LASSOING DOGS.

The dog catcher of town in the
Indian Territory can give city dog
catcher cards and spades and then
beat him as a capturer of canine ami
mails. An expert cowboy hunts dogs
as he does cattle. He ropes them the
same way. Glad in pair of buckskin
trousers, and wearing a big sombrero,
with rope in hand or on the saddle
horn, and a siX-shooter in his belt, he
starts down the street on his broncho
looking for dogs. AS he spies one
which has no legal right to roam at
large he sticks the spurs to his pony,
grabs his rope and begins operations.
He usually ropes the dog around the
neck, draws him to the ponys side
and shoots him. He then stuffs the
carcass into a sack attached to the
saddle and gallops off after more
game"
II a stranger is watching the per-
Torrance the dog catcher does some
fancy roping. He will rope the dog
around the front foot or hind foot, or
around the body between the feet. He
hardly ever misses his mark.

s more ticklish business than it is in
he cities in the states. The catcher
not only has to dodge flatirons, mop
sticks, and brooms thrown by irate
women (for a Withholding cowboy
with a six-shooter has no terror TO
an Indian Territory woman), but he
has Indians to deal with.
An Indian thinks almost as much of
his dog as he does of his kids, and II

there is trouble Dogs belonging to
Indians are exempt from taxation. But
the Indians must brand them. The
dogs of non-citizens are the ones dis
eliminated against. If their masters
fail to pay tax on them then they must
pay the penalty of death. In order to
evade the tax occasionally non-citi-
zen FORCES brand and marks his dog
as If it belonged to an Indian. In or

ter the dog catcher must be an expert
on dog brands.

Forty million people live within
nights ride of Buffalo. 1t is expected
that a large proportion of these will
visit the Pan-American Exposition at
some time during its progress. Many
will visit it five, ten, or twenty or more
times. Niagara Falls will prove a
great magnet in drawing visitors to
the Exposition. Altogether it is fair to
expect that the attendance at this first
Exposition OF all the Americas will be
the largest in the history of EXPOSE

Old.

Honor to whom Hoaor Is Due.

The railroads have been greatly
abused as soulless corporations that
were grinding the life blood out of the
people. The great Galveston disaster
has, however, revealed the fact that
the managers Of these corporations
have hearts which are susceptible OF
being touched by the cries of distress.
Their trains were placed at the dis
posal OF all those engaged in relief
work on the coast. Provisions and
supplies were carried forward free of
charge, committees from every sec
ton of the state were furnished trans
portation, and when the refugees from
Galveston began to pour into Houston
and it became a serious question what
was to be done with them the railroads
solved the problem by furnishing
transportation without charge to all
who wished to leave and to any point
they wished to 90. Grand Master An
derson informs US that but for this
fact Houston would have been overrun
with people who had to be CARED for,
and that suffering and distress would
have been largely increased as we'll as
the cost OF meeting conditions which
would have prevailed. Bro. Anderson
desires us, through these columns, to
thank the different roads for the great
service rendered his committee at
Houston. II it were possible we would
be glad to see parallel columns, in one
of which should appear the acts OF
these railroad corporations in a time
OF great calamity and distress, and in
the other the amount contributed by

word. When The Profigate" was
first produced, it ended with the man
who had Janet Priest in his past TAX

but only after long consideration and
many entreaties Pinero consented TO
write a new ending where the wife
comes in in time to dash the vial from
his lips.

Daniel Frohman knew that this
name would absolutely kill the serious
interest of the play but 1t was only

cable from Pinero which read:
