U. [. '. MEETS IN
 LITTLE ROCK OCT. {

Little Rock, Sept. 7-The convention of the Arkansas division of United Confederate Veterans will be held Oc- tober and 7, at the old statehouse state commander, last night. The first day will be given over to a business session. On the second day the vet erans will be the guests of honor at a barbecue given at the Confederate home on the Sweet Home pike, by the Sons and Daughters of the Confeder- acy.
 Work of cleaning up the old state house and grounds was begun by con- victs from the state penitentiary, un- der Warden Dempsey yesterday.
 The building was set aside by an act of the legislature as war me- morial, but funds for repairing the building will not be available until July, 1922. Unless money can be bor- rowed there is no prospect of doing any really work on the building until that time, according to General Green, who is president of the board of trustees of the war memorial. He said that the trustees are trying to negotiate a loan of S3,00O from the American Legion, which they hoped to use to reroof the building and to stucco the outside walls.
 The trustees plan to make the building real historical museum ultimately and to repair and furnish the old state chamber so that it can be used for convention of patriotic societies.

CALIFORNIA JOE'S JOKE ON THE -~ SOLDIER BOYS

< / California Joe was a man of mys. tery. His real name Is unknown, some saying 1t was Joseph Milmer. and oth- CTS asserting 1t was Hawkins. What ever 1t may have been made little diff ference in his fame, for his title of California Joe was known from Can ada to Mexico, and from the Missouri river to the Pacific coast. One of the traits of this quaint old scout was his 1ondness for a practical joke, and many long days march in the Indian campaigns was made lighter for the officers he served by one of his pranks.
 One time during the Sioux war of 1876, while he was scouting for Col. AnsOn Mills, he discovered an old grave along the trail. Jee stopped, took of his hat and bowed his head reverently. The soldiers immediately did the same and asked him the req son for his act.
 This here Is the grave of poor Amos Billings" said Joe. He was with me back in 1886 when we dug gold in the Black Hills. We got so much that we had all our pockets full. and even our mules wuz loaded to tn las pound. One night we camped right on this spot, and thet night poor Amos took the cramps. Lordy how he did suffer is awful for me to think on now. We done all we could but the poor feller died thet night.
 I've all had all tn gold we could carry, so we jest buried Billings dust with him, includin' what his mule wuz carryin'. fer we didn't think We had any right to take 1t Poor Amos Bill lings Here's one more tear to moist. en your grave"
 That night the soldiers took spades and rushed to poor Amos Billings |" grave. They dug and dug. After go- ing down 10 feet they found some old lings" never existed except in the im- agination of California Joe, and when the tired soldiers came struggling into camp, his only comment was: What 'fernal fools these fellers bel"
 He next became trapper and worked for Old Jim Bridger until 1851, when he went to Oregon on a hunting expedition. At the outbreak of the Civil war he joined the Union army as a scout and was one of Der dan's sharpshooters in Virginia. He drifted West again and became the favorite scout of General Custer who ita campaign in 1S67
 After scouting for Crook in the campaign of 1876. Joe became a min CT in the Black Hills and was killed there by an unknown assassin Decem. Der 5, 1876.
