To have a little fun and play,'

And's not afraid to stand right there
Just where the music goes around.
And let's me get the tune real square.
Sometimes she goes q steamboat ride,
And tells me all OF birds and things;
She lets me hang risht on the side,
And watch the boats that have white

For she would make 'em have good times.

Major Cla:,p's Mis!,ao.
JACK j. H1Lo,

Major Clarp, agent for the Mandan
Gros Ventre and Aricaree Indians, met
with mishap a few days since that was
very trying to him and his estimable lady
The Major and his wife had been over to
Minot, and were returning by way eff the
new stage trail, and when about twenty
miles out halted at slough to water and
feed his team, and had unhitched them
from the wagon, when they became mad
dened at the bites from myriads of sand
flies and mosquitoes and lunged forward
dragging the Major some distance before
he was compelled to unlosen his hold
The animals then sprang forward and
went over high praries on the run. The
Major followed them for several miles,
but seeing he could not overtake them,
went to the first house many miles away
to borrow another team to reach the
Agency. Meantime it grew dark, and the
blind trail could not be followed and Mrs
Clapp set in the wagon seat all night long,
brushing at the millions of mosq uitoes,
and vainly searching the darkness and
listening intentlv for her husbands return.
When morning came the Major found his
wife safe. but with the terror of the night
firmly implanted in her memory. They
then drove on without further Incident
But one of the Majors horses has been
recovered up to last account, though they
were yet searching for the mate. The
team was high spirited and valuable
one.
