"Speakin' of cowpunchers," says Rawhide Rawlins,
"Up to a few years ago, there's mighty little known about cows and cow people.
It puts me in mind of the eastern girl that asks her mother:
'Ma,' says she, 'do cowboys eat grass?'
'No, dear,' says the old lady, 'they're part human,' an' I don't know but the old gal had 'em sized up right.
If they are human, they're a separate species."
Trails Plowed Under
by Charles M. Russell, 1927.
