The Hush ahd's Hour.

['I have always liked Longfellow's idea
of the children's hour" said Miss Anna I.
Clarke Of the National Federation Of Wo-

an absolute necessity."]
Between the dark and the daylight.
When the night is beginning to lower.
Comes a time In the days occupations
That Is known as the husbands hour.
He hears in the chamber above him
The patter of little feet
And thinks Of the stockings and footwear,
The bills that he has to meet.
From his study he sees in the lamplight,
Descending the broad stairway,
His wife with love q bonnet
She got in the shops that day.
She comes to his side in the twilight
And tells him to close his old book
And signs of trouble she's having
To And her another cook.
His daughter comes in at this moment
And tells Of the coming ball.
She's got to have new gown and slippers
Or she cannot go at all.
His son lounges in for second
To say that his funds axe wreck
And tells Of his college expenses
And asks for a good big check.
The butler has given them notice;
/ The maid says she'll quit, she will wed;
The chauffuer has broken the auto,

The check book is dragged from drawer,
The checks are all speedily drawn,
And husband yemarks with grumble
That soon all his coin will be gone.
The husband is terribly SOUR,

That is known az the husbands hour.

by two or three years.
Alarmed BY the threatened outbreak, the
whole Baker family came to our cabin to stay
until the danger should be over.
On the day following their arrival three
more families who were passing, on their way
TO Independence, seeing that we were going
to remain, decided to stop there, and all
hands were soon busily engaged in building
small log fort, which was erected near our
house.
The new arrivals brought a dozen children
with them, and you may well believe that we
had jolly time together, fishing in the stream a,

SO common to the youths when let loose IN the
woods.
We erected mimic fort, painted our faces
with wild pokeberries and played Indian,

within the forti6cation.

ochre and pokeberry stains, and with pro-
fusion of turkey feathers about my head, l

the pleasures of each others society, that we
rarely bestowed a thought on the dangers
with which we might be surrounded. In fact,
we all felt fully satisfied that the dozen armed
men garrisoned at the little log fort were
more than able to cope with any foe that
might come.
So the days went by. A week passed, and
no outbreak among the Indians occurred. The
settlers began to think that they had been un-
necessarily alarmed, and the four families
stopping at our place began to make prepara-
tions to return to their claims.
The day before the one set for their de
parture, Bob and Jack Baker gained permis-
sion to go and look after some traps they had
set on the creek, near their home was al
lowed to accompany them, and, as soon as we
had eaten our breakfast, we set out down
the creek.
Ny father and Mr.. Baker had gone to Inde-
pendence that day to transact some business
regarding their claims, while those who were
stopping temporarily at the fort were busily
engaged in getting things in shape, to return
to their claims on the following day.
On reaching the Baker cabin, we found ev-
erything as it had been left. We took some
corn from the pen and fed the hogs, which
were running loose in the bottom.
Then we visited the traps, and found mink
and two 'coons had been caught. These were
speedily dispatched and skinned and their
hides subsequently tackled on the side of the
cabin to dry in the sun.
It was nine o'clock when we started on
our return. We had not gone a hundred vards
when we discovered large body of horsemen

AT the early age of ten, had learned to

hunting, fishing and trapping. spent, much
time in tramping through the woods and
across the prairies in search of game,
On these, excursions l was invariably ac,,
companied by one of my older brothers, and
we often penetrated into the Indian reserva-
ton, where we were always received with
kindness, and many is the hunt we have had
with the Shawnees and Osages, whose skill
with the bow and arrow was something to
hill my youthful mind with astonishment and
admiration.
Now, there is nothing that pleases an In
dian SO much as meeting white person who
can speak his language, and he is always ready
and willing to teach any one who shows the
slightest inclination to learn his speech
1t was owing to this fact that picked up
fair knowledge of Shawnee and Usage, and
am now able to carry on an ordinary conver-
sation in either of these tongues.
When l was about fourteen, my parents
moved on to a claim in Southern Kansas, and
saw no more of my Indian acquaintance for
several years.
My fathers claim was situated fifteen miles
southwest of Independence, near the Territory
line, and at the point Just where the old Abb
lene Trail crosses the Salinas Chiquito Uittle
Salt, small stream that now bears the i'm
posing name of Onion Creek.
This tract of land, which was 100000
acres in extent had just been purchased by
the. government from branch of the Usage
tribe, and opened for settlement.
There We're those among the tribe who had
been bitterly opposed to the treaty, and the
most powerful Of these was Chief Big Hill Joe,
who refused to be reconcied, and threatened
to wage war upon the settlers unless they i'm
mediately vacated the land.
The country was thinly settled, and mostly
by people from the East, who knew little Of
the nature of the Indian, and this .threat
caused the greatest excitement among the
claim holders. Many of them fled to oInde.
pendence for safety, where military COM
pany Of 300 men was organized for mutual
protection.
Among the few who remained on their
claims was my father, who gave no heed to
the threatened Usage outbreak.
Although youth at that time, had little
fear of the Indians, as my acquaintance with
them had always been of the most friendly
character.
