HE STICKS TO HIS HAT.
"A Way in Which the True Westerner Can be Spotted Even in New York

"A Way in Which the True Westerner
 Can be Spotted Even in New York.
 Did you ever notice that Western man objects to being separated far from his hat?" inquired a citizen who in the years gone by lived upon a Texas ranch T can tell Western man all most as soon as see him by the way he handles and treats his hat.
 T mean the real Westerner-the man who has served his time punching cows and following the roundups. I don't care how long a man has been away from the range region of Texas or Kansas, or the Dakotas, he never loses his hat habit
 "The average cowboy and ranchman takes more pride in his hat than in any other article of his apparel. This trait ot character must have been absorbed from the Mexlcans, who will spend their last $40 for gold braided high pointed sombrero, even if they have to wear sandals the remainder of the year.
 This applies not only to the wide brim sombrero style but to the Derby as we'll. A cowboy thinks nothing of paying SS for one of those big white hats. Perhaps it is the value of the hat that causes it's owner to cling close to It.
 'tAt any rate, the hat and the man are never separated more than a few feet. see this fact demonstrated every day right here in New York, even iii the best restaurants. The hatrack may be ever so handy, but the man from the West carries his headgear in his hand and either keeps it on his lap or lays it close by him on the floor while he eats. have seen them ob- ject to delivering up their hats at the hat room in the hotels of the country while they are at their meals.
 Tn the dance and dinner parties which take place upon the ranches the men never lose sight of their hats.

This attachment for their hats extends
 to the Texas Rangers and other peace
 officers throughout the entire West,
 When the ball in honor of the in
 auguration of Col Tom Campbell as 1 Governor of Texas was given in the
 big hall of representatives in the Cap itol at Austin few months ago Capt Bill Mcdonald, the noted Ranger com mander, attended the event. Dressed in a new suit of hand me down drab
 clothes, with his trousers in his highly polished boots, and wearing his big white sombrero jauntily upon one side of his head, the wiry little captain pre-
 sented his card of admission at the
 door of the ballroom and was directed [ to one checkroom, where he could leave his hat.
 '. Did you think I'm a-goin' to turn this hat over to some stranger to look after while l herd with this crowd?" he said oontemptuously No sir-ee I'm a. goin' to tie onto my hat even if 1t is against the rules of the roundup. And Capt Mcdonald kept his word. He mixed around with the elite of Texas society, carrying his hat in his hand He was afterward asked why he did not leave his hat in the check room.
 Do you think I was going to take any risk with my hat?' he asked. How did I know I would ever get it back again? I am going to carry my hat with me wherever I go, and if folks don't like it they know what they can do.' New York Sun.

IF ANYBODY in New York runs

tative Richard Bartholdt of Missouri,

noitering around the back alleys, they
need not be alarmed. These states
men are looking for place to build
the new main post Office of New York.
The post Office department has al
ready chosen the site at the new
Pennsylvania terminal; it has been
paid for, and the plans are being
drawn for the building. But prior to
the final passage of the bill authoriz-
ing the building resolution was
passed by congress appointing a COM
mission. to consist of the postmaster
general and the chairmen Of the two
building commissions, to go to New
York and make report upon a suita-
BILE location.
Postmaster General Cortelyou, in
his annual report, stated that since
the site had been chosen he had not
called the commission together and it
was thought at the post Office depart
menr that it was all over. But a con-

wise there would be double reason for
the present cry for more room.
Former Senator PETER of Kansas,
who at one time, largely perhaps be-
cause of his picturesque views on peo-
pies rights and because of his equally
picturesque whiskers, was much in
the public mind and eye, practically
lives in Washington. He is engaged,
it is understood, in the nothing less
than herculean task of making an in

is said that Mr.. PETERS patience il

Former Senator Stewart, "Silver"
Stewart of Nevada, is in Washington.
He is as white as the snow on the top
Of his Nevada mountains, but despite
his 80-odd years he is as strong appar-
emily as any tree that grows below
the mountain timber line. Former
Senators Blair of New Hampshire and
Thurston of Nebraska are practicing
law in Washington. The list Ia too

"you are infringing the rules, and 1

"You told me this was the smoking

the smoker.

well, sir, the sign says smoking

air of being we'll within her rights.

no avail. The woman turned on them

building man. were standing in front
of an exhibition car of the Montreal
type, which is shortly to be intro.
duced on the Madison avenue line,
says the New York Tribune.
An old woman who was interested
in street car reform came to the Mon
treal car in the course Of her rounds
and asked to have its fine points ex-
planned to her. Young Brill politely
passed the old woman on to Mr.. Wood,
who showed her through the car.
"This is a wonderful car" said Mr..
Wood to the old woman. THAT young
man there is the street car conductor
who invented 1t. He Is an honest,
worthy young man, and he did not like
to see the street car companies losing
fares the way they did with the old
cars. This car compels honesty" !.

cepts. Last year, knowing that the
station was soon to be completed, the
street railroad officials asked for a
right of way to the new station. The
committee was ready enough to grant
it, but the officials of one traction COM
pany objected to something which the
officials of the other company wanted,
and as a result of the fight action was
postponed for a year, and now Wash

The street car companies are out a
lot of nickels, the citizens are disgust
ed, and the upshot of the whole thing
will be that the Directing company
will gain nothing, for the point which
it fought is now counted as lost, and
the ground plan has been laid for fu-
ture objection to franchise extensions.

angry enough to make certain that
their memories will hold on to the
present grievance for years to come
