sheen LED to Their Death.

A Chicago Herald reporter during a
visit to one of the big slaughter houses
at the Stock Yards was introduced to
Hans and sPete." Hans proved to
be stolid old German of the shepherd
class, and Pete was not his dog, but q
grizzly old ram, or rather . wether, with
tinkling bell. These two between
them manage to lead the thousands upon
thousands Of sheep butchered by the firm
to their doom. When Hans stop
ped Pete stopped too, rubbing his
shaggy coat against his masters big
boots. He was admonished to quit his
confidential manner, but he persevered
until Hans produced crust of bread
from his capacious side pocket. Pete
received the dainty morsel with loud
bleat, and began munching it presently
with great relish. Being formally intro
duced to Hans and Pete the Herald man
followed them to the large sheep pens
in the yard, whence q covered gangway
leads up to thesecon6 story of the slaugh-
ter house. At the head Of this gangway
four burly butchers are stationed during
the Strengthening seaaon, welding
ugly-looking knives, which are
sharp as razors. A supply of the
murderous instruments is suspended from
the belts which the men wear around
their waists. Ordinarily it would take
at least two men to carry one sheep up
the gangway to the second story, where
one butcher would have hardly sufficient
work. AS It is IN this case. Peye per-
forms the work so etfectually that the
four expert butchers have no time to
wipe their big knives. Pete is led into
the sheep pen. where the tinkling Of his
bell at once becomes matter Of general
comment among the woody quadrupeds.
As soon as they become satisfied tina.
Pete is one of their own race, which they
ascertain by much shifting and gossip in
their own language, they follow him
everywhere, even unto death. After q
brief accommodating trip around the pen,
driving the stragglers up to the main
flock, Pete makes for the gangway and
bounds upward, the rest following as
fast as the narrow passage will permit.
Pete is allowed to pass By the butchers
with their glistening weapons. and he
does it with mighty leap, but his fol-
lowers are cut Numerically BY the trained
slayers, who dispatcha sheep with single
cash across the throat, nearly severinp

ssJohn Gilpin's Ride" was composed
by Cowper somewhere about the year
1880 or 176S, under the following circum-
stances, as he told them himself: While
on visit to his friend and admirer, Lady
Austen, he was suffering one evening
from excessive melancholy, which her
ladyship thought to relieve by relating
to him u funny story. TWAS q story she
remembered from childhood and which
she had often related to the little ones
gathered at her house. John Gilpin's
Ride, she denominated her tale, and she
went on and told it in bright, sparkling,
narrative style. It's effect on the fancy
of Cowper was enchanting. On the fol-
lowing morning he appeared at the
breakfast table with countenance all
smiles, and he told Lady Austen that he
had been kept awake half the night by
thoughts of her story and hisinvoluntary
bursts of laughter as the comical scenes
flashed back upon him. And he further
more told her that he had resolved to
put it into ballad, the general construc-
ton Of which he had already in mind.
The ballad was written and given to
Lady Austen, and she insisted upon Civ
ing it to the publisher of her favOrite
newspaper. So It found its way to the
public, and afterward, Henderson, the
actor, recited it in his public reading.
There were various surmises as to where
Lady Austen obtained her hero. Some
have thought he was real parsonage,
and have collected proof to sustain the
position, while others have believed him
to have been entirely fictitious - crea-
ture Of Lady Austen's BRAN, or perhaps
Of the poets own fancy.
