AN HISTORIC BARRooM.
rom the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Cimarron was a lively town in the
seventies, said a land surveyor from
New Mexico. l have seen Clay Allison
ride into the place with a following of
cowboys and start in to make a night
of it. He would buy out Lambert s
barroom to begin with, turn everybody
out of the room except his own crowd,
and then their fun would be fast and
furious. On such an occasion l glanced
through the window and saw a cowboy
dancing naked on the counter to the ac-
compartment of yells and pistol shots
from his comrades.
Through this little adobe town among
the foothills, three-quarters Mexican in
Its population, came and went the vari-
Gus bad men Of the region. Many of
them went no further, dying there
with their boots on in quarrels over
land and stock transactions, politics,
women, cards, or in the ambitious at
tempt to assert their supremacy as des-
psradoes-
When last visited Cimarron, in 1878,
the town was quiet, the cowboys being
al out on the ranges gathering beef
cattle in the fall roundup 1t was the
same old place, with its fat-roofed
adobe buildings struggling along the
banks Of the deep ravine through
which the Cimarron river flows, its few

At that excellent hosiery of sanguin-

Look al this, and he led me to one cor

OH. WESTERN KANSAS!

No one has ever fully and cOmpre-
hensively explained the political as
cendancy Of the Irish away from Ire
land. An Irishman is not a brilliant
| flower in his own garden. The mud
clings to his petals and his pistil is
withered; his corolla, battered wreck.
But transplant him into the dark rich
alluvial loan of foreign politics and
the Irishman blooms like a sunfiower
in the lowest section Of a corn field.
There is startling semblance to the
Irishman in the western Kansan-ex-
cept, perhaps, that he dourishes just
as much on native soil as in foreign
fields
Albeit, the western Kansan is gilt
edged daisy when it comes to politics.
His textbook has been bowling coun-
ty-seat war and his tutor the wild-eyed
son of a gun from the next township
who tried to jump his claim. Through
the barb-wired path Of experience he
has learned to glue his eye to the aver
age human being and draw, as with a
gimlet, from that stranger every am
bition, every desire, every scheme and
every individual characteristic that is
secretly imbedded there.
The average western Kansan can
round up caucus, roll it UP and tie il
with a blue ribbon and walk away
with it in his pocket while his opponent
is trying to persuade the door-keeper Of
the caucus room to let him in. And the
reason that the western KanSan can
do this is that he can endure any viciS
situde known to the human breast
Sleep to him is only careless amuse-
ment, not a necessity, and the destruc-
ton Of red liquor, circumstancial to
politics, merely an infinitesmal digest
i've incident
While his opponents eyes are droop-
ng with heavy fatigue, and his brain
slips into sluggishness, the western
Kansan is still obstreperously active,
still violently alert.
And when the dawn of the day of the
contest breaks in pink confusion above
the eastern hills the opponent has
wrapped his legs around the rungs of
the chair and dropped away
into the realm of sleep. Fresh as a
flower, the western Kansan strolIs out
under the morning sun, trips lightly
away over the grass, luminous with
dew, and catches the fellow who he
hasn't fixed" as he comes from his
breakfast.
AS a political factor the western
Kansan is an established fact, with
affidavits to back it. He has just
carried away most of the rich plums
in the Oklahoma legislature. He has
just waddled to the throne at Topeka
with the speakership crown tilted to
a picturesque angle on his sun-bleach-
ed locks.
Which should lead to the remark
that when it comes to politics, the rest
Of the world Gncluding IrelanO had
better retire and not disturb western
Kansas in her deliberations.

eng several times as good for the
stomach into which it is put. One of
the simplest ways of cooling water is
by evaporation. The Pueblo Indian of
our southwest. with his untutored
mind, discovered this fact hundreds of
years ago, and has been using the dis
covery in his quiet, unobtrusive way
ever since, while we of the higher civ
ilization have been buying ice, depict
ing our pockets and spelling our diges-
tion at the same time. The Pueblo In
dians never discovered the art of glaz-
ing pottery, and the result is that all
their earthenware is more or less
porous, and when filled with water alb
serbs it sponge like, keeping the out
side always moist. This moisture
evaporating cools the vessel and the
water it contains, just as one can feel
the coolness that comes from a breeze
on the body when wet with perspira-
tion. In the dry air of the southwest,
where the Pueblo Indian finds his
home, this evaporation is very great,
and the result is that the pottery ollas
are used by whites, Indians and Mexi-
cans alike to hold cool drinking water.
Anyone who has travelled through
the southwest cannot fail to recollect
the old brownish buff-eolored ola with
its curious Indian decorations. in con-
ventionalized pictures of birds, beasts
and fish that were sure to be found in
the fork of dry cottonwood branch
standing just inside the door with a
yellow calabash, or if, in very modern
house, tin cup hanging from a nail
on the door jamb. And water from it
after q long, dusty ride in the boiling
sun tasted many times better than the
coldest ice cream soda he ever paid ten
cents for in the states. 1t may have
been what Col Tom Ochiltree terms
the large, elegant thirst that added to
the supposed virtues OF the ola as "a
water cooler, but the scientists of the
National Museum will tell you that the
cooling qualities of the porous pottery
are quite as real as imaginary. In the
better class of Mexican houses the
Clipped and battered ola in its pictur-
esque rustic support will usually be re-
placed by more daintily ornamented
earthen one shaped like an army cam
teen, suspended by gray Mexican
scarf in the dr,Iught OF window, or a
highly ornate bowl of a couple of gal
Ions capacity, swung in the same way
in a netting of twisted yucca fibers.
But the cooling principle is always the
same. ~

The witty Reply Of an Irish Hospital
Patient.
A doctor should be master OF push
and parry, If he would get the better Of
an Irish patient, intent upon conceal
ing more than he reveals as to the cause
of his sickness. DIR. Roose yelt, in an
article, "The Hospital" published in
Scribner's, tells how he was once
worsted in professional interview at
the Roosevelt hospital with an Irish
laborer. The doctor writes:
was struck by the humorous look in
his face, but even more by the unmis-
taxable evidences of hard drinking
which he presented. After asking some
other questions, suddenly said:
''You have been drinking pretty hard,
have you not?'
He looked at me with the most en-
gaging of Irish smiles, and gravely in
formed me that he had not done so to
any extent, adding: swell, you know,
I'm longshoreman, and av coorse
we've been on strike, and that names
that livery wan had several drinks q
day. so perhaps did take a little"
After awhile told him first to hold
out his hands, which were shaky. Then
I asked him to put out his tongue.
This was very tremulous, and | said,
rather sharply:
aWhat makes your tongue shake SO
much if you have not been drinkingp"
Looking at me in the most humble
manner, he answered without hesitat-
ing:
sWell, don't know, sir, unless it'f
the modesty of that organ at bein
thrust into prominence in the sight Of
such foine gintleman." I chan ged the

TRADE IN HUMAN HAIR.
The Custom OF Renting the Heads Q
whole Families by the Year.

The Custom OF Renting the Heads Of
whole Families by the Year.
There are wholesale firms in Paris
which send around agents in the spring
to various Breton and other villages.
These gentlemen, says All the Year
Round, are provided with ribbons, silk
laces, haberdashery and cheap jewelry
OF various kinds, paying for the
maidens' tresses in these goods or in
ready money. So far as personal
beauty is concerned, these Breton laces
do not lose much in losing their hair,
for it is the fashion In that y part Of
France for maidens to wear a close
cap, which entirely prevents any part
of their hair being seen.
Some years ago the light German
hair was held in such esteem by the
hair merchants that they gladly paid as
much as eight shillings an ounce for
small quantities Of it--nearly double
the price Of silver. Light hair is col
lected from Germany by agents OF a
Dutch company, who make yearly visits
TO various parts Of the Germania states.
The black hair imported comes mostly
from Brittany and the south OF France,
and is, as a rule, very fine and silken.
