The lasso is a creation Of a certain en-
vi1unment and need. Its place IS on the
broad prairies and grazing lands and its
chief utility lies in the stock business
It IS almost useless in a wooded country
by reason Of the distractions afforded by
branches and bushes The finest lassos
are of rawhide, cut into thin strips and
braided, six-1lf. into a rope OF from
three-eightlrs to one half inch in Diane

account of late years lard-twisted grass

best in the wind, as 1t is heavier and when
filled with oil it is not affected by wet

tendency to 11inll than twisted rope.
Cowboys have 2 mixture of lard and

CHAPTER vi.

Two weeks had slipped away, when
the Reynolds carriage with all it's ele-
CANT appointments, drove slowly up the
broad avenue which led to the open
country in the direction of the Soldiers
Home.
Among its luxurious cushions re-
clined it's one occupants woman,
whose glance wandered restlessly from
beneath her lace-fringed parasol.
Suddenly her face flushed, as, COM
ing toward her, she deserted the figure
of young man in undress uniform.
Leaning forward, she ordered the car
riage to draw up to the sidewalk
.Will you take the seat beside me?"
she asked. in sweetest tones.
"Mrs. Reynolds honors me too great
ly," he replied.
And, accepting the place offered him,
the carriage pursued its way.
For few moments there was silence;
then he turned and looked long and
steadily in her eyes.
"At last!" she said. breaking the 81.

THE DOUGLAS SHOE.


The best advertised and consequent
" the best known shoe in the world
today is undoubtedly made by the w.
L. Douglas Shoe Co., Of Brockton,
Mass. The one idea of this company
has always been to sell shoe for
$3.50 which equals in every way the 70
shoes Of any other concern. They are
able to do this on account Of there be-
ing no middle mans profit, as the
goods are sold direct from the factory
to the wearer. In go of the principal
cities Of the country they have their
own retail stores. The goods are made
in all sizes and widths, and few shoes
equal them for style and durability.
The factory at Brockton employs
over 100 hands, and all labor trou7
bles are settled by the state board OF
arbitration. Nothing but union labor
is employed, and pay about the best
average wages Of any shoe workers In
the United States. The factory pay
roll amounts to SIT, 435 per week. This
company makes shoes for men only,
and it is their proud boast that over
one million men wear them.-Denver

FAMILY OF LORD ROBERTS.
England's Great Military Hero's
Devotion to His Wife and Pride for
His Son.

Devotion to His Wife and Pride for
His Son.
Here is a new story, fresh from the
other side, which shows to a remarka-
BILE degree the picture of Englands
greatest military hero in the light of
husband and father. 1t seems that the
most perfect sympathy has existed be-
tween Lord and Lady Roberts since
they We're married, forty-one years ago,
and Lady Roberts, herself the daughter
of a soldier, has always been able to as
sociate herself with the chief interest
in life of her husband. Her work in
India, in the cause of the soldiers
wives, will long be remembered by the
English, and among her own sex she is
as much beloved as Lord Roberts is by
his men.
The death Of their son at Colenso
came all the more severely to Lord and
Lady Roberts, rs they were singular
ly affectionate and united family. The
greatest affection existd between the
distinguished father and his promising
son. Lord Roberts was most anxious
that his son should achieve distinction
in some profession, and his valuable
experience and sympathy were always
at his sons service. "Bobs" was very
proud of his sons prowess in the sad
die. At race meeting, some time ago
in Ireland, Lieut.. Roberts rode clean
away from the field and won by a doz-
en- lengths. ''My son must not be en-
coura ged to ride; soldier has to keep
all his abilities for the SERVICE" sa!t
Lord Roberts; and then, with a burst
of paternal pride, "but in all my life
never saw anyone ride better race

ROCHESTER,, February 3.-Three years ago
Charles Benedict was convicted in West Web
ster for shooting man. He appealed, but
the appeal has never been argued. At about
O'Clock last night three men, heavily masked,
called at the home Of Benedict, and when he
came to the door they seized him and took
him some distance to spot where prepare
tons for his arrival had been made. Over a
roaring fire was a kettle of tar steaming in the
wintry air Benedict clothing was hurriedly
removed and hot tar from the kettle was
poured him. Then he was beaten aud left to
care for himself. Benedict reached home
again as best he could, and today, while con
siderably the worse for his experience, he is
able to be about town.
The matter was reported to the town au-
thorities, and officers are searching for evi
dence which may lead to the identification OF
the ASSISTANTS. Benedict says he does moi
know who they are.

DON'T LOOK FOR FLAWS.
BIZ Ella Wheeler IINoor.

By Ella Wheeler lIGlcor
Don't look for flaws as you go through life;
And even when you find them
1t is wise and kind to be somew hat blind,
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has hint of the light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding;
1t is better far to hunt for a star
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The current of life runs every way
To the bosom of Gods great ocean;
Don't set your force 'gainst the rivers course
And think to alter its motion.
Don't waste curse ON the universe;
Remember it lived before you;
Don't butt at the storm with your puny form
But bend, and let it fly DER you.
The world viii never adjust itself
To suit your within TO the letter;
Some things must so wrong your whole life long
And the sooner you know it the better
1t is folly to fight with the Infinite,
And go under at last in the wrestle
The wiser man shapes into Gods PLAN
As the water shapes into the vessel.
