many have wondered how these men

Of the plainsmen how to rope a steer.
The answer is simple. Ever since
these men have been old enough to
straddle horse. they have been used
to riding over rough country and rop-
ing cattle under conditions such as
the average prairie cowboy never saw
nor imagined.
The island of Hawaii contains a
mountainous and rugged land through
which the widest of wild cattle roam.
High up above the level OF the sugar
plantations the mountains are well
wooded and the task of rounding up
and roping cattle in such country re-
quires the greatest skill and coolness

sheer precipice at one side. and for
this reason the Hawaiian cowboy
never makes his rope fast to the sad
die horn before throwing. 1t would
be as much as his life Is worth to do
so. for the steer is liable to break
away when the horse is on ground
that makes II impossible to throw the
animal. and so the roper must let go
of his rope to save himself and his
horse. These Hawaiians are accus.
toned to throw from all angles and up

work was well demonstrated at the

moose rose and fell cleanly over the
steers neck shout of derision went
up from the crowd. They thought 1t
impossible for any man to throw a
steer in that way. But, quick as a
flash, Purdy made fast the rope to the
horn of the saddle, and almost before
the spectators knew what had hap

San Francisco, Cal.--Mrs. Hannah
Friedman, resident of this city, saw
In her vision her eldest boy. who had
uniform of blue jacket of the United
States navy. So vivid was the impres.
sion upon her by the dream that she
obeyed an inexplicable impulse to
write to the naval authorities at
Washington. The officials not only
substantiated the vision, but were
able to bring the mother and SOD to-
gether.
The finding of one son led to the
finding of another. Both young men
now are working in this city, striving
to save suffi icient money to pay their
mothers railroad fare from New York.
Mrs. Friedman and her husband
were living happily together ten years
ago. Their two boys. Mervyn, eight
years old. and Jesse, six, were at
tending school The little family had
little or nothing to worry them.

but the letters were returned. This
led them to think she was dead.
Mrs Friedman dreamed that her
eldest boy was in the United States
navy, He stood before her as in real
life, grown stalwart, looking every
inch a blue jacket. Then she awoke.
The more Mrs. Friedman thought
of the vision the more she felt chat II
