Women Rule Roost in Lone Star State

Women, many Of them who ride as
well as men, assist in the roundups
on large ranches and are as handy
with the whip and the rope as the
men. The outlaw steer, which has
escaped the cowboys, has poor
chance to beat 1t back to the brush
when two or more Texas cowgirls get
on his trail. One Texas girl has
roped, thrown and tied steer in less
than one minute. Her feat became

reveals itself In the voice only; as

of old in the still, small voice, and In
the voice from the burning bush. The
soul Of man is audible, not visible.

TALE OF GRAFT IN NEW YORK
New Man in Office Demanded $500;
Might Have Had $4,000.

This is a little story of New York
graft, according to the New York
correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times-Star. Unfortunately, the
names may not be used. But it has
been the custom of a corporation in
this city to pay a sort of retaining
fee to the holder of certain politi-
cal Office, just to be let alone. The
corporation heads did not ask any
thing else from the officeholder.
They merely did not want to be
prodded by crusades which presum-
ably had an origin in desire for
reform. The graft payment for
years had been $4,000. "Well like
ly have to pay more, now that So
and-so is in Office" said they, when
a certain man was elected Gle has
the name of being very grasping."
So they sent an intermediary to
the newly elected officeholder, with
power to negotiate. They were will
ing to pay $4,000, if necessary, but
not penny more. The usual pre-
liminaries were gone through. "Your
company will have to come over, .
said the oficeholder.s "I'm no cheap
man. know you've been paying
right along, and you'll have to pay
me more than you have been giving
up to this office in the past. When I
go grating go right" And he
swelled up and looked very import
ened. He asked very humbly how
ant. The intermediary was fright
much the officeholder would demand.
"Not a penny less than $500 a
year." said the officeholder, sternly.
The sum was paid, and it was not
until the officeholder had been aut of
office for months that he learned the
scale on which previous payments
had been made. The information
actually sent him into a decline. He
grieved so over it that he really lost
his health. If one mentions a large
sum of money in his presence nova
days he's apt to burst into tears.

FATS" LOSE TO THE LEANS
Bemidji Heavyweight Travelling Men
Quit in Sixth Inning.

In the first game Of short series
between the Fats" and the Leans
of the local Council of the United
Commercial Travellers played at the
Fair Grounds, Saturday afternoon
the Eats left the field when<sthe
score stood in their favor in the sixth
inning. The game was scheduled to
go seven innings and the umpire
gave the game to the Leans" &C
cording to Captain Hagen, by score
of II to IA.
Features of the game were the
playing of l.. E. Rood and the bat
ting of c. w. Vandersleus of the
Fats" and the catching of E. Koors
for the Leans" At the end of the
second inning the game stood 7 to
2 in favor of the Leans. Captain
Hagen then made some changes in
his lineup, giving the substitutes an
opportunity to show their metal.
The Fats" started a batting rally
in the fifth, and not until they had
annexed ~ more runs to their score
did the rally cease. The game then
stood IA to IL in their favor and
special "Umps" Symons, for the
Fats" called the game on account of
"Rain," he spying a dark cloud with
his field glasses, just peeping over
the horizon.
Jumps Abercrombie declared that
the game should run it's seven in
nings as agreed upon, but Acting
Captain Browning called his men off
the field, thereby forfeiting the game.
After the game the "Fats' had
their picture taken. Throughout the
entire game photographers were
busy catching snapshots of the vari-
Gus players in action.
A second game will be played at
the Fair grounds Saturday, Aug
