 What do you want a receipt for?'' asked the white man.
 "Me must have receipt" said the Indian.
 But what for?"
 Because" said the Indian, "me may die."
 Well, suppose you do die. cant f collect money from you then"
 But" said the Indian. "i die. Gc to heaven. Lord ask me if l pay white man. say yes. He say where re. ceipt. What l do then? can't go all over hell looking for you"

 "Now, don't see why an Indiar isn't entitled to a receipt as well as white man.
 Jimmie says he shot the English, man dead.

 Walter Stevenson says the worst nightmare he ever had was six or seV- en years ago on a night following some excitement the night before. The excitement:

Keller home, where Walter lives, and passed through window directly over Walters and Paul kel ,ers recumbent forms and out througt' the opposite wall.
 The next night, the nightmare Wick was shooting at Walter. Tn, ] latter said he lodged more than ( hundred bullets so big he could see them before he woke up.
