EDITORS ARGUs:-In your issue OF
March 9th, appeared an article en-
titled: "A Sullivan hit on the COW boy
in which the author describes the ac-
coutrements of the Gov boy, in~terspers-
ing them with sundIy remarks in no
way tending to convey a very favorable
impression, to the unacquainted.
Now my friend when you condemn
the use of things which are either neces-
sary or very convenient, there is but
one conclusion at which | can arrive,
lie. that you know nothing OF what
you are writing, or that being some
what of q literary turn of mind, you
take an opportunity Of writing up an
article for the papers and as the cowboy
is a strange being-to you at least
take him for a subject.
Now for his formula" zone forty
dollar cayuse." My friend, are you
going after cattle on foot? That would
be just like a sheep-herder And so
far as the forty dollar part of it is con-
cerned, the forty dollar cayuse is the
rule in this country and not the excep-
ton. Probably you would want him
to take a twenty dollar one. "One forty
pound saddle" Did you ever ride an
easy-riding saddle? If you did, 1 sup
pose it was a five pound jocky saddle
strapped to a little wooden hobby horse
when you were at your mothers knee.

like a stomach pump" or would not
buck hard enough to cause you to use
Steamboat Wheels to keep in the sad
die. No, l don't think you know the
use of a "forty pound saddle" You
would not be enough of a coward"
to mount the "bucking cayuse." Yet
you do know the use Of those Steam
boat wheels, lie. to make a noise on
the sidewalk. Probably you want him
to take them off before he comes into
town or else to go around the town and
not pass through it at all. Now for "his
wearing apparel" "a broad-brimmed
Probably you want him to wear
= narrow-brimmed hat and a pair of
tooth-pick shoes. Then, those horrid

you look. Then that six !

whole business. Did you even take a ;

Now, 1 don't intend to defend the S
ctions of every individual cowboy u
ecause l know there are dudes, even o
4 that business. But do not condemn Il
he whole class for the faults of a few, n
as long as there are cattle there a
aust be cowboys. We might dispense i

There are certain classes of men who rt
annot see two sides of a question at

'ould be, that the next time you intend e,
write about the cowboy, pull a little tc
that wool out of your eyes, learn the a,
Ifference between the cowboy and p,
leep-herder. You have admitted that Il
