Tho Pictured Cowboy.

/ recall one picture by a celebrated
artist Of the east who does western
things. 1t depicts Cowboy at Rest"
He Is lying on his stomach in the sun,
his chin In his hands. His horse stands
nearby, with the reins thrown over the
horn of the saddle. Now, a cowboy in
the daytime, well filed with beans and
canned tomatoes, would not lie thus,
and, above all, he would not leave his
horse standing thus. He would pull
the reins down over the horses head
and let them hang, elsewise his cow
horse would depart. l recall get anoth.
er picture of a faithful cowpunchel
who with his trusty rifle defends him
self from behind his dead horse, which
he uses as fortress. The q d horse
is about four feet and a halt through
sidewise-excellent for fortress, but
trifie wide for thin flanked COW
horse. It would be useless to point
out any detail like this to any earnest
artist Of today. Worse than useless
would 1t be to suggest that a cow
puncher Is the LATEST created thing, for
in art he must do perpetual stunts Of
