MILLER Bros COWBOYS
Those Seen with the 101 Ranch Wild
West Show Are the Real
Article.

The cowboy as pictured in fiction
and on canvas is far different from
the real cowboy as he is seen with the
101 Ranch Real Wild West Show,
which is to be here October 6. The
demand for Western characters has
caused many to affect the chappels
and neck handkerchief in imitation of
the real cowboy, but there are many
things and characteristics about the
cowboy of the ranch and plains that
the wouldbe cowboy can not initiate
He can not initiate the Looping gait of
the genuine COW herder nor can he
have the same pair of beautifully
bowed legs. All cowboys are bow
legged. This is fact not known to
everybody, but fact nevertheless.
When you see man or boy in a suit
of cowboy clothes and he is straight
of carriage and you can not see light
between his knees, you may well put
him down at once for a counterfeit
and you will not be wronging him at
all. They are not born bow-legged
but in infancy they are in the saddle
and the best part of their lives are
spent with the horse under them. 1t
is the constant straddling of the horse
that puts the curve in their legs. and
you will not find one cowboy on the
great 101 Ranch at Bliss, Okla, who
is not bent in the legs.
If you see a cowboy with his hand
kerchief tied in the front you can also
put him down for a base imitation of
the real goods 1t is not a matter of
choice for the cowboy to wear his
around his neck. 1t is
almost compulsory, and it is equally

matter for the young lady, and pro-

to a homestead. The homestead law
states that any minor, male or female,
