n CHANCED IT. While wo were
ever nt Lone Trco the other day , Steve
Watson wanted us to marry him to n
pirl niunett Rarason , who baa bcon liv
ing In the family of Major Uastines ,
\Ve knew wo couldn't do it as editor ,
but wo were not BO certain in our capac
ity as mayor. Wo finally agreed to take
the chances on It if Steve and the girl
would , anil the result was that they
were made one. We used the regular
form followed by clergymen , but put in
n proviso that if Steve ever stopped his
subscription to our paper the marriage
ehould bo considered null and void.
Until wo have time to look up the Isw
in the case wo will marry any and every
couple appearing before us for that ob
ject , charging only one year's cash sub-
ecription to The Kicker. If it transpires
later on that wo had no authority the
ceremony can be gone through with
elsewhere or things left as they stand ,
but the subscription must be considered
n go Please call at the mayor's office
between 2 and 4 in the afternoon.
GAUD OF THANKS. The undersigned
takes tbis method of returning his
heartfelt thanks to the fitly or more
citizens who gathered on Thursday
evening with the intention of pulling
him up to a limb , but who courteously
and patiently listened to his explana
tions and finally decided to give him
one more ihow :
I cstnn to this town under Jalso pretenses ,
as I hereby publicly admit. I claimed to be
a bad man Irom the Bad Lands , and extract
ed to sort o1 run things. I am not a bad man
but only a weak imitation. Instead of bar-
ln < r killed flvo men , as I publicly boasted , I
struck the wrens town , and instead of trying
to play bad man any longer , I am troing to
work. I will put tn ten hours a day at any
ort of labor for $ ! 5 a week , and I trust that I
may in Umo secure the respect ana Rood will
of the eentlemea who sqjfnndly refrained
from pulling1 on the other end of the rope.
My two guns and my bowie knifn are for
ale cheap , as I bavo no further use fortbem.
HANK SCOTT ,
Ex-Bad Alan from the Bad Lands.
TALLY AOART. Recognizing the fact
that this town has done much for Ihe
Kicker , and feeling deeply grateful and
desiring to show our appreciation in a
substantial manner , we have purchased
in the eatt and shall present to the town
a hand fire engine of latest pattern. At
the present date the solo outfit of our
Ore department consists of a step ladder
and an old tin pail , and we are at the
mercy of the devouring element We
are no plarmist , but we must confess
that o.ur slumbers have been nisrhtly
disturbed by visions of red tongued
flames licking their fiendish course up
and down Apache avenue devouring
saloon after saloon , wiping out ono
poker room after another , attacking one
edifice after another , until the haavenb
for miles around were lighted with the
baleful glare of a conflagration full of
disaster to our appalled and helpless
citi/.ens
Our present will bo named after our
paper. We are not as thoroughly
posted as wo hope to be on fire engines ,
but we venture the statement thnt this
ono is full jeweled , return flues , patent
cylinders acd copper bottomed , and that
every citizen of the town will be proud
of it Wo understand that his honor
the mayor ( who is our&elf ) , will soon
issue a call for a public meeting to
organize n fire companv. Wo suggest
that ho be made chief of the fire depart
ment , while wo hereby announce our
readiness to serve as foreman if elected.
Tne encino is expected to arrive in
about four weeks.
IT'S Oun WAY As our contemporary
ha = only -160 circulation and is often
obliged to come out on a half sheet or
t.filcip publication altogether , what
lie says regarding us has
BO opportunity to reach the public.
For this reason , and because we are
kind hearted by nature , we permit him
to use our columns this week as fol
lows , and make no charge whatever :
"We hereby announce to the public , and
have documentor ; evidence to prove our al
legations , that the editor of The Kicker fol
lowed the traffic of body snatching for iubrn
than five years in the state of Ohio , and that
be escaped Irom Jollel while ho had yet two
voars to serve. We further add that we
havu armed ourself to shoot him on sight.
EniroK Bio BONANZA.
As to his changes , they are chestnuts
two years old , nnd will only make people -
plo smile. As to his shooting us , bo has
tried it on five different times and mis
erably failed. Wo will stand up
against a wall nod let him shoot six
times at us from a distance of ton feet ,
and if ho plants ono bullet within twelve
inches of any part of us wo will donate
{ 50 for a local hospital. Ho doesn't be
long' out hero at all. His sphere lies in
peddling popcorn in the effete east.
M. QUAD'S CAT SPECULATION.
As you came up the trail you first
truck "Big Hopes" diggings , which
hod a population of about 300 miners.
r'Two miles farther on you came to "Aunt
Sally Flat , " which had a population of
100 loss Only a mile farther down was
"I-want-to-go-homo" town , tbo popula
tion of which was anywhere between
seventy-five and SCO. Some men who
wanted to go home packed up and lit
out ; others who wanted to go had to
wr.it around for wings to fly with.
Ono day notices were posted up in all
the towns for a public meeting to be held
at "Aunt Sally Flat" on the third day
after. It was announced that a crisis
bad 'arrived , and that able speakers
would be present to discuss it and point
out the remedy. Mining was hard work
and poor pay that season , nnd we wore
ready to welcome even a crisis. There
were plenty of miners who didn't know a
crisis from a climax ; but they were will
ing to loan thn difference , and on "the
date appointed everybody knocked ofi
work , washed bis hands and put in an
appearance. If any one expected to
bear that the time bad come to declare
war against England , march into Mex
ice or demand that Uncle Sam furnish
us fresh butter ho was disappointed.
Colonel Bill Taylor was ono of the
"able speakers" ami be began with the
landing of the pilgrims and scaled down
to "Aunt Sally Flat , " and announced
that we must import 500 cats as soon as
possible or prepare to abandon the
neighborhood. Wo were not only being
overrun by rats nnd mice , but every
man v , a. homesick for the presence of a
cat. If 600 women could be induced to
come out and marry us and make our
homes happy , then get 600 cats. "Wo
men first cats a good second. A gri
malkin ou the hearthstone , after the
toil of tbe day , would remind us of
home , soften up our hearts and make
better men of us. Without the refining
influence of cats none of us could hope to
reach that bolter land. Cats long-
tailed or bobtallod , striped or spotted
but wo must have cats.
lie was followed by Judge Hopkins ,
who acknowledged in a sneaking sort of
way that ho would rather see the old
family cat than his wifa and seven chil
dren. He wanted a cat to hold on his
knee as ho eat and looked into the fire
and called up recollections of days gone
by. He wanted to stroke her fur nnd
hear the p-u-r-r-r-r. which wouH 'jring
up a vision of an idiot sottin// / out from
his farm in Ohio to slash around among
the mountains of the west with a pick
axe and a backache. The judge wept
as ho talked of homo ; ho wept still
harder as he talked of cats. Give him
n cat and he would live on and not care
a cent whether school kept or not The
old oaken bucket , a smoke house , a pig
pen. a barrel of soft soap , any of these
would gladden and cheer and encourage ,
but only temporarily. Ho didn't want
600 women to come out there , as his wife
would be sure to bo ono of the drove ,
but he did want cats , and he wouldn't
be captious about the color.
Other speakers followed in the same
strain , and it wr.s finally voted to con
tribute a purse and send a man east for
cats. No contribute no cats. On their
arrival each cat was to become currency ,
representing S10. Any attempt to dis
count was to be considered the same as
murder in the second degree. As 1 had
a broken arm nnd was laying off , the
choice fell upon mo to go cnst , collect
the cats and lead them into the promised
land. In due time I struck Leaven-
worth. In two days I cleaned that town
up so thoroughly that for six months
afterward the owner of a cat was too
stuck , up to speak to the mayor. Then I
went to Atchison and secured every
thing down to a kitten which had just
got its right eye open. They still insist
that I sot that town back fhe years by
my fiendish expedition. St. Joe was
bed rock. I took 322 cats out of that
town behind a two-mule team , and was
out of range before tbe terror-stricken
people had recovered their presence of
mind. It is firmly believed in St Joe
today that but for mo there would have
been no Chicago or Kansas Citj\ Real
estate had declined " 0 par cent before I
got across the Missouri.
When I finally left Topeka I had 606
cats. There was only ono left in the
state of Kansas , and she was blind in one
030 and dying of old ago. I had two
wagons fitted with cages and had two
tender hearted men employed to help
me care for the cargo. I started with
an emigrant train , but after the first
night out the people threatened my life
and I had to cut loose. The cats were
reasonably quiet during the day. but as
soon as night fell it seemed tis if the
front and back gates of pandemonium
had been swung wide open and a prize
chromo offered. Strong men turned
gray haired that night and next morn
ing three innocent children were buried
in one grave
When near the Colorado line we were
attacked by hostile Indians. They had
been hovering about during the after
noon and as night fell they gathered to
reap the harvest of scalps. There
ee med to be about four hundred of
them , all imbued with a great deal of
entnusiasm , and they had closed in for
business when a Leavenworth tomcat
happened to look cross-eyed from a chap
from St Joe and a row was the cense
quence. In one minute after time was
called COO cats of all ages , sizes and
colors and each with a voice strictly his
own , began singing out. It was a calm ,
still night just the sort of a night to bo
scalped by Indians and the row in the
wugona could bo heard five miles. We
heard the chief calling out to his war
riors not to bo alarmed , and not to desert
their country in her hour of peril , but
he couldn't hold them. They fell over
each other in their haste to get away
and scalp some tenderfoots camped
tweh'e miles to the north of us , and we
were not again molested. The same
Indians afterwards went about the coun
try warning their esteemed contem
poraries that we were "bad medicine"
and would steal tomahawks off a dead
warrior's grave and to have nothing to
do with us. It was a mean piece of
"businf-ss , but you can't expect much good
of an Indian.
Ono fall day we drew near "Big
Hopes' diggings. Everybody in the
three towns dressed up in his best and
came out to welcome the conquering
hero and tbe cats. Every man who had
two shirts tied one of them to a pole for
a flag. Every ono who could yell did so.
Only eleven cata had died of grief en
route , and there was still a cat apiece.
Speeches wore made and a quartet sang ,
'I Want to Be an AngeL" Men who
had never exhibited tbe slightest emo
tion , oven when accidentally struck with
a pickax , now wiped tears from their
eyes. Wo went into town with men
cheering , mules b-aying , flags waving
and cats yowling , and it was unani-
inouslv
Unsolved. That we celebrate the day : that
after the celebration is over tre divide UD the
cats.
cats.Wo
Wo celebrated. There were three
barrels of "celebration" rolled out , and
no ono was excused. Next morning we
crawled out to divide up , but there was
nothing to divide. Some boozy idiot
bnd opened all the cages during the
night , and every cut was gone. Some
we're making for Pike's peak others
were on tboir way to Leavenworth to
renew old ties. We st > ent a week track
ing ono old Tom who was undecided
which route to take , but he gave us toe
dodge and we packed up and abandoned
the country. "We know that luck was
agin us.
GOT LEFT OX UYENA ROAST.
As we drove along over a South Carolina
lina highway we encountered a circus
and menagerie on tbo move , and when
clear of it vro came upon a dozen men
standing around the dead body of a hy
ena. The animal had .died in his cage
und been hauled out on the ground. Ho
was old and faded nnd hia fur rubbed off
in spots , and the circus people decided
that his pelt was not worth taking. The
party was about to move on when up
i ode the proprietor of a country hotel
about four miles further down the road.
"Look t-here gentlemen , " he said
when tbe incident had been explained
to him , "would yo' hev any objections to
my cuUln' off a hind quarter ol that
hyena and takln it uoma ? "
"Of course not : but what can you
want of it ? "
"Wall , Jedge Ridley , of this circuit ,
will be along today and he will utop with
mo fur dinner. The jedge is a mighty
old man. Ho'll ride up to the hosa
block about half post 11 o'clock and sing
out :
" 'Hellol the tavern1 !
" 'WulU jedge , glad to see yo1 , '
" 'Kin I hev dinner1
" 'Ofco'ee. '
" 'Kin I hev roast hyena fur dinner ? '
" 'Yo' kin. Git right down and come
In. I was expecting yo' , and I've got
the nicest piece of hyena yo' over did
put yo'r tooth into in all yo'r bo'n days. '
' "That's what I want a hind quarter
fur , ' continued the landlord , "The
jedge is odd and I want to please him. "
He was told to take the whole body if
he wanted it , but ha contented hiouelf
with a quarter , and was in a ha ppy
frame of mind as ho rode on with u .
Wo were booked to stop at hl place fet
dinner , and wo cot around there jusr
before the judge and his white mule
came into vlow down the dusty road.
All wera anxiously waiting when his
honor rode up at a jog trot , stopped at
the horse block and called out :
" ! ! "
"Hollo the tavern
"Hollo , jodgo ! " replied the landlord ,
as ho stepped out into view.
"Kin I hev dinner yero ? "
"Of ' ' "
co'seyo'kin.
"I'm powerful hungrv. "
"Glad to hear it , jedgo glnd to hoar
it"
"And I'm sorter perticklor about my
catin' . "
"Yes , I know. "
" ' mind made fur
"I've got my up
fur' '
"Reckon yo' hov , jedgo. and yo' won't
bo disappointed , " put in the landlord as
ho grinned and rubbed his hands at
thought of the roast hyena back in th a
kitchen.
"As I was savin' , " continued his honor ,
as he slowly dismounted , " 1'vo had my
mind made up fur some rhinoceros potpie -
pie , and bein' as you'vo got it I guess
I'll stop with yo' while the rnowl takes a
rest"
Wo tried to urguo the landlord Into
the belief that life was worth the living ,
but it couldn't bo done. Ho sat down
nnd beckoned for death to come and
strangle him. M. QUAD.
Whitman on LlncitJn.
Ono of the poems of Walt Whitman that
hat especially ondnard tnru to the American
people Is the ono on the death of Lincoln. It
is not only more rhythmical and musical
than most of his verso , but it ts wrUtcn in
tuch a form as to nppaal to those to whom
the poets usual method Is a mystery. It is as
follows :
O captain I my captain' our fearful trip Is
done ;
The ship has weathered every rack , the
prize wo soucht is won ;
The port Is near , the bells I hear , the posple
all exulting.
While follow ej-es the steady keel , the vessel
prim and danup ;
ButO heart' heart' hoartl
O the bleeding drops of red.
Where on Ine deci : my captain lies ,
Fallen cold and dead.
OCaptnin * my captain I rise up nnd hear tto
bells ;
Rise up forvou the flag is flune for you
the buplo trills ;
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths for
you < he shores a crowding ;
For you they call , toe swaying mass , their
caper Janes turning ;
Here captain' dear father'
This arm beneath your head ;
It is some dream that on the declr ,
You've fallen cold and dead.
My captain docs not answer , his lips are pale
aadstlU ;
My father docs not feel my arm , ho has no
pulse nor will ;
The ship is nnchor'd safe nnd sound , its voy
age closed and done.
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in
with object won.
Exult , O shores , and ring , O bells 1
But 1 , with mournlul tread.
Wain the deck mv captain lies ,
Fallen cold and dead.

The twenty-five or thirty years of freedom

in this country has demonotrated ois sterling
worth and his ability to cope with the white
man In nearly erery profession In the pulpit
and iu Journalism , perhaps more than in any
direction , has ho shown his ability to keep
up with , and in tact almost lead the proces
sion. There are more than 200 colored news
papers published in the United States. The
largest , tbo greatest and most successful one
is the Freeman , published at Indianapolis ,

It is a negrc journal in the broadest sense ,
that its type-setters , artists , editors , and in
fact ail of tne work done on the paper is done
by colored people. Another novel feature of
the paper is that it is illustrated , and each
week is fnll of illustrations showing the
witty and humorous side of negro life , and
eiving the pictuies and sketcnos of repre
sentative colored men and women uho have
won distinction tn the last two decades.
