LASSOES AN AUTO.

In spite of the fact that Indian
hunting in the major portion of the
western states is now rather poor,
the gay small boy still plays cow
boy and plans desperate encounters
with the willy red man. A little
chap was working out a campaign
in New York street Friday, whirl-
ing lariat about his head and look
ing for a convenient Indian on a
pony to rope. But the change of
time brought an automobile along
instead. However, the youthful
imagination was good, and it is real
ly but step from a red devil wagon
to a red Indian after all. He gave
yell and threw his rope. Unfor-
tunately his aim was good, and he
caught the cranking apparatus. The
motor didn't play fair and stop, and
the lad was yanked half a block be-
fore the chauffeur realized that he
was supposed to be the victim of a
cowboy raid. Then he stopped and
cut loose the young hero. The lat
ter says that in future he will de-
vote his energies to cigar store signs.

GOLDEN ROSARY FOR CARDINAL
GTRRONS

The Knights of Columbus are to
give Cardinal Gibbons a golden ros-
airy on his jubilee next month, and
the chain has rather romantic his
tory. The rosary is composed of SO
golden nuggets and is valued at
$1,000. Some years ago a nun in
Newfoundland wished to establish a
home for girls, and in order to do so
asked each visitor to her convent to
give 81 for brick to go in the new
building. While this plan was be-
ing carried out Newfoundland
youth struck 1t rich in the Klondike
and returned home to marry a girl
who was much interested in the pro-
jected home. On their wedding day
he gave the nun so nuggets for the
work, and these were later made
into a rosary. The nun valued it at
500 and offered to sell it to one
of the officials of the Catholic society
so that the money could go to the
business fund. He took it, sug-
gested it be given to the cardinal
on his jubilee and the nun was sent
$1,000 in return for the present.
Not only the rosary and its romantic
story, but the benefit it has wrought,
should appeal strongly to the recipi-
ent.

LOSES 10000 ACRES OF WHEAT.

Kansas farmers do things in a

Fiske is the wheat king of his sec

acres of wheat. This huge field was
sowed a year ago and was really a
bet that it would rain a good deal
between March 1 and May 1. 1t
didn't, and Mr.. Fiske has not cut a
head of grain. Had he won he
would probably have cleaned up
about $150,000. He has now writ
ten friends that he has put seven
steam plows at work on the fields
and will sow wheat on all the
ground they can turn before the
middle of the month. This will
probably be about $4,000 acres and
from this he expects, unless the
weather again plays him false, to
reap 100000 bushels of wheat next
year,
