GETTING IN TOUCH
WITH THE BEST

Edward Everett Hale used to coun-
sci the young people to converse
every day with some one older, better
and wiser than themselves. We can
not all do that, but we can do the
next best thing: we can get in touch
with them through the printed page
and enjoy the fruits of their wisdom
and experience. Probably no publica-
tion contains SO much from the writ
ings of men and women distinguished
in many ways as The Youths Com
papicn. A constant reading of the
paper is liberal education of mind
and heart.
The Companion has no age limit.
Professional men, business men and
busy women prize it as highly as the
young folts

THE COW PONY

The boy boss of the sage brush land,
Is a necked ornery cuss,
And many puncher with rowels red,
He's turned upside down in the dust
He's game little rock-ribbed, rat-taied brat,
And as tough hide line;
But when it to n test,
You'll find him there every time
He's got fer a white livered bo,
Or puncher that quakes with fear,
He'll take your measure the first time out
To if your worthy the white sombrear.
He'll try you out the very first month,
That's just sin;
An if you can't ride you'd better stay home.
Fer you're goin' to go if you kim
With his head twixt his fore legs hump his back,
His most techin' the ground,
With mighty leap he's up in the air
His tail drawn down like a hound
Up in the air six feet o
In the shape of a railroad pick
An when you come to hittn' the ground
You'll feel like you'd struck it quick
Chase to right, chasse to left
An it's lancers either you'll
Fer he gives you blame little time to reckon
What the next changes gon' to be.
He's little scamp we'll all admit;
Just the he's the punchers delight
Fer matter how far you ride in the day
He'll fetch you home at night
When the thorough bred fags the long rocky trail
An throws up his tail in the race,
The little oil bronx just keeps gigging along
Till the home light shines your face
