To the music of rustling leaves kicked by my feet, for ’twas autumn, I marked at the foot of a tree the grave of a soldier. Montelly wounded he, and buried on the re treat (easily all could I understand),. The halt of a midday hour, when up! no time to lose, yet this sign left, tablet scrawled and nailed on the tree by On a tablet the grave. Bold, cautious, true, and my loving comrade. Long, long I muse, then on my way go wan dering, Many a changeful season to follow, and many a scene of life, Yet at times through changeful season and scene, abrupt, alone, or in the crowded street. Comes before me the unknown comes the inscription rud^ woods. Bold, cautious, true, and my loving comrade. —Walt Whitman. “7-BAE-K.” “Yes,” said the old cattleman as he mimohed a meditative clove, “ there ain’t much paw an bellow, head down an tail up business to a cowboy. Speak- in general an not allowin for them in- fiooences which disturbs none, he’si as passive as a fried fish. “ About 16 years ago, before I abides inWolfyille, I was pesterin round Vegas with Bill Lockbridge, who was workin a small bunch of ‘7-bar-k’ cattle way over on the Vermejo. We’d been slashin round the plaza all day, findin fault with the whisky an amoosin ourselves at our own expense, an along about 5 o’clock in the evenin Bill allows he’s some sick of sech revels an concloods he’ll pint up among the dobeys explorin of Oldtown a lot. So we all goes in con cert. I wasn’t frothin at the mouth none to go myself, not seein no relaxa tion pokin about permiscus among a passel of Mexicans, an mo loathini of ’em nacheral, but I goes, aimin to sorter ride herd on Bill, which his dispisition is some free an various an liable to mix him into trouble. Not that Bill is bad •none whatever—^but bein seven or eight drinks ahead of that plaza whisljy makes him feel gregar’ous an friendly, an he’s cap’ble of goin about a-claimin of acquaintance with people he don’t know at all an feelin way hostile when the stranger has symptoms of doubt. “ So I goes along. Bill a-warblin ‘The Dyin Ranger’ in several keys. “ The seuoras an senoritas a-hearin of the row would look out an smile, an Bill would wave his big hat an whoop from rapture. If he starts toward ’em, aimin for a powwow—which he does frequent, bein a mighty amiable man that away—they gives a squawk imme diate an shets the door. Well, Bill goes on then. Maybe he gives the door a kick or two, informin ’em of his discontent, bnt that’s all. All at once, while we’re prowlin up one of them spacious alleys a Mexican thinks is a street, he comes up on a I-talian with an organ which he is grindin. This yere organ ain’t so bad, an I ’ve heerd a heap worse strains. As soon as Bill sees him he tries to figger on a dance, but no. one’ll dance with him. “ ‘In which event,’ says Lockridge, *I plays a lone hand. ’ “ So Bill puts up a small dance, like a Navajo, accompanin of hims’f with ■whoops. But the dago can’t play Bill’s mnsic, so the baile comes to a halt. “ ‘Whatever is the matter with this yere tune box anyhow?’ says BilL ‘Gimme the music for a green corn dance an don’t make no delay. ’ “ ‘This yere man can’t play no green com dance, ’ I says. “ ‘He can’t, can’t he?’ says Bill mighty scornful. ‘Wait till he tries. I know this man of yore. I meets him two years ago in Druce’s, an me an him has quite a time. ’ “ ‘Whatever is his name, then?’ I asks. “ ‘Antonio Marino, ’ says the dago. “ ‘Marino,’ says Bill, ‘that’s right, I recalls i t becanse i t makes me think fust he’s a sheep man, an I gets qnite hos tile.* “ *I never see yon, ’ says the dago. ** ‘Yes, you did,’ says BilL ‘Yon j;est thinlr you didn’t see me. Wehas drinks together an goes out an shoots up the town arm an arm like brothers. ’ ^‘Bnt the I-talian insists he never sees BilL This makes Bill ugly a lot, an be fore I can get to stop it he outs with his six shooter an puts a hole into'tbe organ. \ ‘These yere tunes JC hears so far,’ says Bill, ‘is a heap too frivolous, an I figgers this oughter improve ’em. ’ “ When Bill shoots, the I-talian man heaves the strap as holds him to the organ over his head an flies. Bill ketches the music box, keepin it from fallin, an after awhile begins tumin the crank: to try it. It plays all right, only ever’ now an then there’s a hole into the melody like it had lost a tooth. “ ‘Thisyere’s good enough fora dog,’ Bays Bill, a-twistin away on the organ. ‘V^ere’s Merino? Whatever is the mat ter with him? Why didn’t he stand his Iwnd?’ “ But Merino ain’t here no more, so Bill allows i t ’s a shame to let it go that way, an Mexicans suffered for music. So he straps on the tune box and goes round from one doby to another a-turnin of it loose. “ ‘How long did this yere Merino turn out his tunes, ^ says Bill, ‘before he collects? However, I makes new rools for the game right yere. I plays these cadences for five minutes an then I gits action on ’em for five. I ^ l it s even with these Mexicans, which is shorely fair. ’ “ So Bill twists away for five min utes, an me a-timin of him, an then leans the herwgag ap agin a doby an starts to collectin. He’d go up to some household a-whii'lin his gun like a pin wheel, and at the mere sight of him the members gets that generous they even attempts to negotiate loans an give ’enj to Bill, they’re that ambitious to do nate. “ Ope time he runs up on a band of toweriats, who wus sorter trackin round at thmgsj to thcy comesup an ITwtenH awMle. They was tum in to go awagr jest before collectin time. “ ‘Bold on,’ says BilL^icM n up his colt offen the top of the oi^n-; *I’ve seed people turn that Jack in church, but yon bet you can’t jump nO game of' mine that way. So jest you all line up agin the wall until I tucks the blankets in on this yere outbreak in P flat I ’m workin on, an I ’ll be with you!’ “ So when Bill winds up he goes along the line of them tremblin tower- ists an collects $11. “ ‘They was aimin to git away with all them nocturnes an ’peggios an arias, an not say nothin,’ says Bill, ‘but they can come no twist like that, an me a ridin herd. None whatever 1’ ‘Bill carries on thisaway for three hours, an what on splits an what on bets he win he’s over $100 ahead. But at last he’s tired an allows he’ll quit an call it a day. So he lugs the old tom tom down to Franklin’s office. Frank lin is marshal, an Bill turns over the organ an the money an tells Franklin to hunt np Merino an give him the whole shootin match. ‘ ‘Where is this yere dago?’ says Frapklin. “ ‘However do I,know?’ says BilL ‘Last I sees him he was a-goin up the calle like a jack rabbit. ’ “ Just then Merino comes in view feelin some pensive an tearful about that bullet in his organ, but when he gets Bill’s donation his feelin’s com mences to rise a lot. In fact, he begins to regard it as quite a scheme. “ ‘But you’ll have to round up to the alcalde, Bill,’ says Franklin. ‘I ain’t shore none you ain’t been breakin some law.’ “ Bill grumbles an allows Vegas is getting a heap too reserved for him. “ ‘It’s gettin so,’ says Bill, ‘a free American citizen don’t get no enconr- agement. Here I puts in half a day amassin wealth for a dago as is sittin in bad luck, an elevatin Mexicans \\yho shorely needs it, an yere I am layed for by the marshal like a felon. ’ “ Well, we all goes over to Steele’s. Franklin an Bill an old Steele, the al calde, goes pokin about to see whatever crimeS'BiH’s done anyhow. They gits hy the capturin the organ an shootin in to its bowels, an standin up the tower- ists didn’t worry ’em none, but the question of the music itse’f sticks ’em. “ ‘I ’m shorely sorry to say it, Bill,* says Steeie, 'hut you’ve been a-busin of a ord’nance about playin music on the streets without no license. ’ “ ‘Can’t \you beat the game no way?’ says BilL “ ‘I shorely don’t see how, ’ says Steele. “ ‘Mi tamblen,’ says Franklin. “ ‘Whatever is the matter with tackin them tunes on ter Merino’s license?’ says BilL “ ‘Can’t do it nohow,’ says Steele. “ ‘Well, is this yere ord’nance accord- in to Hoyle an the Declaration of Inde pendence?’ says BilL ‘I don’t stand it none onless. ’ “ ‘Shore,’ says Steele. “ ‘Turn your cards, then,’ says BilL ‘I ’m a lawabidin citizen, an all I wants is a squar deal from the warm deck. ’ “ So they fines Bill $50 for playin an organ on the streets without license, an he pays it an goes away peaceful. ’ ’—^A. H. Lewis in Chicago Tribune: If Constantinople Falls. What the two powers, Germany and Austria, would do in some future Rus sian advance toward Constantinople re mains to be seen. As long as they are not occupied with serious business of their own they will be at liberty to watch the movements of their giant r i val. But let war break out between Ger many and France, and the situation will be changed at once. How easy it will be then for Russia to claim the object of her ambition as a reward for support to Germany or even in return for a be nevolent neutrality! A precedent for such a course is to be foxmd in her in forming the powers assembled in Lon don in 1871 that she considered herself no longer bound by the article in the treaty of Paris which required the neu tralization of the Black sea. What Rus sia would do with her prize when she had secured it is a speculation into which there is little need to enter. That con sideration does not trouble the minds of those who cast longing eyes upon the glories of the Golden Horn. Russia will not he deterred from seek ing possession of Constantinople by fears- o f. criticism without or complica tions within her borders.' For the one she will still have her diplomacy and for the other her divine mission. If, as the mistress of Constantinople, she com manded the mouths of the Danube, she might soothe Germany and Austria with a promise of a strict neutrality in those waters. If “ Moscow would be jealous of the new Byzantium and Byzantium would hate Moscow” the same tactics that reconciled Moscow to St. Peters burg would reconcile both to the new metropolis at Constantinople. —^Fort nightly Review. Old Leather Breeches. Old Leather Breeches was at one time the best known guide and trapper in Pike county. Pa. He lived in the woods not many miles from Milford, the coun ty seat. His proper naiae no one knew, but on account of the leather trousers which he invariably wore he was known by every one as Old Leather Breeches. Only occasional visits were made by the old man to town, and then he came for tobacco and whisky. One Sunday morning he walked into town and upon arriving at his favorite trading place was snprrised to see it closed. “ Hello,” said he, “ somebody dead, I guess. ” Proceeding leisurely down the main street, he went to another store, only to find this closed also. Completely non plused, the trapper hailed the first pass erby with: “ Say, who is dead? Must he some big gun, I guess. Where is the fu neral?” “ Why, this is Snnday, old man,” re plied the villager. “ Sunday!
