Tiicro was nothing to rollovo the mo notony of "ntld life" In a clvlllzsd lo csllty yostcrd y. The cowboys roamed aimlessly about the inctosaro , pitched pennies In the shade ol their Un',0 , and straggled hard to pass away the weary moments. Everybody WAI In good hntuor except Sitting Bull. The great chief sat nlone in his tepee , rocking to and fro , In great pain , and nttoring ho moat dismal grcnna. Buffalo Bill vliitcd him about noon , and succeeded , after oonaldorablo ( rouble , In eliciting a foir tntalliglblo grunts in Sioux lingo to the effect that the old warrior wus nearly crazy with toothache. Miny moons ago , while crunching a buffalo atoak the old chief broke his tooth , and has berne the pain with stolid Indifference. A plato of tco cream made him fairly hetrl at Belmont mansion on Tdflday evening during the "Bufftloos" banquet , and yesterday his stock of pa * tlenco gave away entirely. "Big chief wants tooth pulled out , " said the Interpreter to Buffalo Bill. The cowboy dentist was aent for iu a hurry and SDon appeared with a largo pair of pinchers , which looked ai thouub they had done service before , cutting off horse thee nallr. S ttlng Bull was soon ready for the operation , flo ooonod his mouth and the dentist tapped a tooh with the htmdlo of the plucburs. "Ugh , " said the chief. "All right , " eaid thn operator. The old fellow's ' head was thrown back and the piucora touk good hold of lib rod gum" . "Ugh , " eald the chief. "Steady , " said the dontlat. A wrench and a pall followed ; the tout was filled with a lljnrlsh of brown arnn and buckakln-clad legs , turkey feathers and ear-rings. A series of blood-cnrdllug yells Ihnled through the looaly-ilapping door of eking , and tha dentist picked himself up out- eldo In a bidly domoralizjd condition. It was dangoroU ) to go near the old chfot'd tent until nearly G o'clock , when the tooth , becoming noisy cgaln , brought the Sioux chieftain to terma. The den- tiat was Bent for n second time , andcauio owearlng in fall cowboy atylo. This tlhio the operation was nucccasfnl , aud a great three-pronged grinder in the pin cers told of musule not vainly exertnd , "Yowl Mo b'g ' chief , " eald the old fol low , as ho looked at the tusk and spat the gore from his toothless gums. tlio Lariat. Prom n Montana Letter. I noticed a variety of lariatc with a round-np party , nearly oil of which were made o ! the very boat quality of hemp , wisted BO extremely tight that It was al most Impossible to untwist the strands , Others were made of cinew cords , and were very neatly braided , the onda or aaaolng parts being greased so nn to ollp laally. Their laaooea were about sixty or evonty-fivo foot long , ono-thlrd of ; which forma tlis noonc , and when owiug- I Dg It ia grasped a llttlo above the loop , 10 QS to prevent the anmo from clipping until launched through the air. The laj- 10 la swung over the head and left shoul der and back ever the right shoulder , n peculiar tarn of the wrist aa It beglno to eturn keeping the loop wldo open. When flying through the air , the nbcso akoa a ellghtly oval form , but romnlna ipcn and settles qnlotly aronnd the ob- .ect aimed at. McGalgau exhibited to methomodua operand ! of handling the rope , and some of hla feats performed in my prcaonco were not only executed with marvelous precision , but were also beau tiful to look at. The model cowboy is certainly au export In hia profession , per haps the best rider and lassolnt in the whcilo northwest. What Sloaaon la to billiards , McGatgan ia to his profession. Ono afternoon , whllo loafing around ho camp-fire on the Mustolaholl , HcGui- ; an and I got talking about the tklll ho had acquired in throwing cattle , and I lad little difficulty in poranadlng him to lot me into the secrets of his wonderful doxtoiity nnd actually showing mo.oomo nf the fine points of the business. Mounting our bronchos wo rode off hrough the sagebrush and out on the prairie , where numberless cattle were poacofuily munching the luxuriant buft'ilo grass. My friend had his beat lariat fastened to the pumnu-1 of the addle and Grit showed mo many fancy bo's ' , throwing the lasso from or to any joint , ever either ehouldor , behind or in Tont. Ho caught a tremendous bull by the horns , who looked up In surprise aud tarted offliko a a to am online , but the ' > ony bcstrodo by the cowboy planted his 'orofeot fitmly In the ground aud checked Mr , Bull iu hla mad ctreor before the latter got well started. The onrayed teer went round and rouml in a circle at i 2:40 : gait , the pony acting na a perfect pivot and turning slowly around with him ; but it was no use ; the ball was a jrlaonor aud would have remained so had not McGilgau taken pity on him endued uod the wonderful ring down the line , "ipon which the rope leaped frcm around he horns and fell to the ground. McGalgan remarked 'that ( t was no credit to catch a bull by the horns , for ho cannot bo thrown by them , and Is simply , lield as a prisoner , but the skill of throw ing a lasso is to pitch the noosa just in 'ront of au animal when ho ia going at ull gallop , so that at the next step ho treads into it. Bo tried it on another bull whllo both of our ponies were jump , ing along on a dead run. The old follow was going about ns fact aa wo were , but the fatal loop shot through the air nt a tangent , and fell , wide open , just in front of him , on the ground. The loft furs- foot plunged tquaro < into the circle , the rope was tightened with a sudden jerk and the ttoet rolled ever In the dust , aa cleverly caught as anything I ever eaw The broncho , ton , understood hla part of the bnslneea thoroughly , for ho bore at the right moment In the opposite direc tion , olao ho might have been thrown ln < stead of the ball , to which ho was much Inferior In weight. McGalfian also caught great big etoora galloping past at au ang'o ' by any leg I named. Not once wfs hla judgment at fault. The noose whizzing through the air in every direction went aa tree to the mrk as a bullai shot from a rifle. 1 was much taken with tbo fro3 and easy sort of Hfo experienced by thla ronuil-up patty , and enjjyed the trip and cimpitig oat oxperieuca so hugely tn&t I was alrnoat tempted to filvo up the pro- feaslon cf a scrlba and become a cowboy mytolf , but thought batter cf it next day , and , although I had lots of fan end enjoyment , I concluded that cowboy lifu must f'avo ' 1U dark as well aa ita bright , eunnya'.da.

Oh , buck away ! ycu have found your master ; for the struggle does not last long. The practiced hand , tha heavy spun , and stinging whip soon repeat the almost dally lesson , and with ouo last wicked aluko of tlio bead the wiry Mcftyusa" breaks into his ossy lope , nnd away go ho o and rider to their appointed station on the 11 ink of the great drove.

Gradually the prairie la crowed ; qui etly aud gently the nervous brutes uro crowded moro clojoly together ; two or thioo of the men gallop on ahead to the opening of the pisi , guarded by two cone shaped mounds like rodonbta thrown out to protect the entrance to the fastnesses of the mountains In order to head elF stragglers aud to tarn the leaders of the herd into the natron- trail that runs in be tween she high , tree-covered , rocky walls of the canyon : Sol so-o-1 gently calling , quietly aud patiently urging , the drivers bunch tbo horned multitude together into ono almost compact misi. Sjo-ol so ! gently ! gently 1 push , boya , pash in from both sides ; catb your horses : keep them quiet. So ! so ! drive slowly from the rest ; press on slowly , yet lirmly , until the bead of the herd outers the pass. Patten ! patter ! patter 1 tha ruining , confused roar of hundreds of hoofs strik ing the hard roadbed , a queer sound fill ing the air with a low yet penetrating nolso , like the falling of millions of hall- stones on dry leave. , not the heavy and abarp ringing tramp of iron-shod horse ? , bat a shuttling , soft , although distinctly marked muflled rolling' , something like that produced by the distant paasaga of a heavily laden freight train. Slowly , Ir resistibly onward through the wild can yon the frowning walls of sandstone and gigantic pines towering on ono side , on the other and below , rushing and foaming ever its rough bad , the river pushing forward like a stream of liquid lava from eorua vomiting crater , long draff n out In a crowded , dense column ou the narrow , winding trail , moves the mighty herd. A thick , emoko-liko cloud of yellow dust through which the sun light breaking lights up the tanslo of it borne , swaying and tossing in the dis tance like f jam creating the angry bil lows of aomo dark , storm-lashed torrent hovers above ; a heavy , sweetish odor fills the air ; and , mingling with the pattering rush ot the hoofs and the roar of thn stream , comes the occasional booming bellow of sorau frightened steer. Very slowly and cautiously the herd msvea on ; sometimes there Is a halt in 'ront ; those In the roar crowd up moro closely , very gently , and with soothing erica , the experienced cowboys urge thorn on again , It Is ticklish work , for a mo- uioutary pania may drive ecoics of them down the precipitous aides of the moan- aln. Already this morning an unlucky leer , pushed in a sadden panicky ruth of his companions ever the edge of the rail , has fulltm down into the foaming errant and been dashed to death on the aggod rocks a hundred feet bolow. Hid- ng slowly in the rear , look along the rail and over the backs of the advancing cattle up ths canyon ahead , Some limes . ' ho road descends until the stream llcka ho earth at Us side , fproading In little shallow poola across it , sometimes cutting through it , us it curves abruptly around some point only to recross it again fur ther ou. And now the canyon widens , end suc ceeding the high rock valla and great trees , Its eidca gradually merge into gently rising , gnsi-covered slopes ; the river , too , Is broader , its surface shining like polished silver , and betraying its on ward movement only by an occasional colt Hipplo and low lap-lap of the water sgalust its overhanging bank * , from which , breathing oat the sweet fragrance of the thousands of newly opened bads , the wild rose bushes bang down their slender branches , Away up the elopes , dancing and naddiog tholr pretty heads In the toft bretz , the Rayly colored wild flowers yellow end/lowers / , daisies , blao hare bells mingle tbolr bright hue * , melting Into one another on the distant round bill tope , covering thorn as with carpet of tbo eoftest velvet. Let tha herd move moro easily now , drifting elowly along , aud opening Its ranks a llttlo , so as to enable the hungry brutes to crop at the fresh juicy grasj as they go ; you have leisure to upon jour saddlo-bous and tuko n little lunch , cur In ponce , and a "flwig"of whiaky and wa'er , If you have any , Or you can light your pipe aa you lot your bridle fall on your caj-usa's neck , and lounge in your saddle , folding your arms and resting your elbows on tbo iUt , round top of tbo high poua- mol , keeping , however H watchful eye on your charges lott sotno adventurous two- year-old wander away Jrom the drove and loozo hlmtuU iu the deep coulees or ravines that , cutting through the rounded spurs of the hills , ran down to the edge of t3o tr&ll.
