He will jump. his.pony.at the head

‘is the one’thing to do. He has been

He will look a 44 in the muzzle

froma baby that “he should not let 
any man call him a liar, or a coward 
‘and he won’t. -It‘has become a part 
of him-to resent, these. epithets, and 
he does it from.pure force of habit.

range and wonders how they did it. 
He’ s not at home in the crowds, it’s

he’s. all steel. In a city he’s timid, 
green, and dead easy. 
I met a cowboy in the depot at 
Kansas City who had just learned 
his‘lesson well. The day before a 
bunch of them had been paid off and 
this fellow caine into town to buy an 
outfit for the winter. He told me he 
purchased -$75* worth of clothes, 
blankets, ete.. Then, of course, he 
had to hoist in a few drinks, and the 
bar “flies saw him first. They got 
his entire outfit: and.the most of his 
eash. He was the most heart-broken 
remorseful eow puncher I ever saw.
