THE SHEER TYING RECORD.
Oscar Roberts Has Made . New One tor
 Arixoua.

A new steer tying record for this ter ritory was established by Deputy Sheriff Oscar Roberts in the contest at Masy on Friday afternoon. The contest was held for the purpose of getting rid of some Fourth of July funds which had been held over from the original entertainment and incl dently for the development of the art of steer tying.
 Mir. Roberts accomplished the job catching and tying the steer in 3Oi seconds, for which he received $32.50. John D. Rokfeller was not making money any faster during that trying half minute.
 Other contestants were Bob Gillian. 1851; Tom Anderson, l:6i; Joe Gibson, 1:O2; Collins, :37t; Jim Gibson, 1:5i; Frank Flores, :34; Will Anderson, :46a. Leo Brizzee and Barkley broke their ropes and Jones and Jim Ander- son did not finish the contest.
 There is matter of dispute about the steer tying record of the world. It is claimed that it is held by Texas boy, IS seconds. But according to the rules which prevail in this territory such feat would be impossible. To tie steer in half minute almost re- quires that the job shall be accom- plished in the air.
 That contest ought to have had the presence of Mir. Boykin, the biograph representative of the government, for whom Mir. Roberts tied a couple of steers early in the week.-Republican.

than this. If you look at the early

when Ice Covered Euroue.

During the long tertiary epoch, when
opossums disported themselves on the
site Of Paris and mastodons tramped
along the valley Of the Thames, the
earth was in the throes of mountain
making. The Alps, the Himalayas.
the A~lleghanies. the Andes. attest the
power of her activity in those days. At
their termination our continents stood
greatly higher than they do now, and
this aided their glaciation. although it
does not fully ccoun for it.
But as they became loaded with ice
Europe and America gradually, and we
may venture to say contemporaneously,
sank. This was inevitable. Owing to
the extreme heat and pressure prevail
ing in it's interior the earth is an m
inently elastic body. Its surface ac-
tually bulges in or out with a very
slight increase or decrease of the load
upon it.-Edinburgh Review.

N AND HIS r q
Origin Of the Practice Of Speculate
Ing la Thcater Tickets.

so
The practice OF specializing in thea
ter tickets. strange az it may appear.
was started by the elder Dumas. He
%patronA:cd II Paris barber named Por-
cher, and one day this worthy while
shaving the novelist asked him why he
did not sell the tickets given him by
the managers OF the theaters where
his plays were produced.
ITS whom could l sell them:" asked
the author of the ''Three Musketeers."
"Why to me. if you like" replied Por-
cher. And what would you do with
them:" asked Dumas. That's my
business replied the barber. contin'
uing to lather the bronzed face of the
famous story teller.
But l give you tickets whenever you
ask for Them" said Dumas. All. One
or two are not sufficient for my pur-
pose" responded Porcher. Il must
have all your tickets. and every day
too" And you will pay for them!'
said the dramatist. Cash. was the
simple yet practical reply.
Dumas at that moment was very
badly in need of money, so he at once
concluded the bargain. Porcher. who
shortly after this gave up shaving and
cutting hair. made similar bargains
with other authors and quickly became
rich.
