Tlie Hear Guard I nder Arreat.
Last night a man was making a great
outcry on Fifth street, near Vine, when
policeman approached him and warned
him livbe quiet and move on, or he would
lock bim up.
"Can't lock me up," said the noijy fel
low. "Who are you, anyhow? Inquired tbe
ofaevr."
"Ever bear or the Big Horn expedition!"
"Yes; I've beard ol it."
."Well that's me; I'm on It. The head ol
the expedition is at Cheyenne; I am the
tail. Can't move on until tbe bead moves.
Although I fetch up tbo rear, I am of as
much consequence as any of 'em."
"Wiiut sort of an arrangeuimt is this
Big Horn expedition you speak of?" in
quired the ofScer, somewhat amused with
the man.
"You a policeman and don't know what
a big born is? This expedition,, sir, will
comprise men who take big boms, selected
fiom all parts of the country. Disgusted
with the mercenary spirit ot Saloon-keepers
who discourage bflg horns, and temperance
societies that oppose bonis of nil dimensions,
we are going to set up a colony of our own
in Wyoming, where every in 11:1 will be per

out of the little end of tbe horn,) and Ilev.

takes hit bis bora with milk in it. Won't
our lions be exalted though!"
"You seem to b.' pretty well Cxed for a
start," put in tho policeman.
"O, yes, sir. I've been taking big horns
ever since I joined.'
"Picked up any recruits in Cincinnati!"
"Tried sever.l, but toey won't do. Why,
bless you, sir, the drinkiug meu iu Cincin
nati dou't take enough lo keep nil elephant
alive. An elephant would die cu wb.it lit
tle they drink."
"When do yon start?" .
"When tbo big horn blows. Tbe expedi
tion bo3 been delayed waiting for a large
delegation who ure In training for it, but
who ure uot quiet ready. Theyire increas
ing tLe siz.1 of their horns dully, un.l If iliey
can esbipo delirium tremens they will bo 011
band soon. Everybody ciri't stand tbe
necceesuty traluing, whick is very severe.-'
"What is tho the standard of aboiu quali
fying a raun to j iin the expedition?"
"Six Singers. We let Smythe in on five,
being a clergyman. We mke a reduction
in r.tvor or the clergy, but none lor the
