HAPPY JACK, THE COWBOY.
A Cattle Punci:er Who Carried No Re-
voIver in His Work on the Plains.

Happy Jack, the Colorado cowboy,
was Kentuckian by birth. said the
amateur ranch man. ''Kentucky's sons
in the far west are typieally very tall
men, good tempered. and OF indomit-
able courage, and Happy Jack was nc
exception. Many were the stories told
about the ranches of his great strength.
devil-may-care'courage, and quaint say
ings. He was of great height and
breadth of shoulder, thin, sinewy and
active, with pluck equal to every emer
gency and that cheerful temperament
which found occasion for mirthfulness
in every situation of life and had given
him his beatifc name among his TEL
lows. / first met him at the Horse
Creek ranch, where one night late in
autumn he stopped with his fell WIS
They had come up from the south with
herd of beef cattle which We're put
into one of the corrals over night while
their cavalcade was turned out into the
horse pasture.
Happy Jack was up next morning
earliest of all, and, while the rest OF
the boys were going to breakfast. he
had saddled his gray horse, 4 vicious
creature, as 'spready' and as active as
his master. and having led it to the
front Of the ranch house was about tc
mount. The morning was cold and
frosty, and Jack wore over his regula-
ton cowboy equipment an old army
overcoat.
"'Think he'll buck this morning,
Jack?' said one of the cowboys from the
veranda.
"'Well, Jack drawled, I reckon he'll
do about as he's mind to, and he's
generally got mind to buck
''He settled into the saddle, the horse
went up into the air, and for the first
hundred yards his progress was zig
gag pitching fore aud aft like a wherry
among the breakers. He used every
broncho trick to throw. off his rider,
who, with the cape of the old soldiers
overcoat Tapping up to meet the bfim
of the broad sombrero, slowed an abso-
lutte unconcerl as to what performance
the horse might take into his head to
try. The horse at last discovered that
bucking was useless and wearisome.
and Happy Jack was soon down in the
pasture rounding up the horses. He
had got them together and driven
them back to the ranch building before
the other boys had eaten their break
fast. That was the kind of worker
Happy Jack was.
Everything that Happy Jack did or
said was done laughingly. He carried
no revolver, but as he adjusted lis
saddle equipments before starting
away from the ranch l saw that alnone
the things carefully slowed away in his
cantinas or saddle bags, was q long
knife with shining blade foot long
and what that hints at when seen in Z
Kentuckians outfit everybody knows.
Happy Jack was philosopher who
was prepared equally for peace or for
trouble"

1t was one of his most highly priced
treats to ride the mile and half to the
small village. He turned towards the
stable to ask Mike to catch the pony
for him, then stopped.
II won't ask him. And, anyway, that

quizzical look from his grandfather as
his uncle passed him well-flled plate.
How good that roast mutton smelled!
How tempting to a hungry boy! But
Tom heroics}ly handed back the plate.

and beans are good enough for me-"
But the bread is made with milk, I

Tom, stoutly. II s'pose may eat some

THE beans are dressed with milk

spite of shakes of the head from grand
mother.
The crackers, with which Tom
longed for a glass of milk instead OF
water, and the baked potatoes with
salt, made poor dinner, he thought
But he comforted himself with antici-

The familiar face Of George II,
Walker is seen. Mr.. Walker. is
on his annual visit to New York
He has made so many visits that
he is almost as familiar to New
Workers as he Is to those in the
south, where his interests are,
mostly in Austin and San Antonio,
Texas, and Little Rock, Arkansas.
Mr.. Walker manages the three
theatres, one in each OF the cities
named and they have been both
profitable to him and advantageous
to the companies playing with him
for his record shows that there has
not been a losing night in the
past season, which is wonderful
Mr.. Walker is stout and jolly and
his popularity knows no limit.
Since his arrival in New York he
has enjoyed the sights and COM
bined plenty Of pleasure with bust
| ness. OF his work during his trip
north he says: although 1 have
not been in New York nearly as
long as many other managers i
have been able to select a list OF
attractions which surpasses those
of last season and includes many
who have not visited Texas and
Little Rock in years. The list is
not quite complete, otherwise it
would be given for publication
All Of my theatres are in prime
condition. / have them kept up
! so strict that very little renovation
is required. 1 shall remain In New
! York until the latter part OF
August" Since Mr.. Walker as.
sumed the management of the
opera house in Austin 1t has bet
I ter attractions than in ali its past
experience. San Antonio is the
stopping place for companies going
to San Francisco over the Southern
Pacific route which enables Mr.
Walker to book select companies
for his house, the only one in that
city. In Little Rock Mr.. Walker
has no opposition, therefore is able
to secure and accept only the best
Mr.. Walkers circuit is as complete
as any in the South.
