REVELATION WAS TOO MUCH
Picture Of "Hollering Jones" at Fa-
vorite Diversion Caused Him
to Reform,

A well-known illustrator, who makes
interesting western pictures, once
made the acquaintance OF noisy but
good-natured cowboy who rejoiced in
the appellation Of "Hollerlng Jones"
In physical appearance this man was
typical Of his kind, and the artist made
several studies of him, both in re-
pose and In his favorite diversion OF
"hollering' Some of the studies were
sold by the artist to an eastern maya
zine. They showed Jones In his most
violent state.
A year later the artist again visited
the region. He was soon approached
by Mr.. Jones himself, bearing one OF
the pictures, which he had torn from
the magazine in which its was printed.
Pointing to 1t, he asked:
rs that me?"
Well" replied the artist, evasively,
Il got the general idea from you, OF
course. but"
"Oh, ! amt takIn' no offense," Jones
made haste to say. ITS all right; only
If it's me, say So"
III you put it to me that way said
the artist, Il can only reply that 1t is
a fairly good portrait OF you"
The men here on the ranch agree
with you So look Ike that when

all I've got to say is that Hollerine
