THE COWBOYS LASSO.

"The cowboys of New Mexico. Texas
and Arizona are all skilled in the art IF
using the lasso." said Louis Edwards of
Santa Fe. II used Ia le in the ranch
ing line myself and once Thought
could throw a rope as straight as any
man living. But that was before / had
mixed to any extent with the Mexicans.
As good as the American cowboys are.
they can't hold candle to q greaser
when it comes to the roping business.
They can do things with hemp that no
other mortals can ever hope to accom-
plish. As the Australian stands ont pre-
cmincntly in throwing the boomerang,
SO does the ignorant son of the land of
God and liberty exceed all other men
in this one accomplishment.
"a Mexican will chase steer ut full
speed, and while he guides his broncho
with one hand whirl his rope with un-
erring aim with the other. and it isn't
once in thousand times that the moose
will fail to catch just where the rider
meant. A favoritc trick with them is
to stick let of long handled knives in
the ground close together within tho
limits of narrow circle and bee with
outsiders that they can ride past at race
horse speed and pick up any one of the
knives designated with rope. They
are good marksmen with the rifle, too
but in this regard the cowboys are fully

A WOMAN HATeR DIscoMFITED.
He Had Reason to- Repent Asking n Qucs
tion About Eve.

There is crusty old bachelor on
Fourth street who is a confirmed woman
hater and who never misses an oppor-
tunity for saying something sarcastic
and disagrecable about the fair sex.
But he met more than his match tho
other day in a plucky little woman,
who, metaphorically speaking. wiped
up the earth with him. much to the de-
light Of his friends. who We're greatly
amused at his discontinue.
The old bachelor inquired why, when
Eve was manufactured of n spare rib.
a servant wasn't made at the same time
20 wait on her The little woman re-
sponded promptly: Because Adam
never read the newspapers until the sun
got down behind the palm trees, and
then. stretching. yawncd out, Isn't sup
per most ready. my dear?' Not he. He
made the fire and hung the kettle over
it himself. I'll venture. and pulled the
radishes. peeled the potatoes and did
everything else he ought to do.
HE chopped the kindling, brought
I'm the coal and did the chores himself.
and he never brought home half dozen
friends to dinner when Eve hadn't any
fresh pomegranates.
The little woman stopped u moment
for breath and Went on with renewed
vigor: "And Adam never staid out
till IL o'clock at a political meeting
hurrahing for some candidate and then
scolding because poor Eve was sitting
up and crying inside the gates. He never
played billiards. rolled tenpins and
drove fast horses nor choked Eve with
cigar smoke.
He never loafed around the corner
groceries and saloons while Eve was
rocking little Gains cradle at home. In
short, he didn't think she was especial
ly created for the purpose of waiting on
him and wasn't under the impression
that it disgraccd man to tighten a
wife's cares little. That's the reason
that Eve didn't need hired girl, and
with it is the reason that her descend
ants do"
She drew another breath and was
about to continue, when the bachelor
pulled his hat down over his eyes and
sneakcd away amid the laughter of the
