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.
I have seen them object to delivering up
their hate at the hat room in the hotels
of the country while they ere at their
meals. ' , - . -

' (Wrlttem In the Spring of 191-4)
Eight years ago I was pronounced finished by the Colum- .
bia Woolen Mills Company. 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.
At tha office next morning, wherever he
went, rt waa tna aama Aid atnrwt
-, via my, a never saw a mora Decoming suit. Where
-.-.Was I happy? Wall, I should say X waal '
I went with John to functions of every kind.
V I traveled with him to distant places. 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. . ;

tion, however; ' when John '
