THE LOST SHEEP.

Who needs "a shepherds care;

While wo.ves are lurking tn, re.

Within the groves of sin.
But seeing demons IN the fold,

The Shepherd of the old sheep fold
Has long been crucitied,
Bnt Judas tricks have magniticd
Ever since the day he died.
Those wolves are subtle in the fold :.
They wear "a fleece that's rare.
On Sunday II is fine as silk,
On Monday coarse AS hair.

Goes ia fold for rest,
But soou he sees destructive teeth
Refecting through the crest.
He finds himself but sore, ,dismay ed i.
lie cannot rest IN peace.
The wolves are bowling all around
And plucking at his fleece.
Now what to do he does not know,
lie made sac red vow.
He'd rather be without the fold,
But can't well leave it now.
The clergy say come in this fold,
And lei the people see
That you can be II model man
Devoid of harmony.
When Christ was here upon earth
lie always did good deeds,
And honored every noble act,
But never Joined the creeds.

A Western Mans Great Luck.

1T is the easiest thing on earth TO
sell A mine in London for almost any
price, provided you have anything to
show an expert" ,aid Major Frank
Mclaughlin. There is also a right
way and a wrong way TO 60 about 1t.
Some time ago went TO London to
negotiate the sale Of some mining
property. ofcourse, the first thing /
had TO do was to let capital know what
| was there for. Then, when inquir-
les commenced, ! simply said: Cen
tlemen, have mining property 70
sell. If you mean business and want
to buy send your expert out 10 exam
inc the property and make a report
on it. You will know then what you
are buying.
"a company was organized. The
expert examined the property and re-
ported fsvorably, and meeting was
held TO discuss terms.
"Now, Major said the spokesman.
we have found that the property may
be worth something. What is your
price,
1.-Two hundred and 6fty thousand
said I.
"'That is more than we expected TO
pay. We expected TO pay about 2o0,-
600. There is not much difference be-
tween 200. 900 and 25o.000. II you
will drop $4,000 we will take it.
q expected to get about Sl0o, 600
for the property, 50 with a show Of re-
luctancy / agreed to accept their offer
When the papers were made out | was
surprised TO learn that they had been
talking about pounds and | about dol
lars, but was very careful not TO let
my surprise leak, and that is the way
1 got 81 900, 900 for the mine. Great
people to do business with.

A Campaign Trick.

The following story is told by Ed
ward J. McDermott in an article en-
titled "Fuu on the stump in the Cen
tury
a few years ago a plain country
doctor and Mr.. May who was fond of
iewelry and wore a valuable diamond
stud in his shirt bosom were running
for the Legislature in one Of our coun-
ties. The race was close and hot. At
one speaking the doctor made the
following fierce and dangerous thrust
at his opponent Fellow citizens,
don't YOU want an honest man in the
Legislature? OF course You do. Now
what sort of man is my opponent?
Why, gentlemen, look at that magnih-
cent diamond he wears 1t is almost
as big and bright as the headlight on
a locomotive. Your eyes can hardly
stand its glare. 1t is worth hundreds
may be thousands-of dollars. At
what valuation do you suppose he has
put it for taxation in his return to the
State assessor? Why, at the pltiful
sum of twenty dollars" The crowd
yelled for the doctor Three days
later the two met again in Joint de-
bate. Again the doctor took up hls
theme, and held forth eloquently and
passionately in denunciation of dis
honesty and diamonds, and false state
ments; and then he again told OF
Mays false return to the assessor.
Look at that gorgeous pin, gentlemen
Ny eyes can hardly endure its daz-
zling rays. Solomon in all his glory
Hold on there, doctor" said May
"Do you mean to say this pin is worth
more than twenty dollars"
"Yes, l do-twenty times or fifty
times twenty dollars =
Would you give twenty dollars for
it, DOCTOR"
"Of course ! would.
We'll, you can have it for that.
"All right" said the doctor, and be
hurriedly counted out the money and
took the pin. Then May rose to
speak, and the crowd cheered him,
He was undoubtedly game and hon.
est. He was willing to take what he
said the gin was worth. He was elect
ed. a week after the election he
called on the doctor and said doc
tor, don't want to rob you Of your
money. Here's your twenty dollars
