A COWBOYS PRAYER.
By Badger Clark.

by DduStI Val
written for Mother.)
Oh, Lord I've never lived where
churches grow.
I love creation better as it stood
That day you finished it so long ago
And looked upon your work and
called it good
l know that others find you in the
light
That's sifted down through tinted
window panes,
And yet [ seem to feel you near to-
night
In this dim. quiet starlight on the
plains.
thank you. Lord, that I am placed
so well,
That you have made my freedom so
complete;
That I'm no slave of whistle, clock or
Nor weak-eyed prisoner of wall and
street.
Just let me live my life as I've begun
And give me work that's open to the
sky;
Make me a pardner of the wind and
sun,
And 1 won't ask life that's soft or
high
Let me be easy on the man that's
down;
Let me be square and generous with
all.
I'm careless sometimes, Lord. when
I'm in town,
But never let 'em say I'm mean or
small!
Make me as big and open as the plains,
As honest as the hawse between my
knees,
Clean as the wind that blows behind
the rains,
Free as the hawk that circles down
the breeze!
Forgive me, Lord, if sometimes I for
get.
You know about the reasons that are
hid.
You understand the things that gall
and fret;
You know me better than my mother
did.
Just keep an eye on all that's done
and said u.s.
And right me, sometimes, when l
turn aside,
And guide me on the long, dim trail
ahead
That stretches upward toward the
Great Divide.

such a lovely ride! The weather was

But we are lingering too long, so
we descend and are soon on our way

pleasant call, arriving home about

One more bright spot which fingers

thor East kindly sent me a
marked copy of the CONGREGATIONAL
list of September 20. One article
marked was Main Street, in the
Suburbs" in which the writer says
Main street may be said to be
the principal thoroughfare over
which humanity travels"
But it is the Cowboy poet" whom
I want to present to you this week
He was born in Iowa in 1888, and
the writer of his history says, "he
emigrated to what was then Dakota
territory at the age of three months.
taking his parents with him, and
Eomesteaded with their assistance"
South Dakota has since been his
home state, and as his father is a
Methodist minister, his acquaintance
in his hoyhood was not confined to
one locality. He was fond of out
door sports-fishing camping and
fresh-air studies-but at the age of
thirteen he had finished the novels
OF Dickens and Victor Hugo. to-
gether with much modern English
poetry, He took the regular public
school course, and one year in COLI
lege. AT nineteen he went to Cuba.
where he spent two years. Since
then he has had a variety of ex-
periences, having been on coastwise
sailing vessels, on a plantation, in
newspaper work for a year, at the
end of which time a doctor ordered
him to go to the Southwest, and
stay out of the house. He estab-
lished himself on ranch, alone,
about twelve miles from Tombstone,
Arizona. He was in the cowpunch-
er's life, though not entirely of it,
Living on the ranch for four years,
he fell into the habit of composing
verses. Always able to resist the
enticements of liquor, he succumbed
to the fatal fascination of ink, and
has never since been able to shake
off the appetite. He has done much
magazine work, and has published
two small books of western verse,
Sun and Saddle Leather" and
Grass Grown Trails" now COM
bined in one volume under the first
title. He is a bachelor, and resides
at Hot Springs, in the Black Hills
of South Dakota.
The writer of the article, Rev.
Arthur j. Benedict, refers to his
poems as "a type to be remembered
as having it's influence over some of
our greatest men" j hope you will
be interested in what l have writ
ten, for as M. BIS we want to be on
the alert for new and bright things.
Dear Mutuals:

MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY IRWIN S. COBB.

No one seemed to enjoy my little
story more than did the guest Of the

he made me tell 1t to him all over
again. / could tell from his express
sion that he was trying to memorfze
it. In fact, he confessed to me that
he expected to use it. when he got
home as a typical example of Amer
lean humor.
Six months later was in London.
I attended dinner. My English
friend was the toastmaster. Perhaps
my presence recalled to him the

twenty minutes. He entered into a
full exposition of the potency Of the
Illicit distillation known among the
Yankees. he said. as shining moon. "
He went at length into the. subject
Of the habits of rats. pointing out
that inasmuch as rats customarily did
not indulge in intoxicantS few drops
of any liquor carrying high alcoholic
content would be likely, for the time
beingNat least, to alter the nature OF
almost any rat. At length he reached
his point 1t ran like this:
"And then, this little rodent. being
now completely transformed by Its
repeated potations, reared bolt upright
and, voicing the pot-valor OF utter
intoxication both in tone and manner.

Ono night at dinner in honor OF a

from Sam Blythe, and when ! was
called upon by the chairman to speak
a few words told it. and it went
very we'll. 1t had to do with a pros
pector in Oklahoma who, on a Satur-

cabin. anticipating a pleasant sunday.
But as he crossed the threshold he
