A WILD WESTERN ADVEN
TURE.
Sam S. Hall, “Buckskin Sam,” and
old Kip Ford were trapping in
Arkansas river region. They were
men of desperate courage, who had
taken their lives in their hands too often
to care for the danger they were exposed
to. Old Kip was a man who stood live
feet eleven in his moccasins—a man
whom you would hardly cave to meet in
the close tug of a desperate battle Elia
hard.brow'n lace was semmed with scars
from bullet, knife and claws of wild
beasts, and his muscular body showed
the mark* of many a desperate struggle.
“Buckskin Sam” was the beau ideal of a
mountaineer and plains man ; the W es
tern hunter that tlie novelist mints and
the school boy dreams of and wishes
some day to be. Although not so power
ful as old Rip, he was a man of great
personal strength and desperate courage.
For many years these two lmd roamed
the trapping grounds together, lighting
Indians, grizzlies and wolves, chased by
night over the burning prairies, defend
their camp against the sudden at
tacks of reel fiends, or spending recklessly
at the monte Iward the money they had
earned so hardly on the trapping ground

royally for many a day. They had a
canoe, and had been discussing the
chance of going down the stream in
order to save time.
‘T ^ - if

said liip. “What do about
the river after we get down to the big
canon, and whoever passed through it/”
“That’s the fun of the thing. Rip.
We do what no one else dare do,” said
«s, m
“I don’t like it,” replied Ford, who
was by far tho more prudent of the two.
“I—ha! what in Jehu is that?” They
seized their weapons and ran to the door
of the hut, just in time to soe a dozen
Indians running down through the grass,
blocking up the only way of escape
The moment the repeating rifles began
to play upon they went out of sight

Sam.
“And that ?”
“The canoe.”
“I am your man,” cried the giant
trapper. “You push the canoe into the
water and throw in the weapons while I
keep those fellows at bay. Oh, would
you ? Take, take.”
An Indian had raised his tufted head
to get a better shot at the trappers, but
before he could get back the unfailing
eyes of the trapper had looked through
the double sights and the rifle cracked.
The Indian sprung suddenly to his feet,
spun sharp around upon his heel and fell
dead in his tracks.
The next moment the canoe shot from
the bank and headed down through the
boiling flood, plunging in the canon be
low so rapidly that the Indians had
scarcely ■ time to recover from their
amazement at the sudden exodus before
the trappers were out of sight. One of
the Indians bounded to his feet and ut
tered a low signal-whoop, and two largo
canoes, containing in all about lifteen
men, rounded a point in the river above
the canon and come flying down under the
strokes of the paddlers. The Indians on
the shore simply pointed down the
and the canoes dashed by at a
furious sliced; the wild yell of the pad
dlers announcing to the white men
they were pursued. The first rapid

water where the current was only

A Ballad of Ico Cream.
Tell ns not in mournful numbers that
this life is but a dream, when a girl that
weighs one hundred gets outside a quart
of cream, and then wants more.—JSbnim
Gazette.
Life is real, life is earnest, and
girls know what they need, but on cream
they are the blamedest set to show their
grit and greed. No encore.— X. Y.
News.
Let us, then, be up and doing, with a
heart for any fate ; but never let us go
a-wooing girls who want a second plate.
How’s that ?— Newsboy.
Lives of such girls all remind us,
we float adown the stream, that the
boys who come behind us, have to pay
for lots of cream. N-e-x-t Yonkers
Gazette.
Be not like the dumb driven cattle, be
a hero in tlie strife; never with
motiier battle, save the ice cream for
your wife. Proceed.—Boston Transcript.
Ice cream that perhaps a sister, trail

feet into a blister that she might her
share obtain Give Uive her ner some some too—HinA too.

Dahlonega Signal: In the early i»art
of last week two United States deputy
marshals, Henry Robinson and Tom
Smith, were sent to execute a warrant
against an old gentleman by the name
of Long, residing in Fannin cyimty,
whom they arrested and were on their
way back to Dahlonega when the sons
or .... the prisoner confronted . , . them in ... the
public road, and, with leveled guns,
commanded i, i the n officers o to < stop , right . ..
thar” and release their man. Messrs.
Smith and Robinson, seeing that the
parties who emerged suddenly from the
Woods had the “drop” on them, deliver¬
ed np their man as tlie only alternative,
when they proceeded ou their way with¬
out further molestation.
Two pieces of ice may be rubbed to¬
