MADE HIS STANDING RIGHT
Feat Of Rolling Cigarette Convinced
Cowboys That the Visitor Was
One Of Themselves.
An ex-governor Of wyoming

An ex-governor Of Wyoming was
talking with some friends.
"The ability to roll cigarette with
one hand along your leg in the teeth Of
a high wind used to be accepted in
Wyoming as sure proof you were no
tenderfoot," he said.
When l first went west | was a
cowboy. After l had been on the
roundup for a couple of years 1 went
one day to q cattle town in another
part of the state. l walked into a
small saloon-just little shack ON the
prairie-when there was regular gale
on. / walked up to the bar and was
stared at with some contempt and un-
friendliness by several cowboys lined
up there. looked mighty young and
inexperienced, and l guess they
thought / was an eastern tenderfoot.
and an eastern tenderfoot was not
overpopular in those days.
"Set 'em up for the house. I said
'What'll you all have?'
THE cowboys kind Of snarled at me
l saw they weren't friendly to a sup
posed tenderfoot, so l said: Excuse
me minute With that l pulled out
my sack of tobacco and my cigarette
papers and / started for the door.
Where are you goingf said the
bartender.
ITO roll a cigarette said L Il
can't roll one out Of the wind
i held the door open with one hand
and the gale pretty nearly blew the
place down. and with the other rolled
my cigarette along my leg in a twin
king and in the most scientific style.
Then went back to the bar.
The cowboys. who had stared In 81
lence, broke out laughing.
I see you're one OF US, all right.

BRIEF MOMENTS OF DREAMS
Easy to Imagine Long Periods Flaps
Ing During Maps of Short
Duration.

Both Bismarck and Pepys found
that noise enhanced the value of a
nights rest. Bismarck confided in his
old age to an interviewer that he could
never sleep In Berlin at night when
1t is quiet but as soon as the noises
begins about four o'clock in the morn
ing can sleep little and get my
rest for the day"
Pepys records in his diary on Sep
TENDER %. 1861, that he slept at Well.
ing land still remember it that In all
my life l never did pass a night with
more epicurism of sleep; there being
now and then noise of people that
walked me, and then it was a very
rainy night, and then l was little
weary, that what between waking and
then sleeping again one after another,
l never had SO much content in all
my life"
The probability that we get snatches
OF sleep at odd moments when we
suppose ourselves to have remained
continuously awake is supported by
the phenomena of dreams. Mark
Twain accounted for his own "disap-
pearing visitor by the belief that he
had unconsciously had a very short
nap. and many have explained visions
of ghosts as due to dreams during
such short maps
For nothing is better established III
connection with dreams than that an
apparently very long one can occur
during an almost infinitesimal time
Alfred Maury had long, vivid dream
of the reign of terror. including the
trial of himself and his execution, and
was able to show that 1t all happened
during the moment of awakening by
the fall of rod from the bed canopy
upon his neck.

STRANGE BIRD or DESERT
chapParal Cock Said by cattIemen to
Build Spike Fence Around
Rattlesnake.

Does the road runner or Chapparal
cock snare the rattlesnake by build
ing fence of cholla spikes around
him and then dispatch the reptile at
leisure? The story, received with
skepticism, has often been told about
this bird of the southwest Mr.. John
Feeney of Elmira recently went to
Arizona to learn the truth. He learned
from some of the pioneers that they
were ready to make afidavits that
they had witnessed the capture and
death of rattlesnakes in the aforesaid
fashion. Mr.. Sidney de Long of Bis
bee affirmed that he had seen a pair
OF road runners, evidently mates, do
the trick. Cattlemen were prolific in
experiences Of the kind, but the Ari-
zona Historical society had no data.
The road runner is such a strange
bird that anything told about it is
believed. DR.. William T. Hornaday, in
his American Natural History" is
credulous himself. The bird, he says,
"is remarkably odd in form and also
In its habits He thus describes it:
1t Is about the size of a small
crow, with tail as long as its entire
body and head, and legs that are so
long and strong they seem like those
of a grouse, save that the toes are
longer. The body is slender, but the
neck and head are large and the head
has a conspicuous crest. The beak
Is large. Although the bird has wings
it seldom uses them, and they must
constantly be growing smaller through
disuse"
Mice, lizards, snakes, centipedes,
and insects are provender. The doctor
testifes that it is the most nervous of
birds, abnormally suspicious and phe-
nomenally quick in it's movements. It
flies little, but leaps far and high with
closed wings. He estimates that If
the road runner goes on 10000 years
in its present habits" it will cease to
fly at all and will be able to leap 20
feet in the air. This remarkable de-
scription of the uneasy and elusive
bird of the Arizona desert prepares
one for the many strange yarns" that
have been told about 1t, including the
story of how it traps the somnolent

of valley. Aloft thrilling spectacle
met his view.
Upon projecting rock, hundreds of
feet above him, two men were strug-

and slid over. His frantic hands
CROPPED for a saving hold Clutching
at handfuls of long stringy grass, he
hung suspended.
Then began strange, weird
threnody. 1t proceeded from the lips
of Zerata. His arms folded across
his chest, he chanted some wild strain
Of death song, gazing mercilessly at
his victim, who slid. slipped inch by

With a curdling shrek Burke went
down, down, dashed to pieces on
rocks far down the yawning abyssl
The Mortified Ned gained the side

unyielding. 1t was by slow process
that he arrived at the truth Years
before his uncle had saved the life
of the son of the half breed. He never
forgot it. Later in a cowardly way
Burke had killed the son. Retribution

Zerata had followed Ned and Burke,
