Too Much, for the Cowboy. i The cowboys do not have any such ( fun as they used to have, but those who make their headquarters in this neigh- borhood have been enjoying themselves a good deal of late. Some time ago the boys had nothing to do for six months in the year. Now they are busy nearly all the time. First comes the general round -up, then the calf roundup, then ' haying, then the beef round -up, then the gatheringin of bulls and weak cows, endf. fetidly a winter feeding of hay. Many of the old-time cowboys in this • section resented the idea of leaking hay, and some of thein quitted the business in disgust when asked to go • into the field for that purpose. One of the dissatisfle:l members of the frater- nity was Alex Thebold, a•tnan who con- sidered himself one of the toughest on the range. Ile made a good deal of fun of the 'haymakers, and whipped one or two of them in fist fights when they undertook to reply to his taunt;.

The Average of Impoliteness. Exterior fairness does not always mean politeness. A man took a seat among the waiting in a barber shop of a Broadway hotel. There were four in the row when he came; and, after suc- cessive calls of "Next" had taken them all to chairs, he arose half out of his sitting posture at each repetition of the word. I said to myself that here was a modest, retiring gentleman. who pre- ferred to let ruder fellows get ahead of him than to assert his rights; and I marveled that such a foolwouldbe able to gain so good a livelihood as was in- dicated by his excellent clothes and healthy skin. At length my turn came about, except that he was still there. Again he came to an upright posture, gazed meekly at the caller of "Next," and settled back into his seat. 1 "It is your turn," I said. eAnd I don't thank you for telling me," he remarked, confidentially. "You've lost me a wager. I'd made a bet that I could lose my turn here ten times in succession, although half 'ris- ing every time.
