TRAINING THE TENDERFOOT.
Ora Have Been Sue
ceeded by Various Civilizfnr
Lessons in Montana.

HSSSohS III MOhtdua.
This is the closed season for tender
feet in Montana. During the summer
they roam the four larger cities of the
State with impunity and an air of bra
vado that provokes the residents to
smiles. They are found chiefly in An
aconda, Butte, Great Falls and Helena,
but the smaller towns get some of them
also.
The genuine tenderfoot usually is a
college or preparatory %schoolboy out
to visit relatives in the wild and woody.
Sometimes, instead, he is a clerk Or
salesman. In both cases he starts off
all wrong.
He bursts forth into the west with
joy in his heart and a sombrero that
couldn't go through a barn door. He
found 1t on Broadway. He brings a
pair of schaps, gorgeously fringed, that
he fondly imagines are more fashion,
able in Montana than golf knicker-
bockers. He brings a huge cartridge
belt. a ni~ekle-plated A revolver, and a
pair of giant spurs.
Also he brings merriment to the souls
of his relatives, who once upon a time
came out from the east themselves.
When, if they be residents OF Helena,
he calls Helena a camp-drawing on his
novel-acquired vocabulary-they grow
a little huffy, but get over it in the joy
of gazing upon his idiocy.
The tenderfoot wears his sombrero
and belt to the tennis courts for a time;
early in his stay he acquires enough
sense to leave the gun and spurs be-
hind. He addresses the rector of the
parish as "pardner" and looks always
for the big. bearded, hoarse voiced mi
ners OF the kind he saw in THE Golden
Giant" when he was a child.
He wants to go bear hunting ION the
edge of the camp" but is restrained.
He wears flannel shirts all the time,
and thinks the people he meets are
wearing linen out of a foolish idea OF
doing Difference to him. He talks
western as he has learned it in nov
els and tries to put them at their ease.
Then he wonders why they look at him
in that peculiar manne
BY and by a light breaks in upon
him. He interrogates his relatives sus-
piciously, but they are ~reticent. They
know that no lesson was ever learned
except by experience. Gradually he
finds out that the manners and habits
of people in Montana are much the

According TO the New York World

According to the. New York World
the peroxide blond is going out of fash
ion and she of the raven tresses is be-
that the blond has been banished from
the land but Simply that she has gone
to the drug store and purchased, in
stead of peroxide of hydrogen. a bottle
Of dye. Which goes to show how far
can play the chameleon in her
efforts to improve on the work of The
Almighty.

THE PEROXIDE LADY CHANGES
Blond Tresses No Longer in Vogue
in Gay New York.

in Gay New York.
New York World.
When the New Yorker who is spend
ing his summer in the country retunns
in the fall to his haunts along upper
Broadway he will find that the blond
haired woman whom he has so long
considered as part of the Tenderloin
has apparently disappeared as COM
pletely as though she had been swal-
lowed up by the sea.
A little observation will tell him that
it is the hair and not the woman that
has vanished. Not, however, that he
will be shocked by women with bald
heads or even wigs. Nothing quite SO
serious has happened. 1t Is simply
that the style Of color in hair has
changed. In place of golden locks Of
chemical production he will find women
with hair Of raven hue. set off by much
powder and paint.
The metamorphosis which has been
accomplished with dye of the shade of
night began early in the spring. 1t
was not until lately, however, that it
began with it's number of startling
changes, and by the time the theatres
have opened the blond oma will be
a rarity in the concert halls.
The season for the new fad is n Of
the mysteries of the Tenderloin. 1t is
as easy for a woman to change the
color of her tresses as to don a dinner
gown, and oftentimes not half 50 COM
plicated. Why she should do so is an
other question. 1t is said to be much
easier to keep blond hair black than to
induce raven locks to retain a golden
hue, and this may have had something
to do with It..
Theatrical managers have for some
time shown a preference for dark
haired chorus girls. and as the fashion
in many ways is set by the stage, there
may be a suggestion in this.
Whatever. the eason are. 1t is a fact
that blond hair and the Tenderloin
women have parted company.

THE TIGER CowED.

Hitherto 1t has beer supposed that
the tiger was afraid of nothing living
except the ~police-and not often the
police-and welcomed all to his lair who
might have the price to try their luck.
But a man has been found who has
"bucked" the voracious animal to a
stand-still.
This extraordinary individual is
none other than our friend Pat Sheedy.
According to a dispatch from the Amer
lean Monte Carlo, 1.-The famous sport
and h%igh-roller cannot but put down a
bet in Saratoga. The proprietors of all
the club houses have refused to sell
him ever a five dollar stack of white
chips and the dealers are under orders
not to turn a lard for him."
1t isn't because Pat is crooked in
his play. Not at all. Pat is fair and
square. The tiger is simply afraid of
him. He has the animal h~ypnot'zed. it
seems. He buys $500 worth or more
chips at a time. and has more nerve
than a whole menagerie IF tigers.
Should he strike a streak of luck the
the bank roll" stands a chance of be-
ing rapidly reduced to the proportions
of thirty cents. Besides, all the other
players in the lair stop when Pat be-
gins and look on, which isn't profitable.
Hence in Saratoga he has the tiger
bac,sed clean off the boards and now
tneDonfrfsf sfi1Tks away with tail be-
tween legs every time Mr.. Sheedy
comes around

Where Women Go Barefooted.

There is one entire block in Wichita
where the women go barefooted. They
do not go barefooted because of any
lack OF prosperity in Wichita, but sim
ply from habit. They came from Ar
kansas and Tennessee, where they went
b~arefooted all their life, and naturally
settled in one locality when they came
to Wichita. Nearly all of them smoke
cob pipes and some of them dip snuff.
A barefooted woman, that is, n ha-
bitually b%arefooted, is an awful sight.
There is no romance about her feet, for
the toes are crookce, the joints large
and the heels thick and warty. A wo-
mar without shoes is a fright.-Wichi-
ia Eagle.
