that the boys who are riding now are
"a lot of babyfaced cow-punchers

believe him. He forgets that once upon
time he was baby-faced cow-punch-
er himself; that the native heath of
most of the men who have sung to
their herds on a stormy night is in the
effete east. Because all who appear in
the roundup are not so old or tough

THE WESTERN COWBOY.
Although Many Changes Have Taken
Place, He In Still Strik-
ing Feature.

One hears deal of the passing of the
cowboy. The idea grows apace that
the cowboy is extinct. Because some
cause the "nesters" and the sheepmen,
the big rancher and the wire fence have
come into these sections, some people
who write would have it appear that
the cowboy is thing of the past.
AS a matter of fact, says correspon-
dent of the Butte Inter Mountain, the
cowboy is very much alive and in the
present. It is true he is not tough
and bad individual as he used to be
pictured, but all of him was not tough
and bad even then, 10 more than it is
to-day. 1t may be that greater changes
have come over the cowboy of Colorado,
New Mexico, Arizona, and the south
west than are realized here, but the
fact is that the Montana cowboy is
much the same happy natured, pic
turesque and reckless individual he al
ways was. Perhaps the fact that this
is still an open range country has some
thing to do with the result. Though
the open range it's passing it still is
here and the chances are it will not
be gone entirely for several years to
come. The roundups are the same as
IN the old days in Texas and the south
west, covering wild expanse of ter
xitory, all unfenced and belonging only
to Uncle Sam. True, the fencer. is
here, but in small numbers in compare
son with the number of cattlemen.
The Montana cowboy is not long on
fancy attire, broad sombrero, silver
spurs and the other trappings that
were the heart of the southwestern
cowboy. He is businesslike individ-
nal in his manner and his appearance.
but he likes wild ride as well as any;
ne can sit the toughest bronco that
ever was roped, he knows his business
down to the ground, and in his leisure
time he can make as much noise and
have as much fun as any man who ever,
rode stock saddle.
he does not use his gun any more
