BILL M'DONALD'S HAT One Thing the Famous Texas Jlero Is Afraid of Doing. ; . Tld rou ever notloe that a western man objects to being separated far from his hair Inquired a eltlsen who In the years gone by lived upon a Texas tench. "I can tall a weatera man al most ae soon as I see him by the way he handles and treats his hat ' "I mean the real westerner the man who has served his time punching eowe and following the roundups. I don't care bow long a man has been away from the range region of Texas, or Kan sas, or the Dakotae, he never loses his hat habit The average cowboy and ranchman takes more' pride In hie hat than in any other article ef his appareL This trait of character muat have been absorbed from the Mexicans, who will spend their laat 40 for a gold-braided, high-pointed sombrero, even If they have to wear sandals the remainder of the year. "This applies act only to the wide brim sombrero style but te the derby ae well. A cowboy thinks nothing of par Ing IS for one of those big whit bats. Perhaps It Is the value of the haV that eauaes Its owner to cling olose to It "At any rata, the hat and the man are never separated more than a. few feet I see thle faot demonstrated every day right here In New York, even in the beet restaurants. The hktrack may be ever so handy, but the man from the west carries his headgear in ' his hsnd and either keeps it on his lap or lays It close bv him on the floor while he eats.

Carefully folded and packed in ' a neat box, I was earned home by a fastidious young man, ' whose name I discovered to be John. It was Saturday night, and I was hung up in a dark closet, after being brushed and made ready for the morrow't service. Ui course, long oeioro mat time ray life began. . I grew on the back of a sheep that was one of a large fold. ' I was caught, clipped, washed, scoured ' snd packed to a big woolen mllL There I went through a lot of intri-, cate machinery; I was dyed, and when I came out X scarcely knew myself. I had become a hand some piece of gray goods, and waa envied by all of my com rades for my style and texture. - . I recollect riding for many miles in' a big box. I felt the . 1 , jolting of the train and the bumping , of the can. Then, to my great joy, I . , was released from my horrible con- finement , I was taken on a dray to the handsome display rooms of the . Columbia Woolen MUla Company. -I ; was. placed on a shelf, and then"! I said to myself. ."I will have a good, Wm-:T ' ! long rest.'.; -. , ' ,. . j . tiiha 'i. " But no. , The very next day I waa ' - , . . yanked down off the shelf, unrolled, and this young man. John, looked at me. Z looked at him, too, and I rather liktcT , him. I began to hope that he would select me. He passed .on; there waa such a bewildering assortment to consider, and - I feared that he would forget me altogether. Of a sudden he came right back to where I waa and said to the aalearaen: "I think this ia about the best partem you have. I will.' take it . - . - V ',l -v.'' : i - I was tickled pretty near to death. I saw them measure '- John and noted how particular they war about rt I thought ' again to myself. They will certainly make me look fine on -s;vtha young man." ' --., Then I felt the keen scissors, as they cut me to measure); X - felt tne sharp prior, of tne needle, as I v- was stitched together; I went through a s -.-big aewing machine. X noticed, the fine v Quality ' of thread they were using to make me strong, and the exceeding care th tailors exercised ia assembling the pieces ana max in g ma op into a suit ready to try on. . . - One day John cam Into the store and . X was fitted to him. X never felt so proud in all my life. I did my beat to help tha tailors, as I wanted to be the best-looking suit of clothes in Portland, X was doing all I could-to help out. John was well pleased. , X was bustled' back to tha tailor ahop, was ripped apart and put together again and manipulated until I waa finished. The tailors looked at ma with folded arms; tha manager studied me with critical eye; many customers came into tha store and admired me. But all were told that X belonged to another. So eight years ago this spring X vaas delivered to John and he paid for me. The price was somewhere between $20 and $40 X never knew fust how much. X know that X wag : worth more than $40. if I was worth cent. well, the next day waa Sunday. John arose eariy ana etooa looking at me as 1 bong in the doaet. Then he took me into the light, brushed off a fleck of dust, and, after grooming himself to perfection, he put me on. Ha actually stood in front of that mirror for an hour, smiling at himself and grinning so much that I was embarrassed. At last the breakfast bell rang. With state ly step, not in the least indicative of tha foolishness of a few minutes before, ha marcnea oown to tne table. Perhaps X am telling secrets, but I cannot resist Every one complimented him upon his appearance. 1 He went to church-Hnora compliments; he visited friends in the afternoon 1 more compU- , ments; he paid a few niore visits' irutha .1 eveningand still mora compliments.

One I re f rnember going to New York City 'with him. ; That a where I was when I was young. People there on Broadway, who knew John waa from Portland, were surprised to see him wearing such Up-to-date clothea. I helped John close up a big business deal in New York, also. -I ara not exactly worn out now. but I mesa John haa tired of me. He has bought many a suit of clothea of the Columbia Woolen Mills Company aince that time, and I am now a back number, but I have company. After eignt years, nowever, I guess John is going to pass ma up. '-r--r I stay on tha hook most of the time. During aw iiaiuag season usually accompany John on outings. In fact, whenever he haa any outdoor work to do, I am his bosom companion. ' X am still in the harneaa, although I am a little ahort in tha sleeves now. John grew pretty fast for a while. My old partner, the trousers, have gone out of commission. I shudder every day now for fear that I will either be made over Into a little suit for John's kid brother or ba handed out to some poor fellow who needs ma mora than joaa aoca. . ; ;.
