Cowboy Fun.
Sherman (Wyo) Letter.

Sherman (Wyo) Letter.
On Tuesday Of last week wo bad visit
Ors. Six of the boys from Hardmaa's
ranch descended on us like wolf on
the fold. They meant to stay they said
until they had eaten us out. From the
way they handled the dinner that day it
looked as If their visit would be mighty
short. As they brought sundry TASKS Of
Western Hill at yards, they
were received with open arms. After
dinner everybody was feeling good and
the fun began. In our ranch there are
only three rooms-kitchen. dining room
and sleeping apartment. The walls of
the dining room are covered every inch
with pictures from illustrated papers.
Worthless of all races and condition lend
their august presence to our meals. and
beauties Of all styles look down npon the
admiring faces OF the cow punchers.
"Say, Hank" said the leader of the
visitors to the cook that old duffer in
the wig is too snide. Watch us bore
him." Thereupen that irreverent herd
or pulled out his six shooter and shot
Benjamin Franklin square in the eye.
That opened the ball. Our foreman was
away, and our boys and the visitors did
just as they pleased. The whole crowd
began to blaze at the pictures on the
wall.
There was a picture Of Guitaau posted
above the kitchen door. / believe that
every fellow in the room shot into him.
That pretty girls nose is too long," one
would say, and then proceed to shave off
pieces with his revolver. The ballet
girls received especial attention, After
the shooting there was mighty little
left Of their scant clothing. When they
had paid their respects to the picture
gallery, the crowd was ripe for any mis-
chief. The ranch we live in was built
last fall. Up to the severely cold wealth
er half Of us had lived down at the old
ranch, about half = mile distant, but
when winter set in it was deserted. The
boys feared that when spring opened
the old ricksty building might be fixed
up and again made habitable. Now that
the foreman was away they determined
to spoil the chances Of ever having to
live in ii again, and at the same time to
have some fun. Accordingly, tho whole
crowd mounted their mustangs and ran
a race down to the old building. Some
OF the boys wanted to burn IT, but that
was decided to tame a way OF disposing
Of it. Hank Carson, our cook and mis-
chief-maksr, proposed that 1t be blown
up. The plan was hailed with shouts OF
delight. One of the boys was sent for .
bag OF powder. When it was brought .
train Of powder was laid along the floor
against each of tho walls, and carried
out OF the door down the path. Then the
whole party, with the exception OF Hank
mounted their mustangs and drew mp

Making Chewing Gum of Coal Tar.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pttsburg Dispatch.
There's ear lead of solid comfort for
the young ladies" said gentleman in
Lawrencsville the other evening to a
Dispatch reporter, pointing to ear
standing on the Allegheny Valley rail-
road. NOW there's twenty five barrels
of chewing gum there, he continued.
''You may not know it, but it is fact
that nearly all the chewing gum con-
sumed in the United States and Vassar
college GENES from Plttsburg."
"Of what is this maidenly solace com
posed?' asked the newspaper man.
"Why. it il made from tar, and the
worst of tar. The Standard Oil Com
pany is big thing on wheels when you
get to talking about oil, but ii is just
as big relatively speaking when you get
into the province Of chewing gum. You
see, they control nearly all Of tho refine
ries, and it is from them that the gum
Is evolved, so to speak. The re6ners take
the rssiduum from the crude oil after
the refined article has been made and
work it in an agitator, producing Ger.
tain grade Of paraffine, a wax-like sub
stance. This is sent to two Arms located
in Boston and New York, who put it
through another refining process and
then scent the stuff, cut it up in small
pieces, and then the retail dealers take
hold Of 1t and make thousands Of giddy
girls happy with 'somethin' to chaw,
The wax, as loaded ON the ears, is worth
IL cents pound, but when pvt through
the second refining process its cost is 30
cents a pound. | suppOse a pound of re-
fined paraffins will suffice for the max
ing OF 500 pieces Of chewing gum; 80 the
profit in the business is apparent when
you rocollect that it rstails for / and 2
cents stick"
How much of the wax is shipped frem
Pittsburg weekly" asked the reporter.
well, about fifty barrels per week.
Some of 1t 10 used for finishing up insu-
lated telegraph and telephone wires,
some for making fancy candles; but the
best grades are used for making chew
ing gum. In fact it can be safely COM
puted that twenty-five barrels Of this
wax are weekly shippsd from Pittsburg
to be worked up into chewing gum. 1t
is not a very attractive locking substance
when 1t has gone through tbs first REIN
ing process, but after it has been reagi-
tatcd il comes out beautiful pearl
white in color and is absolutely taste
less. The making of paraffine is one Of
the green spots In the desert of refining
just now, considering the condition Of
the oil trade. Ii Is only within the past
few years that the secondary refining
process has been accomplished in this
country. The wax was sent to Scotland
and then shipped back to this country.
The two firms mentioned in New York
and Boston are now making good thing
out of the business"

Sherman's Peculiarities.

Texas Siftings.
Gen. Sherman's habits during his
campaign were of the simplest. he
went to bed very late and got up carly,
and thus prevented the ensmy from
catching him mapping. The presump-
ton is that hs played cards at night, as
he was always trying to suchro the Con-
fedsrates. Long before the rsveille
sounded his headquarters were in the
saddle, as he used his saddle for pillow
following the lllUstrious example OF
Gen. Pope. who habitually had his head
quarters in the same place. Gen. Sher-
man always gave orders to arouse him
at any hour Of the night IL reports came
in. He was moro anxious to see the re-
ports than he was to see the reporters.
During the Atlanta campaign he set the
example to his troops of disearding tent
which made him Intensely unpopular.
Even the officers were only allowed to
have tent fly. They thought Sherman
was too fly altogether. lie reduced bag
gage to a minimum. No soldier was al
lowed to carry more than Oneminimum.
On one occasion, observing that mem
Der OF his staff had an extra minimum
tied to his saddle, he wreRehed il off
and were il out ever him. He had only
one tent. and that was used by his eleri
cal force. we infer that his chaplain had
it all to himself. The COnfederates
sympathized with Sherman when it
rained, and frequently attempted to take
him in out OF the wet 1t was damp
shame ON the part of Sherman not to
crafty their little within, bat he never
did. 1t used to be said that his head
quarters were in eandle-bOx, because
when he was ia light marching order
one or two small boxes, smptied Of the
candles they originally contained served
to transport his papers. The soldiers
called him "Old Teeump" and "Uncle
Billy" the latter nickname coming into
general Use in the army during the
"March to the Sea-" At his headquar-
ters the solAiers called him Uncle" be-
cause hs was the man they relied on to
get them out Of tight place. For the
same reason pawnbroker is called my
uncle" A single sentry stood guard;
but if the sentry happened to be a mar
ried man he was not required to procure
a divorce. Nobody whether officer or
private, who wanted to speak to the gen
eral, was stopped, with the exception OF
Gen. Hood, or Gen. JoeJohnstor, or some
other confederate. He always had en-
cOuraging words for tho soldiers when
he rode along, telling them what great
thing it was to lay down leg or arm
on the altar Of their country. Sherman
was great in war az a strategist but he
betrayed still more genius ia the field
of politics when he refused to accept the
Republican nomination for the Presi
dency. In that instance he betrayed
genius Of the Hottest order.
