Students Of the revolutionary epoch
will find in the Paris exposition many
relics never before exhibited, private
collectors experimenting the historic
treasures of the Musee Carnavalet. A
souvenir Of Robespierre is a cravat Of
Carlyle's "sea green incorruptible
marrow band OF white muslin having
tiny folds, and now yellow with age.
Who knows how many times this bit
OF muslin may have been lovingly

to be one Of the most notable events
Of recent years. And, after the cow

Q There are for American cowboys no
more of the days of danger which con-
fronted their predecessors. Skulking
Indians, yelping wolves, sneaking coy
otes and roaming buffaloes no longer
enter into their calculations. They do
not have to make wild rides to head
off runaway cattle, Or enter upon long
and dreary trips to find and reclaim
cattle lost from the herd. Their cat
tie now are kept well in hand, and the
cowboys have little of the old-time ex-
element, and they are provided with
many of the comforts of modern liv-
ing. And the business itself runs along
as smoothly as railroad. q $; q. &!
Z It is this condition Of affairs that
has prompted some OF the old-time
cowboys to arrange for a convention
OF western plainsmen in Colorado.
They want the present generation to
know what the, life of an American
cowboy used to be. Lads who go west

want, ward against storms, and drive
the herd into corrals in close proxim-
ity to food and water there are many
details unknown to the early cowboy
to which the cattle owner of today
must give his attention. IT,
Instead of furnishing feeders for
corn districts in Kansas and Nebras-
ka, the western ranch man fattens
his beef by the free use of alfalfa,
which is regarded by many experts as
better food for the cattle than corn.
On one ranch in the vicinity of Den
yer 5000 acres are devoted to alfalfa.
There is a pumping plant, with miles
of irrigating bitches and laterals, and
the saving of cattle through this i'm
provement last year was sufficient to
pay for the improvement ITSELF
Cattlemen Of today usually are Of
strong character. Some are of high
social standing, and not few are
college graduates. Many of them
maintain large establishments in Den
yer, support their own stables and live
almost luxuriously. They direct g
large part of their business by wire.
Ranch owners have not been slow
to adopt the telephone in their bust
ness, and the general conduct of the
ranch is directed from headquarters
by this means Instructions for round
ing up certain numbers of cattle thus
are given, as are notifications aof ap-
preaching storms, falling barometer
and prairie fires. ...A T..
The general method of living among
the cowboys has been improved. From
Denver supplies of all kinds are OBJ
tanned with ease, and the modern
ranchman is enabled to get food and
clothing of kind that was beyond
the reach Of the early cowboys. j.

business in recent years, not a few OF
