LITTLE BREECHES.
Secretary Hay's most famous poem.
I don't go much on religion,
I never ain't had no show;
But I've got a raiddlin* tight grip, sir,
On the handful o' things I know.
I don't pan out on the prophets, '
And freewill and that sort of thing,
But I believe in God and the angels,
Ever sence one night last spring.
I come iuto town with some turnips,
And my little Gabe come along—
No four-year-old in the county
Could heat him for pretty and strong,
Peart and chipper and sassy,
Always ready to swear and fight—
And I'd larnt him to chew terbacker,
Jest to keep his milk teeth white.
The snow came down like a blanket
As I passed by Taggart's store;
I went in for a jug of molasses
And left the team at the door.
They scared at something and started—
I heard one little squall,
And hell-to-split over the prairie
Went team. Little Breeches and all.
Hell-to-split over the prairie! ~-
I was almost froze with skeer;
But we rousted up some torches.
And searched for 'em far and near.
At last we struck hosses and wagon,
Snowed under a soft white mound,
Upsot, dead beat—but of little Gabe
No hide nor hair was found.
And here all hope soured on me,
Of my fellow-critters' aid—
I jest flopped down on my marrow bones,
Crotch deep in the snow, and prayed.
By this the torches was played out,
And me and Isrul Parr
\\ ent off for some wood to a sheepfold
That he said was somewhar thar.
We found it at last, and a little shed
Where they shut up the lambs at night.
We looked in, and seen them huddled thar,
So warm and sleepy and white.
And thar sat Little Breeches and chirped,
As peart a9 ever you see,
*1 want a chaw of terbacker,
And that s what the matter with me."
How did he get thar.'' Angels.
He could never have walked in that storm.
They jest scooped down and toted him
To whar it was safe and warm.
And I think tlint saving a little child,
And bringing him to his own,
Is a denied sight better business
Than loafing around the throne.

A recent interview with Secre-
tary Hitchcock is printed as
follows:
'"When asked what he thought
of the attitude which Governor
Johnston of the Chickasaw nation
has assumed regarding the distri-
bution of Choctaw-Chiekasa\r na-
tion i .U uts, the secretary said he
had uothiag to say. Governor
Johnston is quoted in press dis-
patches as having said that he
would be bound by no agreement
made by Chief McCurtain's son,
who was here a week or ten days
ago and fixed up matters with the
secretary, so far as regards his fath-
er, the chief of the Choctaws.
Johnston said that McCurtain
did not represent him and that he
had no knowledge of an agreement
but that he would he glad to confer
with the secretary or any represen-
tative the latter desired to desig-
nate reganlingfthe matter.
While the secretary would make
no statement for publication, it
was intimated that there might be
aorne more iudictmenta in Indian
Territory if resistance of the gov-
ernment authorities continued.
I Governor Johnston is already un-
der indictment with others for al-
leged school warrant frauds."
It must be perfectly lovely for a
gentleman of a truculent turn of
mind to lie fixed bo he can have
people indicted when they have
the temerity to disagree with him.
