are afraid to come out to the bounding
West and invest in many of our rich
and varied resources on account Of the
cowboy. Not long ago a gentleman
having tail hold on big, fat four
year-old job in Washington, ID. c.,
came out here on the cars and met
cowboy. This terror from the plains
had enough deadly jewelry on him to
have taken San Juan hill in jump.
But he was all politeness, and did ev-
erything possible to make the Washing
ton man feel at home. He pointed out
historic scenes, offered the easterner
drink. and in every way tried to re-
lieve his temerity. The easterner, out
of sheer fear, acted as politely AS he
could. but as soon as possible retired TO
a secluded place in the car, where he
took the 20 81 bills he had on his person
and distributed them in various parts
of his clothes. Some he put in his
socks; he turned up his drawers and
filed away a few in there. His hat
band was used also a repository for his
wealth Then he issued forth, ready to
be held up, robbed and probably muir
dered. 1t was then that he learned that
the man had gotten off at the last sta
ton, and that the desperate was super
intendent of Sunday school, president
of a bank and owner of a large herd Cf
cattle. to which he was paying his an
nual visit.
"A great many people in the East
imagine that cowboys are born on the
frontier, in a dug-out where the Indian
sings by day. and the wolves lull him
to rest at night This is erroneous.
Some of the most ferocious cowboys we
have come from Boston and other sea-
port towns. Most of them are as tract
able as a Chinaman's horse hitched to
swill cart. Some of them come to
town, get loud. and try to raise some
thing not native to this soil; but they
are always mighty careful to pick
poor weakly town. Now that the cat
tie industry is carried on inside of
barbed wire fences. many of these
would-be terrors are herding sheep.
No. people need not fear to come
into this country on account Of the
cowboy Those we now have are chiefly
recruited from the ranks of gentlemen,
and carry revolver simply to kill rat
tlesnakes with. They wear their hair
short and carry a safety razor so they
can shave every morning. Some say
that this is because there are more Wo-
men in the country. Whatever may be
the cause the cowboy of to-day ranks
up with the best class of citizens

COWBOY IS NOW A MYTH
Disappea airing in the Progress OF
Civilization.
THE WILD AND WOOLLY
Editor Yerkes Makes an Explanation
to an Eastern Inquirer in
His Usual Happy
Vein.

The terrible and wild and woolly'
cowboy of the western ranges is rapidly
taking his place among the things
NEUROLOGICAL in the East" remarked
a commercial traveller from Boston yes
terday. Up to a short time ago, many
of our eastern friends INDUCED the i'm
agination that Montana cowboy was
nothing less than a hyena in human
guise, stalking about the country shoot
ing every tenderfoot he met. The East
is becoming educated and its people
know more about the West than they
used to. Five years ago I returned
home from a trip through Montana and
told my friends about dance l attend
ed and how the cowboys conducted
themselves. l couldn't make them be-
lieve that nobody was killed ait that
dance. l have seen more boisterous eX-
hibftions right in Boston among people
who are respected by everybody. The
cowboy dance was a pleasant affair.
One of the boys talked pretty loud, but
he was led out of doors and ordered to
stay out. That was the only wild and
woolly' scene l witnessed. ! was sur
prised and greatly pleased to meet an
old college chum at that dance. He
owned band of cattle and was spend
ing the summer with his employees On
the range. He was as much of a cow
boy as any of them, and l can vouch
for his strict observance of the rules Of
etiquette and decency."
An inquirer from the East has asked
the Bozeman Chronicle if the wild and
woolly" cowboys do wear wool. and
Editor Yerkes proceeds to answer as
follows:
Just a few of them do. These we
shear every spring and send their wool
East. 1t is used chiefly to stuff jays
with.
THE cowboy you read about, take
him alone in a fair sized city, is about
as tame as blind mine mule. He
would jump at a job of herding sheep.
Take his gun from him in a saloon
where he has been curdling bitters with
his yells. and you can go up to him
with rye straw and make him tremble
like a sap sucker on quaking asp.
Give him a swift kick in the pants and
he will yell like a man at a fire.
Then there are gentlemanly cow
boys, who take off their guns when
they come to town and behave like
white man. 1t would be dangerous to
call one of these "a liar But the cow
ton, hanging over the launches of
colvers and wearing leather pants that
would put crimp in a salamander,
are the ones who, If you should take a
four year-old club to, would wilt down
in their tracks and soak into the earth
like can of axle grease.
1T is true that great many people

is too small and an addition of few
more officers at the present time would
be very valuable aid.

An Incident In the Grand Old Mans Ca

IF Mr.. Gladstone seldom INDUCED in

the gift-for he possessed it in high
degree-but because he forbore to use
it. To hurt an opponents feelings gave
him pain and when he did it uninten-

floor Of the house, and, sitting for a few
moments by the side of the man whom
he had just demolished, say something

persistent, but never i'll natured, critics
was the late Sir John Pope Hennessy,

Sir John prided himself on his knowl

debates on the commercial treaty with
France he made speech exposing, al
he believed, serious chemical blunde,
in the treaty. Mr.. Gladstone followed
