BILLY BUNCO.

History OF Steer Who Docs n Wholesale
Business as an Arbitration.
In the slang parlance Of some of our
great cities bunco steerer is a man
whose occupation consists in Turing I'M
suspecting countrymen into games of
chance and defrauding them of their
money.
Billy Bunco, however. is not a man,
but Texas steer, and is probably the
greatest arbitrator in the land. For
six years he has been employed in such
wholesale betrayal of his comrades
that the burden of his sins, as ex.
pressed numerically, is simply astound-
ing. Billy is owned by great Chicago
beef house and his vocation consists in
leading cattle to slaughter. The cattle
OF arriving at the stock yards are much
alarmed ut the smell of blood, and it is
exceedingly difficult to drive them, as
they seem to have y premonition OF
their impending doom; but where one
of their number leads they follow
blindly.
An employee opens the gate of pen
and calls out: IAN right, Billy" and
Billy without delay places himself at
the head of the frightened herd, and
unhesitatingly marches to the door of
the slaughter house, where he quickly
steps aside, while his deluded followers
are driven to meet their fate.
He then makes his way back to the
yard and waits for the next pen to
be opened. and at the signal: "All
right. Billy" he conducts fresh victims
to the house OF death.
1t is impossible to have very much re-
spect for this wholesale and professional
betrsyer. Billy; but perhaps he is not
SO much to be blamed, as he probably
knows that if he should fail to perform
the unpleasant duty connected with his
Office he would forfeit his head, and
disappear in the house, whittier he has
seen so many of his kind enter never
to reappear except in the form OF
steaks, roasts and canned beef
1t is probable that he purchases his
life at the expense of his happiness, for
this betrayal of nearly million lives
a year is telling on him, and he wears
sad and shame-faced expression; SO
possibly, some day, he will mix with
the herd as they go to their death and
sacrifice his life to atone for his mis-
deeds--Once Week.

MRS. RICH ON THE STAND.

of Col. Hughes.

Further Testimony In the Court Martial
of Col. Hughes.
TOPEKA. Kan. Aug. 2+.-The Hughes
court martial continued to drag through
the day and little of interest was elected
from the testimony. After Col. Hughes
completed his testimony the defense
rested, and Judge Advocate Doster
commenced the examination of about
twenty witnesses in rebuttal.
Mrs Ben Rich was called, and when
Doster commenced plying questions the
lady rose to her feet and said she pre-
ferred to stand. She commenced and
for an hour rehashed the story of the
entrance into the hall and the events
which followed. She said the Douglass
house reminded her of 5000
Texas cattle on stampede in a storm.
and that while this kind of confusion
was going on the chaplain stood pray
ing with Welch's buns cursing and
swearing all over the room. In the
midst of the prayer, she said, the door
to the sergeant-at-arms' room was brok-
en- into and plundered. She said sew
eral populist clerks were elected and
that Mrs. Laura NJ. Johns, who was q
witness to the transaction, remarked:
That's right. kick the dogs out"

HOMESTEADERS.
They Will Literally Swarm at the
Opening.
MORE CATS THAN THERE ARE MICE.
Not Enough Farms to Go Round Com
plants Rolling In to the Interior
Department Substitutes Not
Allowed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-From every
point in Kansas and Oklahoma are
coming protests and inquiries from ex-
union soldiers concerning the ability
of agents to represent them ut the
opening. The indications are that
gross frauds are being perpetrated by
persons who claim tn 1T they can act as
agents in securing certificates for
homesteaders in compliance with the
recent proclamation.
The law provides that the ex-union
soldiers shall have the first opportunity
for applying for certificates to make
the race for lands Throughout Kan
sas and Oklahoma agents have distrib-
uted circulars announcing their ability
to represent any number of old SOL
diers, and by this means secured valu-
able privileges. There will be thou
sands more apply at the various booths
for certificates than can be accommo-
dated, as the number of farms in the
strip is limited. But there appears to
be no limit to the number of prospect
i've homesteaders.
Congressman Curtis called at the IN
terror department and established the
fact that no agent could represent
more than one person, and that where
the claim was made that he could salts
factorily represent a dozen or more it
was simply bunco game
Commissioner Morgan stated that
where more than one man approached
a booth trying to represent more than
one person he would be compelled,
after securing one certificate, to take
the foot of the row until he had again
worked to the front.

roamed about the libraries or machine
shops of the town in which he happened
to be, and night not unfrequently found

required to report every half hour to

headquarters. Once, however, the main
Office sent message, asking that q

The determination, industry, per-

Is hurting thunderbolts at the head Of
Chairman Caldwell because of the re-

the eastern lines refuse to do this the

Caldwell replied that the association
was all right and that there was no

More warm correspondence ensued and

A SMALL CHOIR.
How They Rendered Their Evening

How They Rendered Their Evening
Prayer to y More Popular Strain.
Three small children of our acquaint-
ance were sent to bed early one even
ing owing to compa ny being expected
The guests arrived, and, every once in
awhile the mother thought she heard
signs of suspicious hilarity overhead
and once went up to see about 1t, but
all was still. On hearing again sounds
of revelry by night she and friend OF
hers stole softly up 20 the nursery door.
and this is the sight they beheld:
Three little white-robed figures, the
eldest with q brush in his hand, lead
ing the choir, consisting of the other
two white-robed figures, to the popular
measure we all know so well, the
evening prayer being interpreted in
this fashion:
'Now lay me down TO sleep.
Ipray the Lord my soul to keep
II should die before wake,
pray the Lord my soul to take.
Ta-ra.ra boom-deay. etc"
On disturbing this decidedly novel
mode of worship the youthful leader
apologetically observed that they were
tired of the old Now ] lay me-" and
thought they would sing it to a livelier
measure. After that who would dare
to say that ''Ta-ra-ra" did not belong to
the highest order of music?-Philadel-
