Hard Heads Matched.

Among the songs of Robert Burns
is one upon whistle used by a Dane
who visited England in the retinue OF
Anne of Denmark. This whistle was
placed on the table at the beginning
of drinking bout, which was won
by whoever was last able to blow It..
The Dane conquered all comers, says
the story, until Sir Robert Lawrie Of
Maxwelton, after three days and
nights hard. contest, left the Scandi

FRIEND IN NEED REWARDED.
Picnic Party, Helped Out Of Dilemma,
Unarateful to No Purpose.

A big picnic wagon, loaded with
dozen men, numerous hampers and
baskets of eatables and several kegs
of beer, was moving south on Troost
avenue just after midnight Sunday
morning, says the Kansas City Times.
1t was raining in torrents They
were beyond the city limits when the
sleepy horses drew the Wagon to the
side of the street into a rut and it
toppled over. The hampers, baskets,
kegs, and merry party were piled into
a heap without injury to anything ex.
cept few pies and sandwiches. The
horses stopped and the merry party
held council to determine how to
right the overturned vehicle.
Just then the good samaritan ap.
peared. He lived across the street
The picnickers appealed to him for
help. He harnessed his team, pro-
cured a long chain and after a long
pull in the mud and rain succeeded
in drawing the wagon from the ditch
and righting 1t. He helped the once
merry party load their impedimenta
and then suggested compensation.
What? the party cried in chorus.
II think the time of myself and
team is worth something, here in the
middle of rainy night" the samari-
tan said
go to grass" is free translation
of the picnickers individual and col.
lectiye replies as they clambered into
their wagon and drove away.
The samaritan thought a great deal
and said few things. Then he saw
a keg of beer lying in the ditch which
had been overlooked by its owners.
Virtue is its own reward" he
quoted, and added, But the keg OF
beer will help some."
He fastened chain about the keg
and hitching his team to it drove to
his barn.

driven into the big corrals, from which
there is no means of escape. Many
horses break through the lines of driv-
ers and escape. More men on fresh
horses are sent back to attempt to
round up these horses. while the main
body of riders keep on with the drive.
At the entrances to the corrals, which
are often mile wide. riders on fleet
horses are stationed. to see that the
wild creatures are turned in the right
direction.
1t is at the entrance to one of the big
corraIs that the spectator usually takes
his stand toward the wind-up of a
drive. First he sees in the distance a
cloud of dust. Then there comes to
his ears the noise Of the pounding of
foals Soon, sweeping down a nearby
mountain and through narrow ra-
vine, surrounded by clouds OF dust,
come the wild band, followed and herd

forgetful of all else in their desire to
plunge their noses deep in the cool
water. Long and gratefully the wild
horses drink. while the colts and fillies
neigh and caper around. After drink
ing it is easy to place the tired band
in the inner corral.
With two hundred men driving. four
hundred horses are a fair result of one
days work. This means that upward
of fifteen hundred horses were started
at daybreak: but as the day advances
and riders and horses grow weary, it
becomes harder and harder TO hold the
wild creatures and impossible to over
take and turn them back when once
they have broken through the lines.

in Indianapolis, to fight against the
passage of the shippers bill now wait

he said that one of he bitterest lights
ever waged in he Indiana general as
sembly would be made by the differ
ent railroads to prevent the passage
of the bill. The bill passed the house
two weeks ago by a fair majority
vote. According to the statement of
the local official the railroads will
ask that three sections of the pes
ent bill be struck out before it re-
ceives the sanction of that boJy.

the present week will be one of the
hardest fought in recent sessions of

End of the Wild Horse in
United States is Now in
Sight.

The end of the wild horse in the
United States is in sight. Indeed. it i:
already practically at hand. The east
ern part of Washington has for years
been the home of the wild range horse
Now, with the encroachment of the
farmer, the day of range riding and
horse raising on the open plains has
passed.
The last big roundup of wild range
horses was recently made in Douglas
county, Wash, and some three thou,
sand horses were driven into the cor.
ais. Douglas county has heretofore Of
fered an inviting range for the horses
and today there are still thousands OF
the beautiful creatures running at
large there on the sandy stretches OF
bunch grass and in the deep green
sloughs of the canons. The rapid in
crease of wire fences, has become a
paratively easy to corral them.
In former days the wild range
horses. when captured. were sold for
from $3.50 to $1,000 a head. delivery
on the range. The demand for these
horses. which are extremely hardy and
absolutely sure-footed. has increased
rapidly in recent years. however, with
the result that prices have gone soar
ing. Many a range rider has found
that he owned enough wild horses to
make him independent for life at the
prices to be realized in the horse marts
of the Central and Eastern States.
There is no more picturesque sight
in the world than a large band OF wild
horses, with the attendant colts and
fillies. coming down into a canon to
water or grazing on the open prairie.
The conduct of big roundup by the
range riders is most interesting to the
outsider. When a roundup is decided
on, the horsemen usually organize into
a legal body and elect a foreman for
the great drive. This foreman is al
ways an old rider and horse owner who
enjoys the full confidence of the range
riders. The first part of May is the
time usually chosen for the roundup.
From one hundred and fifty to two
hundred riders are generally required
to make a successful drive.
A roundup entails days Of rough

MORE CARS FOR GRAIN ME-
Advent Of Warmer Weathed Eases
the Coal Traffic.

With the ease In the immensely of
the coal traffic along the Pennsyl.
vania lines, occasioned by the warmer
weather, the railroad. according to the
statements OF a freight official at the
station yesterday. can now turn its
attention to the handling of grain and
lumber, the two great commodities
which have suffered lack of Transport
tation probably more than any other,
due to the great car shortage on all
divisions of the Pennsylvania.
For the past week the railroad has
been forwarding it's cars to grain
dealers and shippers in order to ease
the great blockade of that cereal. The
lumber dealers. however, have Il com
plant to make and according to the
statement of a local lumber dealer
yesterday it has been hardly possible
for his firm to receive any large ship
ments, because of the car shortages
on other divisions of the Pennsylvan-
ia, and other railroads as well. He
said that for the past five months his
firm had been unable TO secure only
about half of the material which they
had ordered and then the shipments
were received at late dates. In speak
ing of the local Pennsylvania division,
and of Richmond's advantages in get
ting ennngh cars IN ship its products.
he stated that he had no trouble in
securing enough cars, but the rub
came in when he wanted to secure
humber from northern and south
western states.
1t is thought that with the advent of
another period of cold weather, the
railroads will again have to turn al
most their entire attention to the
transportation of coal, and as a re-
suit the lumber and grain dealers will
have to be content with any kind of
service offered them until the sum-
mer months.
