It-was the deathbed request of old Burk that his body be not encased in @ coffin until all was in readiness for the funeral, He wanted to stay with “the boys’ as long as possible. His wish was granted and the men who gathered in the bedroom and the big. sitting room adjoining talked over the‘days that now are only mem- ories, when the wax-taced figure, white urider the reflections of the lightS inthe room, was, indeed, the “best cowboy in the !and.”” Th ancient cowpunchers, all of bent and gray, discussed the ys of the country seventy years ago when Samuel Burk Burnett landed on the plains, a poor boy.

So Well did he succeed that thou- sands upon thousands of pasture acre- age was leased to the cattlemen at 6 1-2 cents an acre and the cattle in- dustry wus saved. That was thirty years ago. The Government ratified the agreement and it held good until the “big pasture’ of Oklahoma was cut into farms and the Indians went West. The friendship then initiated between the cowman und the Indian Chief lasted to the end and when Ger- onimo died he bequeathed his favorite totem pole to the Texas white man. A few years after the death of the chief Burnett was ordered from Wash- ington to withdraw his cattle from the reservation at once. To obey spelled ruin. So he went in person to the capital and inyaded the White House for an interview with President BURNETT INTERCEDED WITH GERONIMO FOR THE RANCH- ERS AND WON THE CHIEF'S LASTING | JENDSHIP, Roosevelt. The latter granted a six- months’ extension and another friend- ship was initiated to last until the death of Col. Roosevelt. Later Presi- dent Roosevelt came West to hunt wolves with Burn-tt. Burnett was the youngest man who ever handled a big herd over the old Chisholm trail leading from the Texas ranges to the railroad in Krnsas. On one of these trips his spare horses were stolen by Indians and, rather than kill his cow ponies, Burnett and his men herded their cattle on foot from Oklahoma to Abilene, Kan, On another occasion he had driven his cattle to Kansas City, Finding the market many points down, he refused to sell but turned around and drove the cattle into the Osage in Oklahoma, where he held them some months and brought them back to make a profit of $10,000. This incidentally was the beginning of his huge fortune. Burnett has been in a dying condi- tion since Christmas with occasional rallies when he would send for his old pals to talk about the ‘ranch days."” Helps for the Vacationist open just a bit—not enough to allow the dust to settle inside but just so there is a circulation of air.

Do you think he is just taking advantage of me or that he thinks | am too young? ‘What can I do to induce this m. to ask me out? DOLLY. Unless the young man has informed your family of his love for you he certainly is taking advantage of their friendship to make love sub rosa to their daughter.

He is a jolly fellow when he is in the company of the boys but whenever he happens to meet a girl he becomes melancholy. We fellows asked him one time why he did not care for girls and he replied that they were too deceit- ful, He went on to tell how three different girls had jilted him and how all of them had shown hie love letters to other men, Lately 1 have noticed him sitting by the window smiling and waving hie hand to a girl employed in an of- fice across the way. He has told me that he thinks this girl could make him happy but he is afraid Vd she might be like the rest. like to know if you could hi pal to reome this feeling toward girls. ANXIOUS J. E. Those very experiences with the wrong girls and the wrong men often help us to appreciate the right type of young people when at last we meet them, ‘Tell your young friend that many girls, too, have experiences with young men who fail to keep appoint- ments and in many ways disappoint them, but they still retain faith In the opposite sex, and when they do they always meet the right man. Do You Know—The Slave Market Copyright, 122 (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Oo OF those who feel that they F spend their days slaving on Wall Street, and for those whose wives remind them every evening that they are slaves to Wall Street, {t may be some consolation to know that there Was a class of people on Wall Street, two hundred and some years ago, who also slaved. The old Slave Market, used to be located on Wall, just a little beyond Pearl Street. Here the slaves, whose masters had no work for them to do, used to wait in order to be hired. While most of them were Negroes, there were some Indian slaves, many of whom had been seized when chil- dren for debts to the colonists. The New York Weekly Post Boy, which was the popular paper in hich women of those days read the ‘situations Wanted'’ when they need- od a servant, was filled with adver tisements of slaves for sale at the market place. After 1726, the Slave Market be- came known as the Meal Market. William Correll leased the ferry be- tween the city and the Island of Nas- sau (Long Island) and the country folk came to bring their meal, grain, and produce, Among the interesting yates for f0rrlage was one which gave the ferryman 8 eggs for every 100 carried to market. The women and girls of the day were highly displeased with this rate, because they had to unpack their baskets and spend much time with the ferryman arguing over the count. After the Merchant's Coffee House was erected, where the Federal Sugar Refining Company building now stands, and the aristocrats of the city passed to and fro daily, a petition for the removal of the old Slave or Meal Market was made, in 1762. The petition states that the market “occassions a dirty street, offensive to the Inhabitants on each side, and dis- agreeable to those that pass and re- pass to and from the Coffee House, & place of great resort."" In 1762 the old Slave Market was torn down, A pearch for the old site yesterday, revealed only one person on lower Wall Street, among all the present Yay “slaves of Wall Street,"* who could point out the exact spot where the old market stood. This was Abram Wakeman, the historian, No. 63 Wall Street, who for forty years has been engaged in the tea and coffee business there, and remembers many of the scenes which he de- scribes in bin History of Lower Wall Street and Vicinity,’ senslbititi an airtight compartment For the duration of the case.
