The Aykansaw Traveller.
The Story is Told by Col. SANDY
Faulkner.

The Story Is Iold oy Coi. oauoy
Faulkner.
The following introduction by an
nnremembered "explainer," tells the
story of the origin of the "Arkansaw
Traveller
Colonel Sandy Faulkner, the olisi-
nal Arkansaw Traveller, was born in
Georgetown. Scott county, Kentucky,
March 8, 1903. He came to Arkan-
saw in 1920 and settled in Chichot
county on the Mississippi river as a
cotton planter. 10 1920, Colonel
Faulkner, with his father, the late
Nicholas Faulkner, a Virginian by
birth, took up his residence in Little
Rock where he died August 4, 1874,
at the age of II years.
It is well known throughout the
northwest that Colonel Faulkner was
the original personator of the "Ar-
kansaw Traveller" It was his pride
to be known as such.
The story, it is said, was founded
on little incident which occurred in
the campaign of 1910, when he made
the tour of the State in company
with the Hon. A. 81. Server, Cover
nor Fulton, Chester Ashley and Gov
ernor Yell. One day in the Boston
mountain, the party approached
squatter's for information of the route
and Colonel SANDY" was made
spokesman of the company, and it
was upon his witty response the tune
and story were founded. A great
banquet was given in the famous
"bsr-room" which used to stand near
the Anthony House, and Colonel
"Sandy" was called upon to play the
tune and tell the story. Afterward
it grew into popularity. When he
subse quently went to New Orleans,
the fame of the sArkansaw Traveller"
had gone ahead of him, and at a ban
quet amid clinking glasses and bril-
liant toasts, he was handed a violen
by the thengovernor of Louisiana,
and requested to favor them with
the favorite Arkansaw tune. At the
old St. Charles hotel special room
was devoted to his use bearing in
gilt letters over the door, "Arkansaw
Traveller"

take out a policy Of 50, 600. The latter
had no clear idea Of the transaction.
but understood that on paying the
premiums promptly he would be enti-
tied to %, 900 some time. He began
bothering the agent for the money after
a couple Of weeks had passed. and the
agent tried to explain to him that he
would have to die before he could get
It. The Chinaman fell down a cellar

tried to attend to him without calling

A pastime which obtains among the

''packing of of widows" consists Of a
raid by some disconsolate widower and
his friends on some village known to con.
tain a young widow, the forcible abduc.
ton of the lady In question and her mar.
riage to the widower. An instance of
this kind has recently come 10 our no.
tice. A widower living In one Of the
villages Of Kangwha with II friends
went to a hamlet close to the walls Of
Kangwha city where a widow lived
and seized and carried of. after some.
what OF a battle, q young lady. II no
happened, however, that they had mis-.
taken tbs house and unfortunately got
hold Of the wrong lady. EARLY the next
morning an indignant posse came In
pursuit. but the men who had commit.
ted the dastardly deed succeeded In
eluding them. The young lady. how.
ever. was rescued. and after tho house
Of the widower and Its contents had
been completely demolished she was
escorted home In triumph by her hus
