GOOD SHEEP STORIES.

Acknowledgements Game That Wa Worry
Disastrous.
Several ''sheep-men" from the Inland
Empire were gathered around the stove
at one OF the hotels discussing the pros
poets for mutton this winter and wool
next spring and the pr,fits to be made
by driving sheep to the Willamette to
winter, and at last they got to telling
stories about sheep.
One told about the captain OF
schooner who had band Of sheep on the
deck of his vessel. AS he was turning
and twisting the wheel to keep the
schooner on her course the old ram, who
headed the flock, taking umbrage at his
motions, came up behind him and at
one fell swoop butted him over the
wheel. The enraged captain seized his
woolly assailant and threw him over
board, when, presto! away went the
whole flock, popping over the rail, one
after another, into the sea. Boats were
lowered and with much labor a portion
OF the flock was saved.
Another told story which illustrated
the same follow-my-lead trait in the
character of sheep. At a port on the
sound one evening just after the deck
hands had got all the freight slowed
away, there came down five hundred
sheep to be put on board. All hands
were vexed because of the delay and
trouble connected with shipping them,
but finally pen was made of hurdles
between decks and a gangway rugged,
and in the dusk all was ready to take
the sheep on board, and they were start
ed down the gangway. The first one, as
he struck the deck, saw an opening in
the other side of the boat, across which
hurdle had been placed. Instead of
going along to the corral prepared, this
sheep made running jump, cleared the
hurdle and landed in the salt chuck
alongside. Every one of the band fol-
lowed suit, and in a short time five hun
dred sheep were struggling in the water.
The captain, having seen the last one
godown the plank, yelled out: Gail right
down there?" An answer came back:
Gall right, sir; send them down" t'Send
them down." roared the captain, haven't
you the sheep down there?" "Not
sheep, sir" was the reply, and investi-
CATION showed that there was not a
sheep on the boat. The captain could
not delay any longer and so steamed
away. and only small number Of the
sheep ever got ashore.-Portland Ore
POnian,
