Cow Camp Dialect.
From the Philadelphia Times.

FROM the Philadelphia Times
There are some expressions used about
the ranches and cow camps, without men,
ton of which a sketch would hardly be
complete. To the newcomer they are puZ-
zling, but he soon becomes accustomed to
their use. Instead of a herd being driven
from one pasture to another, they are
showed over into it." "Dogies' are COM
mon cattle from the country below the
plains. 'Chousting them about means
driving them around. .Twos," "threes"
and 'fours' mean cattle of those ages;
"suggin" means blanket; chuck wagon"
means provision wagon and "chuck box"
has a similar meaning. 'Lokoed' lis the
word derived from the lokeweed. When
horse eats of it he becomes as though
crazed or drunk, and, having eaten of it
once, he forms the habit, as do human
tunity. From the weed is derived the word
mentioned, which means not only a horse
SO affected but also not being like ones
self, like the slang expression ratified"
Animals are "roped' when they are las
seed, the lariat being known as a rope.
Cowmen are those who own large punches
of cattle and control an outfit; ''nesters''
are those who own comparatively few cat
tie and have settled upon school lands, and
cowboys are those who handle cattle for
the cowmen. Cow punchers" are men who
accompany a herd when they are shipped
by rail, whose duty is to make all cattle
that lie down in the closely packed cars to
get up by use of sharp sticks, and to re-
move those which are killed or wounded
while In transit. These do not work on the
ranch, but go back and forth with the CAT
tie trains. The name is often applied.
though erroneously, to cowboys In general.

side bore the Democratic slogan, Free
Trade and Silver" These were Of
fetal floats designed by G. B. Ripley.
T. B. Murrays float, America with
his pretty daughter Jenny as the God
dess of Liberty, attracted a great deal
of attention from spectators and the
judges. The display by the Metropolis
tan Meat Company represented four
genuine butchers in silk hats and white
aprons This was gotten up by G. J.
Waller and w. H. Hebron, and was
made to represent, as nearly as posi-
Bile, the floats in the United States. Be
sides the handsomely decorated wagon
containing. the butchers and sheep,
there were two delivery wagons deco
business surmounted by enormous jap
anese umbrellas. McChesney & Sons
had a wagon filled with boxes of Ha-
waiian soap, with native boys in the
act of mailing them up.
The grocers' trade was capitally han
died by Lewis e Co., the enterpriSing
Fort street merchants. Their wagon
was mass of Hawaiian tropical greens
with corners and dome decorated With
bottles of pickles and jams. The Cali

of flour of certain brand.

of which contained a Jewel stove and

the President and Colonel Mclean.
The military part of the procession
was about the same as usual, with the
exception that d company, under COM
mand of Captain Mccarthy, pulled the
battery over the route. Interest center
ed almost entirely upon number OF
floats in the procession This was an
innovation in Hawaii, and, considering
the short time in which the designers
had to get them in shape, they were
really commendable. 1t was only five
days previously that it was decided to
introduce this feature, as well as some
others in which the Government took
a prominent part At the time it was
decided to have floats, superintendent
Brown of the water works acted upon
the suggestion to show off the fire de-
partment, and he had the boys to start
in and dress their engines. To make his
department complete and harmonious,
he likewise had the pumping station
beautifully trimmed with flags, bunting
and MALE.
The first float in the line was one
decorated with evergreens and bunting,
and was crowded with beautiful young
girls representing Hawaii. The second

find the ball whenever he went to bat.
He found it once for a twO-bagger, but
was left on base. Dayton and Jimmy

Bridges, the usually good batsman
of the Kamehamehas had hard luck.
