He "Hollered" NO More.

On one of his trips to the west Frederic Remington, the artist, made the acquaintance of a cowboy who was called by his associates Hollering Smith. In appearance the man was typical of his kind, and Mr. Remington made several studies of him, both In repose and when In his favorite pastime of "hollering.” Later, when back In his studio, the artist embodied a rather close portrait of the exuberant Smith in several drawings for a magazine, most of them showing him in a state of eruption. A year after Mr. Remington again visited Smith’s neighborhood and on the afternoon of hlB arrival was approached by that worthy himself bearing one of the pictures torn from the magazine. Pointing to the central figure, he said: “Say, is that me?"

“Well,” replied Mr. Remington guardedly, ‘‘l got the Idea from you, of course, but”— ‘‘Oh, It’s all right,” broke In the man. "No offense. If It's me Just say so.”

“Well, yes; It’s a fnirly close portrait of you.” “That's what the boys at the ranch said. I look like that when I holler, do I?”

“I think you do." “Well,” said the man as he slowly returned the lens to his pocket, “If that’s the state of the case, then all I’ve got to say Is that Hollering Smith has hollered the last holler that he’ll ever holler. Hereafter when I celebrate I blow a tin horn, you bet! I don’t consider that no man has a right to look like that, not around amongst white folks nt least.”—Saturday Evening Post.
