The Cowboy Of the Past.

The cowboys of picture and story eX-
listed in the brilliant days. At first they
had come from Texas, but in the zenith
of their romantic glory they came from
everywhere and from every class. They
included young Englishmen. college
graduates from the east. we'll born Amer
icans-all sorts who did not strike luck
at ANYTHING else and who were full OF
vim and love of adventure. They got $40
a month and good keep during the great
er part Of each year. They rode good
horses that had as much Of the devil III
them as the boys themselves. They
bought hand stamped Cheyenne saddles
and California bits that were as ornate
as jewelry and stuck their feet in grand
tapaderos. or hooded stirrups, richly or
namented, padded with lambs wool, and
each as big as q fire hat. Their spurs
were fit for grandees. their ropes, or
lariats. were selected with more care
than a circus tightrope. and their big
broad felt sombreros cost more than the
Prince of Wales ever paid for d pot hat
And then, alas! the cownen began 10
economic in men, food, wages-every-
thing. The best of the old kind Of COW
bows. who had not become owners or
foremen, saloon keepers or gamblers or
had not been shot, drifted away. Some
of the smartest among them became

depredations resulted in what almost
came to be war in Wyoming. They in

IMPORTANT ACTION OF THE " SEEING.

WASHINGTON. June 25.-At the last meeting

devised to enlighten Sen ators and representa-

which the Club could speak more understand

my part OF the country. he has set tho dogs on

There was n good deal said Of this sort dur
ing the discussion OF the proposition to spread
the facts before Representatives especially SO
that they might know Mr.. Cleveland's ways
and means when they get together. A COM
mittee OF three will prepare a statement which,
It is believed. will open the eyes Of Democrats
throughout the country.
The suggestion that the club should assume
an aggressive attitude on the question Of con-
nrming in tho Senate certain nominations

cameo of the suggestion that tho club shall pay
