For three years the Holstein-F riesian
association paid bounty of five dollars
for each pure bred bull calf killed or
castrated after it was and before it
was so days of age. The number of
''veals" made under this encouragement
is 4,e6O, and as this represents in nearly
every instance inferior aniInals-the
culls of the herd-the result of the ex-
pertinent is certainly worth all it cost.
There is no breed so numerous as the
Holstein- Friesian which would not be
the better for the annual wedding out
Of 1000 or 80 inferior bull calves. On
account of temporarily increased de-
mands on it's treasury the association
has discontinued the payment of
bounties for the present. The ''black
and whites will be well represented

WoMEN,s Hair IN A LARlAT.

A Fifty-foot Rope Made Of the Tresses
of Many Victims of Indians
Living in the Wenatchee, a narrow
valley putting into the upper Columbia
river at point called the Mission,
because French priests years ago To-
Gated there and taught the Indians, is
an old Indian chief, La Pier by name,
who has In his possession remarkable
souvenir. It is nothing less than a lasso
Of human hair fifty feet long and of
variegated coloTs. The lasso is very
old, just how old is not known, for old
La Pier, who covers in his cabin on the
banks of the Wenatchee, is not talka-
time to strange callers. Only his priests
of the mission who have known him
long can get anything from him regard
ing the relic.
The lasso, however, speaks for itself
if one gets his eyes ON it. 1t is undoubt-
edly composed Of human hair, and woIn-
ans hair at that. There you see the
dark tresses Of women who once were
doubtless famous, locally at least, as
brunette beauties Farther along In the
rope may be noted hair of brown and Of
auburn, and In half dozen places of
yellow. Hair jet black. straw colored
and even red is shown, but the saddest
of all to contemplate are the long tresses
Of gray and white which are twisted
yards long in places in the lariat.
AS had been intimated, old chief La
Pier will not talk much about the lasso,
but to the priests he has confded its
grewsome history. The hair was taken
by the savages from the heads Of wives
and daughters of pioneers. Many years
has it been in the possession of the old
chief. He will not sell 1t, no matter how
much he is offered, and it is rare that
he will show it to any one except par
ticular priest who has won his conf
dence.
To all others he is exceedingly reti-
cent. He will scarcely talk Of the rope
at all. The lariat has been used many
time on the trail. Old La Piers saw
age ancestors used TO lasso buffalo in
Blackfeot Valley, and when he got it he
increased its length by the hair Of sew
eral scalps he had. It is believed that
probably thirty women have been
scalped to furnish material for this fear
full relic the taciturn chief has in his
cabin.
1t has come to be regarded as very
valuable. The willy old Indian and his
followers think there is some occult
power attached to it, and it is rare that
it is brought to the light. San Fran

How a Girl pressed on $50 a Year.

us it possible to dress on $50 a year?"
| was one Of the questions discussed at the
Working Girls Club the other night.
| One of the girls said:
I've done it-good reason why, though
I've had to. I've had considerable
hustling at times to get even $50 a year
since came to Gotham to take course
in technical designing. The worst of it
is I've never got over my respect for good
clothes. Lots of women who come from
little towns, where clothes are badge
of responsibility, prosperity or disreput-
able poverty, fall into cosmopolitan ways
and say." Oh, pshaw nobody knows me;
it don't matter how look" But can t
must have good gloves and shoes, or
feel that I've lost my last yestige of
responsibility; and honestly believe if
ever 1 get to the point where I can't
have these things shall lose my self
respect. [ believe in clothes, think a
new set of nice clothes will transform
the character of man or woman.
How do I manage? Well, just like
everything else, l had to. studied it
up, made an exact science of it. If you
think of trying it the first thing to be
done is to get a little account book write
few maxims on the fly leaf and live up
to them. Buy nothing but standard goods
for your dresses cashmeres, henriettas,
flannels, serges in solid colors are always
in style. Your dresses will have to last
you three seasons and be made over once
at least, perhaps twice; SO you see if you
buy striking colors or plaids, however
pretty, they will be genuine antiques the
third season, and give you hopelessly
dowdy look. Be girl of three dresses,
one for the street. one for the house and
one for nice. One new dress year will
keep you in three. Make iip your mind
to skip bargain sales. Buy your things
between seasons; you can get winter
cloak in December or January much
cheaper than you can in October.
A good, heavy, short black cloak,
which ought to last for two seasons, may
be had for $40 or $15, spring coat ditto
only as to cost, which should not exceed
s.. 1t pays to buy pretty good shoes.
That's an item that's hard to regulate.
Some people wear out more shoe leather
than others. One pair of heavy shoes
and pair of ties last me a year. Gloves
make an awful hole; two pairs kid at
slips pair, two pairs silk at Soc, wooden,
Isle thread, lace mitts, $1.50. AS to hats,
my limits four. I manage to get them
all out Of a ten, but make them my
self. A supply of underwear will last
for two years at least. hope you won't
think / put that question in the basket,
but I've got a little list of last years
expenditures, which may be interesting.

T<AKE the question
i Of Haberdashery.
There is no other
store that offers SO many
good reasons for its claims
toyour patronage, many
inducements for you to
buy Mems Furnishings,
as this one. A big stock
thai is always fresh and
clean and new, the latest
novelties, the finest quail
ties-the medium quail
ties too - and the lowest
possible prices consistent
with merit. These are the
elements which have made
this department what it is
b
One of the busiest in the
store - its business con-
stantly increasing.
You have found out
that fine imported Under
clothing and Hosiery and
Neckwear costs less here
than at other stores, and
that there is a greater va
riety to choose from. You
are also probably aware
that this store sells for
4oc a white shirt that lays
over any other in the
market at near the price.
But do you know that it
is part Of our business to
make to order Dress
Shirts Of any style or
quality, for any occasion
whatever, and that we
make a specially Of Shirt
