THE COWBOYS' CHRISTMAS BALL
5TT 7AY out in Western Texas, where the Clear
W Fork's waters flow, Where the cattle are " a-browzin'," and the Spanish
ponies grow; Where the Norther " comes a-whistlin' " from be-
yond the Neutral strip And the prairie dogs are sneezin', as if they had
11 the Grip"; Where the coyotes come a-howlin' round the ranches
after dark, And the mocking-birds are singin' to the lovely
"medderlark"; Where the 'possum and the badger, and rattle-snakes
abound, And the monstrous stars are winkin' o'er a wilder-
ness profound; Where lonesome, tawny prairies melt into airy
streams, While the Double Mountains slumber in heavenly
kinds of dreams; Where the antelope is grazin' and the lonely plovers
call — It was there that I attended " The Cowboys' Christ-
mas Ball." 112 |
