AN OU TiU AMONG COWUOYS
(From the Knn?ns Farmer.)
The other tiny 1 rtent up Into my 700.
acre pasture to see my herd of Short
horns and to look after the fences a
little. After looking over my calves
of 189S crop, concluded thnt they were
as good as the 1S07 crop, for which I
secured, In spot cash, $40 per head at
weaning time, which "you know Is a
little Interesting."
Thinking the boys all over Kansas
wouUV like to know what we arc doing
down here "on the Medicine river," 1
took a few notes of this trip for our
old friend, the Kansas Farmer.
Nature was so kind as to make the
western part of our county (Darber) so
rough and hilly that a man nearly tips
over horseback riding on these hills,
that are too rough to be cultivated, and
I am glad of It, for nature's crop of
bunch and buffalo grass Is the best crop
that over was raised.
My trip was to Deer Head, twenty
five miles west of Medicine Lodge, then
to Sun City, on the Medicine rtver. My
first stop was with Peter Hovers, on
Cedar creek. He will pull a fellow off
his horse with a warm handshake and
take him Into a nice white house, shel
tered among the hills, with fields of
waving cane nnd Kafilr corn. The
hills are covered with a mat of buffalo
grass. One sees two hundred head
of Herefords and Short-horns, fat as
eels, and some bulls, which the owner
pointed out with pride, that he got.of
Cross at his sale, and they are smash
ing fine fellows.
Next I went to the headquarters of
our cattle Industry, Deer Head. I could
not stop and see all the boys, or I
Bhould not reach home In a month, but
I stopped with Mr. Gentry, who has a
heart as big as a church bell kicking
under his vest. On the morning after
my arrival he ran in from a little pas
ture his saddle horses, fat, sure-footed
fellows, and a call brought six hounds,
two trailers and four runners. Soon
We had our saddles Uglily girthed and
were oft for a whole day's ride In his
forty-mile pasture. We had gotten nice
ly started, when the trailing hounds
came out of some timber, baying, run
ning like the wind, on a trail. Mr. Ed
itor, If you want to feel your hair rise
Up and your horse bound oft after
those hounds, Just as I did go nnd see
Mr. Gentry. After a mile's run on the
trail, up Jumped Mr. Jackrabbit, and
then see those grayhounds of his, that
never fall to take in the game rabbit,
coyote, deer or anything. The thing
you will be doing Is to sock the spurs
into that horse's sides, trying to keep
up with the "band," who are baying
at every Jump. You will forget all
about publishing a paper, and every
thing else, until you see the hounds
close up on their game, and then the
dodging and the final struggle for life.'
Then, on we went. I saw 100 big
red three-year-old steers, got ifrom
bulls I sold him. Those 100 head are
worth $.',000 today, quick. Then on
among hills, where GOO cows and pretty
calves were lying; then steers of all
ages hundreds of them; then a coyote
race; then a stop at a cool spring nnd
a rest; then on to another, and It was
noon when we reached the south side
of hie pasture, and at 4 o'clock we
were back at his house.
The next morning I went with Mr.
Screnton Into his 7.500-acro pasture,
where we found his thousand steers at
home. Then we went on north, Into
Dole's and Shaw's miles and miles of
pasture, full of fat cattle grazing on
the hills, drinking out of cool springs
and creeks. We passed through the
3,000-acre pasture of Riley Lake, that
is filled with big four-and-flve-year-old
western steers, wild as deer. Here we
'are at the foothills of the Medicine,
Where our sheriff, Tonk Mills, Is lo
cated. His pretty Herefords covered
his pastures on the first bottoms of
the Medicine river. Next is George
Hendricks, who is building a big, fine
house on the banks of Bear creek. He
is never in his element unless he owns
a thousand head and trades, next day,
for 600 more, and then, next day, he
he Is sure to sell the thousand head
to some fellow; for George is a straight,
good cattleman and a splendid fellow.
"On to Sun City," way up on a high
divide, where some of our old-time
cowboys are sleeping. As I rode my
pony around those graves, that were
made years and years ago, I saw the lit
tle fences that had protected those
graves scattered down the hill, "by the
wind and the rain." I was there once
before, years ago, and such scenery!
Oh, it Is beautiful! And I thought I
Just pulled my horse off down the hill,
and I thought, when the final round-up
come we will all meet again!
Soon I was on Turkey creek, at Uncle
Dan Pierce's, as every one calls him,
who welcomes one and Insists that he
stay a month with him. He raises
lots of currants and grapes. He will
take you down In that cool cellar, all
shut up. You will come out and he
will set you down to a table loaded
with all kinds of fruit, and everything.
He did me. One Just gets fat there, he
has such a good time. Uncle Dan has
a 12,000-acre pusture full of cattle, and
the best draft horses In the country.
Then I went on down the Medicine
river to Mr. Heargls', who has a pas
ture six miles long and four miles wide
full of she cattle. I was at his house
nil night and had a nice time.
Next I went on to Mr. W. C. Miller's,
who Is located on the Medicine river,
one mile north of Lake City, In a lovely
big white house. We had a half day's
hard riding through his big pastures
four miles of pasture and fields and
looking over his 400 Herefords and 300
Short-horns, the fattest cattle I saw
on my trip. He has the all-round best
ranch in this country, or any other, for
he never has to feed a thing till Jan
uaryfrom the 1st to the 15th and
there Is timber In all his feed lots,
nnd water, too, He has one feed lot'
of 330 ncres, with grass as high an'
the fence, all In timber. There he keeps
his late calves and cows, and they lie
down In that big grass, while he lies
In a fenthcr-bed, happy, and he dont
enre whether the wind or snow blows
or It Is still. He told me he could sleep
In the daytime this hot weather, for
his calves grow Just as fast, as it is
all Kafilr corn and "raising cane" with
him. He Is all right, Just as hundreds
of our cattle boys nre here In the
"short grass" country, in Barber coun
ty. My article is too long now, for you
enn't follow me home, for I stopped at
many ranches that were so Interesting.
Come nnd see us, Mr. Editor. Go In
any direction and It Is Just the same.

How to Keep "Water Cool.
The man who expects to refrigerate
the world with liquid air has taken ad
vantage of a fact which the civilized
world forgets, or does not know, name
ly, the fact that evaporation is refrig
eration. Huge populations of the earth
have lived on Instinctive knowledge of
that plain scientific truth for ages. The
North American Indian, the East In
dian, and all aborigines of countries
that are at times excessively hot, hnow
how to chill water without recourse to
Ice, and the same process that does
that filters It without a filter.
When the water that all who lack the
advantages of progress In sanitation
drink comes often In the hottest
weather from ponds and streams that
lie in the sun all day, It Is, If not ab
solutely hot, at least tepid. It Is also
apt to be unclean. Your aborigine or
camper out, If he chances to be among
primitive settlements fills a Jar with
the dirty, warm stuff. Around and over
the Jar he wraps a blanket, and then
he sets the blanketed Jar In the sun,
having first soaked the blanket. Tho
water may evaporate so fast as to ne
cessitate wetting the blanket twice or
more; but In time the Impurities have
settled at the bottom of the Jar and
the water Is as cold as Ice.
Railway travelers In hot countries
hang porous Jugs, with wet cloths
around them, out of the windows of the
trains In the sun, on the same prin
ciple. As the natives of most of the
tropical countries eat little or no meat
there Is not the same difficulty In keep
ing supplies that we carnivorous eat
ers experience. But when they do have
more than they can eat at the moment
they partly cook the "Test. The fa
vorite way is to Jerk or sun-cure it, by
thoroughly drying. But most native
populations are so poor they could not
buy a supply of anything, and as they
could not keep It if they did, they
are to be envied for their humble con
dition. One would suppose that the absence
of means of refrigeration would teach
cleanliness In such communities. When
surplus meats decay It would seem a
natural Instinct to remove such In
stantly; but with indifference to perfect
cooling of beverages and food comes
Insensltlveness to smmells and all that
causes smells. Besides this, native
and by "natives" one mean, of course,
aborigines In a natmal state really
like stalencss and a condition of things
known as "high" or "gamey."
Not in game, for they never touch It,
but In butter and other ai tides of food
which to a European palate should be
otherwise. In India "ghee" Is a favorite
delicacy. Now, ghee Is a sloppy butter
made from buffalo's milk, and is invari
ably rancid. All the little native cakes
are fried In this rank concoction; and
Judging from the odors that float In an
oriental atmosphere, nearly everything
else Is permeated with It. But If Euro
peans do not like this, why do they go
where "ghee" Is?
If the richer class In an unlced com
munity decides to entertain Its alien
friends with champagne, that article Is
drank lukewarm. This may bring out
the fruity flavor, but It Is a nasty
drink. One well remembers an after
noon call on a Chinaman at Singapore
an Influential gentleman whose wife
showed great store of Jewels, drawer
after drawer of them and the refec
tion on that occasion consisted of luke
warm champagne, In tea cups, tea at
the same degree of Insipidity, and very
soiled sweet meats, which looked parch
ed us well as dirty.
To us It Is a deprivation amounting to
distress to go without Ice for one meal's
length. A house left twenty-four hours
In nn Iceless condition would almost dis
integrate, for here there are no porous
Jars, and worse than that, everyone Is
ignorant of the first processes of re
frigeration without Ice. It would be
worth while to learn a few expedients
for emergencies. One of these Is to
keep clean, coarse blankets, for they
will not only make a small stock of
Ice last twice the time, but are useful
In chilling water, and also In preserv
ing stores of all kinds. In a large po
rous jar wrapped with wet blankets a
degree of coldness Is attained that la
equal to an Ice chest for koeplng milk
and other perishables. So It Is neces
sary also to have a Jar. Chicago
Times-Herald.
Straw hnts which have lost their
pristine freshness may be easily re
stored to favor at home without the
necessity of a trip to the bleacher. Dis
solve 5 cents worth of oxalic acll in a
pint of cold water. Lay the hat upon a
Hat surface and sciub briskly with an
old tooth or nail brush. Rinse well with
cold water to remove every bit of the
acid, which otherwise would eat the
straw, and lay It out In the bright sun
light to dry, taking care to keep it In
a flat position.
OLD TltVDITIONS IN HAWAII
Upside the riches of soil and seen
ery with which Hawaii abounds, there
nre other stores of wealth which arc
also no less Interesting. Tho former
have received much attention since tho
net of congress added tho distant isl
ands to our domain, tho latter has re
ceived none. We refer to the wealth
of tradition In which Hawaii abounds.
The name of these trndltlons Is legion.
Every nntlve of Hawnlt has a store
which he dispenses with a lavish hand,
lie clings to them with a fondness that
Is strange to the foreigner, though they
no longer hove nn Important effect on
hla rules of conduct. Told with the
zest of a native, they are enchanting,
nnd even when recited by one who does
not thrill with the same enthusiasm,
they are most interesting.
Among the many traditions nnd
myths ono of the mest romantic Is
known ns the "Helen of Hawaii." The
famous story of Homer Is no more en
tertaining than that of the beautiful
Hlnn. Long before the white people
were known In Hawaii, If we nre to be
lieve tho tradition, there lived a migh
ty chief at Haupu, Molokal, who had
built himself a great fort or castle. He
Was a native or "original Inhabitant,"
nnd hated tho Polynesians, who were
pouring Into the lower Islands and over
running them.
From all accounts this chief, whose
name was Kaupeepee, was a bucca
neer, who plundeed other chiefs and
Islands Indiscriminately. There lived
at Hlla a chief named Hakalaulloo, who
had a wife nnmed HIna, said to bo the
most beautiful woman in the world.
Hakalaulloo was an enemy of Kau
peepee, and when the latter had heard
of the charms of Kakalaulloo's lovely
wife, he determined to abduct her nnd
carry her to his stronghold. First ho
set out to Hllo in disguise to Bee with
his own eyes if she was as fair as rep
resented, and was smitten at the sight
of her.
With some of his most skillful sailors
and buccaneers he watched his oppor
tunity. After nightfall, while the moon
was shining, HIna, with her woman
Servants, repaired to the beach to
bathe. A signal was given, and a long,
light canoe, heavily manned, dashed
through the Burf among the bathers.
The women, with shrieks, ran off to
ward the shore. Suddenly a mnn leaped
into the water and seized the fair HIna.
There was a brief struggle, a stifled
screnm, a sharp word of command and
a moment later Kaupeepee was again
in the canoe, with the nude and frantic
HIna In his arms.
His skilled sailors sent their boats
flying through the waters, nnd in due
time his stronghold was reached. There
the pirate set about winning the affec
tions of his captive, and though she
had left a husband and two sons a(
Hllo, ho seems to have succeeded. HI
na's husband applied to his mother-in-law,
a sorceress, to know what to do,
but, as usual, the mother-in-law was
perverse and refused to give him any
further satisfaction than that his wife
was living. For fifteen long years Ha
kalaulloo, the bereaved husband, sought
his wife among the Islands, but In vain.
He began to despair, and finally ceased
to search farther.
Meanwhile, Hlna's two sons, Kana
and Nlhou, had reached tho stage ot
manhood, nnd determined to take up
the search where their father had left
off. It took two years for them to lo
cate their captive mother; but at last
they learned that she was Imprisoned
In the great castle of Molokal, and
with a large army attacked the abduc
tor's stronghold. They were repulsed
at first, but renewed the attack, and
Kaupeepee and his followers were slain
and HIna restored to her family. While
there was great Joy to her In 'he em
brace of her sons, It is said she wept
over the death of Kaupeepee, who, In
his love, had made light her long im
prisonment. Another interesting tradition Is now
known among Hawaiian legends as
"The Royal Hunchback." Traditionary
history represents nnclent Hawaii as
like ancient England, periodically over
run"by barbarians. The original inhab
itants of Hawaii were subjugated by
the conquerors of the south. Cedrlc
and Saxon never hated the Norman
conquerors more than Kamalole was
said to hate King Kanlpahu and his
Invaders. A chief of the invaders,
named Waluku won the love of Ka
malole's sister and secretly married
her. Kamalole found his sister loin
In the grass house of her husband and
stabbed her. The enraged husband
chased him to the presence of the king,
where they finally engaged in a duel,
and the husband of Tola was slain by
her brother, who also attempted the
life of the king, and, falling in this, es
caped and made his way to his district
In Kau.
Iola recovered and gave birth to a
daughter, whom she named Makea. Ka
malole roused his warriors in Kau and
attacked and overthrew tho king's
forces. The king concealed his two
sons, Tola and her daughter in a se
cluded valley and went to live In Molo
kal. He lived as a common peasant
and his tall form became bent with
care and hard labor, until he grew to
be a hunchback. Eighteen years pass
ed. His sons became men, and Iola's
daughter a beautiful maiden. Kala
pana, one of his sons, married Make.
Kamalole, proving to be a tyrant, an
gers the priests and common people.
The high priest sought Kanlpahu on
Molokal, and tried to Induce him to
come back to Hawaii and rouse the
people against the usurper. But the
kir.b- answered that he was old, hard
toll had deformed him until he was a
hunchback. He Bald he had two sons,
And told the nrlests where thev could
be found, and sent word to Kalapana
that he would surrender his power to
him. Kalapana received tho intelli
gence with Joy, nnd at once began to
rally the discontented Hawallans. In
two or three engagements he defeated
tho usurper and drove him Into Konn,
where tho principal battle was fought.
While the battle was raging furiously
thero BUdcdnly appeared nn old white
hnlred warrior who, notwithstanding
his stooped shoulders, was invincible.
Just as Kamalole was raising his spenr
to strike down Kalapana tho old grny
halrcd stranger stabbed him, and he
fell.
The battle wns soon ended, and
when Kalapana nsked for tho usurper,
tho old whlte-holred warrior pointing
to him, answered:
"Here he is."
Then Mnkca came to seek her hus
band, and finding Kamalole dying gavo
gave hltn some water out of a cala
bash. As the dying man drunk he
looked nt her and said;
"Iola!"
"No. Not Iola, your sister, but Ma
kea, her daughter."
With n look of Inexpressible hnto
on his features tho usurper died. Kala
pana became king nnd his father, the
royal hunchback, went back to Molo
kal, whero he lived and died In seclu
sion. About the year A. D. 1170, according
to Hawaiian tradition, Hau was king
of eastern Maul. He was a sort of rob
ber baron, vhose conduct wns censur
ed by the high priest, Lauhoomoe. Tho
high priest, who was a good man, could,
not brook the outlaw's depredations on
other Islands nnd kingdoms. Lauhoo
moe had two sons, Kaakakai and Kaa
nahua, of whom the first was tho Iiub
band of Oulolu, a beautiful young wo
mnn. He was to be a high priest on
his father's death. Luuana, the priest
of the king's household, was a schem
ing villain, and hnd his eye on the ofllco
of the high priest, and laid many plans
to dispose of Luahoomoe and his two
sons.
At last the king of Hnna, as Hnu was
called, determined to kill the high
priest. Luahoomoe learhtg of his design
sent his sons to live In tho wild se
cluded regions of Hnleakala, while tho
wife of Kaakakai lived in another se
cluded mountain. The high priest was
killed by the king, and while Luuana,
the newly chosen high priest, was tak
ing the body to the hclau for sacrifice
at the gate of tho outer enclosure tho
tall wooden cross Indicative of tho sanc
tity of the place, fell to tho ground. On
reaching the inner court the earth be
gan to quake, groa'ns issued from tho
carved Images of the gods and the altar
sank Into the earth, leaving a great
yawnlg cavity from which issued ilro
and smoke. The attendants and now-ly-mado
high priest dropped tho body
and fled.
From that time a drought seized the
whole land. The skies were cloudless,
the springs and rivers were dried up,
the people in Hana perished, and Hua,
the king, left tho country. Wherever
he went drought followed htm. He
wont to Hawaii and In Kahala died of
thirst and his bones were left to dry In
the sun, and the saying, "Rattling of
the bones of Hua in the sun," has come
down to the present as significant of(
one who defied the gods and persecuted
the priesthood.
The drought extended over the entire,
group, even to Ewa In Aahu. A cele-'
bratcd prleat or prophet In Ewa named
Naulua-a-Malhea climbed the Walanao
mountains to look for a cloud. He saw
none save a mere speck over Halca
kalalnmoul and knew that the sons of
the slain high priest were there. They
alone could bring rain, and he sailed In
his canoe to find them.
Oluelu, the wife of the high priest's
san, Kaawawal, had been most mirac
ulously preserved In her heme far up
the valley. The spirit of the murdered
high priest had appeared to her in
the night and told her that a secret
cavern contained an abundance of good
water. Kaakakai and Kaanahua were
found and Induced to offer sacrlfleo
to the gods. They did so and the clouds
gathered and the rain fell, the grass
grew once more, and the land was filllea
with plenty.
There are many other famous legends
and traditions in Hawaiian folk lore,
among which are the "Peasant Prince"
and "The Lover of the Goddess," but to
give them all would require a volume
of good size. These given are sufficient
to allow the reader to form some Idea
of the traditional history of Hawaii.
President McKlnley was recently the
victim of a "Joke" which may terminate
disastrously for the wag. It is said
that, he Is a real estate dealer of Wash
ington, but the municipal authorities
who are making an Investigation refuse
to divulge his name. One thing Is cer
tain, his first name is William. Last
Saturday a health office Inspector
served a written notice upon him to
abate a nuisance. The business man
was, tired of receiving such notices. The
next day an official-looking envelope
was received In the White house mall.
It was addressad "William McKlnley,
president, tenant of the White house,
Washington, D. C"
Inclosed 'was an oftlclai circular with
the inscription of the Washington
health department. It was properly
signed by the health officer and dl
rected the president to abate a certain
nuisance. The original name bore evi
dence of having been altered, however,
to make It read "William McKlnley."
Secretary Porter Inclosed the envelope
and circular in a White house envelope
and sent it to the health officer. That
officer's attention was called to the com.
munlcatlon, and an investigation Is now
in progress to show to the president
that the municipal government was not
responsible for sending the notice to
the White house.

Decline of tho Duster.
A traveler by rail cannot fall to no
tice the decline ot the duster. Anfl one
does not need to he, as the man said,
a centenarian to observe this. In fact,
only thirty or forty years ago dusterB
wore commonly worn by railroad trav
elers. They were coexistent with tho
enrpet sack and the alligator-mouthed
allse, both now more completely passed
away than the duster Itself, and al
most as completely gone as the hair
covered trunk.
The duster In Its arlglnal form was
built of brown linen, which, when
starched, stood boldly out like a gar
ment of thin and flexible, but not too
flexible, sheet metal. It was worn, of
course, to protect the wearer and his
garments from the dust. When the
linen duster flourished locomotives
burned wood, tracks were sand'-bal-lasted
and rails were light, cars were
not vestlbuled or provided with dust
screens for the windows, and the time
required to cover a given distance was
far greater than now. A duster was
far more needed then than now, and it
was likely to be a part of the equipment
of the casual as well as ot the regu
lar traveler. Indeed, it may be said
that the casual traveler would scarcely
have thought that he had made a trip
by rail unless he had provided himself
with that Indispensable part ot every
traveler's equipment
Prim and stiff and sheet-Irony in ef
fect as tho freshly Ironed linen duster
was when first put on, It presented a
very different apeparance wjien It had
been worn for a time. At first, sat down
In on a day such as was then simply
called sticky or muggy, but which In
these fashionable modern days is called
humid, the duster seemed, later, despite
the weather, to be froze in. And these
creases, in apeparance like accordion
plaits struck by lightning, shortened
the garment somewhat They took It
up, and made It bigger around and
more bunchy.
The next effect came with continued
wear, when the starch was all gone out
of It, and the duster became Btrlngy,
And if before it had seemed to shorten
up and grow stout it now seems to
become lean and attenuated; to take
Into itsolt many little rolling longitud
inal wrinkles; to sort of shrink In on
Itself sidewlse. and to draw over length
Two little tots were watching the
clouds near the horizon one evening
when one exclaimed: "Oh, see the sheet
lightning!" Shortly after there was a
smaller flash from the same cloud, and
the other cried out; "Oh. and there is
some pillow-case lightning."
Ammonia Davie nudged Edith and
pointed to a bottle on the shelf. "Don't
smell of that," he whispered earnestly.
"It looks like water, but it's the kind
of stuff horneats or loadtd with."

Imagine yourself In a trim ocean
Bteamer, gently throbbing along over a
summer sea of indigo blue, ruflled hera
and there by little blue wavelets. You
are screened by taut-spread awnings
from a tropical sun In a clear sky,
and cooled by a constant breeze, which
blows so gently thnt you feel as If it
might continue unchanged forever, To
ward the south a long stretch of hori
zon Is hidden by a big Island, rising la
tropically green, verdure-covered ter
races to pllcd-up, hazy mountain peaks.
More fascinating than the Island ltselt
are the clouds piled above It, masses
upon masses of them, rolling and tum
bling and contending among them
selves. Great, dazzling white piles
awell higher and higher above tho
peaks, growing first iridescent with
beautiful opal tints, then an ominous
copper color, and llnally seeming to
burst asunder and send up whlta
streams far Into the blue of heaven,
like volcanic vapor. Along the moun
tain sides white fleeces drift like wlspa
of wool blown against a wayside hedg
while through tho valleys dark gray
streamers trail like damp and newly
combed hair.
Night comes on, and lurid lightning
rushes through these clouds, throwing
tho moon-lit sea Into pale significance,,
while from many other places on the
horizon arise fitful fires and flashes out
of smaller mounds of clouds hanging
over other unseen Islands, These light
nings all seem voiceless, and still your
ship speeds on through stormless wa
ters. ,
The big Island Is Cuba, and not far
away are the Bahamas. You are In
what might be called the cradle of cy
clones. Here nature Is calling Into ex
istence those dreadful storms which
rush away northward over sea and land
upon their ruthless and terrible courss
of destruction.
