BIO JACK SMALL.
The following story was published
several year since, nevertheless we
believe there are many of our readers
who never read it. We submit the
story for your judgment, hoping that
you may laugh and wonder, as many
others have, when reading the quaint
speculations of Big Jack.
CHAPTER VI.
Mr. Sighal marched afoot, paus
ing to pick up a peculiar pebble and
carry it awhile, then to find a peb
ble more peculiar, and drop the first
to take the recond; now to hunker
down and study the spikes upon a
sleeping horned toad, to pluck some
flower so tiny 6mall that it seemed
but a speck among the pulpy dry
gravel and loose earth; now turning
face-about to take in the rugged
outline of the mountain under
whose shadow he had passed the
the night, and then lower his vision
to note the saucy swaggering strut
of that black "prospector," the
raven, walking down the road in the
distant track of the wagons, not
failing at the time to watch the
the lizards flash across his path; now
again trudging along, like Bunyan 's
"Christian," with eyes surveying the
to him unknown land in front
the Delectable Mountains, where ac
cording to Mr. Small, he might see
some "bully float quartz." To him
the sameness of tha land was a new
ness: no green and gold of leaves
that grow and leaves that die, no
babbling streams through valleys
grown with grass, no heaving fields
with squares of "thine and mine;"
but one wide waste of ashen gray,
one cloudless sun, one wagon-road
across the scene, and mountains all
about.
Thus the time passed. Driving
all day in the Lot tun, with unhitch
ing, cooking, eating, talking, pray
ing, cooking, eating, and rehitching
during the cool evening and morn
ing, and sweetly sleeping through
the night. Dustily across valley
after valley; slowly up this side
noisily down the other side of
mountain after mountain, Mr. Small
pausing on the summit of each to
point out to the parson the promin
ent peaks as they appeared plainly
to the eye in a range of one hundred
miles showing, here and there, far
away, their huge sides, where man,
with all
his might ana genius, is
boring
mere gimlet-holes, form
which to draw the bright wealth
that makes the yellow glitter in the
city's halls.
In the long slow journey, Mr.
Sighal sought, by easy lessons, to
draw round the consciousness of Big
Jack Small the subtile and intricate
simplicity of his own faith in a per
sonal God with feelings of human
ity and feeling for humanity, yet
powerful to the utmost limit of all
the mighty magnitudes of power.
All of which Mr. Small refused to
see, and stoutly clung to his own
crude materialism, overshadowed by
a wide Gothic spirituality, born per
haps of the tribal tinge in the blood
which gave him his fair skin, high
bridged nose, bold gray eye, end
long tawny beard. It was again the
old subtilities born of a southern sun
endeavoring to bring the wild Norse
blood upon its knees at the foot of a
Roman crocs.
The conversion of the Indian,
which was Mr. Small's special desire,
did not proceed satisfactorily. It is
comparatively easy, I opine, to build
religion upon civilizatiou; but the
labor must be thorough and the
effort exhaustive where there is only
love of food, of passion, and of ex
istence to start on. Yet the Indian
was not without curiosity, nor, be
ing a better specimen of his race,
was he totally without the spirit of
inquiry into unsubstantial things.
On several occasions during the trip
he sought to discover the object of
prayer.
Uh, Jack," queried he, "what
for modi sum-man ho would call
the parson a medicine-maa "what
for modisum-man all 'er time little
stand-up, shut am eye, heap up talk!
Injin no sabe."
Thar now, Parson," said Mr.
Smal, "this Injin wants to know
why yer kneel down, shet yereyes,
an' talk up at the sky. He says he
don't understand it". . ' i
"I wish that I possessed a know-
ledge of his language, and could be
the means, under God, of opening
to him and his people the way to
life everlasting.
"Well, Parson, yere's a big game
feryer to play. Thar's hundreds o' his
kind in these mountains, an' their
lingo haint hard to learn, an' they
haint hard to teach about religion.
Anyhow they learn to swear ancuss,
an' nobody kin do that till he's been
among people of a Christian coun
try!" "Mr. Small," answered the Parson,
who, now that he was growing
stronger in body, was "more aggres
sive in mind, "there is. a sneering
levity in your manner when you
speak of serious things which pains
me to hear."
"Excuse me, Parson. That's only
my style, an' style haint nothin' in
this country. The p'int is how we're
goin' to git light into this Injin
that's the p'int."
"I grieve to say, Mr. Small, that I
am as yet utterly unable to converse
with him in the broken jargon of
English which he seems to compre
hend when you speak to him."
"All right, then. Come yere, In
jin. 1 11 try my hand on him. My
mother allers wanted me to be a
preacher an' help convert the heath
en.
The Indian came up smiling.
"Yer sabe little-stand-upí"
"Yash, heap sabe too much."
HVor ealiA Vionn tnllr-nnV
M.. l' "f
"Yash. Heap sabe modisum-man."
"Now, Injin, me talk Big Jack
talk."
"Bueno" (good).
"When bueno man heap little-
stand-up, heap talk-up aller time,
by um by, long time, he heap old
man, heap die. Yer sabe?"
"Yash; heap sabe die. Aller same
Injin yakwe."
"Yes, by um by, die," repeated Mr.
Small, scratching his head through
a pause, in his doubt how to pro
ceed. "Then, pretty soon, by um
by, after while, bueno man go up
up', pointing to the sky "way,
way up yonder, an' no come back."
"No come back!" echoed the In
dian, apparently deeply interested
in the revelation.
"No; no come back."
"Where he goT rso ketch um
wick-i-np?"
"Yes; fine house bueno wick-i-
P,"
"Heap work?"
"No; no work."
"Bueno! approved the Indian.
Me no like um work." .
"No: no work. Heap sing all
time sing."
"Aller time sing?" repeated Gov.
"Yes; all time sing, in one big
wick-i-up. No coat ketch um; no
pantaloons."
"No pantaroons?"
"No; no pantaloons. One big
gown all same shirt. All time sing;
no come night. Yer sabe?"
"Yash; mo heap sabe. Heap tic
cup?" (food) earnestly interrogated
the Indian.
"No; no ticcup."
"Heap squaw?"
"No; no squaws."
"What yer call um?"
"Heaven."
"Que-bueno hebben no good
No pantaroons, no ticcup, no squaw
que-bueno hebben! Me no like
um."
Notwithstanding the solemnity of
the subject, the Reverend Mr. Sigh
al found himself shaking with re
strained laughter at Mr. Small's first
missionary effort among the - Sho
shonees. "Thar," said Mr. Small, with great
emphasis, "as a missionary I'm a
failure. Gov, go git some brush fer
' the fire. But I'll not give that In
jin up! I'll go fer him agin when I
haint got nothin' else to do," added
he, going about his usual camp
work. Mr. Sighal took a walk around the
camp, apparently giving the whole
matter - up as being beyond his
present influence.
The camp to which Big Jack
Small's freight was consigned was a
new one, and, of course, the last days
of the trip led the team over newly
broken roads, which fact increased
the labor of Mr.' Small, and gave to
his face and language a somewhat
serious expression. ' During the last
day's drivo before coming to camp,
the road was particularly uneven,
and on the down-grade caused the
long high wagon-boxes to reel to
and fro like boats at sea. Often the
wagons, despite the strong friction
of the howling brakes, pressed upon
the cattle and crowded them upon
each other en masse. Then again the
hindmost wagon, ia making a turn,
encroached so far upon the inner
sido of the circle that the brake
must be let up to avoid sliding
farther and overtuning, as a rolling
wheel slides les3 than a wheel which
is locked.
On ojsa of these sideling turns, on
tho brink of a shallow dry-wash, Mr.
Small was compelled to stop his
team to prevent the overthrow of
the rear wagon. As he proceeded
to release tho brake, which on this
particular wagon had its lever low
down and between the forward and
hind wheel, the wheels, from the
slight move they made after being
released, settled the wagon just a
little, but far enough in its nearly
poised position to turn it over sud
denly, before Mr. Small could fly for
safety.
Which Jesus?
We little realize how much has
been lost to history concerning
those momentous events which the
Jerusalem Evening Journal is now
chronicling. The evidence in the
Gospel according to John, concern
ing these losses, we referred to in an
editorial last Wedensday. Since
the journals were commenced a new
fact has been discovered in the recently-found
Syriac text from Mount
' Sinai.
It appears that the robber
whom the governor offered to re
lease instead of Christ and who is
named Barabbcs in our Bibles was
also named Jesus, which was a
common name in Palestine. This
coincidence of nmes a modern
journalist would not fail to note, for
it gives a striking antithetic force to
the question.of Pilate, "Which Jesus
do you wish me to release, Jesus
Bar-Abbas or the Jesus that is call
ed Christ?"
This was probably made clear in
the first drafts of the Gospels, and
and was the reasons for the digres
sion necessary to introduce Barabbas
into the narrative of the trial. Tho
application of the hallowed name of
Jesus to a rioter and a murderer
doubtless jarred on many ears, and
for this reason some copyist finally
left out the name but permitted the
digression shorn of its point to re
main. Los Angeles Times.

This is to certify that on May 11th,
I walked to Melick's drug store on a

of Chamberlain's Pain Balm for
inflammatory rheumat ism which had
crippled me up. After using threo
bottles I am completely cured. I
can cheerfully recommend it.

H. L. Stoddard, writting from
Louisville, Ky., to the New York
Mail and Express, says; "I asked
Mayor Todd today what had oc
curred to rouse the people here so
for McKinley. 'I presume my case
is like others,' said he; 'I know from
practical experience the difference
to a business man between trying, to
get along under the McKinley tariff
and tho Wilson tariff. McKinley
seems to me to embody the Ameri
can idea of protection better than
any of the other candidates. Out of
thousands of letters received we are
informed that not only republicans
but democrats as well, want Mc
Kinley, and that, too, in sections of
our state that heretofore have been
solidly for free trade. The people
are everywhere calling for protec
tion. That's why they want Mc
Kinley.'"

Spain, has informed his government
that if it will arm his 12,000 Calolo-
mans with Mansur rifles and land
them in the Uuited States,he -will
soon overrun and subjugate the
country. This is a caso where ignore

EARLY TIMES ON WABASH.
The Venerable John B. Gunn Gives
Some Flatboating Reminiscence.
But few people in theso days of
plenty and luxury have any correct
idea of how people lived in the early
days of this section of country.
Corn bread, pork, venison and other
game was our only living. Wheat
bread was only known aboiit Christ
mas time, when some one of our
most favored neighbors would send
to the city and get a small quantity
of flour for pies and cakes for the
Holidays. Our clothing home-spun
jeans, flanael, linaea and linsey
was raised, carded, spun and woven
at home and none but the wealthiest
were ever seen wearing store clothes,
and they only on Sundays. Money
was very scarce. What there was,
was silver and paper, mostly what
was called "sjiin plasters." But
little state bank money circulated
in the country, and gold was seldom
seen. Our change was picayunes
(GJ cents), bits (12J cents) quarters,
halvc'3 and dollars. When dimes
and five cent pieces were first issued
by the government and circulated
they were a curiosity and for a long
time were sought by many for keep
sakes. Now picayunes and bits are
out of existence.
Farming was on a small scale and
nearly all produce raised was con
sumed at homo except such as could
be transported easily in wagons to
the Wabash or Ohio rivers.
In 1835 my father opened a small
store at Round Prairie, Wabash
county, tho place now called Lan
caster. In that store he kept, or
tried to keep, ever3thing the farmer
needed dry goods, groceries, hard
ware, queeusware, boots, shoes, hats,
caps,- drugs, medicines, books, sta
tionery, salt, nails, iron, tar, whisky,
and other liquors.' Nearly every
body used whisky in those days and,
strange to say, there was compara
tively little drunkenness. He took
in payment for such accounts veni
son, deer skins, coon skins, honey,
beef hides, beeswax, tallow, feathers,
flax seed, rags, white beans, ginseng,
jeans, linsy, flannel, flax, linen, dried
fruits and what little money could
be raised.
In 1837 the farmers began to raise
more corn, and there being no home
market for it he conceived the idea
of running flatboats out of Bod pas
creek, which was five miles west of j
his store, and in the summer of that j
year he gathered together a lot of
men and went to work cleaning out
that creek, cutting away the leaning
trees and brash, cutting and burn
ing the drifts and dragging out tho
logs until they had cleaned the
creek from Higgin's Mill to Grays
ville, about seventy miles by water.
He then cut timber and sawed lum
ber with a whip-saw and built a flat-
boat eighteen feet wide and sixty
feet long, which would iold about
3,000 bushels of corn in the ear
also built corn cribs on the bank of
the creek in which to store tho corn.
Having his boat ready, a dam was
built sufficient to keep the bo;
afloat, the corn loaded into the boat
and she made ready to start at a
moment's notice, and in the spring
when the flood came they started
and went out in safety and run her
to New Orleans.
With this success to encourage
him, the next year he built three
boats and a packing 'house at the
boat yard, bought hogs, cured the
meat and loaded two boats with
corn and one with pork and was
again successful. The business was
continued and increased and sc
seasons we took out as many as six
or 6ieht boats, none of them less
than sixty feet long and some as
long as eighty feet.
My first trip was made in the
spring of 1830, and from that time
until 1852 I made the trip every
spring, taking south pork, corn, oats,
venison, hams, dried fruit, white
beans, poultry, eggs, apple butter,
honey, etc. In the spring of 1844
my father bought a boat already
loaded with 2,500 bushels of corn on
the Wabash river, near Russelville.
The man had never been down the
river and was fearful and became
discouraged. He came to my father
and offered him the corn at tea
cents per bushel and uo charge for
the boat. Father sent me io mn
the boat down. I took three men
and started, but arriving at tho
rapids above Mt. Carmel found the
water too low to get over, so tied up
my boat at the mouth of Coon
creek, discharged the men and wait
ed, for a raise in the river. I was
well provided with provisious, had
my dog, gun and violin, and spent
nearly six weeks there keeping the
boat in order, hunting, fiishing,
cooking and eating along with my
dog, except for an occasional visitor
who always arrived to partake of
dinner with me, and of cours I had
a good timo. Finally the water
came and I run safely to New
Orleans, and doubled tha .money.
The business of flatboatiiig out of
Bonpas increased until it became
quite common for farmers and others
to build boats and run their produce
south, and I have known of as many
as twenty-fivo boats to be run out of
Bonpas in one season.
The success in Bonpas encouraged
the thought of running out of Fox
river, and William Newell and A.
Darling were the pioneers on that
raging river. I think it was they
who built two boats and went out
successfully.
In the spring of 1852 I took out
the last boat that was taken out of the
Fox. She was eighty feet long and
held tho produet of nearly 3,003
hogs, I had some trouble and a
great deal of fun and went safely to
New Orleans and returned homo in
about six weeks with a profit of
S9,000. This was the last trip out
of Fox, but we continued the busi
ness in Bospas and were always suc
sessful in getting out of that stream
until the spring of 1854. We had
five boats loaded with corn and oats
and two with pork. A flood came
in February and we run the corn out
safely, but the pork was not ready
and lato in March another flood
came and wo started-with the pork
boats. It turned freezing cold, the
water began to fall nnd we got only
