THE REAL COWBOY.

No Longer an Animated Battery,
hut q BrOnchO Buster Still.
It is quite true that the cowboy OF
to-day is not college man, nor one
at all familiar with the manners and
customs Of polite society, says Out
West. Neither does he go about his
daily task with brace Of six-shooters
slung at his hips and repeating rifle
held In the crook Of his arm.
Barbed wire fences, steam railroads,
police courts and penitentiaries have
rendered such appurtenances superfu-
GUS. And Immediately after pay day he
does not sweep down upon the nearest
town, shoot out the lights and take
part in a gun fight or two.
For the $50 or $40 month which he
receives a strict attention to the duties
of his Job Is expected, and in these days
of strenuous competition job is pre-
cious thing. The life Of the modern
cowboy is as full Of hard and monotOn-
Gus work as that Of an eastern farm
hand, and there is very little difference
in the intellectual and social standing
Of the two.
Though thousands Of cattle are graz
ed on the plains of the Southwest, very
few are shipped direct from the range
to the market The places of individ-
ual cattle kings have been taken by
great stock companies which own nu-
merous tracts of range land in various
parts of the West.
A few years ago dry season In
southern Arizona meant the death or
many cattle and very frequently the
financial ruin of their owners. The old
timers still tell stories Of having walk
ed for incredible distances on the car
casses of dead steers.
But all that is past-they do things
differently now. Let dry year come
upon the southwestern ranges and the
cattle are hustled on board train and
Transported to the cattle companies
ranges in Colorado or Montana or Da-
kota, where the season is good and the
feed abundant.
No long drives Of hundreds of miles
in search Of new range as in the OLD
days. Simply day or two OF round
ing up, then few hours drive to the
nearest shipping point on the railroad.
Then perhaps a day in town Tor the
cowboys and back again to the nome
ranch and the regular grind.

graduate he is by no means an 1gno-
ramus. Usually he is American born
and fairly we'll read, taking the same
active interest in current topics and
politics that other American citizens 90.
AS general rule he has been raised
in the section in which he is employed
and is of youthful appearance. He
differs very little from the average
American working youth, western dla-
lect stories to the. contrary notWlth-
standing.
In all cowboy bunkhouses there is a
pile OF current magazines, the contents
And one is not infrequently treated to
the amusing spectacle Of yOuthtul
cowboy becoming SO enamored OF the
kind Of punchers pictured in modern
fiction that he purchases pair OF ut
terly useless six-shooters, commences
to walk with a swagger and to initiate
the dialect of Red Saunders.
But if craftsmanship is no longer a
qualification of the cowpuncher, horse
manship is. The modern cattleman is
as proud of his ability to ride anything
on four legs as was ever broncho buster
Of bygone days, and this is the first fact
impressed upon tenderfoOt.

BULGARIA NOW
is INDEPENDENT.
SAYS FERDINAND

London, Oct. EN- the ancient cap
ltal OF Tirnovo, the independence of
Bulgaria was proclaimed yesterday,
with the car of the Bulgarians as a
ruler. Gear of the Bulgarians'' is
recognized to mean more than Gear
OF Bulgaria, because it is a distinct
intimation that he regards his country
as having sovereignty over all the peo-
pie of that blood in the East. Within
day or two Austria Hungary, which
has been working with Prince Ferdi-
nand in this preconcerted plan, will
proclaim the new status of Bosnia and
Herzegovina. The question which has
been stirring Europe more deeply than
any similar question in the memory of
the present generation is: Does it mean
war?
From all the capitals last night it
was reported that it means, first of all,
another European congress Of the sign
ers Of the treaty of Berlin to consider
the situation and probably to revise
the treaty. Turkey, caught in a mo-
ment of weakness, is the victim Of this
situation, and while some international
animosities have been stirred up, prob
ably no power is willing to make war.
Reports from the emancipated Turkish
press to London indicate that the
Young Turks will swallow this bitter
pill as best they can, and if they do,
naturally the Bulgairans, while will
ing and eager for war, will have no
cause on which to base the beginning
of hostilities.
Swift Coup Upsets Things.
Probably never in the histroy of Eu-
rope have politics taken such kaleide-
scopic revolutions as during the past
week. An entangling situation will
come when the sigantories of the Ber-
lin treaty meet to consider what action
shall be taken regarding the violations
of the treaty. Great Britain last night
served notice that it does not recognize
the right Of any of the parties to this
treaty to violate it's provisions without
consulting the others, but English dip
lomats know that the conference will
resolve itself into a scramble among
the powers to get what is termed in
European politics compromising adj
vantages, (which Asturia, backed by
Germany, has already obtained.
The official statement issued by the
British foreign office says:
ellis majesty's government cannot
admit the right of any power to alter
an international treaty without the
consent of the other parties to it, and
it therefore refuses to sanction any III
fraction of the Berlin treaty and de-
clines to recognize what has been done
until the views of the other powers are
known, especially those OF Turkey,
which is more directly concerned than
anyone else.

His brothers in medicine laughed at his

grains of ~strychnine, enough to Kill

Longboat Uneducated.
AS Tom Longboat can barely read his
own name. If printed as big as the
statue of the fireman on the top of the
roof at the Four Corners, it was a good
chance for some wise gazaboo to lock
horns with the Indian On the mana
geriaI stunt, and this Irishman I speak
about got to Tom first and ever since
that day both nave made money. Just
imagine an amateur requiring a man
ager. What a farce to try and claim
that Longboat was an amateur when
he ran last summer over in England.
The wise guys, the easy money mer-
chants over in New York, are after
Longboat to figure in a t~wenty-six mile
race in Madison Square Garden, and
they want Longboat to meet Shrubs
and Hayes. For this reason they came
out with the statement that Longboat
was going to turn professional and
thereby trying to throw more red pep
per in the eyes of the public. I want to
say right now, that In the city of New
York there are more men flying under
amateur colors, who are really profess

enter trolley cars could carry. If the
care were twice as big.

were adjourned to await Justice Nc
Calls decision.
John c.. Toole, counsel for the Ma
II .lal Athletic Club, said that the club
had expended $4,000 in fitting up its
premises for boxing and other enter
tainments. He said that there was u
inherent wrong in boxing contests, and
he said that the police had no right to
interfere with boxing contests.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Hahlo
said that the police had a right to be
present at the boxing contests and put
a stop to such contests whenever they
believed the law was being violated.
He urged the court to deny the appli-
cation, and said that the police should
not be enjoined in the lawful discharge
of their duty.
