+ALTHOUGH I have lived in New York city for more than a quarter of a century, my heart is still out in the Middle West where I was born, so I look forward with great anticipation every autumn to the rodeo at Madison Square Garden. It brings a bit of the dash and joyousness and color of the Far West to this drab town of “Bagdad on the Subway,” as O. Henry called it.

+I once owned a cattle ranch myself on the banks of the Cheyenne river, in Western South Dakota. I have attended Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyo.; I have watched the stampede at Calgary, Canada; yet I must confess that perhaps one of the best rodeo shows to be found anywhere in the United States is given right in Madison Square Garden in the heart of Manhattan. The prize winners from all over the United States come to contend for honors.

When attending the Rodeo this year at Madison Square Garden, before we went to our seats we visited the stables, where the cowboys were getting ready. One of the boys had a horse which was very skittish—I could imagine what he would be like out in the ring!

+America’s sweetheart of a couple of decades past, Mary Pickford, made a little remark recently which it would benefit the whole world to keep in mind. This little woman has been through virtually every phase of human experience, from poverty and drudgery to riches and glamour; from a little nobody to a world famous star; from a happy married life to the divorce courts. And now, at maturity, with a wealth of living behind her, she says: “I have learned that as I take care of my thinking, my thinking takes care of me.”
