81 was at the big lasso contest be-
tween Penn Sackett and Dick Corey.
They was both fine lookin' fellers,
though Sackett was the favorite.
"The men, mounted on the best horses
to be found on two ranches, rode out on
to the rope ring staked out for 'em
and begun to throw. They was con-
sidered the best throwers anywheres
about and threw true every time. But
they was as good dodgers as throwers,
and every time one of 'em saw the

Then the two had it till their guns was
emptied and both of 'em was layin'
limp on the ground.
"Corey was dead when they picked
him up. Sackett lived long enough for
a parson to hitch him to Olive.
That's the end o. the yarn" contin-
ued the narrator after touching up his
horses. "Olive Sackett wouldn't never
have no more lovers nor marry any
man, though some mighty rich ranch
ers tried to git her. When her father
died without leavin' her anything she

TAHE stage stopped for supper at
the Widow Sackett's. She was
young to be a widow and a
very pretty widow at that.
When we drove on I, being seated on
the box by the driver. asked him about
her, remarlling that she was of the
melancholy rather than the vivacious
type.
"She was gay enough onct," replied
the driver

flock around her like flies on to a mo-

"As time went on the field of Olive
Ross lovers dwindled down to two.
That was because everybody knew that
one of these two was a-goin' to git the

But jist as everybody supposed he'd

Etiquette ADVICE.

A girl is often in doubt wheth-
er or not it is considered proper
to ask a man to call. The an
swer is. 1T all depends" In
some localities it is considered
the thing for woman to extend
an invitation to call to a mascu-
line admirer, and in others such
invitations are not extended un-
til the man asks for this priv
ilege. There are advantages in
both methods. A girl should let
her common sense decide.
For instance, If an admirer
gives every evidence that he
would like to continue the ac-
quaintance and hints tactfully
for an invitation to call, then a
girl would be quite justified in
taking the initiative and extend
ing the privilege which she can
see is desired greatly. Many
men will not ask outright for
permission to call, knowing that
there is nothing left for the girl
to do under such circumstances
but extend the invitation. But
any woman with common sense
can see if such an invitation
would be welcomed and extends
it if she thinks she is justified in
doing so.
