And here, think l may say, that
you reach the climax of all the trials
you are to go through to become a
western man. You will not be sent
alone into camp with sheep until you
have ''herdedn many months. All
through these ''herding'' months the
life has been getting harder and harder
to bear. One by one all your previous
hopes as to western life have faded
away; all the novelty of your work has
gone; everything that seemed worth
living for has departed from your life.
Your friends calmly say that no man
should expect any pleasure or holiday,
to speak of, for the first two years.
And you see the people around you
leading lives, freer perhaps, but hardly
more comfortable than your own.
And yet now, when things seem at
their worst, when you confess bitterly
to yourself that it is only because you
cannot face the idea of being beaten
that you still persevere-now you ARE
set to this camping tesk harder
than anything you have borne yet.
Camp life alone with flock of sheep to
take care of is, as far as my experience
and that of any one l ever knew out
West goes. the toughest thing of all,
even in that hard life. You have all to
bear that you had before. The same
food, the same hours out withthe sheep,
and in addition, this terrible sense or
loneliness, which, as we have said be-
fore, until you become used to it, nearly
overpowers any stamina that you have
left.
But now if you still determine not to
give in, but to struggle on to the end,
the tide has turned and from this mo-
ment your prospects will steadily inn
prove.
The first indication Of this you will
find in marked change of manner
toward you by the men around You.
This camping is considered crucial
test, and If you bear it uncomplain-
ingly the half-contemptuous, conde-
scending way in which they have hith-
erto treated you changes to . rough,
but hearty and helpful sympathy which
true western men never fail to give to
u man whom they consider has emerged
from the s'tenderfoot" or eastern
man" stage of existence, and is now
one of themselves.
Camp-life gives you something to
look forward to; you appreciate, as you
never did before, the comforts of the
home ranch, the social pipe round
the fire before turning in, and the sup
per, not cooked by yourself. and eaten
in company with the ''boys," who now,
for the first time, listen respectfully to
what you have to say concerning the
state of the sheep, the goodness Of the
grass. etc.
You become hardened even to the
loneliness Of camp, and have the sat
isfaction of knowing that you have gone
through the worst that will be ever
likely to happen to you.
And SO the first twelve months of
Western life come to an end. and II you
have few hundred pounds procurable
either of your own or borrowed at
moderate interest-you will probably
be able to invest it advantageously in
sheep; perhaps run" them with those
Of the man you have hitherto worked
for.-H dcxniflnnss Mn0nxi,ze

q uere Thar Thrice.Told Tale.
One NJ the commonest of the stories

AS to the truth Of the story there is
no doubt. 1t is attested by the expert
ence of hundreds in every city IN tnc
land. 1t is in the nature of things, IN
deed, that it should be true. Men who
engage in business as gamblers, who
deliberately embark in the pursuit or
obtaining the money of other people by
games Of alleged chance, are not at an
likely to trust to chance. So tar as the
business can be made certainty tney
will, naturally, make it SO.
The wonder is that with the naturai
probabilities against success on the
part Of amateur gamesters in strug-
Cling with the professionals and with
the Uniform record of just such failure
and loss as are to be expected, the num-

Most remarkable OF all IS the chlldilke
confidence OF the sucker who chooses
Wall Street as the place and ''stocks
as the method OF parting with his capt.
tai. The credulity demanded OF him VINO
believes the banker at faro takes his
chances with the players is very great.
But it is insignificant compared with
the credulity which looks forward to
realization Of profits in playing against
the game that is dealt in Wall Street.
Yet such credulity is common. 1t is
manifested every day by men who
seem, in respect to all other matters, to
be gifted with ordinary shrewdness and
intelligence.
