MI IKAR HAKE:
I JUST came hack
FROM THK WORLD'S greatest
Wru WlvST show and

rORTY-THRKK men and women
who took
PART IN IT, and that Included
ELEo'EN' SOUMERS who had best
fee In
KRANCE, for they couldn't ride a
goat.
AFTER THK PARADE the an
nouncer, ONE MAN ON A flea, bitten mare,
TOLD US THAT the
WORLD'S GREATEST SHOW was
due.
Jtirst OF AL.1, was to view the track
THET SAID IT was a, quarter mile.
BUT OF COURSE they lied, for It
SjOOKEII LIKE Moose HalL
AND THERE WAS nothing but a
emitter
TO RIDE AROUND and -ocks in
ft, too;
SO MATBE that's why the horses
COULDN'T RUN A lick and seemed
TIED TO THE RAIL or something
THREE "RATS' started and fin
ished,
MUCH TO THE delight of the "vast"
AUDIENCE who seemed to think It
WAS A WORLD'S record, it was
HOT EVEN FAST and I could run
PASTER THAN they did.
BULL RIDING WAS next and lasted
only
ONE HOUR and nothing going on
between.
IT WAS AS good as the rest and we
MATCHED NICKELS until It was
over.
MEN'S RELAV next and one man
was so far
AHEAD THAT he forgot when he
had finished.
THREE TRICK ROPERS exasper
ated us for

EXHIBITION" on an animal with
"HOBBLED" stirrups and said
mule
GRUNTED TWTCB and ran around
the track
AND BEGAN EATING GRASS; that
was all and
THE NATIVES SHOUTED with
glee.
THE BULLDOGGERS decided not to
play so
DIDN'T SHOW so we were saved
the pain.
WE THANKED 'EM and that was
the
BEST PART of it all.
VERA McOlNNIS showed the men
how to
TRICK RIDE and made the men
FEEL ASHAMED of themselves.
HERE WE LOST ourselves for want

MT NICKELS so we started to count
THE POPULACE IN attendance.
WE COUNTED by sections and had
the i
DOPE ON 'EM and called It 3500.
THET ONLY CHARGED us a dol
lar to
EASE IN so we treated them K. O.
AT THAT and they got all the edge
AT LAST the bucking was on.
BT NOW the people had started to
leave,
BUT WB THOUGHT this part would
be
GOOD and it was not!
FOUR MEN got up. and the mus
tangs REARED AND PITCHED for most o
WHOLE MINUTE and at last two
HORSES were saddled that looked
like
BUCKERS SO we got interested.
NO. 1 LASTED two Jumps and the
SECOND ONE hadn't come to
WHEN WE LEFT ten minutes later.
CAN TOIT PLAME us for leaving?
HAL CORBY" and two more from
good old
OREGON were with me so you see
it was
NOT ONLY ME that thought It
smelly.
BUT I'M GLAD I went, for it was
like
THE NUT that hit himself in the
head
WITH THE HAMMER because It
felt so good
WHEN HE STOPPED for when we
got
SAFELY OUTSIDE we were so hap
py that
WE ALMOST CRIED for Joy.
AND HOW we want to see a real
"ROUND-UP" and not like we have
on
SUNDAY AFTERNOONS on the
ranch.
AND WITH apologies to K C. B.
GOOD-NIGHT.
