l have been reading your "Re-
member" column in the Sidney
Herald and wonder if you can as
sist me in locating a poem. 1t
was written about 1920 or 81 by
a man whose last name was Muir
ray. 1t was a long poem called
the Three Saddlebags of Gold"
1t was about some gold which
was supposed to have been hidden
in the country between Cart
wright, N. D., and Bennipier.
My father, William West told
of it. and this man (Murray)
wrote of it.
Thanking you in advance,
Mrs. c. Stricken.
Armistice Day, Saturday, Nov.
IL was properly observed in Sid
ney. The program was under the
auspices of the Richland Post,
American Legion. Attorney Ray
mond Hilderbrand of Glendive,
former commander of the Daw-
son Post, was the main speaker
at the exercises held at the Prin-
cess theatre. Commander Harry
Clark of the local post acted as
chairman of the meeting and
Mayor A. u. Hall delivered a
splendid address as a representa-
tive of the city. The matinee
dance given at the Armory fol-
lowing the speaking program was
an enjoyable feature. The dance

THE COWBOY
My poor young heart goes pit-a-
pat
WIENER 1 see a cowboy hat,
And high heel boots and tinkling
Spu1o,
A handkerchief and chaps of fur,
A swell big saddle and a horse
so bright
With head uplifted and black as
night.
A lariat on the saddle horn
A scent of moonshine made from
corn
The motto says, 81 guess It's
true"
Cause l can say no matter what
a man is like
If he is a cowboy, he is alright.

THE COWBOY
Short and sweet with little feet
Can ride a bucking horse !
Can ride a bucking steer !
And never pull leather, {,
On his feet he is lighter than !
a feather :
Jazzes like an Indian !
Fox trots like a leader
Two steps like a society belle :
Makes other SWANS wish them :
selves in He'll, :
Gives every girl a pang in the !
heart ,
So with him., they never wish to :
part,
And for him, they always pine.
Smells of moonshine, smells of 4
smoke :
All the girls long for him, day :
and night. 80.
He's a cowboy and he's alright. {
