STOCK YARDS CANES.
Crook-Handled HickOries Affected by
the Habitues of That Dis
trict in Chicago.

One of the curious sights at the
stock yards is the peculiar style of
cane or walking stick affected by those
whose daily business takes them into,
that great live stock mart. The real
stock yards cane is stick of polished
hickory, with large and ample crook
at the end to meet the requirements of
the huge and bony hands of the most
stalwart ranchman. These canes ap-
parently are not made from saplings
with the bark removed and crook
put upon the end, but from solid strips
of hickory wood shaved and nodded
into the proper shape. They are from
three-quarters to an inch in diameter
in the thickest part and without any
artificial stain or attempt at decora-
tion.
In no other part of the city will you
see them carried or offered for sale.
But when taking trolley ride you will
certainly begin to notice them as soon
as you come anywhere within the
radius of the stock yards district.
They are carried by ranchmen, drov
ers, shippers from the country, sales
men and commission men of the yards.
1t is probable they are more for
practical use than for ornament. They
seem we'll suited to the purpose of
punching fat hogs and lazy steers in
the pens when the animals are being
exhibited to prospective buyers. And
then the crook on the end is big
enough to admit of holding a recall
citrant sheep very handily by it. The
stock yards cane is, therefore, an in
stitution in itself, and if you want to
see how gracefully it is carried and
to what good uses it may be put take
a ride out Halsted street and over
among the pens.-Chicago Chronicle.

DIDN'T sTEAL--JUST Rustic
That Is What ROOsevelts Men Did,
and They Got Everything
In Sight.

When joined the rough riders in the
field 1 had nothing but my oldest suit
of clothes and good six-shooter.
Haven't you anything of your
ewn?" asked Col. Roosevelt, after a
pitying glance at my bicycle slippers
and straw hat.
81 have some extra eyeglasses, sir. -
l said.
well, you'll have to rustic for a
uniform and equipments" remarked
the colonel. but you'd better be careful
how you do it,"
AT the next inspection l was arrayed
in First cavalry hat, shirt from the
| New York Seventy-frst, Spanish trou-
sers, a navy revolver, in German cav
airy hostler from the Prussian military
| attache, Cuban machete, Red Cross
blanket, and a mule-driver's poncho.
''Where did you get the clothes?"
asked Col. Roosevelt, adding quickly, ~
won't ask. AS long as you have uni
form you'll do"
With this encouragement from a
high quarter was duly started on my

fault if lacked for aught hencefor-
ward. Yet l learned that the thing
could be oyerdone. That same night
there was terrific row because some
Napoleonic genius had succeeded in
ilching the only package of sugar in
the outfit, just after the captains or
derly had formally donated it to the
troop. Every mans hand was lifted
against the other, and the quarrels
and recriminatio became so fierce
that several of the former cattlemen
iondled their six-shooters dangling at
their hips.
Next day 1 was ordered to report at
division headquarters, across the hill
While l was standing at attention
heard the following dialogue between
Gen. Wheeler and his adjutant:
81 have found your saddle horse, sir"
"Where was it?''
"In the rough riders camp"
"Well. I'll be blowed! How did it get
.here?"
"They stole it, SIR"
"Where is it now?'
'It is still over there. They claim it
Is their own and refuse to give it up.
They say they found it grazing in their
trenches four days ago."
The old general arose in his wrath.
exclaiming: as there anything those
devils won't steal? Report the facts to
Col. Roosevelt with my compliments.
and tell him that I must insist on hav-
ing my horse returned to me-"
The adjutant departed and Gen.
Wheeler turned to me. AS he recog-
nized the cross sabers and number one
on my army hat his face clouded and
he said:
$50 you are one of the rough riders.
Well, you may be good fighters-in fact,
you have shown yourselves to be good
fghters-but for downright thievery
you are the worst I have ever known.
Why, your camp is known all over the
army as den of thieves. 1t is q Won
der to me how some of you ever man
aged to get out here unhanged."

to keep us straight, sir" said l, salut-
ing, and was promptly sent away on de-
tail.
When I got back to our camp /
found the generals horse still grazing

BACKBONE.

The election Of Frank s. Regain, Prohibtionist to
the illinois legislature is partly due to the system Of
minority representation which obtains in that state
Each voter has three votes for representative and
can If he so choose adj three for candidate
1t is ridiculous that party which casts thousands
of votes should be absolutely without representation
in the halls of legislation. Minority representation
lis coming.
One of the winners the state ticket has taken the
cure and isn't cured Another has the reputation
|of having debauched the morals Of numbers of the
young men of his city. Another was vouched for by
the state liquor dealers organ and it growing
his success We have not the pleasure of a per-
sonal acquaintance with all of the successful cand-
dates We trust that those whom we do not know
are gentlemen of equally high character and as
worthy of the SURFACES of the thousands of moral
and Christian men who voted for them.
Some of the leaders Of the nti-Saloon League are
having a hard time to maintain the non-partisan
character of that organization. Here is the Dial Of
Progress iowa. for instance, which gives large space
to the temperance question in something like SO Of
it's 81 numbers and suddenly discovers that it isn't
much of an issue after all. Just before election it
said: "The three great questions Of this campaign
are the currency question, the tariff question and
foreign policy Let every citizen study these issues
carefully" etc. The same paper contained also an
insidious argument against the Prohibition party
from G. F. Williams one of the leagues state organ
izers This article also published in the Repub-
lican papers of the state as campaign document.
We wish the League we'll. We believe it has mis-
sion. If it fulls it, it will give the party which
is based upon the Leagues principle at least fair
treatment it accOrds to those parties which stand
for the perpetuation Of the saloon.
