A COMIC TRAGEDY.
The Audience Was Ready, but the
Show Was Tangled UP.

came famous as the painter of great
panorama of Mississippi scenery, set
out in his boyhood, in the early thir-
ties, to travel down the Great Water"
In a fatboat with a number Of compan-
ions. They built their boat on the We
bash and were to pay their way by
exhibiting dioramic views in the cabin
at landings. Unfortunately the can.
delights were not then shining
through the sycamores along the Wa
bash, and before the adventures reach
ed settled region they ran out Of pro-
visions. In the woods they could find
nothing but papaws, luscious at first,
but quickly cloying.
For two days, wrote the sixteen
year old DInvard, we had nothing
whatever to eat but those awful pa
paws. The very sight or memory Of
one made me shudder. Then, on joy
full, sunny afternoon, we approached
ShawneetoWn, ILL.,, on tile Ohio river,
where we were advertised to exhibit
AS we came in we could see on the
bank crowd IF people. Some car
ried chickens, some eggs, some yams.
some potatoes. some "side meat" (ba
com and some cornmeal Our dinner
was in sight, for all those things were
intended as payment for admission at
the door. and all were good"
Our stomachs hungered, and our
mouths Watered for the feast: but
alas, we were too eager! Working our
boat toward land, we ran upon a reef
and stuck fast. Every effort to set us
free failed. Darkness came on. and be-
fore our eyes our "house" disbanded
and went home, carrying our supper
with them.
Discouraged and forlorn, we turned
to our bag Of papaWs for what conso-
lation we could find and then went to
sleep. In the night we foated free and
at daylight were in the woods again
eight miles below those luscious pro-
visions. That was one of the most
awful tragedies of my life.-Youths
