they would put them into some kind Of a

Eortnnes I'm Patents

A patent IS a queer kind Of property.
anyhow 1t is an intangible thing, in
its last analysis merely a thought. an
idea. an abstraction. But the idea may
have immense value. The idea of put
ting tho eve Of a needle near its point
instead Of at the other end male the
sewing machine possible That simple
idea. projected 10y n patent. is said to
have brought 13.OO0.OOO I'm royalties TO
Howe and IL certainly formed the
basis for S1O0OOO00O OF profit made by
the sewing machine manufacturers
Mere ideas protected by patents have
to-day i'm the United States a market
value OF more than q billion Of dollars.
Political economists have discounted
our patent system. but it is probable
that 10 has done more to make the
United States thc leading manufacur-
ing country Of the world than proiec-
tive tariffs on financial policies. Al
most every industrial institution i'm the
country depends more or less on pat
.ents. and as shares I'm such institution
are held by most all investors the sub
iect of patents IS Of interest TO many
besides the inventor aud manufacturer.

TRoady for a Throw.l

article much superior to the rougher
ones turned out in Mexico.
There are three general methods Of
throwing with many minor variations
of individual habit The rope is held
in practically the same way in every
case. First is the plain, straight cast,
moose swinging around above the head
from right to left 10y q rotating wrist
movement Some "ropers" throw a
small loop, hard and fast, almost on a
level; others larger. lazier kind,
which nevertheless arrives"
The aim is somewhat to the right of
the object to be roped-sav a foot and
a half on a twenty-hve-foot throw, the
exact instant of release being governed
by weight of rope, wind. velocity of
swing. etc. Judgment comes instinc-
lively with practice The rest Of the
rope is held coiled in the other hand
and released as fast as desired, two or
three coils being retained.
To "snub" the rope wind it about
the pommel after castingl in the in
stant of time allowed is a trick quite
las difficult as throwing properly. The
Mcxicans, with their large-diameter
nOmmels. have to take only one turn:
the American DOmmels. being smaller.
require two. The pOmmel very often
smokes from the friction created and
lis frequently deeply groOved and al
most burned by the rope. The import
amt part played by the trained cow
pony is obvious Tie is taught to settle
back on his launches the instant the
rope begins to tighten, and I'm many
other ways materially to assist his
master
The second method Of throwing is
exactly the reverse. j. e.. the moose is
swung from the left TO right above the
head before release. This is called the
California throw" and possibly gives
Ia little greater range
The third cast is the "corral drag"
which. as its name implies. is for use
afoot and i'm confined quarters. It con-
sists i'm trailing out the loop on the
ground behind one and swapping it for
ward by an underhand motion.
The lasso's greatest effectiveness, as
Ia weapon. is when the wielder IS
mounted. When both adversaries are
'afoot fits value is very slight with
cattle or horses # is an entirely diff
ferent thing The whole essence Of the
matter is to tighten the moose around
an opponent with a jerk sufficient TO
dismount him or take him Off his feet
To that end you may ride past him
swiftly. or. if pursuing him. stop your
own horse suddenly. Or if he is sta
tionary. and You cannot ride past him,
you can wheel your own horse and re-
fire after "a successful cast In lasso-
Ing q man. if done sllillfully. the in
stant of time is too brief FOR him

AFTER A MYSTERIOUS FoRGER

TTORs AND WIFE IN THE LURCH.
A mysterious forgcr Is John J. Burke.
He plies his trade to all his advan-
tages, but rarely reaps profits. Burke
lived before his departure from the
city at 1104 Pullman Place, but his
whereabouts at present are as myster-
ious as his manipulations. He is q
painter by trade and on Tuesday last
he went to the Office of Samuel Gull
bert. the Shipley street real estate
agent, and offered a check with which
to pay the rent of his house, for $40.
The check contained a postage stamp
instead of revenue stamp. and as Mr..
Culbert was not acquainted with the
maker of the check and its endorser,
he refused to accept it. Burke owed
one months rent. and would have Sc
cured $31 in exchange, had his scheme
carried through.

The lasso is a creation Of a certain

the broad prairies and grazing lands,
and its chief utility lies in the stock
business. 1t is almost useless in a
wooded country, by reason of the OBJ
struchons afforded by branches and

hide, cut into thin strips, and braided,
six ply, into a rope of from three-eights
to one-half inch in diameter. They are
quite expensive, good forty-foot rope
costing about 81. On this account, of
late years, hard-twisted grass rope is
used; but the rawhide rope is the best
in a wind, as it is heavier, and when
filed with oil it is not effected by wet
weather. A braided rope, also, has less
tendency to kink than a twisted rope
