A rare  exhibition  of  horsemanship  was
displayed  on  the  streets  last  week.  A cowboy
who  had  filled  his  tank  with  liquid  lightning,
offered  to  bet  $50  that  he  “could  ride  anything
that  wore  hair.”  Another  cowboy  took  the  bet,
and  brought  forth  a cayuse  famous  for  buck-
ing. The  drunken  cowboy  was  not  slow  in
mounting  and  while  the  cayuse  was  rearing  and
pitching,  crossed  both  legs  around  the  horn  of
the  saddle,  then  quietly  rolled  a cigarette  and
sat  and  smoked  as  contentedly  as  though  he
were  in  a rocking  chair.  When  the  horse  ceased
to  pitch  the  money  was  turned  over  and  most
of  the  boys  took  their  straight.  As  the  rider
drained  his  poison,  he  quietly  remarked,  “Well,
I thought  you  had  something  hard  to  ride.”
