counties of Arkansas buying lot of cattle
which some of the Indian tribes objected
to his driving through their reservations
He wrote to United States Judge Parker
at Fort Smith, who answered in very
strong letter of unmistakable terms that
the Indians had right or power to stop the
cattle, to embarrass the owners or to in any
way interfere with the matter which was
so Fstrictly and purely interstate COM
merce Col. Campbell returned south last

HIS SOCKS ARE FADED.

Jerry Simpson was in town yesterday,
| Mr.. j. Simpson, NJ. c., not Jerry Simpson
the good all-around demagogue. His face
is not changed, but his dress is. In place
Of the old Derby with the appearance of
| hammered brass, neat Stetson SLOUGH
crowns his forensic temples, a tailor-made
suit in place of the whilorn hand-me-
downs. and pointed black shoes in place of
creased brogans year ago. But this is not
the greatest change in the congressman.
He walked up Main street yesterday, de-
void train of admirers or companion to
share the halo of his national glory. He
was once stopped and surrounded by a
crowd. Here the mutation was most APP
parent.
1.-THE Alliance is growing in the east?"
Intercepted some bystander.
Eyes, yes" says Congressman Simpson
with an expression that could hardly be
called an incipient smile, but rather an eff
fort to crush it and establish dignity.
And how are the prospects," chimes in
some worthy soul.
Every encouraging, very" says the con-
gresham, very encouraging, indeed"
with the same exertion to keep the infec-
ton of his voice on level with the alti
tude of his political name.
II tell you what" says an old farmer,
Il am nothing but farmer, but l thank
God for the good work the Alliance is do
ing"
YES" says the congressman, for mo-
ment lapsing unconsciously into Jerry
Simpson, the demagogue, indeed l am
glad to know that the patient knows when
he is sick; it does me good to know that he
must send for the doctor"
The crowd laughs some and Jerry too,
till he suddenly remembers that he is
congressman and pulls his dignity up and
out of the mire and reasoning his stern
countenance.
And is this Jerry Simpson," asks some
body, lightly coming up.
With no smile, no nod, but still with the
square lines of unbending reserve on his
face, Congressman Simpson assents,
Eyes"
But it is not Jerry Simpson with his in
fictitious laugh, his sparkling eye, his ex-
tended hand; it is not Jerry Simpson to
whom no man was too black, or too hum
ble or too uncomfortable to be received as
the best of men. 1t is Congressman Simp-
son, with a stilty mien, scathing eye,
lifted chin, a stern mouth and
pinned. patched and pieced dig
nifty. 1t is not the Jerry Simpson who
could have had ingalls, place last winter,
but it is Congressman Simpson who has
gone east and rubbed up against the
Ignatius Donnellies, the Roosevelts, the
Clews and the great world of intellectuali
ties and has discovered that it is all he can
possibly do to fill congressman's place.
There are no more funny stories. or
clownish turns of the tongue, no personal
magnetism. 1t is Mr.. Simpson, member
of congress, stern stolid and distant. The
Jerry Simpson, of Medicine Lodge, does
not entertain the crowd but the crowd
entertains Congressman Simpson. of
Washington, who condescends to listen
with a Eyes" or "no" or a platitude |
spoken with dignity.
