The Plains in the day of the cowboy are well described in Emerson Hough, Passing of the Frontier ; Emerson Hough, Story of the Cowboy ; F.L. Paxson, Last American Frontier ; and F.L. Paxson, "The Cow Country," in American Historical Review, Oct., 1916. N.A. Miles, Serving the Republic , contains reminiscences of Indian conflicts.
Let us suppose a case just to illustrate the matter, thee understands. Let us say that Friend Paxson a widower, thee knows had a daughter Mary, who had well, a nice little penny in her own right, and that thy son Alfred desired her in marriage.
Deane could shelter himself behind Friend Paxson and the imaginary daughter, but the applications came personally home to him. His old patience had been weakened by his isolation from the world, and his habits of arbitrary rule.
"Then thee sees, Friend Barton," Dr. Deane continued, "that the case is precisely like the one I supposed; and what I would consider right for Friend Paxson, would even be right for myself.
Friend Paxson, as a prudent father, knowing his daughter's portion, both what it is and what it will be, he would naturally wish, in Mary's interest, to know that Alfred would not be dependent on her means, but that the children they might have would inherit equally from both.
Now, it strikes me that Friend Paxson would only be right in asking thee what thee would do for thy son nay, that, to be safe, he would want to see some evidence that would hold in law. Things are so uncertain, and a wise man guardeth his own household." The old man laughed until his watery eyes twinkled. "Friend Paxson is a mighty close and cautious one to deal with," he said.
PAXSON, Professor of American History in the University of Wisconsin, has devoted a volume to shew that while the South was defending an impossible cause, it could not hold different views that these were the unavoidable result of environment and natural resources. How different is all this from what the N. Y. Times lately reprinted from its issue of April 17, 1865.
"'The public buildings at Broad and Market streets were, in the words of Judge Paxson, 'projected upon a scale of magnificence better suited for the capitol of an empire than the municipal buildings of a debt-burdened city. Yet this act was declared constitutional, the city was compelled to supply the necessary funds, and 'for nearly twenty years all the money that could be spared from immediate and pressing needs' was 'compulsorily expended upon an enormous pile which surpasses the town halls and cathedrals of the Middle Ages in extent if not in grandeur."
