Poem Attracts Attention.
Written in verse and sandWiched
between pen pictures of Indians, birds
and animals, also the work of Mr..
Bennett, they have attracted consider
able attention. The text is as follows:
Rocky Boy, the mighty chieftain,
Thunder gun of the insurgents,
Trouble maker of the hostiles.
Calls his scattered braves together!
In the kingdom of the eunuchs,
In the District of Columbia,
Let there be feast of dog meat;
Let the wandering ones foregather
With the peace pipe and the smoke
stick,
With their tomahawks and breech
I clouts,
With their war paint and their
feathers.
Many moons have swelled and
shrunken
Since the braves have seen each
other;
Almost they are now as strangers,
Who. among outlandish faces,
Hug their wampum to their bosoms,
In their fear of bunko steerers.
Shutdown Sam, o desert digger
Let the signal fires be lighted,
Let the wild warwhoop be sounded,
Let the arrOw-footed message
Fly to every brave and warrior.
Summon all the braves together
TO the campfire of their chieftain,
There to eat dog meat and ponder
On the strategems of white men
And the wiles of politicians;
There to drink the happy water,
There to smoke the happy peace pipe
There to swap and lie prodigious,
There to eat and drink and cheer up!
In the month of February,
In the middle of the dark moon.

Cover all the earth with bleakness,
