THE NEW SOUTHWESTERNER
He Is a Practical and Industrious
Man Who Is Not Given to
Fighting.

The time has now come to introduce
the new southwesterner, indeed the
new westerner, for he has come alike
to the north and to the south, and he
is setting himself to the gigantic task
of overthrowing the old, wanton west
erner and saving what he can from the
wreck. The new man-call him ranch
er or farmer-has not come suddenly,
writes Ray Stannard Baker, in Cen
fury. In some sections he has been
at work for years-in parts of Texas,
where he is protected by compa tive
ly favorable land laws, since the early
SOS; in others he is just arriving; but
he has been strong enough only with
in the last few years to exert any per-
ceptible influence. No evolutionary
changes are ever sharply defined; adj
vancement is the result of many in
extricably overlapping influences.
The buffalo hunter overlapped the cow
boy, the cowboy overlaps the sheep
man and the goatman, and all three
have overlapped the new rancher. The
miner has always been present. Jack,
the cowboy, is still powerful on the
range, together with the old careless
life he represents so we'll; but he has
had his fling; the time is near when he
will shoot up a town or rope a con-
stable for the last time. And the man
who follows him is quite a different
person-not so picturesque by a long
way, not so carelessly free, a person
whom Jack despises with all his big.
warm, foolish heart, and breads with
all his impractical head. For Mr.
Brown is from Kansas-or is it Wis
consin?-a practical, unpoetic man:
who wears suspenders and a derby hat:
whose rear pocket bulges to no six
shooter. He is wholly with out respect
for the range boundaries set by honor
able custom; he looks up his rights in
a calfskin law book, and sets down his
expenditures in a small red book, so
that he can tell at the end of the year
how much he has made or lost. One of
his chief weapons is the barbed wire
fence, which he strings ruthlessly
along the rivers or around his leased
school land, where cattle once roamed
free. Kill him, and be done with it; but
next day comes Mr.. Smith from Ohio,
and with him Mr.. John Doe, of Boston,
doing the same despicable things, as
Jack sees them. Is there no end of
them? And killing, unfortunately.
grows unpopular-even dangerous.
What is to be done with men who won"
tight?

How to Open a jackpot.

The Kansas friends of Gene Ware
have unearthed an English edition of
"Ironquill," annotated literally in ex-
PLANTATION of its Americanisms. The
refrain: 'Who openeth a jackpot
may not always rake it down." sug-
gests difficulties disposed of in foot
note, which lays down safe and
conservative rule for foreigners in
the great American game: "The
Jackpot is a feature of a gambling
game of cards in which each player
contributes an equal amount OF
money to the formation of the pot
To open the jackpot means to start
the gambling for that particular pot.
It can only be done by that player
who has a hand of a certain pre-
scribed degree of excellence. If he
can sustain his supremacy he may
win, but in the course of the play he
NAV lose. If he wins he wins all.
Hence, to open jackpot, in slang
parlance, means person with a tenn
porary advantage endeavoring to get
all that his associates have in sight.

THE RAIN.

thank God for the blessed raint
It comes in such gracious wise
That the grateful spires of dropping grass
Look upward with dewy eyes
The buzz of the bees is hushed,
The locust no more complains;
The lilies together lean their heads
And murmur: 'sIt rains, it rains"
The blades of the serried corn
That shrivel beneath the heat
Are tossing their graceful plumes aloft,
AS they rustle-'HoW sweet, how sweet"
The aspens are clasping their hands;
And the shrunken rivulet means no more
Over MOSES that faint with thirst.
Each daisy that stars the grass
Has p1enished, it's silver cup;
The birds that chirped in the hawthorn
hedge
Are hushing their singing up.
AS fra grant al new-mown hay
Comes wafted>the meadows scent;
And the pasturing cattle snuff the air,
And below their wild content.
The cool of the freshening shower
Is wrapping the hills and plains;
The swoon in which Nature breathless lay
Is over: 1t rains-it rains!

orchards from which the domestic

have decided to form an associa-

Is well-l1nown fact that the apple
growers, in acting individually, are

buyers or jobbers who keep them
selves closely informed as to stocks

do not share this knowledge with
