SURE, NO MAN CAN BE A COWBOY
WITHOUT THE QUALIFICATIONS

(From the st. Paul Pioneer Press)
The Pendleton Roundup crowd at
the st. Francis hotel has been flooded
with demands from small boys and
men to be taken back to Pendleton
and taught to be broncho busters and
cowboys.
The throng of requests started yes

of the thirty visitors, was unable to
shake off the ones infatuated with
the idea of life in the wild west.
Toward night the men hit upon the
expedient OF referring all applicants
to the women folks, who after dill
gent questioning, would report some
fatal defect
One man, who insisted on being a
broncho buster passed all questions
satisfactorily until he was asked,
Have you ever done your own wash
