THE COWBOYS JOYOUS LIFE.
Happiest Moment When a Trainload of
Tenderfeet is in Town

'NNN - III ! own.
There is JOY in the hearts of the
cowboys who are gathered for the Win
ter in the little COW towns along the
line of the Great Northern railway in
northern Montana. The railway com
pany has announced its Indignation Mt
the actions of the boys and they are
gleeful in consequence. To stir up
the wrath of a great railway corpora
ton is a luxury not often given to the
boys who punch COWS
The management OF the railway
takes exception to the habit the boys
have of letting off reviewers with ap-
parent reclllessness during the pass
age of passenger trans through tho
town. 1t is an amusement dear to the
soul of the cowboy. Just nov he has
more money than he has at any other
time during the year. and also has
more ammunition. The presence of
passenger train at the station. with its
load of curious outlanders. moves him
to show off his badness He whoOps
and yells and fires his revolver until
the train has pulled away then hc re
lapSes into his everyday self satisfied
that he has scared the passengers to
fragile. But Mr.. Hill says this is rep
rehensible, and must stop VIII /,
stop? Well
After all. the boys do not do any
great amount of damage. They enjoy
their innocent little amusement Of
shooting holes in the sky and trying
to impress the tcnderleet passengers
The boys have simply carried into
manhood the very human Juvenile de
sire to show off. and when they lvt out
a fusilade of shots and a series of
yells calculated to straighten out the
kinks in a sleeping car portor's hair
they are only trying to put some color
and romance into their very unrOman-
tic and practical lives. The only harm
is to the nerves of the passenger
but just think what a lot the expert
ence gives the passengers TO write
about, What lurid letters can they
send home of adventures In the WITH
and wOOllyi What delicious thrills &
excitement and terror can be felt in
those few moments at the cow town
depot, Why it's a slice of real drama
better than a bushel of Hamlin Ca
lands stories. 1t is an open question
whether the passengers secretly d.
not like the thing. for all the protest.
they may make to the railway people.
But it will be interesting to ohserv,
the attempts to stop the cowboys.

said: ''In my rulings Monday | be

called. | still adhere to that opinion,
but DESTROYS of shifting the respon-
sibility from the chair to the senate,
| have directed the clerk to restore to
the roll the names of the two senators
from South Carolina" When asked
if the result of this action would be
the recognition of either of the sena-
tors to either vote or speak, Senator
Frye replied that it would not and
that this was a question which must
be decided by the senate. Quite IN
expectedly, the senate adjourned
within fifteen minutes after it con-
vened. When the clerk began the

Washington, Feb. Pin the senate
President Frye announced officially
the reversal of his decision of last
Monday eliminating the names of Sen
ators McLaurin and Tillman from the
roll calls. He explained he did not
question the propIiety of the decision,
but the senate, he believed, ought to
pass upon so grave a question. Mr.
Tillman'S protest was spread upon the
minutes by order of the senate. The
session was brief The senate took
part in the Mckinley memorial eX,
ercises in the house. The sub-COm-
mittee of the senate committee on
privileges and elections appointed to
formulate a proposition for proper
punishment of Messrs. Tillman and
McLaurin practically concluded to
recommend that the senators be
severely censured and limit the pun,
ishment to censure.
The house devoted it's time to
memorial services for the late Presi
dent Mckinley. Secretary Hay de
livered a eulogistic address before a
large assemblage of senators, repre-
sentatives, supreme court judges, cab
