•'ONE MORE KISS, MAMMA!"
I rocked my baby boy awhile,
And called out many a sleepy smile
Upon the little lips, till he
Almost asleep had seemed to be.
Then in his crib Held him down,
My little lamb, with eyes so brown,
And kissed tho rosebud month so sweet,
Then turned to go, with noiseless feet.
But quick from Mischief-Innd there flow
A little sprite. Vfhat did it do
But whisper to my sleepy pet,
‘■Don’t let mamma go from you yot."
Then sat my boy upright in bed,
And shook his tangled, curly head,
"Mo no ns’eep, majnma,” cried ho,
"So turn an’ tiss me, one-two-freo 1"
"Just one kiss more," I said, and pressed
The dear form closely to my breast,
But, multiplying ono by ton,
1 kissed him o’er and o’er again,
Till, thinking he was satisfied,
Again I left my darling’s side,
lint just ns I had reached tho door,
A roguish voice called: "Jos' one kissmore.
I went again with kisses sweet
Bis own dear coaxing lips to meet,
And while I waited, singing low,
To Dreamland heat last did go.
Ah, mo I when ho shnll older grow,
Will mother’s kisses pleaso him so ?
God gnido ns both till life bo o’or,
And 1 may kiss my boy no more 1

DOING Ills DUTY.
A short distance abovo BeuficUlin,
Texas, where the Middle, Good Spring
and Sontli Forked tho Concho river
unite and foraj the main Concho, is
a littlo motto of cottonwood and willow
trees. On the upper edge of tho motto
Is a giant specimen of the former variety
and at its room, within sound of the
rushing river iu whoso muddy torrent
he perished, lie the bones of Christopher
Posey, better known along tho South
western frontier by the more familiar
title of “Kansas Kit," Posey came
down out of tile Northwestern country
and located at Fort Concho when lmflfalo
hunting on the great Staked Plain was
a profitable business.
Ho was a “killer” nnd during the
buffalo limiting season found remuner
ative employment. I was on tho range
with him several Bensons nnd found him
n very agreeable and entertaining part
ner. ' Ho wns bom on the Knnsns
frontier nnd lind never visited a sottle-
mont larger than a post town. He was
ignorant, of lore learned from books, bHt
the great teacher, Nature, had found
him an npt nnd appreciative student,
and in plain forest and mountain craft
he was unexcelled. Ho wns an unerring
shot, a splendid trailor, a good horse
man and posseued of an abundance of
that cool courngo so essential to tho
frontiersman. In tho course of his
• somewhat checkered careor ho had
pnssod through advontures of the most
startling and hazardous description, bnt
ho rarely spoke about himself, and what
I learned of his history was gleaned by
dint of much questioning in conversa
tions around fhe camp fire. Physically
Posoy was a splendid specimen of man
hood. Ho waa over six feet in height,
broad shouldered, deep chested aud ns
strong as a mountain lion. When I wns
with him on tho buffalo rango lie wns
strictly temperate, and as buffalo-killers
received pretty good wngos bo wns nblo
to snvo up quite a snug sum, which ho
kept on deposit with nn outfitting trader.
After tho buffalo left Texas Posey’s oc
cupation wns gOne. He knew every
foot of the country, howevor, and
secured a position at Fort Conelio as
one of the guides and scouts. He began
to drink, moderately at first. Ono day
I saw him fighting drunk and bent on
painting things a vivid red. After that
it was no uncommon thing for him to go
on sprees, during which ho wns quarrel
some and dangerous.
He killed two or three men aud there
by enrolled himself in the “born on
Bitter creek squadron.” Presently ho
became a terror and men tolerated his
reckless and unlawful behavior through
fear. He always went armed to the
teeth and it could be truly said “that the
click of a six-shooter and tho groans of
a dying man were music to his ears,” I
was at tho post ono day whon Kit was
running things. Mounted on a big
gray horse, he galloped up and down
the post, snouting and yelling like a
demon. A half dozen six-shooters were
thrust in his belt and a buffalo gun
rested aoross the horn of bis saddle.
Hu nmusccUuraself by discharging these
weapons in the most reckless manner,
regardless of oonsequences, and wound
up the day’s debauoh
cent and inoffensive
bv killing an inno-
old Mexican, who
ag H
way of a casino as Kit rode up.
Somo of the men who were hastened to
their longmcoSiint through the instru
mentality of his six-shooters loft behind
them demoted friends, who swore to
avenge their companions’ untimely
taking off but somehow these post*
mortem avengers never suoceeaea in
“getting ijpdlBeir fine work,” and Kansas
Kit’s fame as .a r bad man, whom it was
dangerous offend, spread all along
the frontier^ In 1880, just before the
Victoria raid, Kit left Concho, as scout
and guide*, in charge of a party of emi
grants bqund for the fertile plains of
lower New Mexico.
Among these emigrants was a family
named Jovco, consisting of John Joyce,
his wife and daughter Alice. The latter
was a beautiful girl of seventeen, as
gentle as » 4ove and as fair as a lily.
Joyce was from one of the older States
and had been a man of some property.
Alice had, been reared in comparative
luxury, bmf’the rough camp life of the
emlgrantsrfHP^mecl to agree witn ner And
she was a^Uappy and light-hearted as
field lark.!{-jSn their journey toward the
land of pranl^e the emigrants followed
the old ofiwud trail and reached Bars’
Canyon wVjMft accident or startling ad
venture. TGfiey arrived at the entrance
to the canSm just at night and Kit, who
was ridinSn advance, assured the tired
travelers mat they would soon reach a
camping nkce. So far he had discov
ered no fiwi Indian sign and he was
hopeful ofsbonducting the party to their
destinatioBviithout meeting any of the
red men. Jpnally, half way through the
canyon, tHu-eached a little spring of
pure watejlgi#! prepared to camp for the
night. Tlienred horses and mules were
unhitched . from the great “prairie
schooners” (they had been dragging
tlirough tlif hot alkali sand all day), and
after beingande-Iiued and hoppled were
turned loose to graze under charge of
two men. **•
Some of the emigrants gathered fire
wood and their wives and daughters be
gan to prepare their-coarse eventide
meal. The little children played togeth
er in the Sand. Posev shouldered his
rifle.nnd, entering a rough arroyo,began
to climb toward the top of the moun
tain through whioh the caifyonran. He
wanted to take an observation and make
sure that there were no Indians prowl
ing about the camp. This wm the red
men's favorite place of attack upon emi
grant trains and was admirably fitted by
nature for an ambnscade. The canyon
walls were rough and broken, composed
of great masses of huge boulders whioh
had been torn from the side of the moun
tain during some terrible oonvulsion of
nature. Among these rocks a thousand
Indians oould seorete themselves and
with their rifles hurl a shower of death
down upon any one passing through the
canyon. Posey was halfway up the
mountain when a deafening and blood
curdling yell rose high above the inno
cent prattle of the children playing
abont the spring. The opposite canyon
wall canght the sound waves and hurled
them book in a thousand echoes. A hun
dred painted Indians leaped from their
hiding places ; there was a confused rat
tle of firearms, shrieks, groans curses,
screams. Posey saw that the emigrants
wero attacked by an overwhelming force
and he Bank down among tho rocks with
a shudder of npprehcnBion.
Suddenly a woman’s scream rent tho
air and he started to his feet and peered
down the arroyo. Alice Joyce was strug
gling up tho* rooky defile closely fol
lowed by two Indians. Her long, gold
en hair streamed behind her and her
face wns white with terror. Posey de
termined to save her. Ho raised his
Winchester took qniok aim at the fore
most Indian, pulled the trigger and
instantly covering tho red man's com
panion fired again. Both of the bucks
dropped down nmong the rooks dead
nnd Posoy ran toward tho poor fugitive,
who had fallen to the ground overcome
with fntigue and terror. He raised her
tip and whispered a few encouraging
words into her ear.
‘ ‘If we can only reach tho top of tho
mountain,” he said, “we can escape.
Loan on me nnd I will help vou.”
The trembling girl obeyed nnd thoy
reached tho top of tho mountain with
out nttrnetmg tho attention of tho In
dians, who wero busily engaged in tho
canyon below scalping the slain nnd
plundering tho wagons. Posoy and
Alice Jovco had escaped massacre. To
gether they struck out across the moon-
tain and eventnally, after many priva
tions nud much suffering, reached Fort
Davis. Posey reported tho presenoo of
Indians and a party of soldiers started
out, nnder his guidance, to pursno nnd
punish the red murderers. When he
returned to tho post, nfter nn unsuccess
ful search for tho Indinns, who had
hidden themselves nmong tho rocky
canyons of El Sierra Dinbolq, Alice
Joyce received him joyfully ns her res-
cuor from n fate horrible to contem
plate. Tho rongli scout’s heart wns
touohed by her bennty nnd holplessnoss,
and in his bluff, honost way ho asked
lior to bo his wife. She consented and
tho post chaplain married them. After
brief honeymoon tho couplo returned
to Fort Concho nnd Posoy built a jacal
for bis bride on tbo right bnnk of tho
middle fork of theConoho. Very mnoh
to everybody’s surprise he stopped
drinking and enrsing and was altogeth
er n changed man. He devoted him
self to his littlo wife and by dint of mnoh
hard work made tho surroundings of
their humble homo very bright and
pleosnnt. One of Posoy’s neighbors
wns a man named Ike Henderson. He
wns married, had ono child—a littlo
girl, six years old—and lived abont a
half mile above Posey. Henderson had
had reputation. lie wns a confirmed
rustler, wns suspected of being a oow
and horso-thief and had killed several
naou in bar-room difficulties.
Several years before Posey had killed
one of Henderson’s partners and tho lat
ter longed for revengo. So far whole-
somo fear of Kansas Kit’s deadly six-
shooter had deterred him from openly
declaring his enmity. Abont two
months after the soout’H marriage, how
ever, both men were in Bonflcklin to
gether and Henderson was drunk.
Meeting Posoy on the street, he openly
and grossly insulted the scout. Several
saw the insult and expected Kit to shoot
the rookless rustler down in his tracks.
To everybody’s surprise Kit turned on
his heel and walked away. This seem
ing cowardice strengthened Henderson’s
courage and he followed the soont up.
Ye’re a big ooward, Kit,” he
cried, "an’ ye’re afraid tor face me,”
At this imputation of oowardice Kit
turned quiokly and faced the rustler.
The lattor drew his six-shooter, hut Kit
wns too qniok for him. He sprang for
ward, seized the weapon, wrenohod it
from Henderson’s hand and tossed it
into the street
“Look hyar, Ike,” he said, and his
voice trembled with passion, while his
gray eyes fairly blazed; “ye lie when ye
say I’m a ooward, an’ ye know hit. I
fear no man, an' least at all yon. I oud
kill ye wbar ye stand, but I promised
my wife that I’d take no man’s life 'oept
in self-defense, an’ I’m going ter stand
by thet promise.”
Henderson was amazed, andtheorowd
whioh had gathered, expecting a
tragedy, tamed away witn audible
sneers.
“Kit’s tied to er woman’s apern-
strings,” was one of the bystander’s
comment, bnt Kit turned upon him
fiercely.
“Ye lie I” be cried, and the man
shrank book among the crowd. 'Tm er
free man, bnt I made er promise tow
ther best little woman God ever created,
an’ I’m goin’ to stand by hit.”
Most of the men present remembered
when Kit was the “terror of the town,”
and no further remarks were made, al
though the crowd whispered among
themselves as Kit walked away. The
story was noised about the town, and
comments on bis strange resolution were
varied. The bettor class of citizens
commended the brave soout, but the
bad element sneered at his womanish
ness, and some of them, were found bold
enough to declare that Kit had been
running a “John Branch play’' an these
years. Fortunate for the nttorers these
remarks did not reach Kit’s ears. He
went about his business as usual, and
devoted himself more closely to the lit
tle tule-thatched “lone house” on the
river bank. Henderson boasted that he
would whip the scout on sight, nnd com-
ground and Posey started a firs. Pres
ently a man and woman approached the
fire. It was Henderson and hia wife.
The woman was crying bitterly and
wringing her hands.
What’s ther matter?” asked Kit
kindly.
Nettie, our little girl,” sobbed the
woman.
What of her?”
Ther water knm er boomin over
onr cabin," said Henderson, “an’ we
just bar’ly got out with, our lives. Nettie
was washed away an’ hit hez broke ther
ole woman np pow’rful."
Poor little Nettie," said Kit, and hia
voice softened.
The grief-stricken mother redoubled
her lamentations and Kit’s wife drew
tho poor woman down besjide her. Sud
denly a shrill cry for help was borne to
their ears and the whole party started
to their feet.
“Hit’s Nettie,” cried Henderson.
“Yas," contained Kit; "she’s lodged
in the cottonwood motto. ”
“Save her ! Save her 1” wailed the
child's mother and she fell on her knees
nnd raised her hands beseechingly.
Thar’s no boat," answered ner Hus
band, ' ‘an’ even ef thar was, hit wouldn’t
live er minnit in er current like thet.”
"I’ll save her, ma’am,” said Kit
calmly, and nnhnckled his belt and laid
down his rifle.
His wifo sprang to his side, all trem
bling.

One of the features of the programme
of aeity theatre has been ths exhibition
of the trick and performing dogs of
Prof. J. Barton. The dogs, eight in . —

pale face. "I kin do hit, ef any man in

"Very well, ’’ said Alice. ''Bnt if yon
should lose your life. Oh, Kit 1” and
she burst into tears.
“Don’t try bit, Kit 1” cried Hender
son, warningly. "Ye’ll on’y loso yer
life. ’’
Again tho pitiful cry of the ohild
enrne wafted across tho swollen river.
“I’ll sovo her or die," was Kit’s an
swer and, witli a last tender look at his
woeping wife, ho sprang toward tho
river.
Henderson throw an armful of wood
on tho fire and it leaped np higher. . In
breathless silence they bent their heads
and listened for some Bound from the
bravo man who wea already battling
with the rushing torrent. Presently
they heard a lusty oheer and they knew
that he hod reached the cottonwood
motto in safety. Henderson ran to the
edge of the black water, which was every
moment creeping higher, and shontod
encouragibgly to the hero. Kit an
swered him and guided by the latter’s
voioo Henderson ran along the bank to
assist him in making a landing. He
could honr Kit as he battled with the
waves and every minute the soont
neared the shore. Now he oonld see
him holding the little girl high above
tho mnddy waves. He knelt down and
stretched out his arms. Kit oame closer
—another lnsty stroke of his strong arm
and Henderson was able to tonen the
ohild. Ho lifted her to the bank and
held out his arm to Kit. The soont
led manfully bnt the water boiled
fleroeTy about him—he loet ground—the
onrrent carried him from the shore and
Henderson was powerless to aid him.
“Take kcer uv Alice I Godbleaa her I”
shontod Kit feebly, and he sank beneath
the waves.
They found the body abont a week af
terward on tho river bank below Ben-
ilcklin and they buried him at the foot
of the big oottonwood, from whoee
branches he hsd taken Nettie Hender

ten minutes. They were unmnzzled.
He gave them drink and then called
them book and ordered them on top of
their kennels. One of them named
Jack hod no sooner got on his oage than
he fell off in what the Professor sup
posed to be an epileptic fit. He put the
animal in his cage, and immediately
Till, a blue greyhound leaper, was
seized with similar symptoms. The
other animalB dropped down in spasms
in rapid sneccssion, and in ten minutes’
time the entire eight were lying aronnd
the yard in a dying condition. They all
died within eight minntos excepting
Katie, a black greyhound.
Prof. Burton believed that his pets
had been poisoned, and summoned Dr.
Mark L. Frey, a veterinary surgeon.
Katie lived four hours. Dr. Frey ad
ministered emetics in the hope of saving
her life. A post-mortem examination
was made of Jook, and he was fonnd to
have oaten a piece of cooked liver pois
oned with strychnino nnd Fnris green,
The eight dogs who died were Harry
a black spaniel triok dog, valued at
#500; Katie, three years old, worth
8500; Tony, a Russian poodle, trick
dog nnd leaner, 8500; Jack, a trick dog,
four years old, 81,000; Till, a blue grey
hound, 8500; Frauk, brown English wa
ter spaniel, clown dog, valued at 82,000
(Prof. Bnrton snid that he had been
offered 81,000 for tho auimnl), Paul, a
white German poodle clown dog, nnd
companion to Frank, 81,000, and Wyan-
neto, a black greyhound, two years old.
Prof. Burton said that this dog was tho
favorite of the collection. He oonsid
ered him the champion leaping honnd,
for length and height, in the world. The
dog was entered in a match for $1,000.
Prof, Burton said that the dogs had
all died from poisoned liver, whioh they
had pioked up during the ten minutes
they were exercising in the yard. Pieces
of liver about two inches long impreg
natod with Paris green wero found scat
tered on the ground. Prof. Burton was
sure that they had been thrown over
the fenee from 115th street, in the ex-
g station thlt the dogs would get them.
e attributed tho poisoning to jealousy,
be said he would not tell at present
whom he suspected. He said that it
would be worth $1,000 to any person
who would expose tho authors of the
outrage.
The dogs performed for several years
with Haverly’s Minstrels and with other
shows. The owner asserted that they
were the best collection of performing
dogs in the country. Some of them he
hod been training for seven years.
Superintendent Hankinson, of the So
oiety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, and a number of his assistants
viewed the dead animals in the after
noon, and began an investigation into
the circumstances of their death. One
of the officers visited the meat shops
and drug stores in the neighborhood.
He discovered what waa thonght to be
a olne to the perpetrators. The body of
the dog Jack was removed to the soci
ety’s dissecting room for examination.
The other animals were left lying nnder

A Few Interentlnv Note* About Newspaper*
nil over the World*
From Hubbard’s Newspaper Direc
tory for tho present year, many inter
esting and suggestive facts are to be
gleaned concerning the periodical press
of the United States and Canada. In
these two countries, it appears, 15,834
newspapers and other periodicals are
published, a net gain of 4,003 for the
past two years, and an increase of 4,416
over tho number printed four years ago.
The increaso in different classes of peri
odicals has been as follows during the
past two years: Dailies, from 1,037 to
,310; weeklies (including Sunday
papers), from 9,326 to 11,449—besides
168 semi, 59 tri and 84 bi-weeklies; and
monthlies, from 1,872 to 2.282— besides
805 semi, and 36 bi-monthlies. The to
tal number of papers, eto., in New York
State has increased in two years from
1,885 to 1,964; in Illinois from 971 to
1,255; and in Missonri from 546 to 727;
and in the Western States in general the
increase has been larger than in any
other section of the Union.
In the edition for 1882, Mr. Hnbbard
stated that there were then published in
all languages throughout the world
more than 84,000 newspapers, of whioh
abont 16,500 were in the English lan
guage. He now shows 15,884 news
papers in the United States and British
America alone. If from this number be
dednoted 969 for those published not in
English, there still remain nearly 15,000
newspapers on Amerioan soil, in the
English language. To those add those
in other lands in the English language,
from Mr. Hubbard’s latest statistics, as
follows: In Great Britain and Ireland,
4,500; India, 200; South Africa, 100;
West Indies, 150; and other plaoes, 650;
total 5,600; and the aggregate number
of existing newspapers m English,
throughout the world, is seen to be 20,-
600. Mr. Hubbard estimates the number
of existing periodical publications in all
tongues on the globe to be about 40,000,
more than one-half of whioh, as will be
seen by the foregoing, are in the English
language. Properly enongh has he called
it the “giant language of civilization.”

In the early part of September, 1882,
a heavy rain set in along the Southwest
ern frontier, and an unusually large
quantity of water fell in the Concho val
ley. Those that were wise took warning
by the rising flood, and deserting their
cabins on the river bottom, made camps
on tho high ground. Henderson and
Posey remained. On the night of tho
18th of September Kit retired as usual.
Late in the night he was aroused by
hearing the lap, lap of water, and when
he leaped out of bed there were 8ix
inches of water on the cabin floor. He
aroused his wifo and, gathering together
their more valuable possessions, they
sought safety in flight. By dint of

canvas in the yard. Prof. Burton said
that they would be buried immediately.
Henry Bergh, the President of the so
ciety, offered a reward of $100 for infor
mation whioh would lead to the arrest
and oonviotion of the person or persons
who did the poisoning. Dr. Halleek,
the manager of the pavilion, offered a
farther reward of $200.
Dr. Halleek said that he oonld no
conoeive what motive had prompted the
poisoning. Ever since his entertainment
opened, residents of the neighborhood
had shown hostility to it. The street
on whioh the pavilion is located is one
of the widest and finest in the city. Op
posite the pavilion, and on tho upper
side of the street, are a row of brown
stone houses, mostly ocoupiod as pri
vate residences. Dr. Halleok said that
the opposition to him came from the
residents of those houses. Complaints
had been made oguinst him to the Health
Board, the Sooiety for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children and other bodies,
and a great deal of annoyanoe had been
caused him. He paid a license for his
entertainment and made it as respect
able and orderly as any given in the city,
and he did not propose to be driven
away because two or three did not like
the proximity of his place.
He said that Dr. Henry T. Peirce was
the lsader in the movement. He conld
not tell what motive aotnated him.
Inquiries were made for Dr. Peirce at
his residence, but he was not at home.
Other residents said they thought the
pavilion detracted from the quiet and
desirability of the street.
Dr. Halleek and other managers are
arranging a benefit to be given to Prof.
Burton this week. Prof. Burton had
three dogs whioh he kept in their ken
nels, and they, of course, escaped the
poisoning. He said that it would take
him years to get together a troupe of
animals as intelligent and remarkable as
the one he had lost.
A Few Facts About Fanners.
Tho census of 1880 shows that tho
agricultural workers, all told, number
7,670,493. Of these 2,323,876 are
counted as wage workers, the rest
being farmers, etc. Strange to say the
amount paid for wages is not given in
the last census; but, using the figures
given in the census of 1870, we find the
wage-workers then only got an average
of $53 per year; add to this $100 for
board and we have the average wage
of farm hands as only $153 per year. '
Yet these men all have votes, and
they vote lawyers into nearly all places
of profit and power. There are by the
last census only 64,137 lawyers in the
United States. The very poorest
public office whioh lawyers fill is worth
$1,000 per year, and from that up to
Judges aud Commissioners, which get
$5,000 to $16,000 per year. Those offices
and those wages are voted by the farm
workers whose wages are as abovo
mentioned.
If the farmers can stand that sort of
thing the lawyers can. But one
wonders why a Clerk of a Court should
get five to fifty times more than s
farmer. —Justice.
