We heard nothing from him until two days

major didn't like New York, to begin with.

and no one appeared to care copper after
he got there He hadn't struck Broadway
before he felt lonesome for glimpse of
slab bsIanty saloon with a smiling proprietor
and double barreled shotgun behind the
bar He missed the thrifty cactus, the
barbed wire fence and the ambling mul
and long horned steer. We not only caution
ed the major that they probably burned
gas in the big city, but gave him written
instructions not to blow it out or tie rag
over the burner. He mislaid the card, blew
out the flame and was discovered just in
time to save his life. When the major
started out to do New York with a lasso
coiled on his shoulder, the police ran him
in When it was discovered that he had
two guns strapped around him, judge
fined him SIS. He put on his buckskin suit
and stood in Union square and uttered
warwhoop, and he was run in again. He
went into saloon and pounded on the bar
and asked the crowd to step up, and they
called in policeman to throw him out. He
called at most of the newspaper offices. ex-
pecting to have long, friendly chat with
the editors and get some pointers, but all
were too busy to see him. They demanded

fused he was bounced clear across the road.
The major held on for two weeks, hoping
to make round up of it, but being robbed
of his watch and bnnkoed out of most OF
his money he decided to give the east the
cold shake and come home to this great and
