cover from his astonishment, the
woman threw the pipe out of the
window and cOolly settled back in
her seat, and began caressing doggy.
THE travelling man, as soon as he
could recover from his amazement,
stood up and gazed at the woman
long and critically. In all his life, he
had never been subjected to such an
indignity. He decided not to stand
it, and deliberately grabbed the dog
by the neck and threw it out of the
window. The woman screamed as
the dog went sailing through the
window, and declared that the man
was an absolute brute. In a short
time the train drew into the depot
at Cleveland. The woman, her eyes
flashing fire and her face flushed
with Indignation, hurried from the
smoker and ran smack into the arms
of a big man who was evidently her
husband. The travelling man came
along about the same time. and the

William Townsley, of Cleveland. is
fond OF telling an especially thrilling
story.
Some time ago" said Mr.. Towns
ley, i got on train at Erie, Pa, and
started for Cleveland. When about
half way to Cleveland a woman got
on the train with a small pet dog.
she was refused admittance To the
ladies coach with the dog, and the
, brakeman finally suggested that she
| put the little creature in the bag
gage car. She Indignantly scorned
, the suggestion, and was finally told
that If she wanted TO brave the dis
eomtture that she might find in the
smoking car, she could sit there with
the dog. Giving the brakeman an in
dlgnant glance, she walked into the
smoker. She took seat just be-
hinda husky-looking commercial trav-
eler, who was smoking a pipe.
After they had gone a littue way,
the woman, half-choked with to-
baccO smoke from the mans pipe,
leaned over and Indignantly ex-
claimed: Sir, you are no gentleman"
The man took the pipe from his
mouth, looked around at the woman,
and, after giving her a good, long
stare, remarked: is that SOP He
reasoned that as the smoking car
was made to smoke in. and as the
woman had no business there, she
could stand his tobacco. After his
reasoning he placed the pipe in his
mouth again and began to puff great
volumes of smoke. The woman be-
came almost speechless with rage.
She stood it as long as she could,
and finally her indignation got the
better of her discretion. She delib-

the man, and his daughters are Mar

shots, both splendid cowgirls and both
mighty hunters.
Walker is IS years old, was born in
Kentucky, is six feet one inch high,
as straight as an Indian, and has clear,
calm blue eyes-the Saxon fighting
eye, more dangerous than any other.
He has long been known as d great
bear killer. and for years he support

For the past 20 years he has been rails
ing horses, sheep and cattle. He mar

blood.
In the Bannock war of 1873 he per-

and escaped by crawling through the
brush like snake.
The two girls he brought in town
with him are Marcialette, better
known as Babe" who tips the scales

Susie, 16 years old, weight 145 pounds.

they have a standing offer of 500 re-

they will not equal or surpass, but no
man has yet claimed the reward.
These girls take care of 500 head
of horses. a band of l 800 sheep and
numerous cattle, together with their
father performing the entire work
of the ranches including breaking and
branding of wild horses and all the
other arduous duties which pertain
to stOck-raising. About one year ago
Susie started to round up a bunch of
wild horses which seemed on the point
of getting away from her. They were
on a slightly elevated ridge of rim
rock, which was so narrow that she
was unable to pass them and head
them off, whereupOn. without the
slightest hesitation she spurred her
horse off the edge Of the level on
dead run and landed on the level
ground nine feet below. without being
dismounted or iniuring her horse. and
succeeded in turning the band back
and rounding them up.
The horse upon which she per-

There is a movement in the Roman
Catholic church toward the general
organization of assOcia tiOns similar to

a new movement. for Catholics have
had such associations for years, which
have been social. athletic and frater-

dresses. But. says Association Men, il

church shall be moved with the same
