CONGRESSIONAL "REpEEMERs"

Since Mcclure first announced his
redemption campaign for the state
things have been going along quite
speedily for the congressman from
the First district. Mr. Mcclure was
the victim OF an awfully mean Indian
last session. He says so. He ought
TO know. The congressman alleges
an Indian came along and offered him
bill about Indian affairs, and, he,
being an innocent man and certain
the measure was just what the In
diaas wanted, introduced II. Since
that time the measure has proven
rather troublesome; in fact, there has
been scandal OF nationwide proper

According 10 Mr.. Mcclure. the In
dian whom he supposed to have re-
presented all OF the red men OF the
lNve Civilized Tribes. went away and
the congressman does not recall his
name; Is not certain he ever knew the

buck and naturally the congressman
regarded the measure as having been
approved. OF course, it's downright
mean Of that Indian whose name The
congressman did not learn TO go and

proved bad; 1t is still worse for the

STRANGER THAN FICTION

Within the hospital he lay,
Stretched upon spotless bed,
The moments slowly wore away,
He had bandage around his head.
He felt the touch Of tender hands
Sometimes when he had closed his
eyes;
He dreamed sometimes OF fairylands
While someone shooed away the
flies
For weeks he lay and rested there
Aud sweet contentment filled his
heart;
lie ceased to wonder or TO care.
When they would ask him to depart.
AT last his wound was fully healed
Twas time to dig down IN hts purse
