MARVELS OF THE STOCK WHIP
The stock whip, in the skillfull hands
of the Australian, is not only an article
of the greatest utility, but also a for
midable weapon. Owing to Its great
length—the lash varies from twelve to
thirty feet —and the shortness of the
butt, which measures only eighteen
inches, it is an extremely difficult and
awkward thing to wield, and the begin
ner is apt to seriously hurt himself if
he does not exercise care when prac
ticing.
A well trained stockman, however,
ran hit a cent every time at ten paces
distance, and with the dreaded lash
in his hand, cracking like pistol shots,
can keep a mob of wild cattle in check.
If used with full force, it will cut
through skin and flesh like a knife;
but, unless a beast shows distinct vice,
the stockman uses it more for the pur
pose of instilling fear than of causing
pain. It can also be used as a bolas—
a Patagonian form of the lasso—and
an adept with the whip can catch and
hold a beast by causing the lash to
curl round its legs.—Prom "A Train
in School for Cowboys," Wide World
Magazine.
Harold, aged 5, had been sent to pur
chase a pair of shoestrings for his
mother.
"How long does she want them?"
asked the proprietor.
"Oh, a long time," answered Harold.
"Till they wear out, I guess."
