THE COW-BOY'S INSTITUTE.
AVory Readable Article on the Subject
from Bill Nye.
No one can go through the wide terri-
tory of Montana to-day without being
strongly impressed with the wonderful
grow Hi of the great cattlo growing and
grazing Industry of that territory. And
yet Montana li hut llienorthtrn eitrcm
Ily of thu great grazing belt which lira

cnorllito the Mexican border on the
onhi extending eaitHatd too aa far aa
tho arable lands of Dakota Nebraska
and Kantat.
Montana at this season of the year Is
iho paradise of the sleek high-headed
2-j ear-old Texas steer with bis tall over
the tlaih-board aa well as the slock
yearling born on the range beneath tho
glorious mountain sky and tinder tho
auspices of round-up No. '21.
I do not say this to advertise the ttock-
growing business because It Is already
advertised too much anyway. So many
millionaires have been made with "free
gratt" and the early-rlslrg. aulomatlo
branding-Iron that every man In the
United Stales who has a cow that can
stand the Journey teems to be about to
take her weat and embark In business at
n cattle king.
Hut let me warn the amateurcow man
that In the great grazing reglona It
takes a good many acres or thin grass to
maintain the adult tteer In affluence tor
13 months and the great pastures at the
base or the mountains are being pretty
well tested. Moreover I believe that
these great conventions or cattlemen

unes are naturally auve rtiseu win tenu
o overstock tho ranees at lsst and
rounder the goose that now lays the gol
den egg. This or course. Is really none
oi my business mil n i man i now nou
then refer to matters that do not con-
cern ine 1 would be regarded as reticent.
My Intention however. In approach-
ing the great cow Industry which by
the way is anything but an Industry
being in fact more like the seductive
manner whereby a promlsory note ac
quires two per cent per month without
even stopnlnir to spit on Its hands was
to refer Incidentally to the proposition
or an English friend of mine. This
friend seeing at once the great magni-
tude of the cow Industry and the neces-
sity for more and more cowboys has
suggested toe tuea ot ettauiisning cow-
boys' college or training tcbool for self-
made young men who ilt tire to hecomo
accomplished. The average English-
nan mil most aitvajs tiling oi some-
hlng that nobody elte would naturally
lilnk of. Now our cattleman would
ve cone on for years wltli lilt great
tteer emporium without thinking ores-
laotisning an insiiiiiiion wuereapoor
boy might go ami learn to ropo a fotir-
ear-oiu in sucu a way as to turow
lm on his stomach with a sickening
thud.
Diit now that the Idea has been turned
loose I shall look fonvanl to the time
wiiett weaiuiy men wno nave ueen in
the habit or dying and leaving their
money to other Institutions will meet
wllh a change of heart and begin to en-
the cowboys' college and the Mav-
rick hotbed of bronco sciences.
We live In an nee of rapid advance
ment In all branches of learning and
people who do not rite early In tho
morning w 111 not retain their position In
the procession. I look forward wllh
confidence to the day when no cowboy
will undertake to ride the range with-
out n. diploma. Educated labor Is what
we neeu. uowuoys wno can ten you in
sclentillo terms why It Is always the
blireest steer tnat eats "nlceon weed"
In the spring and why he should
swell up and bust on u rising Chicago
market.

when In the holster of the cowboy we
will find the Iliad Instead ofthe kOllad

Independence was signed on March 'J
1M10 but the patriots in the Alamo knew
nothing of It they having been besieged
since February il and they were jet
lighting for the Mexican Constitution

Another Mining Horror.
WiiEti-txii V. V. January Si Ad-
ditional particulars of yesterday's coal
mine explosion at Newtutrg have been
received. From present nppearanoes at
least Si lives nnd In all probability 10
more have been sacrlllced many of the
dead being most respected citizens. At
the hour named whllo the day shift of
miners wero nt work In the mine which
Is located near the outskirts of town
the air was suddenly reat with a most
tremendous explosion from the deep
shaft or the colliery. A dense cloud or
mingled smoke and vapor arose liOO feet
in ine air. a ruin was at once mane ror
the mouth or the mine. In n moment
hundreds or citizens had congregated
about the shaft their faces filled with
consternation and alarm. The sound
was heard 10 miles away.
It Is now supposed that .17 men wero
Imprisoned and the prevailing opinion
Is that all are dead although a few min-
ers express u hope that some of them
may uavo esoapeu tuo eiiects or mo ex
plosion'. The slope where Ihe aocldenl
occurred Is but two years old and Is

Baby Kitting.
"Don't You Dare to Kiss My Ilaby" Is
the title ot the latest piece of alleged
original poetry that has started on 11
rounds. Tho bard sets forth In emphat-
lo language the dangers of the practice
of baby kissing. The communication of
rontaglous(llsease by kissing so often
the subject of warnings against farewell
kisses of the dead. Is the climax of tbe
poem The young and tender years ot
babies make them peculiarly liable to
danger from diseases which may be
transmitted by kissing. If foad mothers
will only take tbe hint and refuse to let
people kiss their babies unless they have
a special right to do to.lnttead of urging
people to Uss them. It would be a great
relief to Presidents and candidates for
other omces all of whom expect to be

"Do you know the very latest thing la

"No" salrl I "Iftlicro are new crimps 1

"Well I don't know whether 1 ought to

about these things. It II English you
kiow and Is certainly new to me. Do
you tee that pretty blonde over there In

In the direction the Indicated and saw
several pretty blondct and laid so but
she finally designated the particular
one meant. "Hell" said "what
It the new racket?" "It Is gar-

now thing In garters and when I say It
Is English I mean It was brought over

to know that young ladles as well as
married people wear garters. I know

generally wear them 1 understand also.
The English minister wears one outside
his pantaloons on ono leg you know.
This Is a neat concern In colors to suit
the fancy or wearer and is worn above
the left knee. It Is put on on New
Year's Day and worn continuously on
the theory that the wearer will be mar-
ried before the year Is out. If she takes
It oil It breaks her luck. Now that young
lady oyer there has a very pretty neat
yellow garter of tine wool ami she has
distributed a number of various colors
