ARGENTINE COWBOYS.
The Southern Gaueho Wears the Big
gsst Trousers on Record.


Our friend the gaucho IS as much
in evidence along the line to tie
west as to the south in Argentina
He still sticks to the inevitable
poncho, but he has discarded the
chirpa, a blanketlike garment that
the southern gaucho wears around
his legs, or bombachos, which is the
name for absolutely the largest
trousers on record.
The bombachos in the first place
were, 1 believe, brought to Argen-
tina by the Basques. The things
went straight to the heart of the
gaucho, and he adopted them at
once. Only he has steadily insisted
on simplifying them, until today one
leg of a pair of bombachos will
house a small family. There is no
particular point of utility to be
urged for these wind bags, but they
serve to make their wearer a con-
spicuous figure when he rides into
town, which is reason enough for
the gaucho.
The recado or saddle used in the
west is much the same as in the
south. It consists of a couple of.
smooth pieces Of wood to be laid
on blanket behind the horses
withers. Over these several thick
nesses of fleece or soft blankets are
strapped, a pair Of stirrups thrown
over the whole and the recado is
ready for use. This sounds like a
crude arrangement, and such it
often is, Nevertheless I have heard
number Of Englishmen who have
used it claim that the recado gives
a knee grip in the soft blankets
that insures a seat more sure than
that possible in any saddle of hard
leather.
The most inseparable companion
of the gaucho of the west is his ri
benka, or whip. This has a heavily
loaded handle about a foot and a
half long, which terminates in a
thick single or double throng of
rawhide Of the same length as the
handle. The handle is sometimes
covered with hide or, again, heavily
inlaid with silver. A blow from the
handle of ribenka will fell horse,
and a cut from its lash will tear
open a cash in the flank of a tough
skinned mule.
The gaucho of the south fights
with his knife in one hand and his
folded poncho in the other as a
shield. The western gaucho sub
stitutes the ribenka for the poncho
and must make far more formida-
bic opponent. His great facon, or
knife, reposes most Of the time in
his belt. His ribenka never leaves
his hand during the day, and at
night he sleeps with the thong of
ii about his wrist. = Los Angeles

Notwithstanding the countless hun
dreds of Santa Claus missives sent up
the chimney and borne on TO their des-
tination by sympathetic zephyrs. many
letters addressed to good old ST. Mich

office. Two of the most modest re-

were from little Raymond Shaw and his
sister, Magdeleine, of 1888 Thlrty-hftn

Raymond is evidently a struggling
poet. He indited sonnet TO Santa

for good little boys in the form or
