American Citizens.

In practice there is no such thing as
a citizen of the United States" Such
"citizen'' is about as mythical as the
mermaid. in order to vote. for in
stance. one must bring his citizenship
down to the concrete and become a
citizen of New York or of some one OF
the other states. You cannot vote in
New York unless you are Il citizen Of
the other states. The citizen of the
United States" is Il very vague gentle
man.-New York American.

declined he drew his big revolver and
ordered him up to the bar.
Little Jenkins eyes grew large and
round, and he took the drink without
further protest. Then he was ordered

obligingly complied. The fun lasted
nearly half an hour.
Got Out the Old Outfit.
Jenkins went back to the livery sta
bic and, raising the lid Of Il box in the
corner, took out his old cowboy clothes
and hat, shook the oats out of them
and put them on. Then he got out the
r%evolverS he had carried when he rode
the Oklahoma and Texas ranges and
oiled them and hung them in his belt
and also put on the old spurs. He
went over to the "bootlegger's' and
found the crowd still there.
The fastener recognized him, and
his establishment was great. Jenkins
ordered the drinks, and they all lined

hands and knees, while Jenkins sat
on his back and spurred him. He rode
him around the room, down the dust
covered stairway and out into the
street. AS the "horse" galloped down
the street on all tours Jenkins took
out his revolvers, and for a few Sec
onds there was q stream of fire from
their muzzles. A crowd gathered to
witness the disgrace of the easterner,
and the other men from the ranch
laughed uproariously.
Jenkins finally dismounted and went
back to the livery barn and changed
his clothes. But his victim couldn't
face those who had witnessed his
downfall, and he never went back to
the ranch, but took q train back to
New Fork.

RAN up AGAINST
A REAL COWBOY
Amateur From the East Had to
Pay For His Fun.
MADE WESTERNER Dance.
But the Latter Had His Full Revenge
Later, When He Had Got Into His
Old Time C'othes-Oklahoma Knows
His Abashed Victim No More.

~EVERAL months ago a New
Yorker went to Oklahoma to be
~ q cowboy long enough to recu-
lerate. After d visit to Texas
he located in Usage county, Okla.
The real. old fashioned cowboy has
disappeared from Oklahoma, but the
New Yorker didn't know it, and he had
provided himself with all the conven-
tional cowboy paraphernSlia, including
jingling spurs. He engaged on a cattle
grazing ranch near Pawhuska.
Cattle from Texas are brought into
Usage county to be graZed before they
are marketed, but very few cowboys
are required to herd them. They are
turned into big pastures inclosed by
barhed wire fences. The men drive
them out to the grass in the morning
and bring them home at night. This
was the work that fell to the man from
the east. Wearing a big sombrero and
with a revolver dangling in his belt, he
looked the part all right and in the
course Of a few weeks became a fairly
good rider.
"Took In" All the Yarns.
Being with the cattle SO much and
with the other cattlemen, he absorbed
cowboy stories as a sponge takes up
water.
Occasionally the men on the ranch
went to pawhuska, the nearest town.
and took Il few drinks. The tenderfoot
went along with them and experienced
all their joys and SORROWS, including
the drinks i'll the ''bootlegger' saloons.
One Of the residents Of the town is
Pete Jenkins. who used TO be Il real
cowboy, but is NOW the half owner of
a livery stable. He is small of stature
and bowlegged.

men from the ranch We're in one of
the "hootlegger' places when Jenkins
came in. The first named had just call

vited Jenkins to Join them. Jenkins
politely declined. He knew the other
boys and winked at them. The stran-
