Different Brands
'aThere are about so different brands
required in the roundup. It takes quick
thinking on the roper's part to pick
the calf belonging to his herd. But the
work of branding Is done at q speed
that makes dizzy. Every calf Will
be branded whether the owner Is pres

Continuing, the writer says that q

animals over a year old are called

Sc Years Ago Butte Man
Exposed Bunk of Eastern
Conception Of A Cowboy

Thirty-six years age q Butte
newspaper man-with no premOni-
ton Of the coming Of the films or
such cowboy actors as Bill Hart
wrote a story of a Montana cattle
roundup and drew a picture of the
cowboy of fact and protested
against the cowboy of fiction. he
said:
The cowboy of omance is a Gre.
alton manufactured almost exclusively
Tor eastern consumption. While there
a not so many years ago, some basis
has passed away forever. The tradi-
tlonal cowboy is pictured as the ideal
OF desperate courage and reckless lar
ing, a stranger to fear and an almost
super-human markSman. The glamor|
OF semi-outlawry was thrown about
alleged to be the cutting of notches in
the handle of his gun, running a pri-
town.
How far removed is this fancy
sketch from realty of the present was

cowboys were chased 20 miles and
driven into their holes by a couple Of
cattle thieves. That little incident lust
toppled the old-time cowboy off his
pedestal and shattered the ideal that

ern american literature. 1t showed that
the same kind of Splinter in the face
OF danger as is the ordinary man. It
opens up the opportunity for a saner
he is today.

the high-heeled boots associated with
cowboys by the traditions and illus

THE men who punch cattle in Nom
lana do 1t for wages and not for glory.
They engage in 1t with the same spirit
and clothing that they would in a Job
in a hay field. The cowboy Of today is
not particularly romantic. He works
16 hours a day and sleeps in the rain
and works harder to earn his money
than almost any other laborer in the
state.

breakfast is finished the 500 horses are

ences travelling with the King
while he was in this country as

Goodwin, who was chosen on one

the American people, had an in
innate view of the prince as he
travelled many miles through the
United States.
Out For Good Time
In describing this phase of the
Kings life, Goodwin said:
"If there was ever anybody
who showed that his job was
over his head and didn't care
for what he had to do, it was

may now be slipping from
