lot of cattle are gathered up there is al
ways danger of night stampede, and il
this occurs it is very serious matter, for
not only will the herd become greatly scat
tered, but also many of the steers will die.
More tmid animals than stampeded cattle
1t is difficult to imagine. and once thor
oughly stampeded scores of them will run
until they drop dead in their tracks The
signs of an approaching stampede are ia
miliar to every man who has been much
on the trail. First few cattIe will begin
to low, or rather to utter d sort of roar.
All through the herd single animals will
get up and begin to move around. The
others become restless, and if something is
not done to check them the whole herd
will within short time be rushing head
long over the plain.
''1he most soothing influence that can
be exerted is the human voice, and when
these ominous mutterings are heard every
one on night watch begins to sing. 1t may
we'll be imagined that cowboy music would
have anything but quieting effect upon
musical ears, but it amply satisfies the cat.

GUS animals become quiet. One by one
they lie down and soon all are at rest, fair

singing is that every cowboy, no matter
how rough and lawless, knows a variety of
hymns, and it is with church music that
the stampede is prevented. st. Louis
