CHAPTER NEWS
(Continued from page 17)
And it would seem from the general
theme
'That no hard work is done.
But let me say, it’s not all play
And the romance can quickly go
When you freeze your feet in the wind
and sleet
As you ride thru the drifting snow.
I served my time in the dust and grime
At roundups in fall and spring.
When I roped and sweat ’till my clothes
were wet
I wanted no camp-fire sing.
Warm winds on the slope and all that
dope—
Yes, they are delights I know,
But take my share of the prairie air
When it registers thirty below.
You read accounts of the boys and
mounts
And you’d think their thoughts were
one;
That the horse would mind like a
trained canine;
But that just wasn’t done.
My own cayuse— how he’d cut loose!
And spill me time and again.
In retrospect I may love him, but Heck,
I didn’t love him then.
I want to go back to my old ranch

W ith the rattlesnakes ’round the door.
I’d like to stay for maybe a day
And look things over once more.
But the west can go that I used to
know—
Right here I’m spilling my beans—
I’ll take my fun with horses and gun
From the movies and magazines.

borate cloverleaf at the Denver and
Union Intersection near Vancouver. He

very fine time at their picnic on Au
