"codger."
All at once, when Moses had passed
his sixty y-second birthday, and was tell
ing himself that he felt as good as the
day he was thirty, and had every pros

For Killing One Donkey.
In "Reminiscences Of Old Times In
Tennessee" a story Is told Of the good
faith and honor of party of Chicka-
saw Indians, While hunting one fall
they shot donkey, mistaking the
creature for a wild animal They sold
the hide, and 1t finally came TO the
hands Of John Barnes In Upton.
When the Chickasaws returned to
the region of Upton for their annual
hunt the next fall Barnes invited them
to shooting match, the prize to be
the skin of very rare animal.
Thirty braves appeared ut the con
test. and one of them won the prize.
When he saw the skin he turned Il
over and said: "Hn, ha! Me kill him!
Me shoot him. See" And he pointed
TO the fnln buIet hole,
Then Barnes told them that they had
killed Il donkey, n very useful animal.
but he was sure that they had done It
by mistake, believing 1t to be a wild
animal,
The Indians listened attentively TO
the white mans words and then con
suited together few minutes Finally
they separated each brave going to his
pony, unhitching him and leading him
to the spot where Il gang OF white men
stood, Barnes In the midst OF them
Then one of the Indians spoke;
I'VE sorry we kill donkey We think
he belong to the woods. We find him
In cane We think him wild. We sor-
ry Now we pay We take no white
mans boss, pony, nothing OF white
man. We honest. We have ponies;
that's all, fake pay" And he mo-
toned TO the long line of ponies, held
by their owners,
"IIow many?" asked Barnes.
"White man say" returned the In
dian: take plenty"
The honor of the red men was not
equnled by the white men, for, be II
recorded TO their shame. they took
from the Chickasaws thirty-five ponies
to pay for the accidental killing of one
donkey
