THE COURIER 11 TROOPER JACKSON. "Don't you hear the bugle soundin', Troop er Jackson? Come; shake yourself! There's trouble down aheadl With a lot o' Texas rum they're a-makin' matters hum! She's a-tootin' 'boots an' saddles'! Out o' bed! They're a-yellin' like the devil down the canon! A han'some lot of able-bodied Utes An' the orders is, to rip 'em, An' to slash 'em, an' to nip 'em, So Jump along an' tumble in your boots!" Oh! the ride was wild an' daring' down the bottom! Just sixty men, where ten troops should have been. Not a tremble, not a quiver, as they dashed along the river At the box 'tin' horde of undiluted sin! Like a teamst :r's whip the guidons were a- SU.'.pjV.ll'l My Godl the Indians numbered ten to one. Through the blincfin' rifle flame They kept ridin' just the same, "With "Old Glory" in the van a-leadia' on. Like a catapult they hit 'em in the middle! While the "trader's" powder tore its dirty way, An' the f'amin' sheets o'hell scorched their tunics as they fell, An' their yellow plumes were crimson from the fray. But the orders was to give 'em a "chastisin' " "With sixty men, where ten troops should 'ave been. But they done it just the same! An' they never thought to blame, With the forty dead and dyin' carried in. ""Here's to you, cussin', fightln', Trooper Jackson! Here's to you for the glory that you won! 'Twasa slashin', dashin' ride when you crossed the Great Divide, But you done it as I like to see it done. Your photograph's a-hangin' in the barrack, An' your sabre ornaments the Colonel's hall. When your bugle sounded 'taps,' Then you won your shoulder-straps, An' you'll wear 'em at the final grand 're call.'" Harper's Magazine. ART1ST1G PR1NTINO I Of evory dlscription.

"A misunderstanding as to the mean ing of a word sometimes leads to pecu liar situations," said the Rev. A. L. Smith of Chicago at the Arlington. "In company with several other ministers I was riding in a stage or hack, which served the purpose of a stage, en route to a camp meeting. The road wound among the mountains and the air was delightful, whllo the scenery was al most sublime. I was invigorated as though by a powerful tonic and several times remarked upon the ozone In the air. After one of theee observations the driver stopped the horses, and, beckoning to me slyly, climbed from the seat. Wondering what ho could want I followed him and soon we were behind a large tree, out of view of the wagon. "Parson," said the driver, "I couldn't bear to see you Buffer. The ozone you smelled was In my pocket." With these words he drew forth a large bottle of whisky which he offered to mo. It took several minutes to con vince him that it wtw not whisky I had referred to as ozone." Washing ton Star. NOT AFTER JINNY. This Bottled, ttis TrHvnlnr W Mnd Wftlrntnn. I was riding nlong a country road In the vicinity of Memphis when I came to a newly painted frame house which gave such sh i.ng evidence of prosper ity that it was an attraction to the bar ren landscnpo about It. A long, lean man, stoop-shouldered and ungainly, sat on a post in front of tho splck-and-Bpan doorstep and held an old rltlo across his knees, at the same time that ho peered fro n under his Bhnggy brows In all dlrectl ns, as If ho were In am bush and expected to bo surprised. I wanted several favors at this man's hands if possible, ono of them being supper, another an invigorating draught of moonshine whisky, and iln ally, and the only demand I was certain of a route to Memphis by that particu lar road. "Evening," I said In aB Jocular a tono as I could assume. "Guarding tho new paint?" "Evenin', stranger," ho answered, ns short as pie crust. "Could you tell mo how to reach Memphis tonight?" I asked. "Poller yer nose!" "Then I am on the right road?" "Git!" He leveled the rifle nt me, and my horse shied nt tho sudden movement. At tho same time I heard a cackling laugh through the half-open door. I was disconcerted, but hardly alarmed, as It was evident that tho man wns nothing worse than a crank, so I ar"uned an air of injured Inno cence and nsked: "Do you take me for a sheriff or u revenue officer, because I am neither one nor the other?" "No, young feller, I take you for ono of them silly gentry as want ter come courtln' my gal Jinny, since they heard tell that her mother's step-uncle, Job Morrill, left her a hundred dollars in his will!" At this moment the door opened wido and the homeliest girl I ever saw in my life filled tho space with her ample circumference. She smiled at me so sweetly that I felt It imperative to has ten on my Journey, or let the old man shoot me on the spot. "Pop, you needn't be afeard of that un; he's sassy enough ter look out fer hlssolf," she chirped. "So be, mister, ef Jinny favors yer, and ct ain't her money you bo arter, come rite in and take suthln." Again my intelligent horse shied, and, before I could control him I was half way to Memphis, and out of reach of the old man's rifle and the Inhospit able imputation of wanting "Jinny's" money.

Suppose that a farmer raises 1,000 bushels of wheat a year, and also sells this to 1,000 persons in all parts of the country, a great portion of them saying, "I will hand you a dollar in a short time," The farmer doos not want to be small, and says, "all right!" Soon the 1,000 bushels are gone, and he-has noth ing to show for it, and he then realizes that he has fooled away his whole crop and its value is due in a thousand little driblets, consequently he is seriously embarrased in business because his debtors each owing him one dollar, treat it as a small matter, and think it would not help much. Continue this kind of a business year in and year out, as the publisher does, how long will ho stand it? A moment's thought will con vince anyone that an editor has causo for presietent dunning.
