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 BAWL OF THE BELLE,
or, not too much off the top
YOU take a round-up of a couple thousand cows and calves. Let one stray calf start to bawl and one cow will investigate.
You take a bunch of women gabbing in one room and a nursery full of their sleeping babies in another part of the house. Let one of the kids start to bawl and the ladies will all light out for the nursery.
We draw no conclusions from this. We wouldn't say that cows are smarter than women we know what side our bread is buttered on. Furthermore, our Miss Laura V. Hamner would beat the tar out of us if we made any cracks. She's past 80. recently completed the 500th consecutive broadcast of her program about high plains personalities, knows as much Texas history as J. Frank Dobie. and just got back from a trip to
Europe, where, she allows, things are (a) crowded, and (b) in a rut.
Her program. Light and Hitch, like so many KGNC tidbits, captures (a) the spirit of Texas, and (b) loyal listeners. We haven't had Miss Hamner on TV yet — she's so busy getting around the country she won't stop long enough to get in focus — but we'll catch her yet, if only to hear again her favorite story. It's about a cowhand, complete with Stetson and full snoot, who stumbled into a barber's chair and demanded a haircut. "Please take off the hat," said the barber. "Oh, 'scuse me." he replied. "Didn't know they was ladies present."
