COWBOY IN CABINET
New Secretary of Interior Was
Once a PIainsman.
Richard A. eailineer Prepared Him
self for College While Driving
Cattle-CIassmate Of His
Predecessor, Garfield.

Washington. - Biographies have
been published, and stories have been
told Of Richard A. Ballinger, former
commissioner of the general land Of
fice and former mayor of Seattle, now
secretary of the interior in President
Taft's cabinet, but not one of these ac-
counts tells Of Judge Ballingers life
as cowboy upon the plains Of south
western Kansas 80 years ago.
Three years he spent in the saddle,
herding droyes of cattle across the
range. and to this day he recounts
interesting experiences that his fellow
cabinet officers will doubtless call
upon him to repeat. On one occasion
he was almost killed by the hoofs of
an unruly broncho.
During these years he studied the
classic languages, riding many miles
across the plains each week TO recite
his lessons. and by his own efforts he
prepared himself for college, where he
was classmate of James r. Garfield
who, quarter of a century later,
made him general land commissioner.

This interesting episode OF the from
tier in Judge Ballinger's life is best
told in his own words-and he remem-
bers most distinctly the incidents of
his cowboy days.
When l was Is years old-in 1873

to Larned. Kan, and as that was in
the center OF the cattle country.

relates:
My most memorable experience as
knight Of the plains came when a
wild horse got the better of me. That
was at Spring creek wanted an
other horse, and went into the cor
raj to lasso one. for l had gained con-
siderable skill with a rope. and in the
enthusiasm of my youth thought l was
invincible
Il got the thong rope over the ami
mails head, all right, and managed to
get him up to the snubbing post,
where the horses are branded. Grad
ually l worked up the untamed steed
until l was within ten feet Of hi,a.
With motion as quick as lightning
so 1t seemed to me-he raised himself
on his hind legs and struck me to the
earth

little time afterward, the horse was

to the board OF commissioners. but
though no arrests were made the
scandal attracted wide attention. and
l was threatened with personal yio-
lence for my activity.
While l was on the range | rode
seven miles every Sunday to recite
Latin to the steward at Fort Larned.
where several companies of soldiers
were stationed. l was grateful for this
assistance and also for the interest ia
ken in me by a minister, who lived
three miles or more from our ranch.
and who was willing to impart to me
his smattering of Greek MY ambition
was to go to college as soon as I
