PICTURESQUE COWBOY is
VANISHING FROM PLAINS
Dashing Swashbuckler Victim of the Coming of More
Modern Ways of Doing Things.

Loved of all the nation as an insti-
tuition, particularly American, and
worshipped by the small boy, the day
of the cowboy is passing.
The dashing swashbuckler with his
leggings, his staggering sombrero, his
belt, revolvers and lariat will soon be
no more, he is vanishing from the
plains, a victim of the coming OF a
more modern way Of doing things.
The knell of the cowboys passing
existence is sounded in the decision
to abandon the reunion of cow punch
ers. for many years an annual event
in Texas.
This used to beheld at Seymour,
Tex It was an event to which the
whole southwest looked forward, and
COWBOYS from half dozen states made
long trips in the saddle in order to be
on hand for this reunion. 1t had been
planned to hold it as usual this spring,
but those who had it in charge found
so little interest that they started an
investigation to find out what had be-
come of all the cowboys.
Their discoveries were depressing
from the standpoint of the small boy,
who in dime novel and pictures has
worshipped the deeds of the sharp
shooting. broncho busting, fearless
men of the plains.
His Occupation Gone.
So widely has the cowboy been scat
tered by changed conditions that like
Othello, he could truthfully say that
his occupation is gone. Not more than
a few hundred cowboys could by any
possibility have been brought to Sey-
mour, and, as this would have been
as far short of a true reunion as
swallow is from composing a summer,
it was reluctantly decided to have no
cOnclave, and this means likely that
the old picturesque institution has
passed for all time.
Yet it has not been SO long since
that a reunion was held that was a
remarkable success.
Seymour, now the center of cult
waited and agricultural section was a
dozen years ago given over to grazing.
In 1897 it was the scene of the largest
gathering of cowboys ever seen in this
country.
The men from ranches in Texas, In
dian Territory and Oklahoma rode to
the gathering, and more than twenty
thousand cowboys and five hundred
Indians rallied to the camp and pitch
ed their tents in Seymour.
The influx of the settlers to the
Panhandle and the ranch territory
of western Texas had at that time just
begun, and the advance of the farmer,
who was destined to take the soil from
the cattle grazer was yet in the fu-

cording to his statistics 5000 common

and those who made it a special call
ing to supply this commodity, find it
very profitable. But there is a far
greater demand for salamanders,
which are a special kind of lizard
Some 5000 of these are disposed of
every year. Young and, therefore, ten
der. lizards frequently fetch as much
as a small chicken-about four francs
apiece. Old and dry lizards are not got
rid of for SO centimes. Snakes fetch
a good price, too, and good ones are
worth as much as a turkey. Young
crocodiles also find a good market.
They are nearly as dear as a good
sized calf, and when very small they
fetch fancy prices. Not many OF them,
however, the writer says, are sold in
a year-perhaps a hundred or there
abouts. Legs of frogs, of course, are
very vulgar in comparison The taste
for them seems to be on the wane.
Only some 10000, we are told, are now
sold in year. Snails, however, hold
their own, especially the Burgundy

Another international Marriage.

Another international marriage is
scheduled to take place in the dfplo-
matte circle at Washington. Miss
Blanche Willis Emory, daughter of
Rear Admiral and Mrs. William Hens
ley Emory, is soon to marry Mr.. Els
mond Ovey, M. " o., third secretary
of the British embassy.
Mr.. Ovey was best man at the we'd
ding of Mr.. H. w. Kennard, second
secretary of the embassy, when
he was married last December
to an American woman, Miss Harriet
Norris. Mr.. Ovey has been in the
American capital year. He began
his diplomatic career about six years
ago. having been stationed at Paris,
Tangier and Stockholm before coming
to this country.
He is linguist of an unusual order,
speaking French, German, Spanish,
Russian and Arabic fiuently. The dec
Grafton of the Victorian order was
conferred upon him for personal serv-
ice rendered to the king.
Miss Emory is a favorite in society
in Washington and New York. Her
father has a place at Roslyn, l.. l.,
and here the family spends part of
each year The Emorys have for sum-
mer neighbors the Whitneys, Raineys
and Mackays, and it is probable that
the wedding will take place at the
Long Island home sometime in the
near future.

Mrs. Taft's Enjoyments.

Mrs. Taft had a good time when she
was growing into womanhood and she
has evidently not forgotten the pleas
ures of those days. She keeps young
people around her whenever it is pos
sible to do so.
Like her distinguished husband, Mrs.
Taft delights in good play and has
been a constant theater goer in the
last month. Uusually she is accom-
panied by the president, who rarely
permits his official duties to interfere
with an evening with Mrs. Taft.
Personally Mrs. Taft is a woman
who has accomplished the achievement
of being a successful official hostess
and one who is able to throw off the
cares of officialdom and enjoy herself
as any other woman in the world likes
to do.

The bombardment lasted for more

Prohibition was another visitor that

Put Up Furious Battle.
Occasionally there were fights. Two
big cowboys battled furiously with
their fists for an hour before one was
forced to give up, but there was no
shooting in the ARRAY, for each man
turned over his pistol to friends be-
fore the combat started.
Some of the men who took part in
the festivities had hundreds of miles
to ride to get back to their ranches
In fact, there were some who came
from as far as New Mexico, Arizona

So great a success was the whole
affair that it was resolved to make it

THE EARLY
FARM GARDEN
Everybody Should Have One for
Own Use.

Whether one is in the truck bust
ness or not, almost anyone likes to
have an early garden for his own
use. The only way to have an early
garden is to have it in an early place.
Select some warm slope, or the south
side of a stone wall, where it is dry
ground, so the ground can be worked
early, and here plant some of the
earliest and hardest vegetables, and
almost every year you will get them
away ahead of the regular garden.
Just as soon as the ground will
work up mellow plant a few rows of
the small, early smooth peas, as they
will come up when the wrinkled peas
would rot in the ground. Then set a

he asked me if it were in the treasury
that the bank notes were made. L told
him about the bureau Of engraving and
printing, and he made up his mind to
take that for his objective point righht

but he said he knew a man in the

get him to go with him.

PRACTICAL PLANS FOR
USEFUL DAIRY BUILDINGS
Increased Demand Inquiry
Improved She1ter-By Prof d. H. Webster

There is now greater amount of in
quiry for better dairy buildings than
ever before. The pure food law and
demand for better products have no
doubt led to this inquiry. In response
to this need we give here some plans
by the dairy division of the depart
ment of agriculture. The accompany
ing plans are intended for SO cows,
and could of course be varied in size
for less or larger number.
The great demand for information
as to the construction of dairy build
ings led the dairy division of the bu-
reau of animal industry, United States
department of agriculture, to start
line of investigation for the purpose
of developing the basic principles of
such construction. In order to make

man who could best be relied on to
keep them in check and he did not
shirk the responsibilities of being
named as grand marshal.
Sullivan Is Diplomat.
Sullivan was the only peace officer
in Seymour, and everything was up to
him. But so skillfully did he dis
charge his duties that during the four
days that the cOnclave lasted he found
it necessary to make only two arrests
and these were for minor offenses,
which shows that the cowboy was
never as needlessly quick on the trig-
ger as the eastern public had been
LED to believe.
But M. Sullivan was a diplomat.
He wouldn't take any chances on a
clash between the Indians and COW
boys He put the Comanches on one
side of the town, while the cowboys
had their camp in another direction.
On the second day matters looked
a little squally for the Indians, but
Sullivan was on the job, and chased

Seymour had admirable advantages
for a gathering of this kind. The road
to the town, which then had popu-

gave a fine course for the furious
races between the cowboys on their
swift ranch horses.

Seymour saw the remarkable specta

the only constructions advisable for
the purpose indicated, but are intend
ed to be suggestive of certain princi

tect or builder may use in designing
barn or other dairy building for q

require or even permit of the same
treatment SO far as exposure, size
form, or building material are con
cerned; but the problems of ventila
ton, cubic air space per COW, light
floors, ceilings, etc, are nearly alike in
cases. The designs shown represent
feasible and inexpensive dairy build
