THE BRAVE COWBOY.
A True Picture Of His Hard and
Thankless Life.

The cowboy as q Knight of Labor is
problem Of the labor question that is
to come up for consideration in the
councils of the wage-worker in the
near future. John H. Sullivan, known.
on the plains and cattle ranges as
Broncho John, is now studying the
workings of labor organizations in diff
ferent Eastern cities and their relations
to working-men as a class, for the pur-
pose of enlightening his isolated fell
low workers of the trails and ranches
on the subject. Sullivan is a cowboy.
He is an intelligent, handsome young
fellow, with peculiarly mild cut yet
keen blue eye. Slight in frame and
modest in demeanor, he appears any
thing but cowboy as the cowboy is
uniformly pictured. He donned the
sombrero and spurs when he was
twelve years old, and has followed
every cattle trail from the Gulf of
Mexico to the mountains of Washing
ton Territory in the fifteen years that
have passed since then.
''As near as can say, at rough
guess, said Sullivan to a Sun re-
porter, there are between eight and
ten thousand cowboys in the ranges of
the raising region. No class of
men work harder. None are so poor
lypaid for their services. The tyranny
and injustice that they are compelled
TO submit to at the hands of their en-
ployers is as great, if not greater than
that to which any other class of labor
ers are subjected. No people have
ever been SO grossly misrepresented
and maligned There is as much differ
ence between the genuine cowboy and
the disreputable blusterer and bull
dozer, that writers for the press have
made the cowboy out to be, as there is
between the honest, handwriting me-
chanic of this or any other city and the
staggering rowdy, loafer or bully that
jostles him in the street.
Men generally choose life OF
crime because they can make more
money and make it easier than they
can by honest labor. Imagine a road
agent, who, by bold stroke, may Sc
cure fortune in half an hour, trailing
herd of cattle across country fol
twenty-five dollars month! -
As to the condition of the cowboys
as working-men, l say. after what
have observed in the East, that they
have no organization back of them to
demand fair treatment at the hands OF
employers. But, while they are moi
organized for mutual protection, theil
employers have one of the strongest
and most systematic. and at the same
time despotic. unions that was ever
formed TO awe and dictate to labor
This is the Ranchers' Society, to which
every cattle baron of the country be-
longs. On the books of this society arr
the names, in alphabetical order, Of
every cowboy on the ranges, from Tex
as to Washington Territory. The aver
age pay of the cowboy is twenty-five
dollars month, and that is putting il
well up. He is obliged to find his en-
tire outfit, except his horses. These
belong to the ranchers.
"But then there is another way the
cowboy is fitted out. II he hasn''
money enough to buy his own. tn,

cles. and the rancher charges him {

JOE sIEa.

whc ere, the heroes we hail to-day.
Is IL the warrior back again.
TO be grit by throngs Of his fellow-men?
The statesman fighting in keen debate
For the laws that will make his country great?
Or the poet, whose spirit In his song
Withers like fire the front OF wrong?
Yes, these are heroes on whom we may call,
Who? And we shout with ringing cheer:
" Joe Sieg the railway engineer,
He did any more than driver ought"
Look at Sieg, Isay, as he stands
With the lever clutch'd In his oily hands,
And hearing naught but the grind of the wheel
On the clanking rail underneath his heel;
Or Lighting his pipe for Whit or two,
Yet looking ahead as drivers do.
Now any one seeing him thus would have said,
Poor stuff after all out of which to plan
Your hero when action calls for the man
So you would think, but listen and hear
Down the Pennsylvania line,
In the light of an afternoon sunshine,
Came Sieg with train OF cars behind
And hundreds of lives that were his to mind.
Little thought he of danger near
As he watched for signals set at clear.
If he thought at all, and that thought could be
said,
As he stood on the foot.plate looking ahead,
Run sharp to his time, nor be overdue.
With Sieg at his post by the levers there,
Engine and cars like whirlwind tore
Till Just as the stOker threw open the door
OF the furnace, at once through each black
flue came
The quick back-draught, bringing with IT the
flame
That, scorching with lightning fingers of pain,
Drove Sieg aud his stoker back in the train.
M
Back they went, bearing oil the brunt
OF the fiery tongues thar were kissing In front.
They caught at the cars in their wild desire,
That in less than moment were muffied in
fire. .8sts
Shot ahead with a shrek Of defiant glee.
Behind were hundreds of lives in o tomb
That was hot with the breath Of their awful
DOOM
To leap from the train would be certain DEATH
TO stay would be food for the flames wild
breath
Now was the time for your hero to plan
Not moment he stood, for at once he saw
His duty before him. and that was law.
Not single thought OF himself came near
To shake his grand. brave spirit with fear,
Only there rose like flash, in his eye,
As in those when the last stern moment ia
nigh,
A look that would do all that duty could
claim,

Awful Workings Of Secret Sin.

A secret sin works insidiously, but
with wondrous quiet power. Its hid
den ravages are awful. and the out
ward revelation of their result and ex-
istence may be contemporaneous. I'm
til that revelation was made, probably
no one ever suspected the presence in
the man of any thing but of a few
venial faults which were as mere ex-
crescences on robust character,
though these growths were something
rude. Oftentimes large fungus will
start from tree, and in some mvsteri-
GUS manner will sap the life-power on
the spot on which it grows. They
were like that fungus. When the fun
gus falls in the autumn it leaves scarce
ly a trace of its presence. the tree be-
ing apparently as healthy rs before the
advent of the parasite; but the whole
character of the wood has been changed
by the strange power of the fungus,
being soft and cOrk-like to the touch
Perhaps the parasite may fall in the
autumn, and the tree may show nc
symptoms of decay; but at the first
tempest it may have to encounter the
trunk snaps of at the spot where the
fungus has been, and the extent of the
injury is at once disclosed. As long as
any portion of that tree retains life it
will continue to throw out these de-
structive fungi, and even when a mere
stump is left in the ground the fungi
will push themselves out in profusion.

SELECTING SEED CORN.
Why 1t Should BE Done While the Crop
Is Still Standing in the Field.

Why It Should BE Done While the Crop
Is Still Standing in the Field.
The losses that occur every year
from the employment of defective or
inferior seed corn ought to impress
every farmer with the necessity of a
careful selection of seed at time of
harvesting the crop. While the corn
is yet standing in the fields this selec-
tion can be readily and judiciously
made. but the corn once in the bins
the farmer labors under serious disad-
vantages. In selecting seed four
points should be taken into considera-
tion-first. earliness of maturity: Sec
Ond, number of ears upon a stalk;
third, size of the stalks, and fourth,
perfection of the ears. Like produces
like with seed as with animals One
can not expect to produce large crop
of corn when. for instance. FIVE stalks
have grown in hill and but one has
borne an ear Every farmer knows
that such corn is useless for seed.
The best ear for seed corn is the one
that is uniform in size throughout its
entire length, with straight rows and
with curiy-formed grains the entire
length.
Seed corn must be gathered before
freezing weather and placed where it
will begin Immediately to dry. In the
northern belt of States this drying
question is an important one, for If the
corn-especially the larger varieties
be not subjected to favorable condi-
tions for drying, so that the seed corn
will become thoroughly cured. cob in
cluded, it viii result in failure through
lack of terminating powers. while If
properly cured it will sprout and grow
under almost any condition.
Many farmers after having sun-dried
their seed corn store it in the lofts of
their smoke-houses in order that il
may become permeated with the
creosote from the smoke there, and
thus gain . protection. when planted.
