CHANGED HIS MIND.
There were five of us who got to the
crossing of Kaw river at the same time,
and we found the old scow which did
duty as a ferryboat on the far side,
with the ferryman dangling his feet in
the water and evidently taking things
easy.
"Say, you I" called a cowboy from
our side.
"Well, what is it ?"
"We want to cross over."
"Yes, guess ye do."
"Come on with the scow."
"I don't have to til I get ready."
"When will you get ready?"
"Can't tell." ;
It was evident that we had bumped
up against an eccentric character, and
as no one was in a hurry, we waited
patiently for him to take his time. Af- !
ter 15 or 20 minutes he called:
"Mebbe ye hain't heard the news!" ;
"What is it?" asked the cowboy i
who bad been delegated to ao tue
talking on onr side. ,
"The price fur gittin' over used to ,
be a quarter, but it has riz."
"What is it now?"
"Half a dollar."
"And I have some news for you."
"Wall!"
"The price of cartridges used to be !
50 cents a box, but they've come down '
to a quarter, and I kin afford to waste 1
a dozen or so!"
"Shootin' at what ?"
"At you ! I'll give yon five minutes !
to make a start!"
"Kin you plunk that ?" asked the
ferryman, as he held up his hat on a 1
stick. 1
"You bet 1" replied the cowboy, as I
he sent two bullets through it.
"That's 'nuff, and I'll come over! 1

every reason to believe that she is a

said the detective in making his report,
"but we have no proof of it and dare
not make the arrest without it." 1
"She looks like a woman, does t
she ?" asked the captain. 1
"Yes, and she walks much like one. 1
Her feet are small, her hands are small,
and her voice and her features are t

"No. I heard her say she didn't {

A Successful Scheme.?Two dark- 1
ies had to carry a large desk to the '
house of Dr. Blister, who had bought *
it at a furniture store. When they ar
rived with the desk he was in and di- (
rected them where to put it. The (
darkies expected to get at least a quarter
apiece for their extra trouble, but
alas! the doctor did not give them 1
anything at all. He forgot all about 1
their suffering in carrying the desk up (
too Sights of stairs. ]
They consulted together for a mo- 1
ment in the hall, and then they began '
to fight and pound each other, calling ]
each other all manner of vile names. 1
No such uproar had been heard since j
the adjournment of the legislature.
Dr. Blister, hearing the noise, came 1
out and wanted to know the cause of 1
the disturbance.
"Dis heah nigger kep' for hisself de
money what you guv him for us bofe, <
for totin' de desk up de sta'rs," said
Sam.
"You is a liar. De doctor didn't
gib me de money You got de money
and kep' it," retorted Jim.
"You are both wroug, boys," said
Dr. Blister. "I didn't give either of
you anything, but I'll make it all right.
Don't fight any more," and taking out i
his pocket-book he gave them a quarter
each. i

A HAIRBREADTH ESCAPE.
AS T01D BY AN OLD RANCHMAN.
About 25 years ago I took possession 1
of a ranch in the western part of New
** ? ? ? ? ?I* TJJA /?Q1 Xlrtftn a rvAnH
lue^iw, UU IUC 1VIU uvt nvi Wy I*
five miles north of Santa Fe. I found
that the pasture land there only waited
to be used to yield a haudsome
profit.
I brought my young wife along with
me, together with our three children,
besides ranch hands, breeding stock,
and what else I possessed, and arranged
things as well as circumstances <
allowed.
' The ranch was in an ezcellent'condition,
its previous owner not having i
spared the dollars. The ranch house
and outbuildings were clean and well <
arranged, the former being uncom- j
monly large and very comfortable. A >
long time ago it served as a sort of
outpost, which the Spanish built >
against tbe Indians. Constructed i
from bottom to top of stone only, and 1
provided with numerous loopholes, it I
looked more like a little fort. Many <
years back, however, the Indians 1
carried the place by storm, and scalp- i
ed every one they found in it. After- I
wards the premises lay a number of <
years in ruins. i
Only when- the country became a |
part of the United States did mv pre- <
j i
jcucaaui uiK.e jjusocooluu ui uuv restore
the house, besides everything <
belonging to it, and handed it over to I
me later, as said, in a quite faultless '
condition. i
I bad lived there contented and I
favored with good fortune for about I
10 years, when the affair took place
which I shall endeavor to relate to >
you. ]
Up to that time I had never been 1
molested by the Indians. Indeed, i
[ had not even caught sight of the f
redskins, who belong to the Apache t
,ribe. They were at that time already t
vanished to the Indian reservation, <
where Uncle Sam's soldiers kept an
jye on them ; and if, in spite of that, <
/hey broke loose from there once in <
i while, and overran the neighboring (
territory, plundering and murdering, f
/he troops always drove them back
with bloody heads, so that they never \
;arae in my vicinity. The ranch lay 1
oo near Santa Fe and the more thick- c
y settled districts. I was already \
iving in the conviction that I would i
lever meet the devils.
One afternoon I rode toward a dis- t
/ant part of my pasture land. The 1
oad led for a long stretch along the t
iver. Before I had got half way, I b
net one of my men, an old and faith- t
til cowboy by the name of Jack. f
"Hello, boss!" said the old man, t
when he approached near enough, s
'I've just seen a sort of smoke rise up i
yonder, such as I don't like to set feyes 1
in. By heaven! I'd like to bet that, i
lp there, where the road fqrks, is the t
smoke oflndians." i
"The smoke of Indians ?" I replied,
ncredulously, although I admit I t
ipened my eyes somewhat wider as I t
"Wn Tonlr n#? r or) air in has fiver I
>aiu IV. XlVj V uun , uv I .
shown-his face here since I took possession."
"That may be, boss," he rejoined ;
'but that's no ground for believing
:hat the Paches (Apaches) will never
stray over this way."
"It was probably a trapper's fire,
lack," I made answer, determined not
:o let myself be so easily frightened.
'At all events, whatever it may be, I
shall let the men drive the cattle
some."
So I rode on, satisfied that the old
jowboy had been deceived, although I
suew he had always lived on the
border, and was thoroughly familiar
with the customs of the redskins.
For that very reason a rather
anpleasant feeling crept over me,
ind I urged my horse on faster, in
jrder to send my men quickly home,
'or then we were strong enough to
:ope with a band of Apaches, who
wanted, perhaps, to take us anawares.
I now left the river bank, and
rode into quite a broad valley,
surrounded by steep walls of rock,
ind in which on both sides of the road,
"**' *"*!-" ~ l-? r?inoo nnH t
WW units, lli IACU mill puvo I*? i
uniper bushes, confined the view. 1
About in the middle of this valley 1
[ came upon one of my cowboys 1
ying on the ground dead and scalped, i
Stopping my horse, I gazed at the t
poor fellow and felt nervously excited, (
notwithstanding the stillness and
peace that reigned everywhere around r
Be. Not a living soul was to be r
seen. I was still revolving rapidly t
n my mind whether I should ride i
nn and warn my men, when an 1
irrow flew close to my face, and i
remained sticking in a tree a few (
feet distant. t
Now there was no longer any c
loubt that Indians lay concealed c
here. It was decidedly too late to g
warn my men and hurry them home, ]
for the Apaches held possession of (
:he valley. I thought of my wife t
ind children, who were at home 1
helpless, so I jerked my horse about, t
ind pressed my spurs into his flanks. I
Now we flew along like "greased t
lightning," but at the same moment g
the redskins darted up behind the i
trees and gave chase, yelling like 1
lemons.
I tell you that was a horrible race, i
The Indians', mustangs ran as fast as <
any horse on the praries. And, be- t
sides, they fired at me incessantly, so i
Lhat the bullets whistled about my i
head. <
I had no weapon with me, and so <
could not return the fire?only ride <
away from it, flee; that was my soul <
salvation. Were my horse struck, i
then all was over with me, and with <
them whose lives were dearer to me 1
than my own. 1
My horse was a strong runner, and I
did not let the wild devils get any <
nearer. Like an arrow he shot along i
the river bank, and about four hundred I
paces from the ranch house I overtook tl
old Jack, who, at the crack of the rifle fi
shots, had also hurried homeward as tl
fast as he could. On foot, to be sure, ii
he could no longer have saved his skin, a
I called to him to bold himself fast by
my stirrup strap, and so I dragged the u
old man with me over hedge and bi
ditch. e<
Still fifty paces distant from the sbel- u
tering walls, my horse received a bul- ei
let and fell under me. Now we had to fe
run for our lives. But that would no in
longer have been of any use to us had w
not the Indians, according to their cus- ai
torn, sprang from their mustaugs near k
the house, and next of all sought cover, in
They sent a last volley after us when m
we bad reached the door of the house, m
Jack received a serious wound, while m
I got off with a slight one. a
You can readily imagine that we lost it
no time in shutting and bolting the
floor. Then I surveyed the state of m
affairs, and must confess that my heart w
gave a jump when I weighed the pos- p<
sibilities of our defense. cc
According to my estimation, the red- m
? ?? I ? V. k A./vm f ????! trn t rt a*

men strong. They had been, as we I
learned later, sent off from a large body w
to stampede our cattle, and, if possible, hi
to get our arms also. We ourselves w
possessed, indeed, plenty of weapons bi
ind ammunition, and also a solid stone I
bouse with loop boles, but there were to
>nly three men in it?myself, Jack, pi
ind a cowboy named Tom, who hap- re
pened to have something to do that
ifternoon in the ranch buildings. Two it
)f us were wounded into the bargain, at
ind one quite badly. On the other at
land we bad, including my wife, five st
women and three children to defend, in
3o the prospects were far from favora- w
lie. Still we did not despair for all cr
;hat. y<
First of all, we had to quiet the wo- hi
men, who broke out into tears and la- re
mentations when they saw what a fix th
we were in. After my wife, however, hi
lad overcome the first fright?which in
ibe felt more on account of the children ril
ban. herself?she showed herself?I w
im still proud of it today?to be a true e\
;hild of the border. Still another, a gr
Texas woman, named Maria, was as to
:ourageous as any one else. But the m
>ther women huddled together with the sh
;hildren like a flock of sheep, and cried k(
ind wailed without intermission.
The house bad an upper story, tb
vhich was likewise provided with th
oop holes. We men placed ourselves pe
>n the ground floor, and at first th
vatched the enemy outside.as well as ac
ve could. is
The rear of the house looked toward nc
he river, on which rocked a good
>oat held fast by a rope. In front was w
he yard with the outbuildings, which w
ilso bad loop holes, and stood at a w
ight angle from the house, so that we tb
lanked them with our fire. Properly, sa
he yard should have been taken pos- te
ession of and defended ; but we lacked w<
nen for that purpose, and we bad th
>een in the house scarcely 10 minutes ue
vhen the redskins opened fire on us
hrough the loop holes in the yard gr
vail. qt
We answered the same, of course, w
iow from one spot, now from another, st
ilthough we could see our foes as A
ittle as they us. Both sides fired at th
he opposite loop holes, and the re
Indians, to be sure, had much the of
lest of it at this by their superior v(
itrength. Bullet after bullet flew w
vhistling into the house. My wife ca
ind Maria wanted to support us with A
heir guns; but I would not allow it, 1J
is every approach to a loop hole was It
nuch too dangerous. So we sent us
hem up stairs to watch the river and ?
ioat, and it was fortunate that we did,
'or they had been up stairs scarcely
ive minutes when Maria saw an
Indian glide toward the boat. The J
levil had not reached it yet, however,
vhen she sent him a well-aimed load
if lead between the ribs.
Indeed, the only possibility of escapng
was offered us, in the worst case,
>y that little vessel.
So the firing went on until sunset;
)ut then misfortune fell upon us, and,
rl rmA in t Vl a fullest mpllBlirP First,

Tack was disabled. The trusty old
nan had locked his teeth and suppressed
the pain from a wound, but was at |
ast so weakened by the loss of blood "
bat be could keep himself on bis legs
10 longer, and sank finally to the floor
lalf unconscious. Once more the brave ijjT
ellow tried to rise and take the gun in
lis hand, but fell back again immediitely,
and we quickly carried him to an
lpper room, where we made him as
;omfortable as possible.
That was only the beginning of the
nisfortune. A quarter of an hour later
Tom, the other man, was shot dead on
he spot as he was on the point of firng.
Now the defense on the house
lad fallen upon one man, upon myself. T<
V.nd I assure you that my heart sank T
lown to my feet when I told myself all .H
hat must occur if we wished to escape
lestruction. Yet my stubborn courage fo
lid not forsake me. So long as we of
itill had the boat I would not despair.
3ut I was also to be robbed of even this up
:onsolation. I heard an anxious out- df
:ry from the women upstairs: "The aJ!
ioat! the boat is gone!" I sprang up
he stairs, but only saw how the little in
)oat floated down the stream. One of
he cursed redskins had reached it by
iwimming under the water, and cut the
ope that held it fast. With it our last [
lope seemed lost!
I took it for granted that, when ,
light closed in, the Indians, who had pi
suddenly ceased firing, would renew th
;he attack. In this case, I had no c?
way of preventing their breaking into th
he ground floor of the house. On the tv
ither hand, I thought the upper story
jould be defended, at least for a time,
svith some success. A flight of stone
steps connected the two floors and took
lbove a sharp turn. In the upper ?
story were to be found a few more
oonholes. throueh which the steps, as \
:hey turned, could be commanded, so
;hat it would have been difficult lis
jnough for any intruder to have come
jp against the fire from above. One
,hing was still fortunate for us, that
ie Indians could not set the bouse on
re, even when they had broken into
ie first floor, for in the whole buildig,
as I have mentioned already, not
piece of wood had been employed.
I now first carried Tom's dead body
p stairs, that the redskins, when they
roke in, might not see we had sufferi
losses. Then, before I withdrew
pstairs myself, I looked about me
very where, when suddenly my glance
ill upon a little keg of whisky standig
agaiust the wall. My first thought
as to knock in the bottom of the keg
nd let its contents run out, for I
new that the Indians, if liquor fell
ito their hands, would do 10 times
ore mischief. Then, at the last moen
t, a thought crossed my brain that
ade me tremble, for it opened to me
hope where death and destruction
ireatened us.
I possessed a quantity of mixed
edicine for external use on cattle,
hich contained a very dangerous
)ison. Only a short time before a
>wboy had swallowed a little of the
ixture, mistaking it for whiskey,
id an hour later was a dead man.
remembered it now and set to
ork at once. In five minutes I
id removed the bung, poured the
bole mixture into the keg and
inged it up again carefully. Then
rolled it a few times to and fro,
i mix the contents well, and also
aced, for the convenience of the
dskins, several little cans near it.
Well, to make the matter short,
had grown dark, and my wife
id Maria and myself kept watch
, the loop holes commanding the
aire. On a sudden, without any
dication of an attack, the door
as burst in with a log?a frightful
aBb, and the furious Indians rushed
illing into the ground floor. They
id soon found out our place of
fuge; but, as they began to climb
ie stairs, one of them received a
illet in his heart, and the rest,
timidated, shrunk back. Temporaly
they contented themselves now
lit) stealing anu ueswuyiug wuui'er
fell into their hands on the
ound floor. They bad managed
procure a light, and in a few
inutes I heard from their wild
louts that they bad discovered the
}g of whisky.
Then arose a perfect Pandemonium ;
ey had evidently come to blows over
ie whisky. I had no fear that the
>culiar taste of the same would keep
>em from drinking the stuff. Stomas
that stand such a hellish drink as
'usually sold to the Indians would
>t refuse the most disgusting mixture.
For about an hour the feast lasted,
ith laughter and savage cries, even
ith an occasional wild dance. Meanbile,
with anxions hearts, we stood on
e watch, as we still feared that the
vages might, in their intoxication, atmpt
a reckless attack. In that case
e could not protect ourselves against
em long, and then all was over with
>.
But after another half hour it grew
adually still, and at last complete
liet reigned. We continued to keep
atch until daybreak, as we feared
ratagem on the part of the red devils,
s it became lighter we looked out
rough the loop holes. Two of the
dskins lay dead in the yard in front
'the house. After some hesitation I
mtured cautiously down stairs to see
hat had become of our foes. My premtion,
however, proved unnecessary.

JUST 20 YEARS AGO
The wiecox 4 white organ * |
CO., was established in the city of
Meriden, Conn. Then it was a small affair,
as such concerns nsnally are in infancy
; today it is one of the largest Organ
manufacturing companies in the world, \
producing nearly TEN THOUSAND
ORGANS each year. Mr. H. K. White,
the senior member of the firm has been
manufacturing Organs for 4T YEARS,
and Mr. White, being a workman of
the old school, is giving bis personal
supervision to the Wilcox A White factory
it is only reasonable to suppose that every
instrument sent out is perfect in every de- "* ?
tail, even down to the trivial matter of '
making their Organs absolutely "mouse
proof." With the production of the firat
Organ, the Wilcox A White Organ com-.
pany began growing in popularity, and it -f\
as grown and expanded until today the
sweet and powerful strains of the Wilcox
<ft White Organ are heard in every conn- .
try ON THE FACE OF THE GLOBE.
On one single order this company shipped
241 ORGANS TO AUSTRALIA. ?
W. & W'S. GUARANTEE.
Every instrument that this company
turns out is guaranteed for SIX years;
but in view or the fact that before ship- >
ment, every Organ must have the approval
of Mr. H. K. White and his three sons,
who are experts, this guarantee is merely
a form, as the Wilcox A White Organs
are manufactured for a lifetime, not mere- * .
ly for six years' use. If you are thinking
of purchasing an Organ, you will do well
to write to the WILCOX A WHITE ORGAN
CO., Meriden, Conn., or to GEO.

"OLD HICKORY"
WAGONS of today, are to the wagon
product what 'Old Hickory" Jackson
of days gone by was to his patriotic
colleagues?without a peer. "Old
Hickory" Jackson was built right and of
the best material, so we are shown by
history, and it would be a gross violation *
of the principles taught by this great
patriot and statesman, to use dishonest
and inferior material in the construction
of the peerless OLD HICKORY WAGJ
ON. We are satisfied that the manufacturers
of the 'Old Hickory Wagons" are
too honest and patriotic to defame the
great Jackson, for whom they have their
wagons named, by allowing them to go *
on the market unless they are what they
should be?THE BEST CONSTRUCTED
WAGON ON EARTH.
The Whole Jackson Family
Whose names are as follows, can be seen
at our factory in Yorkville :
FOUR HORSE WAGONS,
THREE HORSE WAGONS,
TWO HORSE WAGONS, ^
ONE HORSE WAGONS.
The capacity of these wagons has never

would gradually pile on a load on either of
the above wagons, we venture the assertion
that before the wagon would give
way under the load, the driver's seat
would be "out of sight."
