CONGRESS ASKED TO ARM
 AND TRAIN BOYS FOR WAR
Movement to Supply Them With tho
 334,o00 "krags" on Hand.

A concerted effort will be made in congress by friends of rife practice to secure the enactment of law to permit the secretary of war to issue old "Krag' rifles. with ammunition, for use by rife clubs organized throughout the country under the rules of the national board for the promo tion of rife practice. The proposed law also will be designed to permit the issuance of similar ordnance supplies, not of the existing service model and therefore not necessary for the main tenance of the proper army reserve supply, to schools having a uniformed corps of cadets and carrying on mill tary training.
 The ordnance department of the army has on hand about 100000 model 1898 3O-caliber magazine rifles,. popu- larIy known as the Krng. and 34.OOO carbines available for issue to rife clubs.
 Under the proposed statute forty rounds of ball cartridges suitable for the rifles issued would be allotted for each range at which target practice is had, the total not to exceed 12O rounds year for each one participating in the practice. Supplies would be issued to regulations prescribed by the secre- tary of war. insuring the desired use of the property as we'll as it's proper care and it's ultimate return to the fed eral government.
 War department officials agree that the training of the youth of the conn- try is fundamental principle of na- tional defense They declare that. al though this principle is universally rec ognized the United States is doing less than any other nation to instruct it's boys and young men in the use and knowledge of firearms.
 Lieutenant Colonel John T. Thonp- son of the army ordnance department. representing Henry $. Breckinridge. assistant secretary of war, on the ex- ecutive council of the National Rifle association. suggests that if boys in the public schools once became inter- ested in rife practice they would con- tinue it in the higher schools or in civilian rifle clubs. Often. he says. they continue rife shooting in the na- tonal guard. and so the proper promo. tion of these rife clubs will indirectly be a great help to enlistments in na- tional guard organizations.

The Cowboy as He Was.

Fallacies have got into print about the cowboy as class, and have be- come popular; specters have been raised that should be laid. A gun he owned; great big six-chambered .45 Colts, which he called cutter" and could use to good purpose on objectionable animals from snakes upward, generally holding it with both hands when he aimed, and often dropping on his knee to shoot. He did not, however, make regular practice of carrying it. Commonly it reposed in his blanket roll in the wagon, whence it might only be pulled out when there was possibility of question rising as to the ownership of a brand. Were a census of the pocket pistol taken today in sundry corners of the states, il would be found that the concealed weapon is nearly as much affected there now as it was on the wild prairie.
 Neither was it customary thing for him to get uproarious in the lit tie towns he visited, shooting them full of rat-holes and interfering with the lighting system, perforating hat crowns, and the heads inside if the hat was snug fit, etc. Sometimes he came, he saw, aud he just went away again. He could, and did, drink at times freely, but it was often the lager, that filled without flooring or frenzying.
 Western cattle ranching goes on today in modified shapes and forms, in various districts between the, Yu- kon and the Rio Grande. It has been upon the steady decline, of course albeit the COW herself, these days, has, scared in price-night over the moon, oldtimers probably think. It used to be the saying, "cnce punch CT always a puncher," and indeed it was a we'll known thing that man who had followed the long-horn COW and rambled her ranges was apt to drift back there. Even city-reared men would do so.-Blackwood's Magazine.

South American Would Have
Niagara Make Cheese for World
IN The United Presa.

/ BY The United Press.
+, NIAGARA FALLS. Ont, June 81
Make it possible for Niagara Falls
to manufacture enough cheese to sup
ply the world That is what Jose
Seryent, connected with the Argentine
Embassy in Washington, would do.
Every time Senior Seryient looks uoon
the tons upon tons Of water pouring
over the famous American and Cana
dian Falis he has a new thrill and a
new idea of what Niagara Falls might
become If all of the water power from
the roaring falls we're harnessed and
put to work
+ AS all the South Americans here
following the Mexican mediation con-
ferences are enchanted by the Falls.
so is Servent He looks across the
river and the rising mist the waters
plunging from their great height and
is enraptured. Outside OF being the
the champion cheese town Of the
world, Seryent believes the city would
become as big as London were the
Falls harnessed.
1T is wonderful" Servent declared
over and over again ais he looked upon
the Falls Greater than London the
city might become If the power we're
used, London would be proud. so
proud to see a city like that grow up
over here And, cheese, cheese, ah--
enough TO supply the world"
Senior Servent's reference to Mag
ara Falls, Canada, as cheese city
is along slightly different lines from
remarks that have come from other
sources. There is only one place
where a victim OF the mediation con
ference may feel at home and in his
element in this section That is on
Goat Island" Whether there were
ever any goats on Goat Island does
not enter into the question, but when
a squad of Americans is seen there
it may be taken that for the time be-
ing the island is we'll named
Some one suggested that they do
not employ clerks, bartenders. cal
drivers or other such persons in this
part of Canada. They get only expert
appraisers. Look EN- over rand get
all you can, is the motto. From early
morn TO dewey eve the chief sport
pastime and amusement is trailing
some American coin In his lair and
transplanting to a Canadian strong
box.

evidently got the hang OF the Cana
