REVELATION WAS TOO MUCH

Picture of “Hollering Jones” at Fa- ’ vorite Diversion Caused Him ’ to Reform.

A well-known Illustrator, who makes Interesting western pictures, once made the acquaintance of a noisy but good-humored cowboy who rejoiced, In the appellation of “Hollering Jones.” In physical appearance this man was typical of his kind, and the artist made several studies of him, both in repose and in Lis favorite diversion of "hollering.” Borne ot the studies were sold by the artist to an eastern magazine. They showed Jones in his moot violent state. A year later the artist again visited the region. He was soon approached by Mr. Jones himself, bearing one of the pictures, which he had torn from the magazine tn which it was printed. Pointing to it, he asked: “Is that me?” "Well," replied the artist evasively. “I got the general idea from you. of course, but—” “Oh, I ain't takln’ no offense,” Jones made haste to say. "It’s all right; only if it's me, say so," “If you put it to me that way," said the artist, '"! can only reply that it is a fairly good portrait of you." “The men here on the ranch agree with you. So I look like that when I holler, do I?” "I think you do.” "In that case,” said Hollering Jones, "all I’ve got to say Is that Hollering Jones has hollered his last holler. Hereafter, when I celebrates, I does so with a tin horn. In my own opinion, no man has a right to look like that—not round white folks, anyhow.” —Youth’s Companion.
