Next January.
To show that the American cowboy
IS the greatest rider and the most en-
during specimen Of humanity in the
world Bill Mcbride, ranchman ON the
Oak range, thirty-hYe miles west Of
Colby, Kan, proposes riding from that
place on a broncho clear through to the
Tenderloin Of New York city, and to
prove conclusively that the female
product Of the western plains is equal
~ as sturdy his wife says she will ac-
company him on another broncho, says
the New York Evening Journal.

through to New York city, each mount
ed on broncho. We Will not stop lon

Just as we leave the plains
Out on Oak range there are many
skillful riders, but Bill is credited with
being by long odds the best horseman
for hundreds Of miles around. He has
met and vanquished the pride Of many
another ranch in tests Of horseman-
ship, and when he jumps on the wild

"cinch" that the beast wilr "breGlS to

Twenty-Five hundred miles across the
continent is the trip proposed, but Bill
was not at all dismayed when this
| fact was made clear to him. 1t is q
hfty-mile ride out and back to the
ranch when he goes for mail, and 800
or 400 miles on a round up is a com
