The Men Who Lasso shlps.-Writing Of
trip over the Great Lakes, in Harper's
Magazine for April, Louise Morgan Sill
tells OF the lartat- throwers who are even
more slsifful than the western cowboys:
One Of the most interesting persons
connected with the lake traffic is sort Of
brother to the landlubber cowboy she
writes. He is practically the lariat-
thrower Eof these prairie like lakes. but
he does not lasso cattle or anything so
trivial. His game may be wharf or an
8,000-ton freighter, and he never misses
his cast. Sheehan, whose picture
the artist has caught as he threw his
lariat, discoursed upon world wide topics
It's foolish for US to try to taych the
Chinese anything, he said, .whin they're
thousands OF years old and set in their
ways. Better kape our missionaries home

All for a Kiss,

William F. Meyers is state senator
from Butte. Mont. The other evening
he met a society girl on the streets of
Red Lodge and kissed her. She cried
for assistance and Meyers released
her. but the whole state is boiling with
Indignation. The Red Lodge Picket. a
republican paper. has bolted the re
publican ticket because Of the stolen
kiss. The candidate for county attor-
ncy has withdrawn from the ticket, be
cause he Will not run with a man who
steals a kiss. and is fighting Meyers
bitterly The chairman of the county
central committee also threatens to re-
sign. Meyers is a prominent politician
and banker. He was one of the four
republican members of the legislature
who refused 10 vote for W. \. Clark
eight years ago. when almost every
member was tainted with the charge
of bribery. But because of this kiss
Roosevelt may lose Montana and the
republicans are liable 10 lose control
of the state legislature. and therefore
viii fail 10 elect q republican United
States senator All because Bill Mey-
ers would kiss the girls.
