A man who had been arraigned on
the char &c of stealing a sheep was st
sensitive hat it required all the judges
responsiveness to keep him from
breaking down under his heavy load OF
humiliation.
'Oh, judge" he pleaded, please be
gentle with me. can't stand this aw
full depression"
That may be-" the judge replied,
'.Dut didn't you steal that Sheep"
'Oh, yes, judge, but | beg you tc
make my sentence appear as gentlN al
possible. am a great believer in ap
pearances"
Il will try to favor you," said the
Judge. Instead of sentencing you foi
stealing a sheep, l will sentence yor
for stealing a lamb"
''Oh, thank you. judge, but now as te
the length of the term how about
that?"
Just the same for a lamb as for {
fifteen-year-old RAM. but the lamb sen.
tence has Il gentler appearance
''Oh, thank you, judge" he faltered
and he smiled family; still there was
something about the sentence that die

Excessive Fatness in the Meat Product o.
the Limited st ttes.

Excessive Fatness in the Meat Product o.
the United states.
Meat is a manufactured product for
which a large amount of raw material
is required The manufacture of meat
is a process of transforming the vcge-
table protein, fats, and carbohydrates
of grass and grain into the animal pro-
tein and fat of beef, pork and mutton.
The same principle applies in the pro
duction of milk, eggs and other animal
foods. In the most economical feeding
of animals it takes a number of poundi
of hay or corn to make a pound of beef
or pork. In other words, let the farm
er make animal protein and fat. from
vegetable materials in the lest way he
can. and still he must consum" 4 large
quantity of soil product to produce a
small amount of animal food Hence
animal foods are costlier than vc"eta-
BILE. This is the simple explanation of
the fact hat in most parts of the world
meat is the food of only the well to do
while the poor live almost entirely on
vegetable food. Thus ordinary people
in Europe eat but little meat. and in
India and China they have none at all.
1t is hard enough for them to get the
nutriment they need in vegetable
forms. Meats they canno: afford.
But meat making in the United
States to-day is far more wastcful than
it need be. on account of the excessive
fairness of our meats. This comes about
very naturally. We have a great ex-
cess of soil product in the valleys of
the Ohio and Mississippi and on the
ranches of the west. At present the
pork maker and the ranchmen convert
a large portion of this into very fat
meat The pork producers of the
great corn growing states select the
breeds of swine which, as they say,
will take the most cor to market"
and have thus got into the way of
growing animals that are little else than
masses of fat The beef-growers of
the western ranches, and those in the
east as well, produce excessively fat
meat. Part of the fat is trimmed out
of the meat by the butcher, part is left
on our plates at the table to go to the
soap man or garbage barrel. and part
is eaten. Unfortunately very many of
us eat much more than fat, both in
meat and butter, than is needed for
n~ourishment, and thus do injury to our
health.-Century.

A SAGACIOUS r
a Last Resort He Alto the Hasp of tho
Gate,

As n Last Resort lie Ate the Hasp OF the
Gate.
One of the best stories heard at gath
crings of horscmcn at the late show in
New York was told of a Kentucky
roam, who was left in IN open paddock
fastened by means of a wooden hasp.
This he learned in 4 few days to take
out with his teeth and drop on the
ground, only to have it carefully re-
placed by the stable boy who displayed
a wonderful intuition about discovering
it. Finally when it became plain to his
horsish understanding that there was
nothing to be gained by such a per-
Torrance he tried the experiment of
carrying it over to the further side of
the fence and letting it fall into a
ncighboring yard Now it SC happened
that his owner caught him in the act
and. relentless, went and fastened him
IN again; then from a distance he
watched to see what would come next.
AS he had expected, the horse diligent-
ly loosened the stick again, but-now
comes the queer part of it-instead Of
putting it in any Of the old places, he
gave one defiant snort and laboriously
set to work to eat it up.

Watching every movement Of the bruised
and suffering ex-champion. His body waa
covered with gore in the ring and he was
too far gone to appreciate what had hap

and broke down entirely. His self control
was gone and in moment he was blubber-

who was pitiable in the ruin Of his hopes
and the sudden halt in his career. In a lit

stomach where Corbstt sent home that
