When the lasso is thrown on the head and feet of the hog and he is stretched out so that he can do no harm, the boy gets down from his horse and ties the hog’s feet with pieces of rope carried along for the purpose. horse stands as firmly without as with a rider, being trained to that work and never having done any other. A wagon is sent, for the hog, which is placed in a strong pea and scon tamed so that he can be fatted for market. A few days ago the boy was riding in the under- growth, when he started up a deer. Putting Spurs to his horse he got near enough to the deer to throw his lasso on to his horns, but he did not have time to fasten the other end of the lasso to his saddle before the fleet-footed animal Was off with rope and all. These children have been constantly riding ever since they were big enough to sit on a horse. ‘THE APPROACH OF THE SEASON when Wash- ington epicures can enjoy the luxury of “‘planked shad” reminds the coi ndent there of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat of the following story about Daniel Webster: ‘Webster was an artist in this line, and prided himself greatly upon his gifts. His only rival was an aged slave, a char- acter on the river, called Sam. There were those who declared that Sam was the only one who knew how to cook planked shad, and others protested that the great statesman was su- reme. On sunny spring days, when par- jes of gentlemen went down the river to watch the fish nailed to their boards, sizzling and browning before the blaze of an outdoor fire, it was to have a trial for the championship between old Sam and Mr. Webster. Each contestant was well backed, and the lights of those early political days were all there. First acy gine the shad, seasoned them as he knew would most nearly suit Mr. Web- Ster’s taste, and lald them before the orator done toa turn. ‘Really, Sam, this is the best planked shad I have ever eaten,’ quoth Daniel; and applause rang from Sam’s adherents.
