WYOMING CATTLE WAR.
Ono of the Most Dramatic Pages 1
Frontier History.

One of the Most Dramatic PaRes In
Frontier History.
The Wyoming cattle war Of 1902
makes one Of the most dramatic pages
OF frontier history, says a writer In
Outing. To this day 1t Is called tho
Rustler war because of the widespread
impression at the time that the fight
was between the virtuous owners of
cattle on one side and an organized
community of cattle thieves or rus
tiers" on the other. But never was
anything more misnamed. To be sure
there were cattle rustlers in northern
Wyoming, and there is no doubt that
they had become exceptionally bold.
But 1t is doubtful II, outside OF Wall
street, there has ever been a more
lawless business than the old-tlme cat
tie business, since the world began.
When the great cattle trails were
opened, some cattle owners started
with small herd at one end OF trail
and arrived at the other with thous-
picked up" on the way. Some OF
these men became cattle kings, and
built grand houses, In which they were
always uncomfortabl and even went
to the Legislature or to Congress. Be
side them the rustler, who stole few
paltry head OF cattle, must always re-
main rather pltiable figure.
Considering the Wyoming cattle war
from an unprejudiced viewpoint, IL
appears that the rustler merely fg-
ured as an excuse. The main object
Of the cattle owners who invaded
northern Wyoming with a half-hun-
dred professional man-killers seems to
have been to drive out the small ranch
ers. Some Of the men who had taken
up homesteads in the heart Of the cat
tie country were to be killed, and life
was to be made so miserable for the
others that they would take down their
fences and decamp, and the threat
ened dislntegration OF the great cattle
herds would be postponed indefinitely.
had this plan been successfully car
ried out in johnson County, no doubt
1t would have been made effective In
other parts Of the west where the set
tier was getting too strong a foot
hold. The cowboy would have been
living his picturesque life on the open
range to-day, but the growth Of the
agricultural west would have been set
back a generation.

All things considered, the geranium

Insects seldom attack 1t. 1t has a
healthy constitution that gives 1t i'm
munity from the diseases so common
In most other plants, and it will re-
ward you for the care it receives at
your hands by making your window
bright with bloom as few other plants
can. Therefore you make no mistake
in selecting it for your window gar
den.
But be sure to get plants that have
not been allowed to bloom during the
summer Such plants have exhausted
themselves, and, nine times out of ten
they will insist on taking rest dur
ing the winter months. The ideal gera-
mum for winter use Is the plant which
has been kept steadily growing during
summer, but has had every bud re-
moved as soon as seen. Such plant
will bloom profusely from January to

CHAPTER XVIII

The evening passed as it had passed
a hundred times before. Captain Frere's
home was cottage on the New Town
road. which he had occupied since his
appointment as assistant police magis-
trate. an appointment given to him as a
reward for his exertions in connection
with the Osprey mutiny. His convict
servant had sat up for him, and. as he
entered the man handed him a letter
bearing a superscrption in female
hand.
"Who brought this?" asked Frere
hastily tearing it open to read.
The groom, sir He said that there
was a gentleman at The George the
Fourth who wished to see you"
You needn't wait" said Frere to the
man. Il shall have to go back again.

passage to a glass door at the further
end. A tap upon this door brought a girl.
who courtesied with servile recognition
of the visitor, and ushered him upstairs.
The room into which he was shown was
large one. II had three windows look
ing into the street. and was handsomely
furnished. The carpet was soft, the
candles were bright. and the supper tray
CLEANED invitingly from a table between
the windows. AS Frere entered, a little
terrier ran barking to his feet 1t was
evident that he was not a constant Wis
itor. The rustic Of a silk dress behind
the terrier betrayed the presence of a
woman; and Frere. rounding the promon-
tory Of an ottoman, found himself face
to face with Sarah Purfoy.
THANK you for coming" she said
"Pray sit down"
This was the only greeting that pass
ed between them, and Frere sat down.

hand that twinkled with rings. Eleven
years had dealt gently with this woman.

Two or three OF the factory girls,
who had lowered around the open door
to hear the discussion. looked with

came out with the four dollars which
she had received from the cashier IN

The 100 EARLY BIRD.


1t Is not every master OF English
who appreciates. as Tennyson seems to
nave done, the slarion call of the
crested bird tha- elaps his wings at
dawn" Carlyle did not. What read.
er OF Mrs. Carlyle's letters does not
recall the grimly humorous tale Of the
great mans tantrums when their next
door neiehbors kept poultry The
anathemas he lavished upon the pre-
sumptuous rooster that crowed him
awake in the small hours were truly
magnificent examples OF thunderous
denunciation. and there was no peace
In the Carlyle household until the
wise wife, summoning her utmost
charms OF tongue and toilet, had made
call next door and persuaded the
owners OF the obnoxious bird to boil,
stew, fricassee, or in any other suit
able manner abolish 1t from the face
of the earth.
A less crotchety and cantankerous
author than the great Scotchman, an
American, spending his vacation In
a restful country village, encountered
the rooster problem not long ago, and
conquered 1t after a fashion of his
own. The too early bird in this case
perched on q cellar door directly be-
meath the victims window, and did
not even walt for dawn before issuing
his challenge to a lazy world.
For two nights the unwilling listen
er pitched and tossed and grumbled
and endured; on the third he rose to
the occasion. Beside the desk stood
waste-basket OF generous proper
tons. 1t was to this he turned At
taching line to the bottom and
Weighing the upper edge with a row
OF paper-weights, he deftly lowered
this ingenious trap until 1t hung i'm
nediately above the rooster, but not
near enough to attract his attention.
moments pause to calculate posi-
tlon and be sure that all was right,
then the cord was cut, the basket
dropped, and chanticleer was neatly
extinguished In mid-crow.
The experience OF Doctor Grenfell,
OF Labrador. with rooster which de-
sired to crow at intervals all night
will doubtless be recalled by many
readers. The doctor once had to pass
the night at a small house, over
crowded even before his arrival. There
was absolutely no place for him to
sleep except on top OF the hen-coop.
For a man used to hardship that was
nothing; but for man tired by a
long journey 1t was much that the
rooster underneath should almost at
once manifest a determined predilec-
ton for untimely noise.
1t was not to be borne-but neither
was the neck Of his hosts rooster TO
be wrnng, in a land where fowls are
scarce Nevertheless, he thrust down
his hand between the stats, grabbed
the birds neck, and held on 1t with
a grasp tight enough to produce
silence though not suffocation.
But as the doctor grew sleepier his
grasp would relax. Then the outraged
captive would emit feeble squawk,
or the beginning of a cock-a-doodle-
doc not destined to be finished, for
the first notes would again rouse the
sleeper, who would straightway
tighten his clutch once more.
So the night passed. When morn
ing came the rooster was alive, al
though afflicted with a stiff neck, and
the doctor had slept-a little.
