EXPERTS IN USE OF WHIP
Really Remarkable Feats Credited to
Australian cowboys-Used as
Lasso.

The stock whip in the skillful hands
of the Australian is not only an ar
ticle of the greatest utility but also a
formidable weapon. Owing to its
great length-the lash varies from IL
to 30 feet-and the shortness Of the
butt, which measures only IS inches,
it is an extremely difficult and awk'
ward thing to WELD and the beginner
is apt to hurt himself if he does not
exercise care when practicing. e. a,9.
A well-trained stockman, however
can hit cent every time at 10 paces
distance, and with the dreaded lash ir
hts hand, cracking like pistol shots,
can keep mob of wild cattle in
check. II used with full force 1t will
cut through skin and flesh like a knife.
says the Wide World Magazine, but
unless beast shows distinct vice the
stockman uses it more for the purpose
of instilling fear than of causing pain.
1t Can also be used as bolas--a
Petagonian form of the lasso-and an
adept can catch and hold, beast by
causing the lash to curl around its
legs.
The skill of the Australian with the
stock whip is more than equaled by
American cowboys with the lasso.
One of the guild by the name of WEIGH
has a pretty trick called the crinoline,
in which the rope is kept whirling
around the body in concentric rings,
like a huge and very animated hoop
skirt. This trick looks ridiculously
easy, but the beginner will find that
like many simple looking feats it can
not be learned in day; he will also
probably discover that Manila rope
is painfully hard when it comes in
contact with the head.
Mr.. WEIGH will undertake to throw
this lasso around any portion of a
horse or it's rider as it passes at a
gallop and the skillful manner in
which he gets his rope about horses
legs as the animal lifts them from the
ground for an instant, in the act of
cantering, is nothing short Of mar
velous. He can also completely tie a
man up from a distance of 30 feet by
throwing a succession Of half bitches
over him with astonishing accuracy.

SPANISH MINISTER SHIFTED

Madrid, Spain, Jan. 1.-THE Mar

Lisbon.
Washington, Jan. 12-Marquis de
Villalobar, the Spanish minister, was
greatly surprised when informed that
he had been transferred.

day to the effect that he had been the
leading figure in an unpleasant epis-

Mountain Preachers veraoity.

from his first visit to the city told his
neighbors he had seen piece of
made ice" foot thick. His church
stood for purity and was strong on dis
cipline. He was promptly dismissed
from the pastorate for lying. Shortly
after a member of the. discipline com.
mittee visited the city and saw the
same miracle. On returning he
preached the matter cautiously by say
ing that they might have been too
hasty in turning out their preacher.
Forthwith action was brought against
him and he escaped by paying the fare
of the committee to the city. On the
testimony of five men that mountain
church now believes in the possibility
of ice in summer.

SPECIAL M. {. REVIVAL
Continues to Attract in Attendance
and Interest.

A large audience assembled at the
Central NJ. e. church Tuesday even
ing to take part in the special meet
ings now being held. The first af-
ternoon service was held on Tuesday
and quite a large number came out.
Many of those present pledged them
selves to learn some new passage OF
scripture every day during the pro-
gress of the meetings. After the u.s.
ual song service, Evangelist Baker
spoke from the words found in ST.
John l, and part of the 14th verse,
and also the 10th verse, And the
word was made flesh and dwelt among
us, full of grace and truth; and OF
His fullness have, we all received,
and grace for grace. Grace is love
in action and in it's work partakes OF
many forms and uses. Many OF the
cloudy ideas of the people are being
swept aside by these talks. Perhaps
the most potent force for good in
these meetings is the simplicity and
plainness of the sermons preached.
The various discourses are all brought
down to the comprehension of the
average mind and if the people do
not understand, it is not the fault OF
the evangelist. Thisris indeed refresh
ing, as questions of theology are Of
ten so foggy in the minds of the peo-
pie that it is often hindrance to
the cause of Christianity and the
work of the church. Three young PEG
pie requested the prayers OF the
church in their behalf and short al
! ter service was held.
