THE ROUND-UP 



on the icy granite a horse fell. Tall Pine in his Indian 

 regalia went down. But the old arena instinct and his 

 inherent western chivalry caused him to think first 

 of his fair partner. Throwing himself, war bonnet, 

 feather trapping and all under her, Tall Pine lit flat 

 on his back — she lit flat on his nose. 



So, many humorous incidents paved their way, not 

 only in St. Paul, but on to New York, where the re- 

 nowned hospitality of the Pendletonians, was only 

 equalled by that of their gracious host. After a 

 round-up of every entertainment the Cosmopolis of 

 America could produce, they were willing to admit that 

 New York compared favorably with Pendleton. 



Perhaps you recognize the man in that front seat 

 talking to Merle Chessman of the East Oregonian, the 

 one with a square set to his jaw, immaculately dressed, 

 straw hat at a slight independent angle, and a red car- 

 nation in his lapel, — that's Thomas W. Lawson of 

 Boston. 



Tom Lawson, author, copper and stock-farm king 

 with his five children has come here all the way from 

 Egypt — Massachusetts. 



He's always positive in his opinions as well as his 

 remarks, and you know by his manner he means it. 

 "It's all best, grand, marvelous and all new — all Ameri- 

 can, the greatest human entertainment shown on earth. 

 Another thing that strikes me forcibly is the absence 

 of what comes under the general head of brutality — 

 I have never seen any physical contest less brutal than 

 Pendleton's great human nature exhibition. It puts a 

 glow into the minds of youth and nurtures the won- 

 derful heritage our forefathers created for us." 



Well, he has not only expressed tersely your thought, 

 but those of every normal human in this great epic.
