. 1lIt Was old Mart,s Treat...

My friend and fellow citizen, Mart Mayo is such tremendius big liar till it would be mighty hard for people to be- lieye the cold and solemn truth if he told it. Andy Lucas gives it out free gratis as his public and private opinion that Mart Mayo couldn't tell the truth with dead rest. But when Mart owns up to it that he has been and backed himself agin a great pig snag and brings himself out as the under dog in the fight, l reckon you can sprinkle on little salt and take it for truth.
 For somethin better than a month past, old Mart has been gone off some where's. and when he turned up in the settlement oncst more last week all h,e would tell the boys as to where he went was to the general extent that he had been over in the mountains of Tennes. see bruisin around for his health. But it has now leaked out in the settlement that he fetched back a wagon load of "the first runnins of the corn," which the boys tell me is particular smooth and fine.
 Anyhow, Mart is now tellin bully story, which the most funniest part to me is that it shows him up as the under dog in the fight and brings him out way down at the little end of the horn.
 You understand, boys I had come into town one day from the mountains. where they don't use nothin but pure spring water--I mean they don't use nothin else 1unnin off the corn-and consequentially Twas feelin mighty fresh and promiseus. Then all at oncst 1 thought 1 would mount the railroad cars and ride up to the next station and back, jest mainly to see how it felt. When l got en board of the ears l saw a man, which it seems to me like must of seen him somewheres before that day. I looked at him and he looked at me, we did, till finally at last l couldn't stand it no longer. 1 went over there and slapped him on the shoulder, social like and friendly, and says I to him, says |:
 Mister, your face looks powerful familious like to me. Where in the hell did meet up with you?'
 "Raley l haven't got the answer to that question along with me says he. What Partielal place in hell do you hail from a'
 s.Well, 1 could see right where I had backed my fool self up agin ? sean dalous big snag," the great and gifted liar went on, "and ' reckon you boys can see wherein it vas then old Mart's treat"

 \ week had went by when~bright and early one mornin a covered wagon halted in front of the post office, and the man which hailed from the regions of tar, pitch and turpentine come bulg- in right in and tackled the postmaster oncst more.
 "Blamed if they aint fixed upnow, mis- ter, and fixed up aceordin to law" says he, as he showed two postal cards through the window to the postmas- ter. "Bill's wife she writ 'em both, whilst Bill and me and my wife told her what to set down. Aint they fixed right mister?'
 "They are fixed right" says the post master.
 "Now how much will it cost us to send 'em on through to the old folks back there in the states?'
 Not continental red. The govern mcnt will take them through for noth- in',"
 "The native h'H you say We'll, durne1 if I ever would of thoughtit, And me like the blasted idiot which am-I have been dead square agin the government for thirty-odd years. But blamed if ain't with her, right or wrong, hence forwards from now on. Say, mister, the next time they git up war you jest let us know. and durned if me and my brother Bill don't fight under the old flag till the eyenin stars sing together"
 The two postal cards are shuflled into the mail pouch and then tossed on the noon train The covered wagon, the dogs and the tar bucket have moved on. The man with the smell of rosum in his clothes returns back home, whilst the wide and wicked world wags it's way and all is well.

 "The weather is swelterin hot, Rufus. but if we can fgger on the future from the general appearances of the present there will soon be enc more weddin match and two old fools made happy down in the Panther creek settlement, says Aunt Nancy Newton to me and mother at the dinner table one day.
 "As for me, don't make out like your Aunt Nancy knows everything for cer tain" the dear. delightful old soul went on. as she backed her coffee cup down to the tank for the third time; but bless gracious I aint stone blind if do wear specs. You know, and l know, and everybody knows that old Mises Mix on is now poor, lone widder for the secont time. whilst Elder Butler has al- ready followed three wives to the grave yard over at Pilgrims Rest. Now they are both full of years, as the Scriptures would put it, but they are likewise also full of fool notions, as your Aunt Nan ey would say. On Tuesday before the Fourth of July the widder she went around 10 the Butler place to see if the cider didn't want to buy fine young beef which she had to sell From what l have since learnt they closed the beef trade quicker than you could say seat with your mouth open. But that want the mainest thing, Rufus. When the widder started back home she left her old faded umberella over there at the Butler place-went off and forgot it as clear as whistle, you understand. Consequentially on the mornin of the Fourth when the elder started to the big barbecue and political ratification down at Fuckers mill he had to drive around by the widder's to take her um- brella home. Then naturally of course it just happened that the widder she was also fxin off to the barbecue, and so she got in the buggy with the elder and they rid on down to the mill to- gether under that same old faded um berella. To be certainly l don't know everything for certain. Rufus. but hu man nature is powerfully human and anybody can put two and two together and count up four. And in the main time the widder MiXon's old faded uni brella aint gone nowheres,"
 tn the general run of politics this year have seen a right smart to put me in miud of Aunt Nancy's story of the Wid- der Nixon and her old faded umbrella. Way Inst spring the free silver demo- erats they went over across the creek 10 see the third party people, and when they returned back home they left their umbrella over there. Here late ly itwould seem like the third party peo- pie have come over to fetch the um- berella home and return the visit, and from all the general appearments al she present writin you needn't 10 faint and fall over in it if you see a big pc itical weddin match this summer. They are all under the same umberella now and keepin step to free silver music at the rates of sixteen to one.

One day a covered wagon uolled up in front of the post office load ed with family of people. There was likewise three dogs and one tar bucket ander the wagon.

AN INNOCENT ABROAD.
Charlie Hicks, an Alaska Indian Boy,
ON His Way to school.

A little Indian boy was wandering about
the corridor of the Northern hotel last
night with as independent an air as
though the house with It's appurtenances
were his property. His name was Charles
Hicks. He was a product of Alaska's
mixed Civilizations half-breed. The
stamp II his Indian mother was on his
face, II showed in the brown eyes, the
thick, pouting lips and the dark colored
skin. He was an intelligent lad and FAR
from shy, attributes possibly gained from
the white father. When asked what ne
was doing. where he c.A1e from and
where he was going. the boy told MS story
simply and in good English.
He was from the Friends mission, at
Douglas City. he SAID, and was on his
way to attend school at Salem, Or. He
was going 10 learn 10 be great man.
Already his mind had been stored with
mission arithmetic. reading, spelling and
geography. and he wanted to learn more.
He had been born at Killisnoo, he said.
Three years ago his mother died and the
father. William Hicks, sent him TO the
mission.
Parental love did not seem TO hang
heavily on the boy. He spoke OF his
mothers death in a most cheerful. matter
Of fact way and in the same manner told
how his father had lett Alaska while he
was at the mission and had gone to Port
land, Or The father is farmer near
Portland.
Are you going to see your father the
boy was asked.
Il don't know was the response. Il
CUES not. l go to Salem tonight and stay
there a long time. He can come there
and see me-.
The expenses OF his education were
beng borne by the mission. he explained
in answer 10 a question, and not by his
father.
Charlie Hicks came down on the steam
ship Topeka. without anyone 10 keep him
company on his long journey. He Is only
years of age. When he was set down in
Seattle he relied on the assistance of
those he met 10 direct him as TO the con-
tinuance OF his trip. He bore a card from
the mission telling who he was and where
he wished TO &c. This assistance was not
lacking. as the bright IA Ne of the lad won
friends. His short stay In this city at
forded him great delight. Everything
was new and wonderful. As he stood
yesterday afternoon gazing from the hotel
window two street cars came from oppo-
site directions changing their bells, The
boy almost went wild with excitement
Look" he shouted, they're coming to-
gether." His wonder was unbounded when
the cars passed each other on the double
track. The boy left for Salem last night.
