GREAT PLAINS AT NIGHT.
Singing to Keep the Cattle From Be-
coming Too Restless.

Singing to Keep the Cattle From BE-
coming Too Restless.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
There is an indescribable sense OF
strangeness about the great plains at
night said visitor from Texas, chat
ting in the lobby of his hotel. when a
man rides over them alone the very vast
ness Of the landscape will awe him to the
heart, and his nerves will gradually get
on such tension. without his knowing it..
that the yelp of a coyote or the howl OF
wolf a mile away will make him jump
nearly out Of his saddle That is espe-
cially true Of nights when there Is just a
slice of moon in the sky-not enough to
render things distinct, but enough to fill
the whole plain with vague, mysterious
shapes that you seem to distinguish at one
moment and lose the next. I shall never
forget experience I had under such
conditions when L first went into the cat
tie country. 1 was visiting a ranch in
middle Texas, and one day went out with
some of the cowboys to a remote side
camp. The night proved so beautiful, al
though there was very little moon, that
decided to take a fresh horse and ride
back. As might have been expected, lost
my bearings, and after wandering around
for several hours came to a standstill near
a line of low, rolling foothills 1 couldn't t
remember ever having seen before. The
weird half light gave everything an air
Of mystery, the prairie was alive with
strange shifting shadows, and 1 was star
ing into space, falling more and more un-
der the spell Of the place and hour, when
I was almost startled out of my wits by
the sound of a familiar hymn:
Nearer. my God, to Thee! Nearer to
Theer
1.-The words were perfectly distinct, sung
in a deep, powerful barytone, but I could
not for the life Of me tell from where they
came, and before recovered from my first
shock the chorus was taken up in what
seemed to be every point of the compass:
Nearer, my God, to Thee! Ne-e-arer
to Thee
'It sounds foolish to tell, but my hair
bristled on my head. and the wonder is
didn't fall OF my horse. Luckily, at that
moment, cowboy came riding around the
shoulder Of the nearest hill. and in a mo-
ment the unearthly chorus was made plain.
He and his companions had big bunch Of
cattle in sort Of natural corral at the
other side of the rise. and were simply
singing to keep the restless steers quiet.
1t Is an old trick on the range. and have
heard 1t done a Thousand times since. but
never amid such impressive surroundings.
The cowboys put me on the right trail.
and I was soon at the ranch house, but
my nerves were shaken for a week. It is
strange that singing will quiet cattle. but
1t does 1t almost every time. They tell me
1t is one of the mainstays Of the stock
boats, where, without 1t, the poor brutes
would get in q panic at the first roll"
