white mon, with Louie, the Mexican
(whom wo called, in tho vernacular,
tba Greaser), to mind the horses
and make himself generally useful, i
Our programmo was to flab ' tho
rivers, shoot' deer and possibly a
grizzly bear, discover a gold mino
and go bank to tho ranch with a
prospootivo fortuna ':' fv:..l' - j
- We bad Juat pitched our tent. :
Down on the plain for weeks before
we bad been sleeping out on the ve
randas, bnt the air of the hills had a
nip in it by contrast ; It was late in J
the afternoon, but there was atill !
plenty of eunsbino. I followed Lonio
round a shouhlor cf tho hill, going
to fetch water at a littlo stream
tumbling from somowhoro amonsj
tbo snowy peaks that capped tho
scone of firs on the great mountains
above us. These mountains had at
eomo time cr .other sent down a lit'
tie avalancho of small rocks that lay
hoapod on our loft as we walked.
The jiene was the most peaceful
iniaginablo. ,. .
fin e.h instaut a succession of small
incidents sent the peace to limbo.'
Louie dropped his pannikin with a
tingling clatter, crying "Santa
Maria 1" in a voioo of terror. At the
same inomont I beard the dread rat
tle of a snake and saw its longtb
gleam under Louio's feot and vanish
among tho rooks. , V.
'MSantn Marin!" Iio tottered back
into ray arms, his dark fnoo livid
with fear. .
"What is it, Lonio? Did tbo raako
etriko you?"
"In tho foot," bo shhl, "yes."
"Let us pet back to enrrp. Quick,
loon on nio. "
"What's' tho good, Lous?" hemak
ed. "I'm n dond nnn." Neverthe
less ho came with mo, leaning on
my ohoulder and making n laaio
walk of it. , j
- Down in lho plain we bad no rat- j
tWnnkcs. For miles about the ranch j
tboro were no rocks for thorn, and 1
though tbcro wcro plenty cf ground
squirrel holes wo never saw snakes
about them. The tbonpht of. such
things did not enter our beads, and
Louio, woary of bis boots, had kick
ed tlioni off. with the long spurs,
and came with me in bis stocking
out on this quest for water. -

tbo question of snake bites, which

per ns, to save timo, no knookeu

"Drink it, Ixraie," bo said. "Never

that's tbo obiof thing.!'
Tbo Mexican's toetb chattered as
we forced in the neok of tho bottle,
but be drank a great gulp without
winking. Tbo liquor or pickle, either,
to scorch tho throat of a Mexican
has yet to be found.
Jim Kelly, tbe Irishman, was sad-
dling tbo freshest of our horses, to
ride at host speed into Lindsay, 11
miles away, in tbo base of tbe plains,
for tbe doctor. In a minute he was
pounding away along the hills, "Fix

Jock, "going
along a ridge of a torraoo on a steep
river bank. ; Tho river was foil of
sharks, and I met a brown snake
com inn along tbo ridgo toward mo.
There wosn t room, to turn, and I
couldn't trtke to the river for the
sharks, and I hadn't a gun. But my
pal, coming behind, had a gun, and
" Ja Pkd the barrel in between my

"Is that true, Jock?" I asked. 1
"My heaven, d'you think I'd lio

glance at Louie's faoo.
"Aro yon getting sleeiry, man?"
be said. Then, as Louie did not an
swer, ba took bim under the arm,
and signaling mo to do tbe same on
.the other side we kept him moving
between us up and down and round
tbe tent. From tiroo to timo wo
mado him drink more brandy. ' Ho
bad taken half a bottle, but it seemed
to have no effect on bim.
"It stimulates tbe heart's action,
ybu know," Jock explained, " just as
tbe poii.on ' goes to stop it, but
stryobnine's tho best nets as nerve
tonio. It's a deal to do with the
nerves, this snako bito business."
Wo heard the little ground owls
begin whistling to each other from
the mouths of the squirrel holes I we're in face of a bigger thing to
away down on the plain, and tbo night than snake bite. We're in
bats and moths began to come out
as the sun sank out of sight Tbey
brushed our faces as we continued
to march the Mexican to and fro.
Presently I left tbo work to Jock
and rigged up a pino torob for a
signal light on tbo pole, wbioh I took
from tha wagon. The Job took somo
while, but ot length I got tbo light
fairly flaring. r
"Look at his faoo," Jock whisper
ed to me as I oamo back to bim, .
It was a shocking sight under tho
flickering rays, swollen, distorted,
livid. - Tbo man's arm was swollen,
too, as I ftlt when I took ray plaoo
to support bim. His movements
were Icthr.rgio ond heavy, so that I
wondnred that Jook, unaided, could
havo kept him moving so lone.
"Givo bim moro brandy," Jook
directed "more: that's it. tle'shad
nearly all tbo bottle. Tbore'a

really bslievo tboro is. I thought
hu'd have been doad before now.
Way bo be don't mean dying after
all. A white man'd hare been dead
hnlf an hour ago."
"I wish tho doctor 1 come." . -'
"Mighty littlo good wishing.""
The weary tramp went on. Twice
I had to replenish tho beacon torch,
and once more we gave tbe Moxioan
a gulp of the brandy, which finished
tbe bottle.
, As I was fixing tbe torch for tbe
third time I beard a 'shoot down

happens tliat the salary of a United .
States Senator is tho least of the ex
pense of keeping him at Washington.
; We learn first of all that to keep
the Senate in working order 481
cuspidorcs aro necessary. . Then, for
fear the average Senator should hot
know how he looks 78 mirrors are
provided at publico xpense, and there -are
141 carpet- and 160 rugs, mwy
of them imported, over which the
Senators walk to get at the mirrors.
Tired of gazing at his clawical fea
tures the Senator may sit on any
one of over 600 chairs, or recline on
97 leather couches at 97 different'
time.-. Then he can learn tbe time
of day by any one or all of the 117
clocks, can retreat . behind 34
Jajanese screens, or , play peck-a- -
boo in the rear of 324 curtains and
(only) 2 iimbrequins. Then if he
wishes he can take 57 thermometers
up 31 step ladders, or he can use
tho latter to aid him in placing -
three marido .busts, or climb down ,
with from a bust of his own . if the , :
liquid reetuarant is - not cloaed.
Diving deejwr into the list of articles
necessary to keep a United Stain
Senator properly groomed so that
he can work from four to five days
in the week and .five hours in the
day, we find 8 roach trap, 21 iee
picks, 10 gallons of bay rum, 4 onf- '
fee urns, 21 bottles of lioterine, 18
bottles of "tonic". ; (ingredients not
stated,), and 137 dozen cakes of

Tliis is a corn shucking story, and
it conies from the Horse Shie vicin
ity in Henderson county. ' .
n is a little old, but worth the
telling at this day. If it had no
been for the' election it could not
have !cen told. It seems that a ne- '
gro living in the ncighlrtvood was
a believer in free silver and refused
to go with bis party in its flop to
gold. When he voted the cjlore.1
men of the township gathered about
and muttered against it, but he voted,
the Bryan ticket nevrriheless. ' ,
7 Soon after, the negro had a shack
ing and all of the colored brotheren
of the vicinity were invited. Tbe
night came, bat not a soul 'showed"
up and the corn wasn't shucked.
The white people heard of the "boj -cotf
declared gainst the negro and
they arranged' tut a shucking. The -whites
tamed out in tnrce, preperl .
an old' time supper and shucked the '
corn in the Rgnlatinn style. V I
