They thought he was just one of
the musicians hired to play for the

thought to herself that the music
was the very kind that she wanted
to hear at her own wedding when
ever that might be.

In the COW boy outfit working with

of his many trophies an old-fashioned
Mexican saddle.
Notice the difference?" Bill quer-
led, and I said did but wanted him
to explain technically. Well. there
isn't much difference between the old
Mexican saddle" he said, "and the
new ones they use south of theA border
now except possibly the more gor-
geous trappings of today. But, there
sure is some difference from our cows

First, the Mexican saddle has a
very large horn. 1t is about four in
ches in diameter while our saddle
horn is only about two inches The
reason for the variance is peculiar. II

do You know that the Mexicans

than ours. Strange to say. the Ameri-
can machine made rope is more dura-
bic. Therefore. the Mexican maguay
lariat would be soon spoiled on our
saddle horn.
THE Mexican saddle is much flat
ter. There is absolutely no swell in
the fork. The cantle is low. And, the
stirrups are much heavier. They use
the flat box stirrups covered with tap
idaros, or protective stirrup hoods. !

Some bat-wing chaps which are very
popular with cowboys for show pur-
poses are made from twelve to fifteen

Chaps probably were originated in
Mexico because the Mexicans wore
leather pants before our west was a
cattle country. Thus, the reader will
gain the correct idea that southern
California. Arizona, New Mexico, Tex
as and Nevada saw the first American
cowmen. In the old days they trailed
their cattle north. And when 1t was
discovered that the northwest was the
best grazing country in the world.
