portrayals of life In the wild, horsy west.
Sometimes they are OF leather with a long
fringe, or IL the rider wants to look par
ticularly devilish they are of goat skin
with the hair unbarbered. CHAPS" cost
anywhere from SIS to S25.
But the two articles that the cowboy
who wants to shine really turns himself
loose on are hats and saddles. A hat can
be made a wondrOus thing when price Is
not discouraglng consideration. OF hand
stamped leather with silver flligree and
buckle 1t can be made to weigh several
pounds and cost several dollars a pound.
1t seems that no cowboy would consider
himself dressed up without at least five
pounds of hat. As to what a cowboy
thinks OF a saddle can be figured this
way; When he starts in to buy an outfit
he buys the saddle first and gets just
what he wants, and then IL he has any
money left he buys the other things he
needs.
There are fifty pounds Of leather in a
real cowboy saddle, fifty pounds OF
leather wonderfully carved, stamped and
befringed. 1t Is as big as a hammock
with a pommel like the ornamental stern
post of a ship and a back like a rocking
chair. There are more rings, straps,
thongs and holsters depending from it
than layman could count without trying
to learn their various uses. The saddle is
five-room flat full Of furniture to the
cowboy; he eats. works, loafs and sleeps
in it.-Kansas City Star.

During the year that has past We have
endeavored 10 keep these principles Ia

NO Limit to what He May Pay for
an Outfit II He Has the
Price.

When the city man gets his bills for
his new fall suit, his fussy topcoat with
the latest style stock collar. his velvet
hat, spats and gloves he is apt to think
with some complacency that he had done
all that money can do to clothe the outer
man. His tailor vs. the most expensive
he can find, his fabrics are all imported,
and he contemplates his fancy waistcoat
with the awe that comes with a realiza-
ton that the buttons alone cost 81 each.
The same man would be considerably
surprised If any one told him that there
was an establishment in the west bot
toms that deals exclusively with stock
men and cowboys where a hat costs any
where from S12 to $40 and pair OF trous-
ers from SIS up to almost any figure.

OF the fitness OF things can safely match

Several skilled workmen will spend
weeks making a saddle, hand carving II
with artistic designs and mounting II
with as much silver and other precious
metals as the purchaser desires to pas
for. And when a stockInan or cowboy
wants a saddle he wants It right. 1t moi

missioners expressed their confidence IN
and appreciation OF the work Of the Assoc

to the effect that all persons receiving

Associated Charities and that all pass

cards 10 be recognized by the county
agents shalt be those issued and signed
by the Associated Charities. This new
method instituted by them has been q
great saving to Douglas county. Careful
Investigation OF figures for the months of
April and May 1910 and 1871, show that
in groceries and transportation alone
there was a saving OF about 1890
month. 1t was found that there were
many instances where people had been
getting help from the county for long

eight years. In some cases families were

 Reciprocity is not the only mat ter that will come before an extra session, but it is the chief one, and none other need give much concern. There will be attempts to combine the friends or foes of other measures so as to defeat reciprocity. but the aim Of such attempts should be toe plain to deceive members of either house They should be sure that the people will no; be deceived.
