SLEEPY TIME.

Bedtime is generally a elimination
of all the daily nerve-racking episodes
IN the experience of the mother. Up
to 2 years Of age a child regards his
crib more as a place of punishment
than of rest, and even at that age the
percentage Of children who are ready
to go to bed at an appointed time, and
woo the droWsy god'' in solitude, is
lamentably small. 1t is a blessed house
hold that escapes a scene when the
baby finds his lids weighing heavy.
AS babies only learn by precedent,
habit can accomplish much in doing
away with this unpleasantness From
his birth, lay the baby in his bed at
the same hour every night, without
any preliminary rocking. and leave
him alone IN the dark. At first he will
howl: oh, yesl but perSeVere, and the
victory will be yours.
When old enough to be fed, give
very light suppers, and try to keep
company away from him. It only ex-
cites him to see strangers. A romp
with papa is a treat TO all children.

and griffins and murders are apt to

not produce night horrors, not once
only, unfortunately, but sometimes for
years. One horrible circumstance Will
often fasten to a. child's imagination,
making sleep a dread because Of the
haunting phantom. IF q story is a
necessity, let it be a simple tale of
birds or animals, with no blood-curd-
ling incidents to excite the already

LOSSES WILL BE LIGHT.
Good Reports Received From All the
sheep Camps.

Good Reports Received From All the
Sheep Camps.
Unless there are some radical
changes before the return of the open
season, the loss in sheep sustained by
the hockmasters of the territory will
be extremely light compared with the
havoc which has been wrought by the
elements during some recent years. AS
a matter of fact, the number of winter
killed sheep will cut very slight fig
ure in the calculations of the year $
business, for all of the reports received
from the camps are to the effect that
the hocks are wintering better than for
years and the sheep will come out in
the spring in splendid shape. One
sheepman, who is the owner of 5000
head Of wool growers, yesterday re-
ported that he had thus far lost but
three head during the winter, and Of
those three two We're bucks which had
been overworked and allowed to get
very thin before the coming Of the
snow This is the history of practic-
ally all the herds throughout the terri
tory and also in Wyoming, where
many Of the Utah sheep are Wintered
SO we'll are the hocks doing out on the
eastern deserts. along the line of the
Rio Grande Western, that the owners
mence shearing by the latter part Of
March. The snow Is going rapidly and
the annual migration to the shearing
districts Will begin within the next few
weeks
Veteran butchers and sheepmen were
surprised yesterday by the appearance
in the local market of spring lambs
weighing in the neighborhood of thirty
pounds. 1t is seldom that the young
sters are prepared for market before
the middle of April and the Main
street butcher who had secured the
prizes made the MOST of his enterprise
by charging a handsome price for the
lambs.
AS a whole it was fair business
week with the Union Stockyards, and
total of 1874 head of live stock was
handled by the yards. OF these 1926 head
we're cattle, 427 head we're hogs, and
AL head were sheep. The Utah
Strengthening company took TO head
and Stephens g. Co. 215 head.

WHY BOB WAS MERRY.
fNeM York Press. ]


The people in the Eighth avenue car
on that nasty. slushy afternoon, just
at dusk, looked at one another in
amazement. AT first it was the unani-
nous verdict that the driver was in
sane for such a thing had never hap
pened before. The street in front of
the car was congested With heavily
laden trucks moving at a snafrS pace.
And every truck driver seemed to be
doing his best to impede the passage
of the passengers homeWard.
Get move on you! Wat yer want ?
De eart'?''
Jaw, close yer facet Yer amt fit TO
drive pair Nv mules"
That, or similar to that, was what
was expected all the way from VeSey
to Fourteenth, over and over again. In
fact, hearing something of such q diff
ferent strain even made the eyes OF
the gray haired merchant in the far
Their corner twinkle merrily. Ana this
is what the something was. in a great
hearty voice:
chance or I'll be- getting the devil when
I get to the stables. Muddy day, amt
It? Sorry I had to trouble you"
If the surprise at this was great, 1t
was even greater when the truck
driver responded:
That's all right. old chubby face;
S'longs you don't get mean about it.
A big man, who would tip the scales
at 200 pounds, was this driver, with "a
big rubber coat, put on with back side
in front, a cap drawn down over his
ears. just leaving a space for blue
eyes, fat red cheeks and a. pug nose.
Every two or three blocks he would
dance a little jig on the platform as he
hunnned a. little air until he would
have to- use that hearty Talmagian
voice on another. truckman. If the
name OF the business or the firm the
truck represented was visible, he con-
structed his saIutes accordingly:
"Hi, there, Dog Brand of Soap:
you'n have to- get off the TRACK"
1fCome, come, Green Leaf Tobacco;
take the side for a While
Wake up. wake up there james s.
Co., there's a. car behind you"
"Heyl hey! z Get 'em-full Whisky,
Shift your jag"
And so on, until the passengers
driver on the avenue was in fine
humor, all because one $1.70 a day man
was merry.
.'Rather good natured fellow, isn't
hep" said the merchant to the con-
ductor. &
"o-o-h, yes; that's Bob. He's alIus
that way"
The old man went out on to the
front platform at Fourteenth street
and said toBDb:
You're a most extraordinary man. IS
"Huu-r1, dunno. Watts the use Of
growing? There's a little girl baby
upt' my house-come week ago-an
she's a peach-HeyI hey, there! You'll
have to give me chance"
The merchant took a card out Of his
pocket
