Passing of the Cowboy.

The cowboy is gone from Indian Territory.
Allotment has practically broken up the cattle
business in the Indian Territory, and this year
there viii be almost a total absence of the big
herds which have for years grazed the rich
grasses of Indian Territory. The Indian agent
states that there seems 10 be no move whatever
on the part Of cattlemen to take grazing leases
this year, and there Will be none. Leases OF
this kind cannot be made for a longer period
than one year, and as most of the allotments are
being fenced the COW man cannot longer handle
his cattle under the old regime. The Hereford
and Shorthorn have taken the place OF the
Texas ranger. and the herds have been broken

Rev. Phoebe A. Hanaford has an excellent voice.
At the Rubinstein Club reception the other day

well.
Really I don't know whether 1 can or not. -

Artificial

There is now in operation, on a commercial
scale, at Port Chester. y. Y, an artificial
camphor factory, the product of which is in
tended to compete in the market with the
natural substance. 1t is maintained that it
does not differ, except in the manner OF its
origin, from that extracted from the camphor
tree of Formosa. Artificial camphor is made
from essential oils derived from turpentine.
Chemically the only difference between turpen-
tine and camphor is the possession by each mole
cule of the latter of one atom of oxygen which
is lacking in the former. BY a chemical process
the needed oxygen is supplied. Three-fourths
of the whole supply Of camphor is used in the

TYPICAL English Girl.

Richard lie GalIienne has no great love for the
typical English girl. IN his picturesque. vivid
way he described her one night at the Lambs
Club in New York. Finally he said.
Il was walking down an English lane with
an English girl on an August afternoon. The
sun shone through a soft haze, and in the green
fields many white lambs played.
Is it any wonder / said, that poets from

The Chicago Tribune. whose editor has
personal knowledge of the facts, says that
after Mr.. McKinley's first election Mi.
Hanna wished TO become his secretary of
the treasury. Mr.. Mckinley wanted him
in his Cabinet and had entire confidence in
his financial ability. but feared he was not
the man for that place because he had had
no practice in public speaking. The Presi-
dent was afraid that Mr.. Hanna would be
at a disadvantage as secretary of the treas
ury in addressing chambers of commerce,
boards of trade. etc. So he offered him the
position of postmaster general. This Mr..
Hanna declined, and concluded to enter
national politics by another route. The in
cident did not affect the close friendship
of the two in the slightest degree. 1t was
fortunate for the country and for Mr..
Hanna's fame tina he declined the position
of postmaster general. though he would
have made a good one.
