So much amusing talk is being made re-
Gently anent the lood-bedraggled cowboy
Of the wild west that rise as one man TO
say few things, not in dictatorial style,
but regarding this so- called or 50 esteemed
dry land pirate who, mounted on little
cow-pony end under the black flag, sails out
across the green surge OF the plains to scat
ter the rocky shores Of Time with his fell
iow-man.
A great many people wonder where the
cowboy with his abnormal thirst for blood,
originated. Where did this young Jesse
James. wi. b his CORY record and his daunt-
less eye, come 'FRONT.' Was he born in q
buffalo wallow at the foot of some rock
ribbed mountain, or did he first breathe the
thin air along the brink of an alkan pond,
where the horned toad and the centipede
sang him to sleep. and the tarantuia tickled
him under the chin with its hairy legsl
Careful research and cold. hard statistics
show that the cowboy, as a general thing,
was born In an transformations manner on

The Michigan Man Who Asked No Favors
of the Legislature.

The Michigan Man Who Asked No Favors
of the Legislature.
Some twelve or fourteen years ago a
queerly- dressed, eccentric-acting indi-
vidual appeared at Lansing during the
session of the Legislature and asked
various members to introduce bill to
enable him to build o dam on Wolf
River, somewhere in the northern
counties. The matter was allowed to
go by default, and at the next session
the old man showed up again. This
time bill was introduced, but before
it came up he got tired and went home.
When third session opened he
was on hand, but only to be tired out
again by delays. Last fall a Detroiter,
who was member of the House and
remembered the case, met the old man
up the lake shore and said to him:
Il shall go to the Legislature again,
this year, and YOU come to me with
your bill and I'll push it for you. -
Thank ye, but it's no use, replied
the old man.
Don't you want the damp
.'Fact is. | built the dam before
asked permission of the law
well, you'd better have things in
legal shape"
mo use. Durin' the first session the
dam went with freshet. During the.
second, the mill went on a mortgage
During the third, Wolf River dried up
until it wouldn't turn pin-wheel, and
| want the Legislature of Michigan to
understand that I'm free born Ameri-
can citizen and ask no favors of any
body !"-DetroI Free Press.

THE ICE CREAM AGRIcULTURIsT WITH THE
AXE HANDLE.
After he had yelled s.murderr' three or
four times, he fell under an ice cream table,
and the mild eyed Scandinavian broke a
silver-plated castor over the organ of self
esteem, and poured red pepper and salt and
vinegar and Halford sauce and other relishes
on the place where the scalp was loose
This revived the brave but murderous
cow-gentleman, and be begged that he might
be allowed to go away.

THE BLOOD BEDRAGGLED COWBOY.
One night, while had rooms in the busi-
ness part of territorial city in the Rocky
Mountain cattle country, I was awakened
at about l o'clock A. NJ by the most blood
curdling cry of murder ever heard. It
was murder with big "Mn Across the
street, in the bright light of restaurant,
dozen cowboys with broad sombreros and
flashing silver braid, huge leather chaper-
ajas, Mexican spurs and orange silk neck
ties, with fl 1shing revolvers, were standing. It
seemed That big red-faced Capt Kidd of
the band, with his skin full of valley tan,
had marched into an ice-cream resort with
a self-cocke in his hand, and ordered the
vanilla GOODNESS for the gang. There being
a dozen young folks at the place, mostly
male and female, from neighboring hop,
ndulging in cream, the proprietor, a meek
Norwegian with thin white hair, deemed it
rude and otttr6 to do So He said something
to that effect, whereat the other eleven men
Of alcoholic courage let off yell that froze
the cream into solid glacier, and shook
two kerosene lamps out of their sockets in
the chandeliers
This annoyed the ice cream agriculturist,
and he took the old axe-handle that he used
to jam the ice down around the freezer with,
and peeled large area Of scalp of the
leaders dome of thought, and it hung down
ovef.his eyes, SO that he could not see to
shoot with any degree of accuracy.
