Jack Folsom Introduces Texas Fad Here With Disastrous Results—to Whom? Sombreros and "chaps,” knoxvn to the tenderfoot as hats and breeches, are adorning the steer critters in Texas, down by the Rio Grande, according to news items recently appearing under San Antonio date lines. They say it is quite a fad down on the border to garb the cattle in overalls and sun shields. Perhaps it keeps off the flies, or maybe it makes the kine so appreciative of their sartorial wealth that they quit straying off the range. But anyway the papers told about ft and Jack Fol som. who helps run a big dairy farm out Peachtree road, decided he would try it. That's where this picture came from. It took Mr. Folsom, three hired men and a dog the best portion of an after noon to convert a sad-eyed milk pro ducer into Bad Bossy from Bitter Bend —the first Georgia suffragette cow— but they did it. When they were through Mr. Folsom had lost his shirt and half his trousers, but what he lacked Bossy had. They tied a broad sombrero tightly over her forehead and, Just for the wild west effect, hung a holster over her horn. And then Bossy went plunging toward the spring house, kicking high and noisily sounding her disgust at playing suffragette against her will. Whether this new form of dressed beef will give any more milk than those garbed in plain untanned cowhide has not yet been established, for Bossy hasn't come to the milking stool since she got her glad rags. But maybe the files don t bother her as much as be fore.
