Audience With Music. The
Rendition Reflects Credit apoa

say IS "Well Done"
Music Hall was filled on Saturday
night so far as the seating capacity
was concerned. There was standing
room but it was not taken up. That
was no fault Of the entertainment. it
was deserving Of a full house.
The first number brought Miss Jen-
ME Marshall and Prof. Henry to the
front in piano duet. 1t was rendered
in the style looked for and was very
agreeable for the opening.
The Mandolin and Guitar Club met
with the approval Of the people and
were made cognizant Of 1t by ap-
plause. 1t is sweet music and the
teacher has his pupils we'll in hand.
The next was a solo for piano by
Prof. Henry, who selected Gottschalk' S
Last Hope" The Professor sur
prised and gratlfied his friends by his
Interpretation of his beautiful motif.
His technique, his tempo and his pre-
cision were almost perfect and he held
his audience spell-bound by his easy
and masterful performance, the best
and most scientific piano solo that has
ever been heard in this place.
Miss Frances Bliven is a very sweet
singer and pleased the audience.
The violin solo by Prof. Henry was
good and we'll rendered.
The first number Of part second vas
an overture, The Tower OF London
by Miss Gale. piano, Irwin Lewis, cor
net, and Prof. Henry, violin. This
number was possibly one Of the most
pleasing to the audience, as each who
took part in the number are musicians.
"A Day in the Cotton Fields by
the Mandolin and Guitar Club was a
harmonious plantation melody and was
most heartily encored.
Irwin Lewis cornet solo was highly
appreciated and the young man again
proved his ability on that instrument.
The Trio by Miss Lottie Gale. Myr-
tie York and Prof. Henry was jewel

ed considerable talent in performing
her part so we'll with more experienced
musicians.
Rondo in D for Guitars from Op.
l43, By Miss J. G. Driscoll and Misses
Edith and Winnie Bellam was de-
lightful selection full Of harmony.
The Cantata by girls Of the High
School and Clyde Lewis as post boy
was credit to them. Misses Mabel
McComber, Jean Grlswold and Myrtle
York all did we'll in the dialogue and
singing. We feel Miss McComber is
especially worthy OF mention as her
solos were very ably rendered in pure,
strong but very sweet voice. The young
lady has very promising talents. 1.-The
chorus was full of harmony and vol.
ume for girls Of that age. 1t is de-
cidsd mark Of the training they are
receiving at the public schools.
The people Of Wa dsworth are to be
congratulated upon the acquisition at
last OF a musician with the ideas and
ability possessed by Prof. Henry.
Ragtime is all right in its place but
we do not want our young ladies' to be

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, by a rotating wrist
movement. Some 'ropers" throw a
small loop, hard and fast, almost on a
level others a larger. lazier kind,
which nevertheless arrives
The aim is somewhat to the right of
the object to be roped-say foot and
half on a twenty five-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 casting) in the in
slant of time allowed is Il trick quite
as difficult as throwing properly. The
MeXicans, with their large diameter
pOmmels. have to take only one turn:
L,
require two. The Dommel very often
smokes from the friction created. and
is frequently deeply grooved and al
most burned by the rope. The import
ant part played by the trained COW
pony Is obvious. He is taught to settle
back on his launches the instant the
rope begins to TIGHTEN, and in many
other ways materially to assist his
master.
The second method of throwing is
exactly the reverse. |. O., the moose Is
swung from the left TO right above the
head before release. This is called the
california throw" and possibly gives
little greater range.
The third cast is the corral drag"
which, as its name implies. is for use
afoot and in confined quarters. 1t con.
sists in trailing out the loop on the
ground behind one and swapping it for
ward by an underhand motion.
The lasso's greatest effectiveness. as
n weapon, is when the wielder is
mounted When both adversaries are
afoot its value is very slight. With
cattle or horses it il 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 Won cannot tide past him.
you can wheel your own horse and re-
tire after n successful cast. In lasso-
ing man. if done skillfully, the in
slant of time Is too brief for him
either to throw off the tightening moose
or cut it. And it is one of the most
deceptive things to attempt to dodge.

Just Think.

We tell you right here that these
monopolists, these trusts, these rich
men are not half as much to blame
for wrong conditions as you are.
They act in response to the lower
elements in animal nature. And there
is this to be said for them, they do
something while you do nothing
They want to get richer and more
powerful and they work for it. You
sit down and fold your hands and let
them get richer while you get poorer

Porto Rico Legislation.

The Republican leaders in Congress
Seem to be committed to the policy of
protection against Porto Rico, and the
President has apparently receded
from the position held in his annual
message.
If Porto Rico is not a part of the
United States, and its people are not
citizens, it follows that the island
must be held as a dependency under a
colonial system not unlike that of
Great Britain before the American
revolution.
This is a surrender of the principles
for which we fought in 1875. The Re.
publican party deliberately proposes
to abandon the traditions of freedom
and substitute arbitrary government
in our new possessions That is the
meaning of the proposed Porto Rican
legislation. The people of that un.
happy island are to be denied the DO
litical rights of Americans, the pro-
lection of the constitution, and given
over to the tender mercies of the COM
mercial imperialists-St Louis Post
