a rescuing band of rangers made
Far back in the days of yore.
The brave was big one stuffed with
chaff,
And we tied him fast to the back of
a calf
That was standing over the way.
And we tied in his arms the maiden
fair
With her beautiful form and flowing
hair,
And the maiden was made of hay;
How proudly floated our feathers
and yarn
AS we led that calf out the back of
the barn,
And started him up the lane;
How fercely the hatchets and ar
rows flew
Till the girl was saved and the fee
ing Sioux
Was finally caught and slain.
1t cost our fathers three dollars and
a half
To pay for the way we crippled that
calf
n our rescuing raid that day;
And the birch played some of its
merriest tunes
On the following part of the panta-
looms
OF the principal scouts in the fray.
Nay, fear me not lone, wandering
Lo,
Hunt up your people wherer you go
And bear them this message for me:
l am meek as lamb and gentle now,
have washed the paint from my
warrior brow,
And my Indian raids are DER.

PLAYING INDIAN.

While silently Isitting in my
library the other night, with my
graceful limbs entangled in a pair
of forty-dollar lace curtains and
ever and anon expectorating in a
porcelain cuspidor, thoughts of
my old home, way up in the
mountains of East Tennessee and
the jolly good times l had while
being jerked up come fitting
through my mind, | remember
as if it were only yesterday how
four or five congenial spirits
would make an appointment in
some lonely place and turn our
coats wrong side out, stick roOs-
ter feathers in our hats, paint
our faces with polk berries and
start on the war path. Some
times these raids ended disas-
trously for the braves and one in
particular came near ending my
short and checkered career.
| had an old cotton rope, one
end tied around my waist and a
loop in the other end, and under
took to lasso our COW and bring
her home from the field. After
several attempts | succeeded in
getting the rope around her neck,
instead of over her horns. The
other braves were so elated at
the accomplishment that they
began to whoop and dance, and
some of them accidentally |
hope) jabbed the old COW with an
arrow. The astonished bovine
let out across the field and |
could not turn her loose. | called
her but it did no good. She
made a bee line for the fence
and went over it. | staid on this
side, but if the rope had not
broken | would in all probability
be kicking up my heels and let
ting my hair grow long on the
green fields of Eden.
Another time | remember very
painfully and distinctly. but the
subject rises above prose and my
muse takes her flight in verse:
THE LAST RAID.
Fear me not lone, wandering chief,
Seek not your people in tears and
grief
To bid them arise and flee;
Fear not, old man Afraid of the
Drought;
Fear not Wah-he with Pipe in Mouth
Or whatever your name may be.
The days have gone when with
painted face,
A warrior bold / hunted your race
In the neighborng woods and caves;
The days have gone when with
mighty jumps
| buried my hatchet in logs and
stumps
And called them treacherous braves.
All well l remember the last bold
raid
