Temptation to rope one. He tried to

dent OF ours.
'',The rope went wild, and so ala the
horse Roosevelt had ridden some dis
tance from us, and before we could
come up one OF the cows charged him,
We expected OF course, 10 see his finish
right there.
JUMPED THE cow
81 had my gun out and was trying
TO get shot at the COW, when Roose-
Welt performed the most daring act OF
his life, not barring his charge up San
Juan hill. He lodged the COW when she
charged, and before she could turn he
made leap and was on her back,
"Then he did show the boys that he
could ride. The cow did not know
what to make OF the performance, and
nfter q pitch or two she started on a
dead run down the gulch, through the
chaparral and off into the valley.
"'Teddy stayed with her until she
was tired out and we had oyertaken
them. one of the boys roped the COW
and he bounded Off, smiling as usual
and the only comment he made was
that he had never enjoyed ride
more"
There are innumerable stories Of
Theodore Roosevelt's proves and
courage In the western country, of his
fighting hand to hand bear, of his en-
durance of privation and stout heart In
trying moments, of his eagerness, over
coming fatigue in the hunt of the
mountain sheep, and all these make him
dear TO the western heart.

TESTING NOT HIS FORTE.

Some Humorous Instances Of Missing
Point Of "Funny story"
DR.. Archibald Drum, a member OF
the select circle that surrounded Mrs.
Hashley's festive board, was no doubt
a nice young man, but as an exploiter
IL merry jests he was a unique and
monumental failure
No matter how obvious the point Of
his funny story lie. was sure to
blissfully miss it and leave his listen
srs in mild state Of wonderment as
to where the mirth began.
One attempt was at dinner, when
he asked Mrs. Hashley the time-hon-
ored riddle, "Why is the tin can tied
to a dogs tail like deathY Everybody
knew the facetious answer-"It is
bound to a cur"-but, led by their
polite landlady, they all gave it up,
wbereat Archibald announced that ut
is likely to happen.
Another of Archibald's bonmots was
! n tribute to his breeding. The prob
/ lem presented was as to what part OF
a dog Is seen when one uses an X
ray upon the CANNES lungs, the Happy
solution being that one sees the seat
OF his pants.
But our hero not liking the plebeian
sound Of the word pants, gave his
answer. You will see the seat Of his
trousers
"why is a lawyer like a restless
sleeper?" queried Archibald, and every
one wondered what his version would
lie of the answer. which is, First be
lies on one side and then on the
other"
"Why, don't you know that one?
lie exclaimed scornfully, First h'
he lies on one side and then he layi
on the other"
