Instead Of gaining fame as the

I've driven a four-horse stage, branded
cattle, broken saddle horses, sung in
a church choir, run a blacksmith's
shop, kept school, given music lessons,
run a hotel, taught painting, carried
mail, roughed it on horseback all the
way from Colorado to Oregon, and

Chinese Court Etiquette.
The regulations regarding the prince
regent have been discussed several
times. At first it was decided that
the grand councillors should stand
when they are received by the prince
regent but the regent did not consent
to this and therefore it has been de-
cided that they will take their seats
instead of standing, while the regent
will sit in the center and the grand
councillors will take seats on the east
and west. However, the grand coun-
cilors propose now to have a throne
in the center and the prince regent
will sit on the left and the grand
councillors, after making salutation to
the throne, will sit on the western
side, and when princes and dukes are
received by the prince regent they
swill kneel once and kowtow thrice,
while the prince regent win receive
them standing. This proposal has been
drafted by Pao Hsi on the order OF
Prince Ching. The prince regent has
accepted only 10000 taels a month as
his monthly expenses, while 10000
taels was proposed by the grand coun-
oilors.

tied, the cow after me, snorting like
a team engine almost in my ear. The
next thing that knew 1 had slipped
and fallen on the ice in the north side
of the bushes with the COW on top. l
believe that l tried to grab the crea-
ture by her horns, with wild hope
that might hold her down until the
men came to the rescue,
Il might as we'll have tried to hold
down a hurricane. AS she rose so did
I, and was on my feet 20 yards away
before she could see where she was at.
Just as she rushed from the bush and
lunged after me, l saw a rope swing
through the air, and the next thing
that devil-possessed COW knew she was
tied to a clump of thicket and left to
mediate upon the evil of her ways.

asked.
"Of course they made out that they
were awfully surprised at the cows
antics, fearfully scared at my close
call, and all that; brit / saw them grin
ming and chuckling as if they were
ready to burst as they rode off, and l
felt dead sure they'd planned to have
a double funeral, COW and calf both, if
they hadn't found a tender-foot to un-
load them on.
However,, / never was one to give
in that l was beaten by anything, first
off, especially by COW. Besides, that
idea of having two nice pets had got
a great hold on me. made up my
mind that If kindness could reclaim
that erring COW SHE should be coddled
like an infant. So next morning, bright
and early, started for the plum bush
where she and the calf was tied, de-
termined to make peace. Fortunately,
two gentlemen, who had heard Of the
episode of the day before, rode over
to see me that morning and Joined me
on my peace-maEing expedition. NO
sooner did the cow see me within 30
feet of her than she gave a fearful
surge; the rope that she was tied with
worn thin by rubbing against the
tree all night--gave way, and the COW
made for me as though SO devils had
taken possession Of her and were urg-
ing her on.

robatic COW sailed straight over my
head and lit about twenty yards below

At first I thought that she was dead,
but no such luck. In moment she
got up, looking foolish and dazed, but
very much alive, and began shaking
her head and paving fiercely, when
the two gentlemen reached down and
lifted me out, as much as to say,
This is what I'll do to you when l
get hold of you.p
(Which she didn't, / hope" / put in
mo, indeed; you can be precious
sure that / took particular care that
she didn't have another chance to get
hold of me or to get back into the yard
again. For an hour or so after she
had hoisted herself out of the gulch
she stood outside the fence that sep
arated the yard from the field, shaking
her head and paving whenever she
saw any of us at the doors or win
dows. At last, towards evening, she
trotted off with a zigzag wabble down
the bank towards the creek among the
willows, and there she lay in ambush,
you might say, so that for week after
we didn't dare to go down to make
garden or do anything else, for fear of
having that COW descend like wolf

that must take her out of the field or
they would shoot her So to prevent
her from demoralizing the entire

her for beef And tough eating she

in any case she was better dead than
alive, for there wasn't room for that
COW and me in the same country"
But you've been telling me about

"Oh, yes The heifer was the calf.
Now, whether the COW disowned the
calf, or the calf the COW, never found

disappeared into the bottom land that

been for that weak spot l might be
wearing literary laurel instead of las
soing cattle-but this is neither here
nor there. What was going to say
was that before I'd been settled on
that ranch three days some men came
our way driving herd of Texas cat
tie to Denver, and, as a late snow
storm came up just then, they decided
to camp on good feed in the hills in
front of my ranch. That afternoon
they came over to our house to buy
bread, and while they were there they
mentioned to me that they had q nice
COW that had just calved, and offered
If would buy the COW to throw in the

came in. No sooner did l hear about
those animals than nothing would do
but that | should have them for pets.
Besides, the COW was offered mighty
cheap, only $18, while I'd been going
without milk rather than pay the fifty
or seventy-fiye dollars asked for a
milch COW; so now l thought was my
chance to close a good bargain and get

bringing her to me. The calf, mean
time, after an equally exciting chase,
had been led up and tied to large
plum bush.
However, / wasn't one to let little
