modify at the fire the while he curses
the weather. Grip, he calls it, and,
whatever it be, the sickness has left
the cowboy colorless and with little
strength. Tomorrow he is going to
ride to Craig to see a doctor-a mere
matter of sixty miles or so in the sad
die, over roads slippery with rain.
Tonight he tries to eat a little of the
fare Slim presses upon him, but finally
he has to put down the food untasted.
He smiles little at the skylarking of
the boys after supper, but soon the
sick cowboy crawls away in his tent
and to slumber in damp bedding on the
damp ground.
The rest Of the boys repair to the
old ranch house for a game of cards.

against bank, is place with a his
tory. 1t was built years ago, in the

out here. From here many an expe-
dition was sent out against the rust.
lers who levied heavily upon Routt
county herds. Here the round-ups
started in the old days, and here the
flower of cowboy chivalry gathered to
make merry at Christmas time, with
perhaps shooting to add to the ex-
element of the occasion. The low
ceiled, stone-walled rooms, with their
corner fireplaces and their hunks for
sleepy COW punchers. seem to exude
the spirit Of romance. If one could
get but part of the stories the old
cabin could tell, he would have not but
dozen classics of Western literature
But the boys who gather for their
game of cards tonight are not of the
past. They speak, as a rule, correctly
albeit with that surplus Of profanity
that seems to be a part of range life
Aside from their high-heeled boots and
other noticeable points of cowboy &C
coutrement, they might be taken fol

TENTH INFAN TRY
COMES WEDNESDAY
Uncle Sans Soldiers to Take
Up Camp in Glen Mil
Ter Park.
STRONG FESTIVAL FEATURE
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WILL Ac-
CORD MARCHING SOLDIERS A
WELCOME UNSURPASSED SINCE
DAYS OF OLD CAMP WAYNE.

Not since the days of Camp Wayne

will there have been so many sold
iers In old Wayne county as on Thurs
day, October 8, the last day Of the fall
festival.
Eight hundred fighting men Of the
Tenth United States Infantry, will be
in the city on that date and their pre-
sence will be one of the strongest
drawing cards of the fall festival. Peo-
pie from all parts of Eastern Indiana
and Western Ohio will be attracted In
to the city on that day and Glen Mil
Ter park, where the regiment will
camp, will be their mecca.
Many Of the big crowds Of people
which will gather in the city on Mill
tary day will see for the first time
a regiment of the regular army. Un.
Gle Sam wants the American people
to get better acquainted with the coun-
try's defenders and he is only too glad
of the opportunity OF presenting the
gallant Tenth to the people living in
this section.
It is expected that the Tenth will
arrive in Richmond some time during
the afternoon of Wednesday. October
q Hundreds Of people on foot, In
vehicles and in automobiles will prob.
ably go to points of vantage along the
National road west of the city to wit
ness the novelty of seeing a regular
army infantry regiment on "the hike.
Back of the fighting column will
come wagon after wagon. loaded with
camp equipment, food and ammunition
and hauled by the famous govern
ment mules" Surely 1t will be q
sight to stir the patriotism Of every
man, woman and child. On the fol
lowing day the troops viii parade
through the city and Main street will
be thronged from the court house tt

Those Flying Above, Sailing

Are Needed.
MONEY is MUCH NEEDED.
CONGRESS WILL BE ASKED TO
MAKE AN APPROPRIATION
WHEN 1T coNvENEs IN NEXT
sEssIoN-IT SEEMS ASSURED.

Washington, Oct. 3.--When con-
gress convenes next winter it will be
asked to appropriate money for the
building of three kinds OF naval craft
vessels that float on the surface of
the sea, vessels that voyage beneath
the sea and vessels that sail through
the air above the sea- Here, say
scientists, is the limit of navigation
possibilities, for when man travels
under land and sea, on land and sea,
and over land and sea there isn't any
place else for him TO travel. Neither.
surface and aerial navigation will be
improved. of course. but there remain
no elements to conquer.
The navy wants air craft of the
heavier-than-air type which can be
launched from the deck of a battle
ship to spy upon an enemy and, Incl
dentally. drop bombs of gun-cotton or
other pleasantly explosive substances
upon the decks of the enemy's ships
Two or three such will be bought out
of the nayy's contingent fund without
waiting for action by congress, and ex
perts already are at work preparing
the specifications upon which bids
will be invited From being the lag
gard among great powers in the mat
ter of aerial navigation, the United
States at one bound has taken first
place. No other nation has yet gotten
TO the point of equipping its battle
ships with aeroplanes, or, as Prof
Alexander Graham Bell says we
should call them aerdromes. The ex
perts who are preparing the specified
tons are using the invention of the
Wright brothers as a base, and If the
purchase is made it probably will be
of Wright machines. as no one has
yet appe AIRED who gives promise even
of fulfilling the requirements.
Tests to Continue.
The lamentable accident at Fori
Myer has temporarily stopped activity
with heavier-than-air machines but
when Wilbur Wright returns to Amer
lea, as 1t is expected he will do soon
there win be a resumption OF tests
and a renewal of interest
Unofficial advices from the navy
department are to the effect that the

after. 1t is a sort of semi-annual
range inventory and few cattle get
through the roundup dragnet.
Still a Demand for, Cowboys.
Without men to ride and rope and
brand and perform the other tasks that
fall to the lot of the cow puncher the
cattle interests would be helpless. Con-
sequently there Is a demand for good
cowboys today and will be for years to
come-not unskilled tendereet who
want to spend the summer vacation at
nice easy work in the saddle, but wiry
seasoned men who have the "savvy."
A few days on the spring roundup

ideas out of a tender foot. and would

| Is not an easy one. even in this day
when the labor of all men is sr- ,osed

camp. Everything was dripping, and
had been for days, as the spring was
grouped about the trees in front of the

meal. Johnny, the round up cook, was
sick, and his place had been taken by
Slim, tall cowboy, whose good ma

Crouch" which is the worst crouch
in the world. 1t is bad enough to be
called upon to cook for an outfit when
you have signed to ride. but what
made it worse in Sims case was the
fact that he had that morning been
walked on by a horse. A big groy
broncho that he had roped out of the
"cayvy" for mount hadrushed at him
like prize fighter with its front feet
Slim had slipped in trying to get away
and the horse had planted one foot on

ton. The book is supposed to be a
picture of old-time cowboy life, yet
there are hens on Judge Henry's
ranch. An old-time cowboy didn't
know any more about hens than he
did about pitchforks.
But despite the fact that some fea-
lures of the cowboys life have chang
ed, there is enough of the old element
remaining to make the life an attrac-
ton for the growing generation in the
cattle strongholds Of the West. There
are plenty of hard-riding young chaps
who are willing to take less pay than
they could get for sheep herding, and
do much harder work than the sheep
man ever does, for the sake of sitting
within that charmed circle Of the
roundup cooks fire. The creak of the
saddle leather is still an alluring mu-
sic in the ears of man and the call of
the cowboys life is not to be resisted
any more than it was a generation
ago. What if sheep herder does get
from $50 to SIS a month and CHUCK"
and all the comforts of life in a wag-
the cowboy only gets from $50 to $40
for rough work outdoors in all kinds
of weather? One business spells TO
nance and the other doesn't-and
these warm-blooded youngsters in the
West are no mere money-grubbers.
The Old Cattle Trail.
Another feature of the cowboy life
that has changed somewhat is the
cattle drive. There are no more OF
those tremendous drives such as An
dy Adams describes in his The Log
of a Cowboy" Before the advent OF
,, the railroads cattle were trailed some
times thousands of miles to market
The trail life was one of the most pic

This morning the board of public

insist that at the present time it is not
necessary to build cement walks, ar
guing that they will be put to enough
expenses by the other contemplated
improvements.
If the property owners do remon-

probable that on the day of the hearing
the board will strike out this propos-

satisfied if these property owners of

R0SS|TER, PRINTER
President Roosevelt Has De-
cided That the New York
Man Is Fit.
| AN INVESTIGATION ECHO.

Washington, March 1.-The presi-
dent has decided to appoint W. S. Ros-
sitter. of New York. to be public print
er to succeed Charles S. Stillings, of
Massachusetts,. Mr. Rossiter has been
for several years chief clerk of the
census office and recently was detailed
by the president to make an examina-
ton into the conduct of business at the
government printing office.
When Stillings was recently sus-
pended as the result of discoveries
made by the house investigating COM
mittee, of which Congressman Lands
of Indiana. is chairman, the president
appointed Mr.. Rossiter as Stillings'
temporary successor.
The treasury department refused to
approve Rossiter's bond. on the ground
that the law provided that an employe
of the government printing office
should be placed in temporary charge
in the event Of change in the head of
the office. 1t was then that the pres
ident selected Mr.. Rossiter as his per
sonal representative in the investiga-
ton. Thomas A. Carter has been a
candidate for the place.

Why Colds are DANGEROUS.

Because you have contracted ordinary
colds and recovered from them without
treatment of any kind, do not for a mo-
ment imagine that colds are not danger
Gus. Everyone knows that pneumonia
and chronic catarrh have their origin in
a common cold. Consumption is not
caused by cold but the cold prepares
the system for the reception and devel-
ment of the germs that would not 9th
erwise have found Judgment 1t is the
same with all infectious diseases. Diph-
liberia, scarlet fever, measles and
whooping cough are much more likely
to be contracted when the child has a
cold. You will see from this that more
real danger turks in cold than in any
other of the common ailments. The cas-
lest and quickest way to cure cold is
to take Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
The many remarkable cures effected by
this preparation have made it a staple

Reported for The Robesonian.
The Young Matron's Club was
beautifully entertained in the
hospitable home of Mrs. R. C.
Lawrence Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Fred Thomas received at
the door and assisted the hos
tess in conducting the guests to
the tea table in the hall over
which Miss Mary Watson pre-
sided, dispensing cups of fra
grant tea most gracefully.
Miss Leslie Proctor rendered
several vocal selections, which
were much enjoyed. Mrs. Fred
Thomas charmingly recited a
selection from Kipling, ION the
road to Mandelay," which was
listened to with marked attention
and received with muchapplause.
Mrs. Addison White most agree
ably gave two vocal numbers,
which were highly appreciated.
The gem "Hiawatha's Woo
ing'-was faultlessly rendered
by Mrs. J. R. Poole and received
with much applause, which
brought forth quite a catchy"
little encore.
After this feast of art, the
ladies were invited to the dining
room to a feast of good things,
where Misses Sallie Mclean, Ma

served several courses with grace
and skill.
