PAS8INQ OF THE COWBOY.

The passing of the cowboy from the
Western range 1 an lneritabl part
of our national derelopment With
the restriction of pasture and the In-
troductlon of fences the necessity for
guardians of our grating lands is fast
disappearing, and the erstwhile fan-
tastlc flgurs of the cowboy Immortal
ised In art and literature must go for
ever.
Those pioneers who hare lived In
the West for many years here vivid
recollections of the cowboy In his pris
tine glory. He was a pfcturesque per-
eonage, a terror of the frontier, and at
the came time a paragon of bravery
and gallantry. Humanity has nerer
had a more striking or higher exno-
sent of knight errantry than Is repre
sented In those men wbe rode the
ranges and guarded the herds. In the
storm which ln-rited stampede; in tbe'otner TnIo ln hl" utomoblle with
silent night beneath the stars, and -dur
ing the burning beat of day, the men
who sat in their saddles for many
hours and faithfully kept their lonely
vigil were heroes who may well be
Immortalized In verse and story.
The great West, especially that por
tion which Is given over to the cattle
raising Industry, owe It derelopment
largely to the cowboy. A a specta
cular and at the same time faithful
and necessary adjunct of lire-stock
production, this type of man stands
out in scenic Interest One cannot con
template the old-time cattle business

pearing. The civilizing tendencies of
tranquillity and progress hare rung

sustenance npon the range and lived
under the patronage of the ranchmen.

school was maintained, but no Indian
would attend. The few boys and girl
