II WAS HERoIo TRraTaIENT.


From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
A Binghamton man began to hic-
cough last Saturday He hiccoughed
PIP all day and all night and was hard
at it Sunday morning. Every remedy
that his alarmed friends gave him
seemed TO accelerate the hics People
sent in from all over town and rec
ommended sure cures. And he steadily
grew worse.
Then a wise neighbor had a bright
idea. He thought It all out by him
self He went over to the hiecougher's
lone and was ushered into the room
where the afflicted one was fast hic-
coughing his life away
"Hullo." said the neighbor In a light
and cheerful tone. "How's the old
soak this morning."
The sufferer rolled his eyes at the
neighhor In pained surprise.
Don't give me any Of your crocodile
klanees." snorted the friend. "Ifyoud

wouldn't be IN this shameful condi-
tion."
"Wh-hic-at's th-hic-at?" gasped
the sick man.
oh. don't come any Of your inno-
cent business on me" cried the neigh

The hiccougher's face turned red.
"What-hic-did-you-hic-call-me?" he

This was too much for the hiccough-
er. He said several very bad words as
he made a dash at the neighbor and
they raced around the room half q
dozen times-the hiccougher getting
madder at every iump-and then the
neighbor darted through the door and

herders are as great as those Of their
respective callings. From the very ma
ture Of his occupation the cowboy is a
wild, free being.
He breaks the savage and almost
untamable ponies to the saddle and
then rides them. His work is swift
and vigorous, and his charges are the
great. strong, free bulls and cows that
have never known the touch Of the hu-
man hand. He lives and endures hard

pleasures are as fierce as his work. His

the thousands Of stupid sheep, which
have NO individuality. and are mad

very loneliness Of his occupation has
made the herder either a morose and
sullen brute or a poetic dreamer. with
all the fight worn out Of him.
How Sheep Arc often KILLED.
The west still rings with the stories
OF the conflicts between the COW men
and the sheep raisers. When the fiocks
began to grow in the west the COW
men fought the herders as individuals.
Their resentment was at first merely
personal.
Whenever a cowboy found a flock Of
sheep on the range he stood OF and
with his rife picked on sheep after
sheep until he had exhausted his am
munition. When be could shoot no
more he rode on. greatly pleased to
think that he had left behind a badly
scared shepherd and had caused loss
to the sheep owner. If the herder
showed fight he. too, was killed.
A clever cowboy discovered a sure
method Of scattering a flock Of sheep
and making it move on. He gathered
up few hundred head Of wild steers,
and with his companions drove them
pell nell through a flock. This maneu-
yer was usually SO successful that 1t
became a favorite source OF amusement
for the 'punchers"
