Gentle reader, we stand upon the
crumbling brink of a great cowboy
eruption from Eugland, Ireland,
Scotland, the continent and the
great orient itself. I do not think
that Buffalo Bill had any idea
when he started in to rehearse his
great society drama and horse
play, that it would so soon disturb
international relations and throng
our cactus forests and greecewood
vineyards with juvenile cowboys
from Greenland's icv mountains
and India's coral strands. If he
had he would have hesitated about
it. He is oilled for the Coliseum,
and already people from Lyrsilla
and the citron groves ot St. Lawer
ence county are coming intc town
bringing their dinners and hitch
ing their teams to the fence behind
the Coliseum.
Hard, preserved seats, I am told
are being erected around the
amphitheatre, and the Roman
schools are closed. Everthing
points toward a great festal day,
if that would be the right kind of
day to use in this place! Is it to
be wondered at that we will soon
see Roman cowboy?, who ought to
be in school, landing here on our
coasts and inquiring at the corner
of Broadway and Chambers street
where they can find an Indian out
break to quell? May'we pot look
for the Arabian and Chinese con
tingent by the next spring, armed
to the teeth and asking at an intel
ligence office when the Deadwood
stage is expected, so that they can
attack it and rob it a few times?
I saw one of those kindergaten
cowboys get off a train once and go
up through the town. Afterward
I saw him come back. He looked
different somehow. When he got
off at the station I noticed that he
had long hair, which was tied back
with a pale blue watered siln rib
bon. He had long legs, which
seemed to extend from Adam's
apple to the ground A narrow,
red four-in-hand necktie denoted
where the legs terminated and the
head begun. He looked real sweet.
When he took the return train hece'
was notliir.e by which to identify
hiiu except a strawberry mark,
which he earned carefully con
cealed in b shawl strap.
Boys who sigh to dash madly
across the plains or follow the cow
path to fame do no not kuow of
the dangers and desolation such a
life involves. There are two classes
.of-cowboysin the wesr, viz., the
working cowboy and the lay figure
cowboy. The latter remains in
town and rolls cigarettes, which he
smokes fiercely through his nosei
lie talks learnedly o-' entile brands,
corrals, round tips, "cawyards,'
ranges, bands, bunches and
herds. 1
mit doesut really know a
cow from n Texas st-vr.
range
Tli'd genuine,, cow boy is not al
ways beautiful, I nit he'isT cSxiver
sant with his business, knows every
brand in his district at least and
who owns it : is brave where brav
ery is most needed, that is, in the
discharge of his duty. To stand
watch all night in a blizzard and
hold a band of restless, bellowing
cattle from stampeding, to ride all
the next day half asleep in his
saddle, to fall occasionally fiom
his pony when the latter makes a
mistake and steps into a prairie
m village, or to have a collar
bone broken when fifty miles from
physician, are some ol the
atures of cowbov life which the
bovs who run awav from school to
cross the Missouri d not consider.
Moreover, it would be well if
every boy in American or elsewhere
would write in his own hat with a
blue pencil that there is no rose
Imrdered road to success, and that
even the man who is born beauti
ful and marries rich has to fight
his way. The grat west does not
so sorely need pretty men with
buckskin clothes as it does good
citizens who are willing to work.
Wherever the sun shines or grass
grows and wat er runs, the young
man who will g ve a good day's
work for a fair day's wages will
surely be promoted as he deserves
it. It may not be funny, but it is
the dying nut h that industry, in
tegrity and perseverance are mighty
good sulfetitutcs for symmetry,
