there are attractive and appropriate

topaz and these come in various artistic
designs for both masculine and feminine
wearers. The Washington seal mounted
with topaz is a very handsome gift
for man. Then there are fobs in
Egyptian style. but Egyptian motifs are
popular in all kinds of jewelry. For In
stance, one of the most artistic OF the
mems rings seen this fall is of antique
gold set with Spanish topaz in cabo-
chon form, the gold on each side of the

Egyptian goddess, Isis. One could al

in the world. This school is made up
of women who are to be found in every
part Of the great Western cattle coun-
try. Thev are dashin~ natural riders
who are as much at home in the saddle
as any cowboy who ever donned a pair
of snaps Many OF them take part
in the cattle round-ups and some have
even acquired fame as steer ropers and
branders. To such women a bucking
broncho has no terrors. Indeed, they
regard a "tussle' with one OF these
vicious animals as nothing short of good
sport. They are seldom thrown, but
if they are hurled from the bac'c of a
''bucker" they return TO the saddle and
never cease plying the quirt and spurs
until they have reduced the OUTLAW"
to submission.
A Woman "Broncho Buster"
Probably the most typical roper and
ploHSho DHStei Is MIS-. JACK Shines
of the Jackson's Hole country. Wyom
ing. Mrs. Shines is part owner OF a
large ranch. Her husband owns the
other part. Mr.. Shines is something of
roper himself. but he acknowledges
that when he has a particularly vicious
steer to brand or very obnoxious
outlaw horse to break he leaves the
heavy part of the work to Mrs Jack. As
for Mrs. Jack, she is proud OF her skin
with the lasso and in the saddle. She
says she took TO this work naturally
when she began ranching in Wyominng
fifteen years ago. She has plenty of
cowpunchers to attend to the work now,
but she loves it too well to turn over
TO hired hand. Consequently she di-
rects all the round-ups, and she has
broken some Of the most vicious horses
in Wyoming And anyone who has ever
seen a Wyoming OUTLAW on his ma
tive heath knows what this last state
lnent means.

and her cow-pony is trained in all the
arts that are peculiar to his kind. Mrs.
Jack has been known to rope and "hog
tie" a steer in sixty-eight seconds-not
far from the Wyoming record. She has
also been known to stay on the back
OF a bucking broncho until she bled at
the nose and ears. In spite of such a
tremendous punishment she stuck 20
the saddle until the OUTLAW" was sub
dued.
Just now the championship OF Wy
oming is held by Mrs. W. II. Irwin. of
Cheyenne. Mrs. Irwin. who is dainty
and petite, has never turned to cattle
roping and broncho- busting. but she has
ridden many vicious animals, and has
ridden them so we'll that she was given
a loving cup at the last Frontier Day
celebration in Cheyenne. There were
many contestants for the cup. but none
rode so we'll and so gracefully as Mrs
Irwin.
Miss Chessie Duncan and Miss Par
schal, OF Cheyenne, are skilled riders.
They are slightly more modish than
their sisters of the ranch and plains,
but they. too, declare that there is
nothing like the cross saddle riding.
Cherokee" Dora.
One of the best-known women riders
of the West is Dora Chiquita, of Santa
Rosa, New Mexico. Dora is a genuine
cowgirl, and she declares she was
brought up in the saddle. She is part
Indian. and owing to this fact she is
called Cherokee Dora by which name
she is known all over the Southwest
She performs many daring feats in the
saddle, and is leading figure at Chick
en- plucking" contests. For the benefit
of the uninformed it may be stated that
chicken plucking'' consists in burying
q chicken in the sand until only its head

and neck protrude. The contestants
then ride at full gallop. bending from
the saddle and endeavoring to grasp the
neck of the chicken as they pass at ex-
press train speed. The person who thus
"plucks" the chicken from the ground.
takes the fowl as a prize. Miss Chero-
kee Dora has been known to beat skill
thoroughly Southwestern sport.
Miss Bertha Fisher, of Denver, is an
other skilled rider. She wears minia-
ture of Buffalo Bill at her throat. and
her riding costume is a picturesque
cowgirl garb. She rides cleverly, and
her specially is shooting from the sad
die. She has several rife and revolver
scores to her credit. all the shots being
made from the saddle.
Promising Child Rider.
Those who know what good riding
means say that in few years Miss
Grace Matthews, q ten-year-old girl Of
Iron Mountain. Wyo., will some day be
the test of them all. This little girl
rides all kinds of range horses. and it
never matters TO her whether the animal
is saddled or not. She is one of the
most fearless and skillfuI riders in the
Western country, and there is not
cowboy in Wyoming who does not pro-
phesy great things for this little girl
when she gains more strength.
There are hundreds of other riders il
the West. however. whose riding would
be a revelation TO the average person
who has been accustomed to academic
ideas of equestrianism. They know no
saddle rules but those of nature, and in
consequence their riding seems to fit tbs
environment of plain and mountain.
And one and all unite in declaring that
the cross saddle is everything in sue
cessful riding.

"HE recent growth of cross-saddle
riding among American eques-
i triennes is not surprising to
Western women, who love the
saddle, and In fact there are many
horsewomen in the Rocky Mountain
States who wonder why riding astride"
has had such a slow growth to popu-
larity.
Ride Astride.
Ask the Western rider what she pre-
fers. and she will tell you without
hesitation that there is nothing but
cross saddle riding for her. She can
not see any utility in the side saddle,
and in the Western school of eques-
trianism utility always comes first. In
fact, utility is the basis of all Western
riding. There is not a thing in the cow
boys picturesque trappings that is not
absolutely necessary. he needs every
ounce OIL DldDhtl anu
carries, and naturally he has taken to
the form OF riding that gives the least
fatigue, and, at the same time, the most
natural grace. If the cowboy shortened
his stirrups and sat bolt upright, riding
school fashion, he would not last an
hour in the saddle in rough COW
country. AS it is, the long stirrups and
the limp and natural seat in the sad
die seem to make the man one with the
horse. Every move of the pony is fol-
lowed naturally and unconsciously by
the rider.
Learned Art From Cowboys.
II is from the cowboy that the West
ern equestrionne has learned her most
valuable lessons in riding. The cross
saddle and divided skirt have given her
equal privileges, and she has not failed
TO take advantage of them. There has
arisen in the West today a school of
riders that probably cannot be equaled

AN OPEN LETTER
TO SOCIALISTS
A Prominent Socialist OF
Washington Go. Speaks
Words of Wisdom.

The following letter has been ad
dressed to the socialists of Idaho by
j. Spencer Mccain, prominent
citizen of Washington county.
Cambridge, Ida, Oct. 20, 1902
To the Socialists of Idaho: This
is addressed to you.
The writer is a socialist-that is he
believes in most of the leading tenents
of socialism. We have not affiliated
with the political party known as the
socialist party: We have not fallen
out with those who have, and whenever
we can see that any good can be ac-
compllshed by party organization,
we. with the thousands of others, will
probably line up under its banner.
But in the meantime we are confront
ed with questions and interests that
we conceive to be of vastly greater
importance than the casting OF o
diminutive partisan vote in favor OF
of the socialist party.
The two great political parties are
in the field with tickets to be votec
for. who are supposed to represent
the political faith and. practice o
each party. One or the other o
these parties will win in the approach
ing election. We will either hav
