while the cattle are on "trail, they ale
kept as closely together as possible,
for in new and strange surroundings
the young cattle are always nervous
and eXcitable.
At night the cattle are rounded
up" and kept together until they lie
down. If the cattle are quiet as they
are disposed to be if the weather is
pleasant, the cowboys take turns il
riding around the herd to see that none
wander away from the main body.
This is kept up until morning when
the cattle get up and once more begin
feeding. The drift from Texas to
Montana requires from four to six
months and it is impossible to imagine
the hardships that the cowboy en-
counters in guiding the animals
through waterless regions and over
mountains
As the northern localities are ap-
preached. the anxiety of the men in
creases, for they are menaced by ter
rife thunderstorms and there is moth
ing that will drive a herd of cattle
crazy so quickly as a loud crash of
thunder or vivid fash of lightning.
To cause a stampede it is only neces-
sary for two or three cattle to become
terror-stricken and start away at
flying gait, believing in fright like a
mad bull. In an instant, the entire
herd are alert and before the men can
prevent it are rushing madly across.
the country.
In this emergency the duty Of the
cowboy is serious one. He must stop
the terrified cattle if possible, and
away he goes at break-neck speed
striving to outstrip the leaders. The
race continues sometimes for thirty
miles.-Thomas Holmes, in Chautau-
guam.

slant Peril.
Every year vast herds of cattle are
driven out of Texas to the northern
ranges. These herds mum Der from two
thousand to five thousand head each
und they are driven by company of
cowboys numbering, usually, twelve.
Besides these men, there is the one in
charge, commonly called the boss"
and cook. Each cowboy is usually
supplied with four horses, for the jour
new is a long one and the animals are
apt to become overworked; then there
Is the possibility of one or more of them
being killed in stampede.
The stampede is most dreaded by the
cowboy. 1t means hard riding and
fearful tax on the nerves, for in at
tempting to stop the progress of herd
of young and wild steers that are panic
stricken, man takes his life in his
hands. To avoid such an occurrence,

WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOV. %. 1894.

DISPATCHES from st. Petersburg say
the young Gear walks about the streets
of that city unattended, and, when he
wants kid gloves, goes into shop ana
BUYS them, as any one of his subjects
would do. But it is vastly different in
Washington. In the latter city presl,
dent Cleveland was never seen in q
shop, and rarely on the streets, and
then in some quiet part of the city, and
always under a guard of detectives.
And vet St. Petersburg is the capital OF
an imperial country, and the Gar has
autocratic power, while Washington is
the capital of republic, and the Presi-
dent had no more authority two years
ago, and will have no more two years
hence, than any other citizen OF the
country. In the earlier and better
DAYS of the nation, when its presidents
were made of better material, their per-
sonal character commanded respect,
and they not only walked Pennsylva-
MIA avenue unattended, but went to
"Mash" market and bought their fish
and game. Conscious of their own
worth and of the personal regard it
commanded, and possessed of both the
moral and physical courage that BELTS
the rulers of men, they did not object
to their humblest fellow citizens who
stood between the wind and their gen.
tility, and were not afraid of them
But times have changed, and presi,
dents with them.
