Theodore Seotuavelts Pen Picture of a Class That Will Seon Pass Away. - Singly, or in twos or threes, they gallop their wiry little horses down the street, ther lithe, supple figures erect or swaying slightly as they sit loosely in the saddle, while their stirrups are so long that their knees are hardly bent, the bridies not taut enough to keep the chains from clanking.- They.are smaller and less muscular than the wielders of ax and pick; but they are as hardy and th beonmed;- set" figee, and" keen eyes that 4 ali the world straight in the face with- out flinching as they flash out from under the broad trimmed hata. Peril and hardship and years of long toil, broken by weeks of brutal dissipation, draw haggard lines across as gtmengt faces, but never dim their reck- Joss éyes nor break their bearing of defiant self-confidence. They do net walk sweil, partiy | hecause they so rarely do any werk out the saddle, partly because their chaperajos, or leather overalls, hamper them when on 'the ground; but their appearance is striking for al] that, and picturesque, too, with their jingling spurs, the big revolvers stuck in their belts, and bright silk handkerchiefs knotted loosely round their necks over the open collars of flannel shirts. When drunk on the vil- lainous whisky of the frontier towns they cut mad antics, riding their horses into the saloons, firing their pistols right and left, from boisterous lightheartedness rather than rom any viciousness, and indulging too often in deadly shooting a brongbt on either. by the accidental contact of the moment or on account of some nese standing grudge, or per! bad wlood between two such sprees they Are quiet, rather self con- tained men, perfectly frank and simple, and on their own ground treata stranger with the most whole souled hospitality, doing all in their power for him and scorning to take any reward in return. -- Although prompt to resent an injury, they are not at all apt 'to be rude to outsiders, them with what can almost be called 4 grave courtesy, They are much better fel- lows and pleasanter companions than small farmers or agricultural laborers, nor are the mechanics and-workmen of oe city to be mentioned in the = breath. --Theodore Rooseveit in The Centur: Washington's Habits, He was very simple in bigs Jomestic habits, often in midwinteras 5o'clock.
