WESTERN RoPING MATCHES.
Picturesque Feature of Ranch Life Sur
wives Today.

During meeting of the stock grow
crs on the reservation opposite Miles
City, Mont, there were some roping
matches of more than ordinary inter
est. Of all cowboy sports, roping con
tests are the most exciting, and call
forth more skin and agility than the
man who has never visited the far West
can appreciate, unless he comes to know
it through reading Wild West stories.
When contest of this kind is ar
ranged, a piece of ground is selected,
care being taken that it is level and
free from any dog holes, rocks, or brush
that might bring down horse while
running at full speed, and injure both
it and its rider.
A bunch of 80 or 40 lively young
steers, full of grit, are then driven up
by three cowboys, two of whom hold
the bunch, while the third "cuts out =
the animals one by one for the contest.
Timekeepers are appointed, and the first
competitor comes forward on his pony
He takes his stand 40 or so yards
from the bunch, and fine picture he

WATER, FIRE, AND BRICKS.
Inventor by a Quick Turn Helped In
the Big war.

We associate water with fire in the
same way that right and wrong, black ana
white, and similar contrasts become twin
thoughts. 1t was quite natural, therefore,
that when certain French inventor found
that the mechanical product OF his BRAN
could not for war reasons, be put to a
water purpose he shifted it and is helping
wonderfully in Frances present struggle
with fuel shortage.
The Invention in its original form, holds
An especial interest for the MISSISSIPPI
valley for it offers a solution perhaps OF
some of our .river revetment problems.
The Frenchman's first discovery was
made in a search for the best method OF
protecting levees and slopes subject to
water erosion. He found it IN what he
calls a flexible cuirasse, wall of sand
and cement bricks held together and rend-
cred flexible by means of wire reinforce
ment. A nj Jain cable passes along the
bottom of the protecting surface, and to
this transve Use wires are attached to
which bricksI are threaded by special proc
ess. This system was being installed on
the levees of the Tigris at Bagdad, Meso-
potamia, at the outbreak of the war and
it goes without saying that work then
and there came to an end, as did other
installations IN progress IN Belgium, Ser
bia, Russia, Roumania. and even Bulgaria
The chief reason why the process was
held to be suited to out-ef-the-way places
was that theS bricks We're made on the
spot in small presses operated by petro
leum motors, ynd when the international
| situation stopped all distant exploitation,
and when soon after the French govern
ment put an embargo on the use of the
cement for all. but war purposes, the IN
ventor found himself with fine stock
of the presses but no means OF utilizing
them.
| Then it was that the mans inventive
ness came to his own rescue and OF
| Frances The republic was in sad need
| of coal and was endeavorng in many ways
to utilize the dust from the mine culms
| Our inventor had seen the employees o

INDIAN RELICS SCARCE.
Aborigines Are Gradually Adopting
Modern Clothes Making Methods.

Few objects made by man have
greater interest for boys than Indian
relics and few are more worthy of be-
ing collected. Indian relics of one sort
or another are found in nearly every
part of America, and collections of alb
original weapons, utensils, ornaments,
and handiwork are of great value and
serve to teach us much about the life
and customs of the early inhabitants,
writes A. Hyatt Verrill in 'sThe Boy
Collector s Handbook -
In the old days, and until they be-
came civilized to a large extent, the
Indians used beautifully soft tanned
leather, did their sewing with thongs,
roots and sinews, and dyed their fea-
theirs, porcupine quilts, and ornaments
with berries, vegetable colors, and och
ers. Today they have learned that
sheepskin, kid, chamois, and other com
mercial feathers are cheaper than buck
skin or elkhide, that aniline dyes are
brighter and are easier to prepare than
vegetable dyes, and that cheap cotton
thread is easier to use than sinews.
The beautiful beadwork, formed by
sewing each bead separately to the
buekskin, has largely given place to
beads strung and woven on hand looms
and afterward sewed to leather or cloth,
and silk embroidery floss often serves
IN place of poreupine quilts.
Originally the patterns or designs on
Indian ornamental work really had a
meaning and the totem, or sign, of each
tribe family and individual was often
wrought with moccasins, vests, leggings,
headdresses, etc. Sometimes the Indi-
ans still retain such symbols and en-
| ploy designs with definite meanings, ev-
en- in their cheapest and most tawdry
work, but in great many cases they
merely use the designs which are bright
est and most attractive to the white
visitors to their camps
| To a person familiar with Indian life
and traditions, each design, ornament,
and decoration tells a story, and an
Indian or plainsman can tell the tribe
to which an Indian belongs by the moe
casins, feathers, or ornaments which he
wears. Many tribes still make and use
various articles which are distinctive
and are scarcely affected by the white
mans influence, while others have prac-
tically forgotten and discarded every
thing savoring of savage life or Gus

transition period, in which their hand
iwork is a curious combination of the
aboriginal and the civilized, and the
collector should aim to have specimens
of all these in order TO show the grad.
ual transition of the Indians from a
savage to a civilized race. Do not dis
card or pass by an Indian or Esquimo
article merely because civilized materi
ais are used in making it. Oftentimes
the most primitive and isolated tribes
combine the products of the white men
with natural objects in most curious
manner. South and Central American
tribes often string shoe buttons, safety
pins, brass clock wheels, sealing wax
and pieces of glass side by side with
jaguar and monkey teeth. while other
tribes make beautiful arrow point;
