PRESS LEWIS PLAN.
An Original Method Of Persuading
Oxen to Pull.

Every old timer in Montana knows
Press Lewis. Press was on earth
when Benton was the head of navI-
cation in Montana and all goods
came by steamers from st. Louis.
At that time Press was one of humid
reds of freighters who hauled by
slow-footed oxen to all parts of the
state; now Press is one of the few
that are left, and year after year he
covers the distance between Great
Falls and Lewistown or Benton and
Lewistown, loaded with freight for
the busy merchants of that city. To
those who know Press, the following
story, told in Forest and Stream, will
be appreciated, and to those who do
not know him the story may serve as
an introduction.
The palm for picturesque, comPre-
hensive and polyglot swearing has
been awarded to the old bullwhack.
ers of the plains. | have heard a
brakeman on freight train try to ex-
press his feelings when wrestling
with stiff brake on car going
down grade; have seen strong men
jamb their fingers while trying to
set up stove pipes; and many times
have / been with the festive cowboy
in pursuit of refractory steer. The
brakeman, the stovepipc artist and
the cowboy are not wanting in elo-
quence, but they are as infants when
compared with a bull .whacker ex-
horting string of balky oxen with
his wagons stuck in the mud.
1t was universally acknowledged
that old Press Lewis, who used to
freight from Fit. Benton to Ft. Nc
Leod, stood a head and shoulders
above his brethren on the road when
it came to using forceful language

But this is the true and simple little
story of the time when Press had to
acknowledge that there were limits
even to his powers.
1t had been raining, just enough
to make the long hill out of Fort
Benton veritable slough of des-
pond. The soil is gumbo; the wag-
ons were rather heavily loaded
would not GO so far as to say that
Press was loaded, too, but he proba-
bly, was-and half way up the hill
the long line of oxen and creaking
wagons came to stop.
Then Press opened up. AT first,
like the skirmishers' fire at the be
ginning of battle, with mere pre-.
liminary remarks, comparatively
mild-personal remarks on the char
acter of the oxen, considered individ.
ually and collectively; then with
heavier artillery he blazed away al
their ancestors far back to the re.
mote ages, embracing in this vollcy
the wagons in all their parts and the
unfortunates who built them. After
this he turned his attention to the
country and evidently not wishing
to show any partiality, cursed al
people living or dead. A sFecia
corner in the anathema was always
reserved for Christopher Columbus
for having "nosed around and raked
out sich derned, ornery, dog gonec
locoed, son-of-a-g gun-of-a mud heap!
About this time it is said that his re
marks became so sui phurous that the
sage brush in the neighborhooc
shriveled and died.
From the beginning Press had
literally punctuated his sentences
with strokes from his bull whacke ers
whip, which is no toy. But Judging
from results, he might as we'll have
been quoting hymns to the oxen, OF
tanning them with feather duster.
Then Press sat down by the road
side in the mud and wet and with ;
still, small voice mildly remarked tt
the stubborn beasts, "Gentlemen
please pull"
And now strange thing hap
pened; for each and every OK die
straightway brace himself and, will
one mighty pull, dragged those hea
Wy wagons out of that sticky gumb'
and up the steep hill as tho they hac
been 2:40 trotters hitched to pneu
matte tired sulkies-leaving the be
wildered Press Lewis to plunge thrc
the mud in pursuit.
should like to be able to say
that that little incident cured Press
of swearing, but my love of trutl
compels me to say that it did not.
