HOG TYING A LONGHORN.
Catchiny, Tripping and Roping a Staer
In Twenty-aaven Seconds.
To rope, “bust" and “liog tie” a wild
Texas longhorn single handed In two
minutes is u sport which represents the
daily work of the range. Men of quick
eye and steady nerve each start their
fifty feet behind the longhorn, which
may jump the arena fence like a deer
and again and again dodge when it
hears the first swish of the rope. The
rope often breaks on the tautening, or
tlie saddle may slip, ns in the case of
Bill Mahaffey, who landed on his head
with foot caught In the stirrup and but
for the splendidly trained cow pony
might have been dragged and killed.
There goes Cuba Crutchfield! lie
overtakes his sister. Swish, swish! His
lariat zips through the air—a beautiful
throw over the horns. Then the cow
pony braces, and the rope tightens like
a harp string. Watching, anticipating
every move of his horned adversary,
tlie cowboy now circles the animal so
that the rope is brought from the horns
around tlie hind legs. A word, and tlie
■ knowing pony makes a sudden start.
Thud, and the steer is tripped or “bust
ed.” The rope tautens, and tlie rider is
already running afoot with a short cord
in hand toward the steer, depending
for ids own safety on his trained cow
pony to hold that rope taut and the
steer in position. With marvelous dex
terity lie “hog ties” with a number of
half hitches looped about the hind feet
and one forefoot of the steer. The man
stands erect, raises both arms in tlie
air, and Crutchfield has not only won
the steer roping championship, but lias
ridden down, roped, thrown and hog
tied a steer in twenty-seven seconds,
within six seconds of the best record
ever made.—World’s Work.
VIOLINISTS UNMASKED.
Edison Tells the Secret of How They
Strike the Right Note.
Thomas A. Edison, who has an ex
pert knowledge of every known mu
sical instrument, from the oboe to the
neolian harp, was discussing the great
violinists of the present age. He spoke
with deep feeling.
‘ I have to admit,” he declared sadly,
“that for a long time those fellows had
me completely bewildered. 1 used to
watch them In amazement. Every time
one of them shot n linger halfway
down the neck of his fiddle and stop
ped it in exactly tlie right place for
the sounding note I gasped in astonish
ment. Every time, it seemed, he could
stop that finger correctly within one
tlmusnndth of an inch. That's what he
had to do in order to make the right
note. And I concluded that he and his
fellows were in some way superior to
all other kinds of people in the matter
of judging distances.
“Hut I know hotter now. After long
and careful observation I have discov
ered the truth. Those fellows shoot
their fingers tip and down with an air
of great confidence, but they never
know exactly where the lingers will
stop. Like any other human being,
they guess at it. Then just as the note
is begun by the scraping of the bow
(heir trained ears catch the defect, and
they readjust their fingers. Conse
quently, although the public doesn't
know it. tlie great violin geniuses of
the world fill their work with a lot of
notes that start falsely.”—Popular Mag
azine.
A Change That Worked.
Little Alice was writing invitations
for her birthday party and bad boon
instructed by her mother to write the
sentence "Please bring no presents" at
the bottom of each invitation.
The little guests arrived at the ap
pointed time, hut each came with a
gift for the hostess.
Alice upon being taken to task for
having forgotten the sentence said:
“No. mamma; I put iu every single
letter of that note. I only changed the
'no’ the least little bit.”
The note read. "Please bring on i>res
ents.”—Ladies' Home Journal.
Only Hi* Little Joke.
A clergyman who was a widower
had three grownup daughters. Hav
ing occasion to go away from home
for a few weeks, he wrote home from
time to time. In one of his letters he
informed them that he had "married a
widow with six children." This creat
ed a stir in the household. When the
vicar returned home one of his daugh
ters, her eyes red with weeping, said:
“Where’s the widow you married,
father?”
“Oh, I murried her to another man.
I ought to have told you that.”—Lon
don Telegraph.
Criticism.
“What play did you see when you
went to the theater?"
“ ‘Romeo nnd Juliet.’ ”
“How did you like it?”
“Well, the costumes were all right,
but Romeo couldn’t dance, and Juliet
wasn’t much for looks, nnd neither one
of ’em had any real, new stuff.”—Wash
ington Star.
Women and Batting.
“Why is it that men bet nnd women
ion’t?"
“Men choose betting as a meanb of
putting a stop to an argument.”
“Well?"
“Well, women never want an argu
ment stopped.”—Cleveland Leader.
8H* Knew.
“Madam, do you give any of your
time for self reflection?”
"Certainly I do. What do you sup
pose looking glasses are made for?”—
Exchange.
First the thick cloud and then the
rainbow's arc.—Bonar.
