with 1t the Cowboy Can Hit the Mark ~
With a Rife.
The cowboys of New Mexico, Texas
and Arizona are skilled in the art OF
using the lasso, said a citizen of Santa
Fe. recently. 1 used to be in the ranch
ing line myself, and once thought I
could throw a rope as straight as any
man living. But that was before ]
mixed to any extent with the Next
cans. AS good as the American cow
boys are, they can't hold a candle to a
greaser when it comes to the roplng
business. They can do things with hemp
that no other mortals can ever hope to
accomplish. AS the Australian stands
out pre-eminently in throwing the
boomerang, so does the ignorant son OF
the land of God and liberty exceed all
other men in this one accomplishments.
A Mexican will chase a steer at full
speed, and while he guides the broncho
with one hand whirl his rope with un-
erring aim with the other, and it isn't
once in a Thousand times that the
moose will fail to catch just where the
rider meant. A favorite trick with
them is to stick a lot of long-handled
knives in the ground close together
within the limits of a narrow circle
and bet with outsiders that they can
ride past at race-horse speed and pick
up any one of the knives designated
with a rope. They are good m arks-
men with the rifle, too, but in this re-
gard the cowboys are fully their peers

Indeed it does-especially the jun.

.Oh. pshaw, Keith I'm going to

underneath her cloak. I'm going
out to the millpond. Won't you come,
too?"
Delighted! Only I must go home
for my runners; didn't know there

me go-won't you, mother?"

Then turning, she saw Archie Hem
bricks at her elbow. She bowed
calmly, but her brothers taunt Of the
morning still tingled in her ears and
she was not inclined to be as gracious
as usual to her old friend.
Archie Hendricks was a sterling
youth-physically, morally and inan-
cially. He was junior partner in the
firm Of Hendricks & Son, iron found
ers. Many a doting Marysville mother
had him in her mind as a prospective
son-in-law. By nature reserved, he
seldom courted the society of the
gentler sex, and, although he was a
frequent caller at the Dayton home
stead, he never paid marked attention
to Irma. However, Irma's secret adj
miration for him was great, and Archie,
from admiring her beauty and unaf-
fected brightness, was drifting into a
deeper feeling. which he apparently
did not are to check.
The cordial greeting between Keith
and Irma had nettled Archie, he knew
not why. So his manner was cool
when he lifted his hat and said:
"Off to the pond?"

girl he cared to skate with was mo-

Archie was aggravated.
Once 1rma separated from her part
ner and skated to the other side of the
pond. Archie was about to follow,
when her brother Jack took her in hand,
and Archie's hopes again were blasted.
Archie's mental thermometer now
registered one hundred in the shade.
He skated fercely. He performed
marvels. He entered a game of tag
and led the entire horde of boys an ex-

Then he wandered off to a deserted

misery.
Keith and Irma, tired of admira-

"It's just too splendid for anything"
responded Irma, who was wishing,
nevertheless, that Archie would ask
her to skate. Why was he so stub
born?

Keith.

Our National Thanksgiving Day.

The national observance of Thanks
giving day was brought about by a
woman Mrs. Sarah j. Hale, Of Phila-
delphia, began about 1874 to urge,
through the magazine of which she
had charge, and by personal CORE
s%pondence with the governors OF
states and with presidents Of the
United States, that Thanksgiving day
should be made a national festival,
and be held on the same day through
out the country. Her suggestion was
adopted twenty years later by Presi-
dent Lincoln. and the observance OF
Thanksgiving by the nation has now
become established.-United Presby'
