This Cowboy Is a Girl.

Jessie Findley is the champion girl cowboy of the West. She is only IT years old, but as a horse-breaker she has no rivals among her own sex, and bat few among the sterner sex. She Is a product of Oklahoma. She has lived an outdoor life always, and the broncho does not buck that she fears tb tackle. On one occasion she rode 250 miles in five days, and wore out the men who accompanied her. At another time she

rode her pony into the North Canadian River when it was bank full, and swanl across. Not one of her male companions dared to follow her lead. She has great success in taming bucking ponies which male riders can do nothing with. She seems to have a hypnotic influence over them they can not resist. Although possessing all the reckless daring of the cowboy, Miss Findley takes delight in the feminine fancies natural to a .girl of her age, dresses tastily, and Vs not averse to frills and pretty ribbons.
