THE Texas hcrdsmen become so expert
in the use of the lasso that they ride on
their stunted ponies, through the city of
Houston, as though on a steeple-chase,
picking up with one throw of their rope
anything they may happen to want on the
sides of the streets They very seldom
miss their aim. They will take up loaf
of bread from the pavement or hat from
the head of man walking in front of

1912. There are now over two thousand
divisions in this country of this order
numbering nearly three hundred Thousand
members. There are over twenty-sever
different secret organizations in America
embracing over q half million of members
and all springing from that small number
of sixteen. That original division is still
in existence, and is No. l of the Sons o

THE North British RGotelo says: I" A
the beginning of carouse of drunkard
alcohol stimulates the action of the heart
which now sends blood rapidly to thu
lungs for aeration. A large supply o
blooddisks consequently reach the brain
which is stimulated into activity. Th,
ideas of the drinker now flow rapidly, a

volatile alcohol is diilusing itself through
the system, converting arterial into venou
