 October I, 1911. MT. Joseph Danks,
 Osceola Mills, Pa.
 Esteemed Sir: sN
 Your two postal cards, the one of the 10th, and the other of the 18th ult., both duly received, you therein making inquiry as to your likelihood of securing a job in this part of the mundane sphere as a cow-puncher, and whether you as such will be furnished with a horse, spurs, gun, knife, etc; also, if cowboys gamble, drink or play cards.
 It gives me great pleasure to answer your inquiries, as from these cards it might appear that you possess all the necessary qualifications and experience for this office, and as the life of cow-puncher is very romantic, it would seem just suited to an active, gritty and indomitably spirited young man, such as you seem to be.
 As to a horse, you will need not less than seven; but, whilst these will not he given you, they will cost you nothing, as you are ex- pected to steal what you may need. The gun you mention is not what you want; you must have at least two 45 calibre Colts double action six-shooter revolv- ers-more are better-and at least two bowie knives with about 10 inch blades, called here tooth picks, with sheaths therefor; but, these little things are easily got ten off some dead companion, and failing to find a dead companion, which sometimes happens, you are supposed to kill one or two, and get your guns and knives this way. So, you see, these also cost you nothing, and the so getting of these tends to enlarge your expe- rience, and qualities you the better for the cow-puncher life. Gamb- ling, drinking, card playing and other like moral amusements are unknown to the genuine article of cow-puncher, excepting at such times as he may be not

 these diversions will not bother you in the least.
 The cows in this mountain coun- try are very unlike those you are familiar with in. Pennsylvania. Here they frequently interbreed with other animals, such as the mule and mountain lion, and a litter of two to six fine calves by one COW is not uncommon, and she may have from one to three such filters in season, all of which must be carefully marked and branded as they are brought into the world. Of course these calves begotten by mountain lion are more ferocious than those of-the mule, and in branding them, which is done with red-hot iron, cow ouncher must be very skill ful, lest he get branded himself.
 The cowboy never has any money and he always sleeps out of doors, without blankets, build ing a campfire when the ther- mometer drops a few degrees be- low zero, but not otherwise, and he always eats his meat raw, with out salt or pepper, as it is taken from some freshly killed animal. In summer a fire is never needed, as he boils his coffee and cooks his eggs upon the hot sands, it being pretty warm here.
 Most cow-punchers get three or four squaw wives, and station them about 100 miles apart, in different parts of the country for convenience, always killing the children.
 One thing that perhaps l should mention is, that a cow-puncher seldom lives to be over 35 years of age, as he has generally been shot by some one by that time; if he has not been killed by the cows, eaten up by the lions, bears or gray wolves, or died from the effects of the bite of a hydropho- bia skunk, or in some other way. His body is never buried, but left for the coyotes to feed upon, in order that the sheep may be pro- tected. It makes good coyote feed.
 could give you much more valuable information as to cow boy life, but this may suffice. All in all, it is a pleasant, free and independent life, and you would like it, and as l write word comes to me of the death of three yes terday-one shot, one hanged, and the other eaten by band of grey wolves, their pistols, spurs  and knives being the only things remaining. If you were here right now, no doubt you could get one of their jobs. I know of none other open at this time.
 Trusting this will give you the desired information, and that we may see you as a cow-puncher in this country, l beg to remain
 Always yours,

JUSTICE J. N. HARLAN DEAD.
Oldest Member u. S. Supreme
Court Passed Suddenly Away.

Washington. October 14.--Asso-
ciate Justice John M. Harlan, oldest
member of the Supreme Court Of
the United States, for years conspic-
uous in Kentucky politics, once can
didate for the Republican nomina-
ton for Vice President of the Uni
ted States, a foremost constitutional
authority and prominent in the
councils of the Presbyterian church,
died at his home in this city today.
He was seventy-eight years old last
June.
Justice Harlan had been i'll with
acute bronchitis less than a week.
He sat on the bench last Monday
when the court heard arguments on
the so-called anthracite coal trust
case. The following morning Chief
Justice White announced that JUS
tice Harlan was slightly ill., and
yesterday asked attorneys to con-
sider that Justice Harlan was sitting
in their cases, although not physi-
cally present.
Justice Harlan, however, was in
much more serious condition than
his colleagues in the court realized.
Despite his advanced age. he was
robust and ordinarily enjoyed the
best of health. He was rarely
absent from the bench, an attack Of
influenza. few years ago being al
most the only illness from which he
had suffered for a long period.
The sudden death of Associate
Justice Brewer very much affected

also was great shock to the jurist.

the fact that while the respon-

Superintendent of education has
increased more than three-fold
within the past decade, the sal

stationary. The pittance paid the
official intrusted with the super

incommensurate with the duties
imposed upon him, and no capa-

We have been requested by
several persons to call the atten-
ton of our esteemed Road En-
gineer to the condition of the
road leading out northwest from
town toward Pudding swamp.
The bridges at Pudding swamp
are sail to be really dangerous
to cross and the Broad swamp
bridges ard causeway, just outside
the town limits, have fallen into
such a state of desuetude as to
be well-nigh impossible.
If these complaints are based
on facts-as we have reason to
believe they are-prompt action
on the part of Road Engineer
Eaddy may avert bodily hurt or
property damage to some one at
tempting to cross the dangerous
bridges and save the county
