From the Arkansaw Traveler. Ex-Congressman Bill Slemmons tells of a pair ot feet that must have been objects of great regard in their day. One day a party of men, including Jackson, the man of big feet, were preparing to attend a political barbecue.

He'll work toa buggy or] plow, but no man can stay on his back.” “I'll try him, pba and the determined man in- structed sev: hegroes to catch the mule and hold bim. The animal plunged and kicked, but finally Jackson secured a seat in the saddle. Every one expected to see him dashed inst io ateeattsid ae, Ty man’: wi away.
