As a matter of fact, personal bravery demands no higher premium among the sons of the herd and prairie than to be brought to the long halt booted and spurred. It is noteworthy that cowboys entertain a con- empt formal funerals. A round of cart- ridges (just for fun), and a coroner (just for nee), that’s the formula, I rather Its business. No expostulation, you know. If a cowboy detects your weakness in a mild and friendl, yame of poker, there is a fresh deal and no words about it, and you've to be a hustler to cover his lead, ‘The result is an immediate understanding ; and (presumably) you don't play poker any more.
