PASSING OF THE COWBOY.
He Has Done Much for the Western
Country, but His Day Has Gone.

He Has Done Much for the Western
Country, but His Day Has Gone.
The passing of the cowboy from the
Western ranges Is an inevitable part
Of our national development. With
the restriction of pasture and the in
PRODUCTION OF fences the necessity for
guardians Of our grazing lands is fast
disappearing, and the erstwhile fan
tastic figure Of the cowboy immortal
lied In art and literature must go for
ever.
Those pioneers who have lived In
the West for many years have vivid
recollections OF the cowboy In his pris-
tine glory. He was a picturesque per-
sonage, a terror of the frontier, and at
the same time a paragon of bravery
and gallantry. Humanity has never
had a more striking or higher expo
uent of knight erTantry than is repre-
sented in those men who rode the
ranges and guarded the herds. In the
storm which invited stampede; in the
silent night beneath the stars, and dur
ing the burning heat of day, the men
who sat In their saddles for many
hours and faithfully kept their lonely
vigil were heroes who may well be
Immortahzed in verse and story.
The great West, especially that por-
ton which is given over to the cattle
raising industry, owes It's development
largely to the cowboy. AS a specta-
cular and at the same time faithful
and necessary adjunct Of livestock
production, this type Of man stands
out in scenic interest. One cannot con
template the old-time cattle business
without including in the retrospection
the "cow puncher'' now fast disap.
pearing. The civilizing tendencies OF
tranquility and progress have rung
down the curtain upon the dauntless
men who for half a century earned
sustenance upon the range and lived
under the patronage Of the ranchmen,
The wreck Of storm, the fever Of heat
and the romantic associations Of the
employment have cast the cowboy in
heroic mold.-Kansas City Journal

Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman Is
again on the warpath. She Is deter
mined. II possible, to realize the old
platonic form OF socialism-to get the
women and children out Of the home.
In her opinion there Is no place 50 bad
as home, be 1t ever 30 humble or ever
50 pretentious. Mrs. Gilman both pit
les and blames women who work NJ
home. She plties them because they
are forced to do fifty kinds OF work at
home, whereas il they worked In some
shop or factory they would simply
have one thing to do from morning TIL
night She blames them that they do
not get out OF the home, better their
condition and do the one thing they
like to do best or for which they can
get the most money. II this brilliant
woman would know just how much
women prefer to work at home instead
Of acting as employees outside let her
follow the returns from an advertise
ment in daily newspaper Offering
women reEnuueradve work that can be
done In their home. She would find a
hundred women to one In favor of
this kind Of employment Mrs, Gil
man would have no cooking done In
side the four walls Of the home. Per
haps she Is not fastidious. Perhaps
she has not lived at restaurants or fed
from bakeshops for any length OF time.
Those who have are truly grateful for
the simplest home cooking and prefer
1t to the sloppy. greasy, ill-smelhng
business" which Mrs. Gilman finds In
the home, but which others find In the
food factories which Mrs. Gilman ex-
tolls so highly. Even the baby, accord
ing to the new gospel, Is not to be al
lowed In the home except as an occa-
sional visitor. He Is to take his place
In the thronK Of babies collected in a
common nursery and controlled by
some one who Is not q mother. but
who has a diploma certifying pedago-
gle proficiency. After Mrs. Gilman has
expelled the mother, the baby. the
kitchen, the larder and the family
hearth from the home there seems lit
tie left of 1t to "come home" to except
place to sleep. What is all the toll
for7 What are the babies for, except
to build up home and family life that
is worth havingl The whole instinct
of womanhood rebels against Mrs. Gil
mans proposition. Nature takes care
of some things and she looks out re
llgiously for the home. There are
cases OF abnormality and monstrosity
but these are the exception and not
the rule. Plato propounded his doc
trine of free love and community life
twenty-five centuries ago, but the fam
lily still exists and the baby is cared
for by his mother.

Evidently the gospel is not preached
to the poor in pews that rent for 81, $50
per annum. Evidently the poor are
not wanted In churches that make no
provision for seating them. Evident
Iy there is a serious defect in arrange
ments for public religious services that
take no account of the poor. Evident
ly there are many churches, and by
no means ali of them are in New York
city, in which the gospel Is not only
rated above the reach of the poor, but
quite too high to be attained by the
middle classes or even by the well-to-
dds, In fact, available to none who
is not in affiuent circumstances. The
remedy is free seats in all houses of
worship. Like most other reforms,
this moves slowly, but it Is really NOV
ing, and Is bound to win out" FOR

CUTTING UP THE RANGES
Vast Tracts OF Land In the Southwest
Being Given Up to Farming.


Conditions In the great ranch cOun.
try of the Southwest were never in
better shape for the homeseeker and
investor, says s. A. Hughes, general
immigration agent OF the Frisco Sys-
tenn, who has just returned from an
extensive trip through Texas. The
cattle ranches are being generally cut
up and sold out in small tracts to
farmers from the East and the North.
One railroad system has been carry
ing about $500 homeseekers into the
cheap land districts along its line each
month for the last two years, and the
other southwestern roads have been
doing nearly as large business. Con-
sequently 1t is safe to say that Okla
homa, Texas, Indian Territory and Ar
kansas have increased at the rate Of
10000 settlers a month. The invasion
of the ranch lands has come from
Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Nebraska, ILL
nois, Indiana and Kentucky.
In recent years the cattlemen have
been feeding their cattle In pens and
fattening them on crops grown by
farmers. Hence It Is no longer neces.
sary to devote the grass products of
twenty acres of land to fattening one
steer. Cattlemen have no further use
for the land, and are selling 1t at
prices of from So to $15 an acre.
The northern and eastern farmers
who have bought this ranch land and
begun to cultivate the soil have all
made money. One man near Corpus
Christi bought tract of ranch land
at $15 an acre and put 1t out In Ber.
muda onions. Two years later he sold
$1,000 worth Of onions from eighteen
acres.
In Greer County, Oklahoma, land
sold at SIS an acre two years ago, but
prices have jumped to $15 and S25 an
acre. Farmers are raising a bale ot
cotton or thirty-fve bushels Of wheat
to the acre In that region. One of tht
richest parts of Oklahoma, just now
being made a central point for home
seekers, Is Woods County, in the Eagle
Chief Valley. Only few years agC
this valley was vast cattle range
but 1t is now thickly settled anc

There has been far too much of the
elegant gentleman Idea in the big
Eastern universities. President Eliot
has just publicly taken note of its
somewhat blighting influence at Har-
ward. A good many young men go

ter things. The same may be said of
Yale and Princeton, and though at
