THERE is STILL A HITCH.

Settlement of the Manitoba School Ques-
81 ton Again Postponed. 80
NJ WINNIPEG, Oct. 81. 1t is learned that
. hitch has occurred in the conference
of the settlement of the parochial school
question now in progress at Ottawa.
Premier Laurier and the delegates from
Manitoba had agreed to allow half an
hour day in each school for the teach
ing of religion by the Catholics, the be-
lief being that this would settle the
difficulty. o..
4 1t might have, as far as the Catholics
were concerned, but when the Protest.
ant leaders here heard of it they raised
big row. Such concession they de-
clared to be violation Of the National
school principles. So the Manitoba pre-.
mier had to withdraw from this agree
,ment, and now, las far as can be learned,
no other scheme can be devised and the
settlement is as far off as ever.

that Mr.. Watson is prepared, in the

time she sttid and celebrated her victory
by plying her quirt to the bucking pony
with vengeance. The grit and persever-
ance which marked this little episode have
been characteristic of the young lady ever
since. From that time she has been al
most constantly in the saddle and can now
ride as we'll as any cowboy on the range.
About yenr ago an incident occurred
which proved that her frontier education
had not been in vain. She was ono day
driving bunch of cattle past the ranch,
riding her fathers horse and using his
saddle, when her little sister Jennie
thoughtlessly ran out to meet her. A
long horned, buckskin colored Texas steer,
which was distinguishable from the re-
mainder of the herd by the numerous
western hieroglyphics which had been
burned and otherwise placed on It's sides,
gave loud below and rushed with low
cred head toward the little child. Myrtle
shouted to the little one to run and urged
her horse to It's topmost speed In tho hope
of intercepting the maddened brute Lit
tie Jennie did run faster than she had ever
run before, but the animal was gaining on
her at every jump. Myrtle's pony was
fully 30 feet In the rear, when suddenly
the cowgirl's lariat whizzed through the
air, the moose dropping neatly down over
tho steers horns At the same instant she
gave tho rope two quick turns around the
saddle horn and the we'll trained cow horse
stopped short, planted it's front feet firmly
far ahead and braced himself for the shock.
The rope became taut with q jerk that
almost parted 1t. The steer turned q COM
plete somersault, lay upon the ground for
q moment as II stunned, then jumped to
his feet and gazed wildly around. Jennie
had by this time reached the shelter Of the
house, 80 the brave girl disengaged the
rope from the animals horns and with q
blow of her heavy stock whip sent him
scurrying away toward the hills. Now she
throws and brands cattle and breaks
bronchos in q way which makes her famous.
