Catching, Tripping and Roping a Steer In Twenty-seven 8econda. To n>i>e, "bust" mid "bog tie" u wild Texas longhorn single banded in twe minutes is u sport which represents the daily work of the range. Men of quick eye and steady nerve eacb start their fifty feet behind the longhorn, which may Jump the arena fence like a deer and again and again dodge when It hears the first swish of the rope. The rope often breaks on the tautening, or tbo saddle may slip, as in the case of Bill Mahaffey, who landed on his hei'd with foot caught In the stirrup and but for the splendidly trained cow pony might bnve been dragged and killed. There goes Cuba Crutchfieid! He overtakes his sister. Swish, swish! Ills lariat zips through the air?a beautiful throw over the horns. Then the cow pony braces, and the rope tightens like harp string. Watching, anticipating every move of his horned adversary, the cowboy now circles the animnl so that the rope is brought from the hoiMs around the hind legs. A word, and the knowing pony makes a sucldeu start. Thud, nnd the steer is tripped or "busted." The rope tautens, and the rider is already running afoot with a short cord in hand toward the steer:, depending for his own sufety on hifftrained cow pony to hold that rope taut and the steer In position. Wltn marvelous dexterity tie "hog ties" with a number of half hitches looped alnrnt the hind feet and one forefoot of the steer. The man stands erect, raises both arms in the air, and Crutchfleld has not only won the steer roping championship, but has ridden down, roped, thrown and hog tied a steer In twenty-seven seconds, within six seconds of the best record ever made.?World's Work. VIOLINISTS UNMASKED. Edison Tolls the Secret of How They Strike the Right Note. Thomas A. Edison, who has an expert knowledge of every known mu sleal Instrument, from the oboe to the neolian harp, was discussing the great Violinists of tiie present age. He spoke with deep feeling. "I have to admit." he declared sadly, "that for a long time those fellows had uie completely bewildered. 1 used to watch them in amazement. Every time one of them shot a finger halfway down the neck of hU fiddle and stopped it In exactly the right place for the sounding note I gaeped in astonishment. Every time, it seemed, he could stop that finger correctly within ouethousaudth of nn inch. That's what he had to do in order to make the right note. And I concluded that he and his fellows were in some way superior to all other kinds of people in the matter of judging distances. "But I know better now. After long and careful observation I have discovered the truth. Those fellows shoot their fingers up and down with an air of great confidence, but they never = know exactly where the fingers will stop. Like any other human being, they guess at it. Then Just as the note is begun by the scraping of the bow their trained ears catch the defect, and they readjust their fingers. Consequently. although the public doesn't know it. the great violin geniuses of the world fill their work with a lot of notes that start falsely."?Popular Magazine. A Change That Worked. Little Alice was writing Invitations for her birthday party and had been instructed by her mother to write the sentence "Please bring no presents" at the bottom of each invitation. The little guests arrived at the appointed time, but each came with a gift for the hostess.* Alico upon being taken to task for having forgotten the sentence said: "No, mamma; I put in every single letter of that note. I only changed the 'no' the least little bit." The note read, "Please bring on presents."?Ladies' Home Journal. Only His Little Joke. A clergyman who was a widower had three grownup daughters. Having occasion to go away from home for a few weeks, he wrote home from time to time. In one of his letters be informed them that be had "married a Uhlow with sLx children." This creatin the household. When the . vicar returned fidfflfl 6T his dangfi-T~ ters, her eyes red with weeping, said "Where's the widow yon married, father?" "Oh, I married her to another man. I ought to have told you that."?London Telegraph. Critioism. "What play did you see when you went to the theater?" " 'Romeo and Juliet.'" "How did you like It?"
