kicked out of shape I'm a game Of foot
ball or other legitimate pastime, but
he draws the line at being treated like
n Texas steer. lie put spurs to his
wheel, as il were, and fancied all dan
ger was past, when suddenly the cow
boy whoOped a blood curdling whoop.
Though Mr.. Perkins lodged when he
saw the lariat circling owe his head,
the aim with which II had been thrown
was unerring. The next moment MIR.
Perkins was jerked from his wheel and
was being tOwed i'm an opposite direc-
ton at a rate of speed corresponding
with that of the cowboys brOnchO.
Had not his companions OPPORTUNITY
come up and succeeded i'm jerking the
lariat away from the cowboy before he
could secure it to the horn of his sad
die, the body of Mr.. Perkins might be
following the br0ncho across the plains
to this day. AS 1t is, the Denver gen
tleman's neck is said to look as though
he had been used to test a gallows.
The incident has furnished n lesson
which Colorado bicyclists will not be
slow TO learn. In traversing the plains.
after this they will be at pains to fol-
low Caprivi's advice, varying il perhaps
somewhat to suit the requirements of
the occasion. Bibles are rather too
bulky to carry around and are of very
doubtful effect upon a cowboy any
way, for unless they can be presented
to him sc fOrcibly in the pit of the
stomach as to double him they do
him very little good. Otherwise Ca
privi's policy is as applicable to the
plains of Colorado as to the deserts of
Africa.
