Kirby Faces Trip.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 18.—The
night it was dark. A small
bunch of men slipped down the
steep bank of the stream. The
gentle chug chug of the steamer
could be scarcely heard. The
careworn travelers spoke in
whispers, too disheartened to en
ter into a general conversation.
The party reached the edge of
the water and a hand was offer
ed the apparent leader to assist
him across the gang plank to the
river craft. He declined it with
a feeble wave of the hand.
“No use Smead,” stated
the individual with the stooped
shoulders, “I can find that plank
in the dark. You can’t fool me, I
can tell by the smell that this is
Salt river, I have made the trip
several times before. I have
been preparing for this trip for
weeks, and this time I guess I
will just stay aboard.”
As the plank was pulled in
there were a few puffs of smoke
from the twin smoke stacks
which lighted the scene an in
stant, and the boat backed off in
to the bracken waters of the
stream.
“Good Bye Bill,” cried the re
maining forms on the bank.
“Goodbye boys,” came a faint
response from the craft as it
buckeled to the task of taking
another disappointed politician
to that haven of political rest—
oblivion.
