WHAT THE COWBOY
REALLY DOES OUT WEST
His Presence Ever Required on the
Ranch, For There Are Unseen
Dangers to Be Guarded Against.

The actual work with the cattle per-
formed by the cowboy might not re-
Quire over half his time. But slight
as were the days Of his recreation, his
presence was ever required on the
ranch, for there was the unseen to be
guarded against. Some of his work
was done under circumstances requir-
ing unlimited patience, and then again
with a rush where all the comforts
of life We're left behind. In the Chero-
kee Strip, now part Of Oklahoma,
have seen a prairie fire break out from

smoke into the sky, Instantly summon

Its course. Within two or three hours
after a prairie fire had thus started,
there might arrive fifiyto 100 men. Be-
Ing plainsmen as well as cowboys, they
knew what to do. Frequently several
light cow brutes were killed, beheaded,
and split down the spine, leaving only
the hide to hold the body together. The

CALIFORNIA SHIPS THAT
DIG UP GOLD.
Hugh Steam oredges Which Eat
Their Way Through Soil and d.
gest the Yellow Treasure.

Necessity is the mother Of invention,
and man in his Unsuitable greed for gold
is continually conjuring up some new
scheme by which larger share Of
the precious metal may be sna tched
from the earth. The latest one is to
employ huge steam dredges which eat
their way through gold-bearing soil,
digest the yellow treasure out Of it
and cast the refuse overheard again.
1t has long been known that in Cali
fornia and other gold-bearlng regions.
the made land Of the river valleys, etc.,
contained gold, though not in such
quantities as to be proftably worked
by the old methods. Now a dredging
vessel Is set to work on these deposits,
and II can handle them at a cost Of
only five cents or so ton.
Where there is no natural body Of
water for the dredge to float on, an ar
tifclal one is created. In n number Of
cases in California profitable orchards
have been dug up by these dredges for
the gold contained in the soil. The
dredge will handle anything within
about forty feet above or below the sur.
face Of the water.
The soil is scooped up by a chain Of
buckets conveyed to revolving cylin-
ders where it is washed, the particles
Of gold being caught by cocoanut mat
ting, amalgam plates and other devices,
and finally dumped overheard again at
the rear. All this is done by machin-
cry, thus dispensing with most Of the
costly hand work Of the older methods
Wild tales are being told of the prof.
It's 10 be made in this new kind Of min
Ing, and the eyer-watchful promoter IS
abroad trying TO rope in new investors
in schemes of the sort. As a rule
however, such enterprises succeed only
in the hands of experienced men pro.
yided with ample capital; and such
men are seldom eager to share their
good fortune with strangers.

The older a man gets the better be

The man who is afraid Of falling

The man who hunts for trouble never

The best way to solve the labor prob

The work done tomorrow does mol

OFF THE LIST.

There was once in New York an Irish
tailor whose eccentricities threatened
to bring trouble to him, but whose wit
always saved him. One morning a
Mrs. Murphy came into his shop and
found him working laboriously with
pencil and a piece of paper. She
asked him what he was doing, and he
replied that he was making out list
of the men on the block whom he could
whip. as Murphy's name there?" in
quired that mans wife. The tailor con-
fessed that, like Abou Ben Adem's,
Murphy's name headed the list. When
Murphy heard of this he came to the
shop with belligerence in his eyes. He
inquired if the report was true. "Sure
an it's true. Phwat of it," returned
the tailor. "You little grasshopper,"
said Murphy, II could commit suicide

Der.
The old gentleman took chair and
the comedian began to lather, expect

appear. Five minutes passed and no
barber. Five more and still no barber.
The joker began to get desperate and
conceived bright idea. Putting up
his brush he quickly changed his coat
again, took his hat, and was about to
quietly step out behind the gentleman's
back when that worthy turned his
head and exclaimed:
Here, sir, aren't you going to shave
me?"
mo, SIR promptly replied the come
dian. "The fact is, we only lather here,
sir. They shave four doors below"
Then he bolted out of the door. leav-
