Historical Society Relics Preserve
Memory of Nearly Extinct Cowboy
A six-shooter revolver, a lariat, a
hackamore bridle, and a pair of
Texas longborns are among the
collections of the State Historical
society In their rooms, in the base
ment of the library building. These
relics are reminiscent to that near
ly extinct, picturesque, colorful fig
ure the cowboy.
The cowboy of the old school
waa quite different from the hero
of the present day movie, who is
usually a handsome, sleek-looking
fellow, mounted upon a fine, carefully-groomed
horse who invariably
saves the beautiful daughter of
the ranch owner from danger and
marries her. In contrast the old
cowboys, nearly all of thera have
crossed the "great divide" were I all
lean, good hearted fellows, with un
shaven laces and flowing long un
kept hair, They rode mean little
mustang poines, that appeared as
scarcely able to bear their weight.
Mora 10 Gallon Hat
The cowboys wore wide riumed
"ten gallon" hats, and usually car
ried two revolvers, which were al
ways loaded, at their sides. The
cowboy was ever prepared for the
many dangers, which overshadow
ed his life. lie wore angora chaps
and high heeled boots of knee
height. Once a cowboy got into his
boots, it was a tremendous task to
remove him from them. Conse
quently, they left their boots on for
as long as a week at a time. Cow
boy generally died literarlly with
their boots on, whetrer naturally
or by request.
The revolver in the Histrical So
ciety's collection is one of the six
shooter, 38 calibre, "fan hammer"
type. It was secured In Central Am
erica, where it was carried by a
Mexican desperado, who used to
herd longhorns on the prairies of
Nebraska, It is of the variety com
monly UBed by the early cowboy.
A buckskin lariat, seventy-five
feet long may be also seen among
the collection. The pieces of buck
skin are unspliced. It is braided of
four strands of bucskin which were
obtained by cutting the hide in a
circular direction. The society also
has some lariats of braided horse
hair, but these were used in Texas
and Oklahoma and were not very
common In Nebraska. A hackamore
bridle may also bo seen. It is of a
very fine workmanship of braided
buckskin.

BETWEEN THE LINES
By LaSalla Gllman
The University Players are pre
senting "Arms and the Man" this
week at the Temple. After seeing
It, one who has held Shaw's comedy-drama
in high esteem may
well go away feeling that the old
favorite has lost no flavor, despite
everything. The audience sits ex
pectantly and whistles "My Hero"
under its breath while visions of
the operetta "The Chocolate Sol
dier" rise in all minds. Yenne is
masterful and compelling m ever
In his torn trousers, and Miss
Meyer sighs becomingly through
out three acts.
The minor characters uphold the
.tradition well. But the part of
Perglus is most difficult to por
tray, for It is based upon a pro
found egotism and upon heroics,
and any actor is in danger of over
doing the poutings and blowing
of this romantic fellow. Zolley
Lerner has not lost the character,
entirely, that he showed in the last
production, and as a result, he has
carried his gestures and his pro
nunciation over Into this play, to
the near-devastation of the part.
It Is meant to be played in an ex
aggerated manner, the part, but
over-exaggeration should be
avoided, and Lerner has missed
that folut. And the part of Cath
erine Is overdone a bit on the
same order by Margaret Master
son. However, the play is a relief
to an audience who relishes dash
and color and romantic.;.; and
adventure, and should be com
mended, on the whole.

Mr. lilackmun, the curator of the
collection has made arrangements
for getting a saddle like the cow
boys used from the western part of
the state. It is a deep, short pom
meled saddle.
An old settler living at Holdrege
loaned Mr. Blackmun a set of long
horns to exhibit on the historical
railway coach, which visited many
Nebraska towns . last fall. The
horns are three feet long and about
three Inches in diameter at the
base, tapering to a sharp point at
the end. Mr. Blackman Intends to
return these horns Boon. Horns of
even greater length were quite
common and many longer speci
mens may be seen even today. -
Mr. Blackman recalls seeing an
imals with horns so long that their
heads had to be twisted in order to
load them into the freight car hav
ing a ten foot door. When a pair
were broken for work the inside
horns had to be removed so that
the animals could be yoked.
These longhorn cattle were also
trailed up from Texas, where they
could be bought for two or three
dollars a head. These cattle were
more picturesque than our present
docile animals but according to Mr.
Blackman, a beef steak from a
longhorn could not compare with
one from our present day sleek
Hereford or Angua.
Longhorn Has Vanished
The longhorn has .wholly vanish
ed from our state and Is becoming
increasingly rare In other parts of
the country. The managers of the
various rodoes, which are put on
in commemoration of the cowboy
of by-gone Cays, have difficulty to
securing specimens for bulldog-
King. They have to place their or
ders on the Kansas City market
weeks in advance. Such cattle, thit
have no other economic value usu
ally bring a good price. The few
longhorn survivors are found in
Texas and in the swamps of Louis
iana and Arkansas. They are Btlll
quite common in old Mexico.
The old-fashioned cowboy is van
ishing and along with him his old
associates the mustlang or broncho
pony and the longhorn steer are
also disappearing. Mr. Blackman
hopes that by preserving this para
phernalia of the cowboy, the future
generations will get a more accur
ate idea of the cowboy than that
portrayed in most Western movies
alone and those who secretly re
joiced at his "Main Street" and
"Babbitt went about with a sneak
ing expression as if they were so
cialistic aliens. Now comes Rob

of such matter. Lewis and Men

Travel, adventure, exploration, re
search. The idea is, I suppose,
that the reader Bits down with a
pile of such tropical tales about
his feet and, forgets that the coal
bill la due and that his overcoat
has moth-ho!es in it. But, on the
contrary, two books have made
their appearance in this most
chilly period concerning arctic ex
ploration. One, "The Krassln," by
Maurice Parajanlne, is en inside
story of the rescue of the Kalia's
crew by the Russian ice-bivaker,
Krassln. According to the adver
tisements, it is a "revelation of
heroic arctic drama and the evi
dences of murder and cannibal
ism." The other book, "The Trag
edy of the Italia," by Davlde Glu
dlcl, is evidently along the same
lines. Why, one is tempted to ask,
are chrqnlclers of events prone to
plaster muck all -oyer the pages
about men who are dead? Per
haps the events that took place
during that tragic episode were not
event", that would be considered
genteel In society, but they were
actions brought about by necessity
and Buffering, so why cannot the
world overlook them?

"A Jackdaw in Peacock's Feath
ers" is the description given to
newspaper men and women by
Malvlna Lindsay, .writing on jour
nalism in the February American
Mercury. The article corresponds
to a similar treatise published in
the same magazine in the January
issue, and it takes up different as
pects of the journalist's career,
work, future, etc. But this is writ
ten by a woman, and It gives the
woman's side of newspaper work.
She speaki briefly of journalism
schools and after admitting that
they are til right, remarks that
they should develop some method
of weeding out those who are un
fit for newspaper trade. The main
theme of the article Is partially
cynical, for it shows up the re
porter as a mixture of burglar and
art critic, and above all, a show
man. At any rate, those who read
and liked the article last month
will surely enjoy this one.

Commander Byrd Engages Nehraskan
To Inspect Teeth on Antarctic Trip
Dr. Clyde A. Nelson, graduate of
the University of Nebraska in
1918, instructor in the Dental col
lege for five years and acting dean
of the college for about six
months, has contributed much- to
the study of dentistry as the result
of his work on the members of
the Byrd Antarctic expedition.
Commander . Byrd wanted to
have the best dental work possible
so he commanded his crew of
seventy-four and also himself to
undergo the thorough examinations
that would bring to light any de
fects of the teeth as the food that
they eat is very coarse and their
teeth must be in excellent shape.
