We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
The sheriff sure leads a dog's life when the boys are in a playful mood like this. With an accompaniment like that, though, wonder if the sixgun is necessary to make him step around ?
And when they sing and play, the repressed bookkeeper forgets his trial balance and gallops over a sage-scented prairie. These boys have a repertoire of hundreds of original songs of the American plains — sagas of the sage, you might call them. Among their most popular numbers are Hoe Town Texas, Rag Time Annie, Strawberry Roan, Wreck of the '97, and Little Joe the Wrangler.
But what of the boys themselves? Into the jazz-jaded atmosphere of American homes they have brought the scent of fresh prairies, but what are they getting out of it? Had they rather have a soft soda than a hard saddle1 Do they prefer a stiff shirt to a collarless jumper? Have they removed their spurs?

Oh, of course, they would not be human if they did not enjoy the praise and applause that has come to them. They are invited to entertain and be entertained in the best homes and at the best clubs. Here they meet city folks who shake them by the hand and compliment their playing. In the mail they receive mash letters and pictures of beautiful and stylish gals. They grin and act "perlite," but . . .
I think it is significant that they never change their cowboy clothes for tuxedos, and only one of them has got married.
You can build a city on a prairie, but you can't put a ranch in a parlor!
The gun-totin' pee-wee sheriff finds a well-planted aim with his sharp-toed boot more effective in maintaining discipline than a brace of six guns
Here's real affection as it is done in the wide open spaces. The sheriff gets his ear bitten, and is all up in arms about it
