Gratis Of The Cowboy,

mo, mister, a cowboy amt as
bad as some folks paint him. I
have dangled around some when [
was young and | can say with
truth that [ never burnt powder
unless l had to. According to
them back East folks, cowboy is
considered brother to the gazook
with the toasting fork, who has
horns where his hair ought to be.
Now there is Hank, of Cut Bank,
Mont. He is a man quick to
scrap, uses bad language, but he is
square at all times. He has as
soft a spot in his heart as any
other man."
Bill paused, plucked brand
from our camp fire, lit his pipe
and then told me this story to
prove the truth of his assertion:
cit was in the eighties" began
Bill, "that Hank and I was punch
ing some COWS for the B outfit.
We we're in the Salmon River
country, and If you have ever been
there you have some idea of how
rough it. is. Big Sam was our
foreman and Hank was our horse
wrangler. Hank was the most vi.
cious man l had ever seen, a SOFT
OF sassy mogul from Riotous Creek.
He was drinker, a powder burn
or, fighter, and an all-round bad
mans But, notwithstanding this,
he was square. I'll tell you why.
"One night the foreman put
Hank on night guard, for we were
short handed, and told both riders
that they had better make some
noise because a storm was coming
up and the cattle were restless.
On such occasions the men sing
some Song, for it seems the cattle
have more confidence when they
hear human voice. Well, I rolled
up in my blankets to get as much
sleep as I could before the storm
broke. lay there thinking what
/ would do when l drew my cash
that fall, and how many head of
stock it would buy. I was build
ing air castles to beat the band,
and to save my neck, I couldn't get
to sleep. Pretty soon Hank com.
menced to sing. He wasn't very
musical, but it did sound good
that night.
"'Last nights as lay on the prairie
And gazed at the stars in the sky,
wondered If ever cowboy
Would drift to that sweet by and by
"The stiffness when he stopped
singing was SO thick You could al
most cut it with knife. 1t was
SO still you could hear pin drop.

Hank waited long enough to catch
his breath and then tore off
another verse.

rest of the song and, mister, | have
never forgotten it. The happen
ings of that night impressed it ON
my memory and I have tried to be
more kind and not quite so rough
ever since. Here is the song:
"'They say therein be great roundup
Where cowboys like doggies will stand,
To be cut by those riders.Of heaven
Who are posted and know every brand
wonder was ever cowboy
Prepared for that great judgment day,
Who could say rdthe Boss of the riders,
Pm ready to be driven away.
They say that He'll never forsake you,
That henotes every action and look,
But to be sure, you had better get branded
And have your name in His great tally book.
For they tell of another great owner
WHO is nigh Over-stocked, so they say,
But who always makes room for the maverick
Who strays from the dim narrow way
"As he finished there was an
awful clap of thunder and great
flash of lightning zigzagged it's
way across the sky. A moan ran
thru the herd and there was a rat
thing of hoofs and clashing of
horns. Hank let yell out of him
that you could hear above the din.
'Stampee, was all he Said, but it
was enough. / don't know how I
ever found my cayuse in the dark
ness and confusion, but [ did. [
overlook Hank and got close
enough to talk, and the first thing
he said was: Billy Daniels is
ahead of the. stampee and has gone
locoed I guess. He Amt trying to
work himself out, and they are
headed straight for Big Snake
Canyon
Chilly Daniels was Hanks worst
enemy. Hank hated him worse
than snake, yet he did not hest
tate to ride right into that heaving
mass of COW meat and start Billy
out. One misstep of his broncho
meant an awful death. He kept
shooting into the faces of the cat
tie to turn them and to cover
Bil]y's retreat.
daniels came out all right and
we got the herd turned within
mile of the canyon and kept them
milling-that is, running in cir
Gle until they were tired. We put
out guard and the rest of us
turned in to get what sleep we
could. It didn't seem as tho I
had more than closed my eyes
when Donnie the cook compelled
us to roll out. We were all sleepy
and cold, and as we. gathered
around the fire to eat, some one
said: Where is Hank? The fore
man sat down his plate and cup
and asked: Where did he sIeep?'
A few more remarks developed the
fact that no one had seen him
since the stampee.
"Well. mister, our outfit of cow
boys went back over the trail in
just about two minutes, with Dan
iels in the lead. We found Hank
in coulee with a dead horse
across one of his legs and half a
dozen dead steers laying around.
He had ridden into that ooulee
while trying to turn the leaders of
the herd go Daniels could get out
of danger. We took him back to
camp and put him in the grub
wagon and Daniels and I took him
to Council where there was a doc
tor.
'That's why I say a cowboy

out when there is call for it.

No, sir. The foreman passed the
hat just before we left for town.

THE WHITE House
wha. Your Fingers Are Worth
THEO. COLLINS.

You have only to grasp a pen or a
tool of some sort to realize that the
different fingers are far from having
the same value with reference to their
usefulness N performing work. Much
the most important is the thumb, for
without it prehension would be very i'm.
perfect. The hand is no longer pincers,
but merely a claw when deprived of
the thumb. 1t may be estimated that
the thumb represents fully third of
the total value of the hand. The total
loss of the thumb is estimated by com.
petent authorities as Is to 35 per cent
for the right, and 10 to Is per cent for
the left hand, except for the workers
in art, when 40 to so for the right and
25 to 40 per cent for the left hand
comes nearer the value.
The total loss of the index finger
causes an incapaeity estimated at
from 10 to 25 per cent for the right
hand and 10 to Is per cent for the left.
The middle finger is less important than
the index. The ring finger is less inn
portant, and the little finger may be
compared to its neighbor, except in the
professions in which it serves as point
of support for the hand.-London Tit
Bits.
