he does not confuse the novice and
he delights the experienced, for. on
the principle of the man who after
eating ham and eggs for three hum
dred and sixty days of the year
went on a holiday and ordered some
more ham and eggs, there is nothing
so dear to the human soul as to
hear or read what you yourself are
most familiar with, and if, as is
always the case. it is possible here
and there to pick an imagined flaw

fault
This is not meant to imply that In
'The Cowboy" there are many tech
nical errors. If any, but the West is
"one way" country; that is, each
man has his own way, and any other
way is absurd, the result either of
ignorance. carelessness or downright
"oneriness," and any attempt at syri-
thesis or summation is bound to meet
with (on the part of the objectors
very much enjoyedD opposition. 1t
will depress the objectors spiritually
that in the present instance they will
find so little to base their opposition
on. However, as an instance of what
mean, and because Mr.. Rollins
frankly admits his cwn keen far
Western delight in never ended and
extremely precise discussion, would

for the fun of il and from no plea
yunish, critical desire to pick flaws
in what is fine piece of work. j
am only sorry that the argument
can't be carried on in the shade of
a bunkhouse on a lazy afternoon,
with one of Mr. Rollins's small yell
low dogs in the foreground scratch
ing himself with slow sybaritism.
What makes him. for instance. say
that with the infusion of better blood
the Western horse does not buck as
hard as he used to? The old time

modern outlaw. 1t would be con-
trary to natural laws. On the other
hand, it is not necessary to have a
stock saddle in order to ride bucking
horses. The Australians manage
pretty well with an adaptation of
the hunting saddle. Is he sure
that "dogies" are merely attenuated
calves? Perhaps the term has
changed. Nowadays it usually
means a calf whose mother has died
or who has, as a friend of mine ex-
pressed it. gone off again with a

merely personal opinions, clouded by

not. however, argue with Mr.. Rollins
about the geographical position of
Mount Moran, for it is not "at the
northern end of Jackson's Lake" but
at the southern; and deny that the
cowboy, past or present, has ever
been ungraceful in his dancing. He
is the most graceful man have ever
