Chicago News: At an engineers

ed himself or having one man upon
whom he could rely for being pune
tual to his time. Just recently he has
fallen from this habit and on several
occasions has been late.
He was behind time q. few mornings
ago and the proprietor called him in
to the Office.
Cant you manage to get here at
your time. James. as you used to dc? '
he said.
II can't sleep at nights now, sir.
and it makes me late sometimes. but
I will try and alter It," replied the
man.
IF 1t is sleeplessness you suffer
from. James. why don't you consult
a doctor and find out the cause?"

Pendleton, Ore, Oct. 2o.-Five
years to the month after he first
mounted "A bucking horse. Enos
Yakima Canutt Of Penewawa,
Wash, was acclaimed champion
broncho buster of the world.
He won the title. together with
$500 cash and a $3.50 prize saddle, at
the Tendleton Roundup Just closed
Eere. in competition with so Of the
best riders in cowboyland.
Canutt is a farmer boy and his early
riding was done on Old Dobbin, the
ranch horse.
When he was 1e years old. he at
tended a small bucking contest at
Colfax, Wash, with his father and
elder brother. In spite of their pro-
tests. he entered the contest. The
horses were not the worst in the west
and the riders were not the best, but
at thai it was quite an achievement
for an inexperienced country boy to
win, for that is just what he did.
A natural sense Of equilibrium,
him to get by" in real buckaro STYLE.
His success led him to venture
farther n in 1914 he figured that
he had developed enough ability to
enter the Roundup. A little bay
mare called Mrs. Wigs took some Of
the conceit out of him by eliminating
him in the p~relinlinaries.
The next year he came back and
showed such great form that he won
second to Lee Caldwell. now captain
of Troop D, Oregon cavalry In 1916
he won contests at Garfield and Day
ton, Wash, and took third at Chey-
enne.
Before coming to the Round-u this
year he won buckinr CONTESTS az
Philomath. Ore. Kalispell, Montana,
and Walla Walla, Wash.
At the Roundup his last ride on
the back of the volcanic "Culdesac"
was declared by the judges the most
sensational ride ever made on the
back of a pitching broncho. The an
dience of 10000 thoroughly concurred.
Canutt is a bulldogger of steers as
well as a broncho rider and won the
all.around cowboy championship as
well as the honors in the bucking
contest

TODAY'S WAR VERSE

human nature in the spontaneous

frequently in an uncomfortable im-
pulse to put a thought into a verse or

as poems but oftentimes their very
lack of polish and smoothness carries
the thought and purpose home to the
reader more surely. The Herald will
