The cowgirl was in evidence AMI

In the calf roping contests. IN.
committee had furnished a herd !,
Hereford calves under one ven,

that could run like deer. ~.
quently they could outrun the fe,,
cowponies that had been specislh

ers for this contest. The calf dId

until 1t was seen that the hard.rid.
ing cowboy, with his noun
stretched to the last inch. could
not get within good roping distanc.
Them too, in the course OF these
many doings. some of these calves
had been roped before, and, lit.
the bulldogged steer. after one e1.
perience they avoid repetition, II
possible. When the calf sees that
the rope is about to be thrown, h.
will frequently stop short, or turn
quickly. OF course the roper feels
bad about it and say so, but the
calf can hardly be expected to sym
pathize. For to be roped means to
be brought up to a stop suddenly
and violently, to be thrown to the
ground by Z vigorous and fast
working cowboy, to be tied and
trussed up. and thus to await the
judges inspection and approval,

seconds and large number did the
feat in less than one minute.
After the cattleman has taken
his full part in the proceedings Of
his convention, and has been re-
called with these sports that are 50
dear to him, he goes to the restaur.
ant that he knows is all right by
experience or by most careful In
CURRY. He passes up the fads and
fashions of the bill of fare, having
neither taste nor desire for the
things whose first function is to
please the palate or show varied
skill in cookery. He knows what he
wants. To his mind, beyond all ar.
gument, it is the only food that
white people ought to cat and the
only food worth while. He ORDER
a choice T-bone or tenderloin steak,
full size, and, as a slight conces.

fried potatoes on the side. With
two cups of coffee this is a meal to
be taken at all times, breakfast
