DOGMA AND THE COWBOY.

An Eastern divine journeyed into the
West recently for the purpose of con-
verting the cowboy. He was assured
that if he avoided subjects purely Sec
ular and stuck to dogma his errand
would be not only safe but pleasant
Across the Western border of one of
the Dakotas he met a group of cow
boys who resembled, in outward ap-
pearance, at least, the Wister type. and
for the benefit of these he Immediately
began to eXpound the Scripture. To
his surprise the cowboys proved to be
thoroughly conversant with his sub
Ject matter. But unfortunately his
theology was not theirs and, failing to
make convert of him, they called for
rope and looked about for the nearest
post. The minister, however, succeeded
in making his escape and returned to
the East a sadder but a wiser man.
The lovers of the picturesque have
been lamenting the passing of the
cowboy but the above incident must
help to convince them that their pass
ing, perhaps. has been wisely ordered.
For a change has come over the spirit
of the cowboys who remain Time
was when they had few convictions.
when their thoughts flew hempward
only when a horse was missing or a
card was detected up a sleeve. But
the world has reached them and has
convinced them of many things. I'm
fortunately it has not convinced them
that hemp and convenient post are
not the best evidence of an inward
faith.
Considered from a pictorial stand
point only, the cowboy is still every-
thing that could be desired. Had civ
ilization kept away from him he would
remain the right person in the right
place. But religion has strengthened
the courage of his convictions without
increasing his respect for the conven-
lions. Shooting the laity who ven
tured to dispute his assertions has al

sions, but heretofore the clergy has
been tolerably safe. But undoubtedly
the Wearers of the cloth have owed
their safety not SO much to respect
as to indifference. That indifference
having passed away, the dissenter in
things religious who happens to cross
the cowboys path takes chances.
1t is not to religion that the cowboy
of the future, will attribute his un-
doing but to temperament. A pietur-
esque figure on the plains and the ideal
hero of the Western novel, when it
comes to simple, prosaic. everyday life,
the cowboy is just bit too intense.
If he were not. he would not be a cow
boy. But it is not only the book il
Illustrators and Eastern writer's of
Western life who will deplore his pass
Ing. The West itself will regret him.
And the cowboy will have deserved the
regret. He has given to it its touch
OF romance. In his wild, free life, In
his prodigality of youth and strength,
he has typi1ed it and the West can
never forget him.
