The ROUNDUP

Once year an outfit comprising men
or given range, move hither and thither
on the broad sweeps Of their particular
Homain, to round up cattle and calves and
brand them, that their ownership may be
known. The cattle Craze everywhere.
Tirelessly the cowboy rides The dura-
ton of this ride depends on the number of
beeves on the range, but usually occupies
from one to two weeks time
The cattle, gradually punched, are
finally rounded up into one large herd
The yearlings are sorted out and branded
Each outfit cuts out it's own brand
There is always the danger Of stam-
pede. Of docile characters individually,
when punched into nearly countless hun
dreds the cattle are easily frightened.
Then, under high tension, they stampede
in mad disorder. Woe to the cowboy
whose broncho is not alert Then follows
the tireless chase, day and night.
During the pleasant months of the
year the outdoor life, though arduous at
of winter come, with it's cold rains and
binding blizzards, only the cowboy knows
what it means to traverse the awful wastes
in search Of stray cattle.
Fierce winds, sweeping SHOWS which
prick the face like needles, bitter cold
which benumbs, must be endured. The
cattle must be found
The cowboys life is one of monotony,
of drudgery, of hardship. The pentup
energies of the men find escape through
valves of recklessness, Of wildness. They
live in the saddle. Through practice they
become skillful with the lasso They de
light in feats Of extraordinary horseman-
ship. But there is deep sense Of honor
among them. In heart they are real men.
Living close to nature, away from the re-
tining influences of women, these men are
their real selves; rough and gentle in turn,
care free, reckless, quick to anger and
quick to resent insult fancied or real-or
they shoot.

Tomorrow to Fresh Woods and Pas
lures New"
The ivory gates swing open in the gold
en- light of dawn,
And stretching out before us lies a
road untried and new;
We eagerly scan its winding course,
far over the hills and on
Until it seems to vanish in the dis
tance, dim and blue.
Together upon the threshold Of our fu-
ture thus we stand,
A thousand voices call, thousand
visions ure us on;
Lat ere we pass the portals into
that strange enhancing land,
We pause recalling fondly happy
scenes now past and gone.
Regretfully looking back we see a gar
den bright with bloom
And early sunbeams glinting
through to the gently-striving
trees;
The breezes lightly drifting by are
laden with perfume
And from the honey-suckle comes
the busy hum of bees.
Full many a peaceful year we've pass
ed within this garden spot
Not always balmy was the air, not
always clear the sky.
Full many lesson truly learned, and
ne'er to be forgot
Now fingers In our hearts to cheer
and aid us by and by.
Thus, knowing the Joy that comes
from giving the best that in us
lies,
And learning to take without com.
plant the bitterness Of defeat
Over the toughest places looking fol-
help to those more wise
We found that conquering slowly
made the victory far more
sweet.
Sometimes il lonely woodland nook
we twined the violets blue
With pansies, purple thought flow
! ers, into garlands for our heads
And dreamed the dreams of youth
and unused would ever those
dreams come true,
And wove our rosy visions together
with fancy's golden threads.
We gathered the flowers of wisdom
blossoming all along our way
And learned lesson alike from
violet shy and lily proud;
And now we offer our thanks to those
who guided US day by day,
And showed us how to find the sill
yer lining to every cloud.
But vanished, thought of vanished
days. wide open stands the gate
Disclosing to our wondering gaze
broader, grander view.
Who knows what opportunities beyond
those hills await?
Let us fare gladly forth to seek
Fresh woods and pastures
new"
