THE ROPING AT PASCO'S.
The Romance of the Cattle Range in
Arizona

pony with his blanket tucked up under
the brow of his saddle cantle, and his
big wheel spurs tinkling to every amb-
ling step of the pinto. All the signs
proclaimed that Turk was from Texas.
His saddle was double-cinch, his rope
was of hemp as thick as your thumb
and only half as long as the Arizona
rawhide RATA, and there were Colo
RADIO conchos on his bride, and silver
spade bit that cost more than the
pinto himself.
He had ridden far, for his eyebrows
were powdered with the fine dust, and
his flannelclad canteen rubbed light
against his saddle flank. Turk Nc
Glory was whistling LA Paloma,"
and calculating what he would do with
the prize-which he had already re-
garded as won. Turk had big, inno-
cent blue eyes that looked straight at
you from the desert wrinkles of his
brown face, little white mustache,
the first fruits of manhood, and good
humored, firm lips. There was some
thing irresistibly new about him that
Carver, the head judge of the roping,
instinctively called him 1.-The Kid"
You shall see Pasco's; brown 'dobe
huts in the midst of a wide, grey plain
tufted in the foreground like upholst-
cry with knobs of sage brush; rail
road cleaning across it like a chalk
line; dim blue mountains, ragged
along the top, set up in the distance.
Out from the town, on the right, a
dusty road led to huge corral, used
for a race course, with steer pen in
one corner. Cow-punchers were saddl-
ing, tightening cinches, mounting and
riding up and down in bustling con-
fusion; crowd was gathering to the
grand-stand on one side; tall fellow
in a white sombrero was bawling for
bets on the contest; and all over glar-
ed the the hot, white Arizona sunshine.
Pascos was hard at it's favorite sport.
Steer-roping is the fine art of the cat
tie ranges; it is also the chief business
of the cowboy. No other great sport is
so closely linked with the daily work
of the soil, no other work has in it so
many of the elements of wild sport.
Turk McGlory, riding into the corral,
felt all the eyes of Pasco's heavy upon
him. 1t gave him sense of heat, and
too little air. He felt somehow that
they knew especially the women

public roping. He wished they also
knew of his wild riding and tying with
the Lazy A outfit, and then he was
glad they didn't Out on the plains he
had felt the strength of every muscle

Here at the pen, where dozen wild
steers were crowding and painting,

nuR PLAIN DUTY.

Democrats have plain and imperative
duty before them and that Is to vote for
the candidates of their party from Gov
ernor down and everyone who voted in
the primary should feel honor bound to
go out and vote the ticket. The State
has prospered and advanced under Dem
ocratic rule. The debts have been set
tied; expenses have been reduced; edu-
cationaI advantages have been largely
increased, ana the convict system has
been improved many fold. The State de-
.rives more revenue from the latter source
thar, ever before and instead Of being a
burden it has become a source of reve-
nue., and its present management Is a
credit to the State. The situation gen.
orally in the State now is just the re-
verse OF what 1t was under Republican
rule.
1t As the duty then of every Democrat
to vote the ticket, not only to continue
the party in power, but to make also a
creditable showing at the polls.

A v1LLA1NoUs COMPARISON.

The New York Age climbs among the
stars and things and gets off this one:
Lilywhitism and Southern Democracy
are obnoxious fungi outgrowing from
similar putrescent psychological decom-
position and should be fed to a crematory
as fast as possible,
Now, so far as "Lilywhitism" is con-
cerned The Age can say what it pleases.
Its all in the family, and if the organ of
the dark contingent wants to say things
about its late allies and brethren it is
none Of our funeral. Let them fight 1t
out and skin their own skunks. The
harder they fight the fewer of them will
be left to vex good people and injure the
country.
But when The Age gets TO mixing
Southern Democracy with any branch of
Southern Republlcanism we kick vigor-
ously. 1t speaks of Democracy, especial
ly the Southern kind, as if it were late
growth. There was "a Democracy and
Democratic party long before the Repub-
lican party, as it now exists, reared its
wicked head above the waters of politics
and cast its baneful eyes abroad in search
of victims.
TO come down to real facts, the pres
ent Republican party is a fungus, or a
horrible emulation from the venality and
corruption and unspeakable rottenness of
the conditions existing just after the war
The Republican party which came into
power during and just before the recon-
structon era is not the party of Lincoln
Rather it is a concrete result of the ma
lice and hatred and all the other inhu-
man passions which grew out of the
bloody conflict of arms, and which yet
has its apostles and evangelists in the
North. On almost every principle an.

nra FEE.

what is a reasonable medical or surgi-
cal fee? is n question the answer to which
frequently depends as much on the ability
of the patient to pay as 1t does on the
services rendered A-short time ago q
specialist came from Vienna, Austria. to
see the only daughter OF ]. Ogden Ar
nour. She is years old and has suffered
from birth with dislocated hip Joint.
In two hours time, we are told. without
the use of the knife, the surgeon had re-
iuced the .dislocation and assured the
parents that the child will be completely
cured when the apparatus put on by him
is removed. For his services he received
a fee of si5o,oOo
This may seem exoroitant pay for a
few hours work. and for the skill and
knowledge which made that work effec-
tive, but to Armour 1t was really trihe
He could have paid ten times that sum
without embarrassment. and IL the cure
is permanent the father will consider the
money well spent. 1t is to be remem-
bered also, that such a specialist could
not have been induced to come from Wen
ma for any moderate amount. True, the
expense of coming and going. and the
time consumed, bear a very small proper
ton to the money received, and on the
other hand the fee bears very small
proportion to the wealth Of the giver, so
that 1t is all pretty well balanced. And,
to a man who loves an only child. de-
formed as this one was, the pleasure of
seeing that chilN well and active and
happy is far above any money consider
alton. Taking everything into consider
alton the fee was not exorbitant, hwo-
ever large it may seem to those who
would not be able to pay the one-thous-
andth part OF the amount.
But there is another point in this con-
nection which is interesting. As stated,
this child is years old. and the malfor-
nation or deformity existed from her
birth. Her father is an exceedingly
wealthy man and she is an only child. 1t
is not reasonable to suppose that he has
neglected any effort or expense to re-
lieve her. No doubt he has employed the
best physicians, surgeons and specialists
in the Union. but they did no good. Yet
an Austrian doctor comes over and in
two hours reduces the dislocation and
leaves with the positive assurance that
she will be entirely well.
In one respect this is q reflection on
the medical men OF the United States,
and they justly enjoy the reputation of
standing at or very near the head of the
profession. But in another way the case
shows the great advance in surgery as
well as the fact that one man has more
knowledge OF the right kind. or knows
better how and when to use 1t, than all
the others. Ii it is knowledge of
special kind this Vienna surgeon certain
iy possesses 1t to q remarkable degree.
Any way we view it the case is a nota-
Bile one. And II. this cure is complete,
and If 1t can be repeated generally, it will
be one of the greatest blessings of mod
ern science. -

dealings with the State during his term
as Governor is regarded generally as

to cost Odell thousands of votes.
Upstate reports gathered by The World
indicate little interest on the Republican
side, and strenuous efforts all along the

now are that Odell will hardly come to
