After the cowboy had waited for

After the cowboy had waited for quarter of an hour and his hun ger remained unsatisfed, he began to grow angry and impatient, and the atmosphere grew sulphurous from the effects of muttered oaths. A man sitting opposite the knight of the plains noticed that he was being neglected, and said. "You will never get waited on here unless you tip the walters. Everybody has to do it that patronizes the place. !" "Well, I'll tip the next one that comes by this table," was the res ponse of the irate cowboy. Sure enough the next waiter that passed was tipped-under the table-where the gentleman from the far west tried to mop up the floor with him. Peace was soon restored and when the wild westerner was remonstra- ted with, he explained "Well, 1 was told to tip a waiter and took the first one that came handy."- Exchange.

joyments. The appearance of your
 genuine cowboy is not inviting.
 His immense boots reaching to his
 knees, his spreading "sombrero"
 covering sunburnt face, his hair,
 no longer tangled and loose, but sensibly cropped close, and his
 heavy whip do not indicate great amount of gentleness or gentility,
 but underneath all this there is
 heart full of kindness and generos- ity. Quick to take ofense and prompt to avenge an insult, he is gentle as g child when appealed to in distress. Not seldom you find among these ranchmen young fel- lows who have been raised in lux ury, fairly educated, and perhaps travelled in Europe. With true American independence they adapt themselves to their mode of life and are content. A bookkeeper for q Broadway firm, medical stu dent, or the son of college pro- lessor, will drive the stock upon the range and gather them into the corral, and take his turn at baking bread. frying bacon and washing, dishes, singing at his work as hap. py as the day, It seems to have peculiar charms for the adventurous English and Scotch gentlemen's sons. Their inherited love for fine stock, for hunting and rural sports generally, gives zest to this style of life, and sweetens all its ruggedness with the charm of novelty.-Chi- cago Times.

The Las Vegas Stock Grower says that from information gather ed from all portions of New Mexi- co, the beef shipment from that Territory this fall will amount to nearly 50,OOO head, most of which will go to Kansas City. If prices improve during the next six weeks, the number stated will be increased by 15,OO0 head; if the present low range of prices continues, with an occasional slump" therefrom, the first estimate will fall short 10000 head.

Some of the range riders report that the late changes in methods of conducting the cattle business were never so noticeable as they are this year. Owners of herds are said to be more particular than ever about their methods of handling cattle, and to require more care and intel ligence from their riders than they have previously done. The yelling cowboy, who always wants to whoop up the cattle and keep them on the move, is at a discount. The beef gather is now under way, and the owners appreciate the fact that the method in which stock is handled has much to do with their shrink age. They want them grazed over the ground, turned to water in good shape and not run to death. Shrink age means loss of money and the profits in the business are not SO large now, that herd owners can af- ford to neglect small items of say ing. The fact is better appreciated now than ever that an ounce of brains, guided with care, is worth more than ton of muscle, guided with a whoop and yell.-Denver Tribune Republican.

MT. Warnick, mail carrier be- tween Thomas and Globe, informs us that the mortality among work oxen on the road east of San Car los still continues. He reports two wagons loaded with bullion one mile this side of Thomas, all the cattle having died. Three miles further west he found Chavaria with nine wagons loaded with bullion !; he lost one-half his oxen and had sent the balance to Pueblo Viejo. Four miles further on another Mex ican teamster, with thirteen wagons carrying bullion, was waiting for his last OK to pass in his checks. Ten miles west of Thomas, Negrete lost all his cattle and had carefully piled the yokes alongside the ton que of his wagons, which were loaded with bullion"

While MT. Ed. Bates was riding through a canon on Mineral Creek 8 few days since, in search of cattle, he came upon the skeleton of a man. The skeleton had evidently lain there a long time, as it con tained no flesh and every vestige of clothing had disappeared. No one can guess who the unfortunate was. Florence Enterprise.

A Washington special contains the following report of an interest ing cattle case which was argued before the Indian Commissioner last week. The speakers continued their argument until nearly mid night: Buchanan, Thompson and Hill are all citizens of Missouri. Thompson claims to have Indian blood in his veins, and from this he claims rights as an Indian in the Indian Territory, although he is a voter in Missouri. The three, it seems, in company with another party of two, formed this sort of partnership. Buchanan, Hill and all the other parties, except Thomp- son, were to contribute cash to the amount of $40,0O0 which was to be expended in the purchase of cattle, which Thompson on account of his rights as an Indian, was to pasture in the Indian Territory. At the end of certain length of time the cattle were to be sold or certain portions of the herd were to be sold, and the profits as soon as the first cost had been met were to be divi- ded among the partners. For one purpose and another demands were made upon the moneyed partners until $1SO,0O0 had been put into the business, and very little, if any thing, had been taken out. Hill, it seems, was the man who furnished the larger portion of the cash and still has some left. The others, with the exception of Thompson, who never claimed to have any money, all went into bankruptcy. At length, it seems, the company began to think it was about time they got some returns from their investment and so asked Thompson to settle. The creditors of the bankrupts were also clamorous for their proportion of the cattle; but Thompson was calm. He was in possession of herd of 33,0O0 cat tie, and simply told the people who wanted some of them that he did not propose to give them up He informed them that the courts of the Indian Territory were for the purpose of trying such causes be- tween Indians only, and that white men have no rights in them. It finally became plain to MT. Hill that he had furnished nearly all the money with which the cattle had been bought and that he could not control a single head of them. He has now asked .that-the cattle be ordered from the Territory into the, jurisdiction of the United States courts. The attorneys for Thomp- son claim that the Indian Commis. sioner has no jurisdiction and can not order the cattle out. The case will probably go to the Secretary for 6ual decision.

The life of the cowboy is rough and laborious. Almost constantly in the saddle, he endures much hard riding and exposure to the sun and storm. The men of this ranch I notice particularly. They must be up at daybreak, "break" horse after horse to the saddle or harness, ride here and there and everywhere, eat rough fare and sleep upon rougher beds. Yet this life is moi without its rude pleasures apd eu'
