AMERICAN SADDLES.
Some Gems Of Art Turned Out 10 tf
Fur West.

Some Gems of Art Turned Ont 10 the
Fur West.
All over North America for many
years Cheyenne saddles have been IN.
nous, and every equestrian outside Of
the United States cavalry and of the
Northwest mounted police Of Canada,
has either had his horse trickcd out
with Cheyenne leather. or has wished
he had. The fancy work on saddles,
holsters and stirrrnp hoods, that once
made Mexican saddlery famous and ex-
pensive, long ago was copied by the
Cheyenne makers, who kept up the
fame and beauty Of American horse
tnppings, but made them 50 cheap
as to be within the means Of most
horsemen. In the old days when West.
ern cattle ranged all over the plains
and the cowboy was in his glory. that
queer citizen would rather have q
Cheyenne saddle than best girl. In
fact, to be without Cheyenne saddle
and first-class revolver was to be no
better than the sheep hcrders Of that
era.
When the writer was In Cheyenne
the other day the first places he looked
for were the saddle-makers' shops. He
was surprised to find only one snowy,
flrst.class store of the kind, and, instead
Of there being crowd In front Of 1t,
there was no sign Of more business
than was going on at the druggists
near by, or the stationer's over tho
way. The goods displayed In the win.
dows were beautiful and extraorlinar ~.
There were the glorious, heavy, hand.
stamped saddles; there were the huge.
cumbrous tapaderos; there were the
lariats or ropes; the magnificent bits
that looked like Moorish art outdone.
and there were mule SINNERS and tho
fanciful spurs, and, In short. the win.
dowy formed museum Of things that
a cowboy would have pawncd his soul
for. The metal work was all such rs a
cavalryman once declared It, 1.-THE most
elegant horse jewclry In creation"
Englishmen md Germans now buy
the fanciest and best trappings to send
abroad to their homes. Handicapped
