The writer ha6 corralled a western
man in a hotel lobby and was holding
him up for all there was in 1t, which
was a good deal, considering that the
man hadn't been east for ten years or
more, and had never fallen into the
clutches of the journalist in quest Of
an item of interest.

the lariat and its uses" he said, "and
1t reminds me of a time on one occa.

in the canyon country looking for some

gone off the trial to a stream to take
a bath, as you might call it in the east,
for 1t was hotter than blazes and shade
was not plentiful We went into the
water some distance above a turbulent
rapid and a waterfall of twenty-five or
thirty feet, and as we didn't go to
swim so much as to get cool, all we
needed was enough water to cover US,
and that's all my companion took.
'I was, however, more ambitious. and
having been fine swimmer when
was in the east, l thought l would

there wasn't any more sign of saliva

Down I kept going, wnirled and
turned upside down and fired around
promiscuously, until, about a hundred
yards above the final fall, caught on
a rcck. 1t was just high enough to
keep my head out of water, and hung
to it till my finger nails seemed to be
imbedded in it, My partner at this
iuncture showed what kind of a fellow
he was in an emergency, for he ap-

mustang and 1t dropped square over

Death OF a Trnpnlst.


The burial of a Trappist is a pecu.
liar and solemn ceremony. Immedi
ately after a monk is dead, the body,
dressed In the monastic robe, Is stretch
ed on a simple board. the head covered
with the cowl, and then taken to the
monastery chapel. There the body re-
mains until the day OF interment. four
yellow wax candles burning all the
time, and all the monks in turn recit-
Ing the prayers OF the liturgy, night
and day On the day OF burial the
prayers for the dead and a requiem
mass are chanted, after which all the
monks form in procession to follow
their brother to his last resting place
During the funeral procession psalms
are chanted in the mournful tones pc
culiar to the Trappist order When the
cemetery is reached more prayers are
recitei and then the body is slowly
lowered into the grave, not in a coffin,
but simply dressed in the monastic
robe worn during life. A monk then
goes down into the grave to cover his
dead brothers face with a oowl, after
which the officiating priest slowly
throws a shovelful OF earth over the
body Two other monks do the same,
and then the grave is filled up in the
ordinary way. After the burial the pro
cession returns to the chapel in the
same order.
The Trappist cemetery is always
/ placed in the interior yard OF the mon
astery so that the dead may always be

STATE CANDIDATES RULED OUT.

Rooster Emblem,

New York State Democracy Loses Its
Rooster Emblem.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The general term
Of the supreme court has sustained the de-
cision of Judge Beach in the official ballot
case. This forbids the State Democracy
from having n list of state candidates
printed in the column with its local nom-
inees under the emblem of the rooster, the
State Democracy having held no state
convention. AS originally planned the
state Democracy was represented on the
official ballot with the regular Democratic
state ticket followed by the State Democ-
racy's local nominees.
The effect Of the decision of the supreme
court will be to put the State Democracy S
local ticket entirely by itself and to de.
prive tho candidates of whatever advan-
tagc might accrue through their names
appearing, in conjunction with the regular
Democratic state ticket.
