to ride out from the starting point In
different directions. their routes di.
verging like the spokes OF wheel.
When out some three or four miles
each man begins to ride at right
angles to the course he took outward,
maliooing the meanwhile with view
to frightening the cattle toward the
central point. Soon the thousands of
cattle are gradually undergoing the
process Of being pushed toward the
central point. They are gradually
pushed in and in until finally every
COW and calf of the big circumference
Is pushed into compact herd, in this
instance in the headquarters corral.
With this preliminary, the actual work
of the roundup begins.
One member of the outfit who has
established his claim Of priority with
the rope, wh,ps the stiffness out of
his trustiest lariat, ties one end to
the saddle horn, swings the other into
big loop and goes forth to conquer.
His work is swift and sure. Time after
time he swings the big moose around
his head and sends 1t hurting around
the neck or forefeet of some unbrand.
ed calf The calf jerked swiftly from
its feet, the roper spurs his horse to
IA swifter gait and soon hauls up at
the branding fire. some fiftv wards dis
tant, with the calf in tow. There half
dozen cowboys fall on the strug-
Cling form and hold it to earth, while
the brander sears it's side with his
hot iron.
While the brander Is at work an
other "puncher" is busy cutting the
company's mark in the calf's ears.
Once the entire herd is culled out, the
days work is complete. The outfit"
breaks camp and journeys on to some
other point of operation.
Most ranches during late years have
laid out regular roundup sites. On
these they have built corrals of plank,
with wings extending out in front to
aid in showing the roundup herd into
the Enclosure. With the herd thus con-
fined, the work is easy. The outfits
are usually ont for severals weeks.
Sometimes the roundup lasts over
into the second day In such instances
the herd collected has to be held to-
gether by night watch, in which the
"puncher" force works in relays of,
say one.third of the whole force each
BY this ARRANGEMENT each man finds a
chance to sleep for a portion Of the
night, standing guard for the remain
der.
In favorable weather this latter
named work is tolerable. When it
does not come too regularly it is en-
joyable. With the herd all safely
'bedded," that is, settled down for the
night, the puncher on guard casually
throws his leg over his saddle horn
begins a steady backward and forward
pace and unites his voice with that of
his fellow guardsmen in singing to
the herd" These songs, generally
plaintive in melody, serve a twofold
purpose. They soothe the uneasy
spirits of the long-horned sleepers and
at the same time give vent to the lone
some feeling of the singer.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 15.-FOrmer Gov
ernor Curtis Guild, at the chldren's

Mr.. Guild brought to the meeting a

He cautioned the children to remem-

Israel Putnam created the flag and

to sew it together. The credit ought

PENS PRIZE POEM.
Insane Woman in Minnesota institu
tion Gets $3.50 for Verses.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 15.-Minnesota
has poet, or rather poetess, who has
achieved measure of fame and for
tune despite the fact that for sixteen
years she has been an inmate of a
state hospital for the insane.
Some time ago a magazine offered
prize for the best literary contribu
ton to be submitted within a certain
time. The winner was to be present
ed with free transportation to Europe
and return.
Among those who entered the con.
test was a woman, a member of a
well known Minnesota family. So ex.
cellent was her effort considered that
the prize was awarded to her.
When the editors of the magazine
learned who she was, and that because
of environments she would be unable
to take advantage of the prize she had
won, they sent her check for $3.50.
The woman was placed first in the
hospital at Rochester on May 8. 1894
In 1907 she was removed with other
patients to Hastings, and on May H.
1909, again was transferred, this time
to Anoka, where she still is held.
She's bright-unusually bright in
some ways" said A. d. Ware, assis.
tant superintendent of the Hastings in.
stitution, this morning. "but she has
delusions. Her insanity is hereditary
A sister, niece, and uncle are inmates
OF Minnesota hospitals"
The woman is Miss Betty Clay com.
mitted in 1894 from Ramsey county to
the Rochester asylum. At times she
is perfectly rational and has full pos,
session of her faculties. Her dementia
is of the spasmodic type and is accom-
panied by weird delusions.
1t is said that some of her best
verse has been written while under
the spell of these delusions. Her des
criptions are weird and uncanny, al
though charming. She seems to have
the faculty of keeping the hallucina
tions of her dementia without losing
her natural powers and gifts. She is
well educated and refined.

FRANK GOULD cABLED ITEM"
It Meant Bessie Devoe Could Get Only
$4,000 in Her Suit.

New York, Nov. 15.-"Ten," Frank j.
Gould cabled laconically from Europe
1t appeared that ten" was $4,000,
the heart balm which Mr.. Gould paid
Miss Bessie Devoe, the dancer, to end
her suits against for alleged breach of
promise of marriage. Miss Devoe had
demanded 100000 to solace her
wounded affections. Incidentally, she
made public letters expressing her
fervid affection which she said Mr..
Gould had written to her.
Her suits never came to trial, and
secret reasons why they did not were
revealed before Justice Finelite in the
city court. Henry S. Wallenstein, a
lawyer, sued Miss Devoe for $1,000 as
due him for legal services in her &C.
ton against Mr.. Gould and in a suit
she brought against woman who,
Miss Devoe alleged, slandered her re-
garding her action against Gould.
Mr.. Wallenstein, who had w. S.
Armstrong for his lawyer, testified that
Miss Devoe retained julius Silverman
to push her suits. Wallenstein was
clerk in Mr.. Silverman's office. Silver
man died and Miss Devoe called up
his Office and asked who would press
her suits now. Wallenstein said he
would If she retained him, and she did.
Wallenstein swore further that he
went to the Western Union building
and saw Mr.. Taylor, who seemed to
be Frank Goulds manager, guide, phil
osopher and friend.
Mr.. Taylor, Wallenstein testified,
said he would try to induce Mr.. Gould
to make a compromise with Miss De.
voc. After long negotiations it was
decided that $4,000 would be paid to
Miss Devoe provided certain letters
she had were surrendered to Mr.. Tay-
lor. Wallenstein asked Miss Devoe
for the missives; she told him she had
hypothecated them with a woman,
whose name he did not mention, as
security for loan of $3.50.
Wallenstein testified further that he
visited the lawyer who represented
this woman and discovered that the
letters were in the Equitable safe de.
post vaults. Two thousand dollars
was demanded to return them, but a
compromise fixed the price of delivery
at $l,400.
Back to Mr.. Taylor went Wallen-
stein and was informed that Mr. Gould
was in Europe. Mr.. Taylor said he
would cable the sum set by Mr.. Scott
to Mr.. Gould. Next day Mr.. Taylor in.
formed Wallenstein that Mr.. Goulds
reply was ten" which was taken to
mean that Mr.. Gould would give Miss
Devoe not a cent more than $4,000.
julius Silverman's heirs alleged that
after retaining him as her lawyer, Miss
Devoe borrowed $1,000 from him, Civ
ing as security a fine sapphire pen
dant. The heirs sold the pendant at
auction for $3.50 about fortnight ago.
