Banks Red River Campaign.

When the troops left Alexandria, the
city took fire, and part of the force
was sent back to fight the flames. Gen
eral Banks in uniform took bucket
and carried water with the rest He
never lost his dignity, however demo-
cratic he might be. He was especially
annoyed by West Pointer who had a
contempt for volunteers and persisted
in addressing him as Mr.. Banks. Colo
mel Rice says that while General Banks
was brave and even daring at times he
lacked certain executive ability, and
it was standing joke in the war that

he would take them from Banks His

A woman's Revenge.

A man of the world was wont to call
not infrequently upon young widow.
One day the pretty maid at the door an
nounced that her mistress was out of
town. On some pretext, however, the
man entered. He also talked to the
maid. Some days later, knowing that
the lady had returned, he called again.
He was bit surprised when a strange
maid met him at the door and showed
him to the little reception room. While
she carried his card up the stairs he re-
fiected that she was not SO dainty as her
predecessor, and she was not so pretty,
though her uniform was similar, and
her cap was as stiff and br apron as
spotless He was realizing how much
more the woman is to the dress than the
dress is to the woman when the maid
returned and announced promptly:
MRS. - is not receiving" The man
of the world bit his lip-it was the first
time he had ever been denied admit
tance-and moved toward the door. The
maid held it open for him, and as he
passed through it she blurted out, "And
she says, if you please, sir, the maids
receive in the kitchen, sir. ILLUSTRATED

beginners in sheep raising and those hav-
ing Irvine, such as is used in binding
grain. Most twine used for grain is very
Objectionable for wool. We know one
firm of manufacturers who said they
would not pay as much for wool tied
with such twine by 2 cents a pound
Any loose PARTICLES of binding twine ad-
herring to the fleece cause serious defects
in the fabrics manufactured.
Years ago it was the custom Of GER
tain growers here in the west to use all
kinds of deceptions while putting up
their wool, even going so far as to place
stones in the sacks to increase the
weight, but this practice has been done
away with, and more honest wool may
be depended upon. The range shearing
is not done ON so careful scale as de-
scribed in this article, because the flock
masters do not have the facilities at
hand. There is usually shearing shed
or corral at the ranch, and sheep are
driven in from the range as they are
wanted.
On the larger ranches, like those Of
the Warren Live Stock company, for in
stance, the shearing is done by contract,
and the contractor hires the men by
piecework, 81 cents head being the
average scale this year. Usually the
shearer has to tie the f1eeces, but on
some of the larger jobs the folders are
employed to follow the men with the
shears. There are professional sheep
shearers who go from one state to an
other and take jobs wherever the sea-
son happens to be right These men
make the best shearers, and they are
generally employed all through the sea-
son. In winter they frequently take
places as herders and thus they spend
all their time ON sheep ranch. here
is some talk about the evolution Of the
sheep shearing machine, but it will be
years and years before it is adopted on
the great plains of the west, if at all
The professional men say they can shear
all around a machine and have some
time to spare. A good man can clip 100
sheep day.

Fattening Steers on Alfalfa.

w. H. Peck & Co. of Phenix, A. T.,
have shipped four carloads Of alfalfa fed
cattle to the Kansas City market. The
entire lot averaged 1850 pounds, while
one carload averaged over 2, 600 pounds.
This shows that there is, no longer any
doubt about the practicability of finish
ing steers on alfalfa hay. When they
can be made to average ton head in
this way, it begins to look as if this
great forage plant would become rival
of corn and must in time supersede that
great beef making material in the irri-
gated portions of the far west at least

GATED SADDLE MARE EMILY.
erations of Kentuckians and Virginians
have developed peculiar race of beau
tful saddle horses They are easier rid
ers than the fashionable rough, jolting
English horse. Those who ape every
thing British affect at present the rough
trotting, hard jolting foreign saddle
horse, but they are simply foolish. The
Kentucky or Virginia gentleman does
more riding in month than the aver
age Englishman does in a year and
knows what is what in saddle horse
breeding and training for Americans
better than any foreigner can possibly
know Give us, therefore, the Kentucky
or Virginia saddle horse every time in
preference to all others.
Both the horses in the illustrations
are from Kentucky. The first is gated
saddle mare Emily, owned in Louis
vile.
Emily is prize saddle horse winner
from both the Worlds fair and the
New York Madison Square Garden horse
show. She is one Of the most graceful
creatures ever shown in ring. With
such saddle horses it is hard to under
stand the craze for clumsy, bob tailed
jolters Emily is a registered mare OF
Mambrino blood. She is registered In
the National Saddle Horse Breeders as
sociation studbook. Her owner, General
John B. Castleman of Louisville, is
president of that organization.
The second illustration shows the gait,
ed saddle stallion Woodford Squirrel,
owned by Colonel T. s. Moberly of Rich
mond, KY.
Woodford Squirrel comes of thorough
bred blood and is registered in the Ma

tional Saddle Horse studbook One OF
his ancestors was the old thoroughbred
black Denmark. Woodford Squirrel is
one of the most accomplished and high
" educated horses in America. He has
six distinct saddle gaits. These are slow
walk, amble, running walk, canter,
rack and trot. The fast or running walk
is the perhaps most valuable Of all these
gaits for steady use. 1t is gait devel-
oped in higher perfection in Kentucky
than elsewhere Woodford Squirrel can
rack at the rate of $40.
He refutes the old fallacy that a good
saddle horse cannot also be a driver In
harness this horse is a noble trotter OF
the purest action.

AIR RUMORS.
Tenants OF Grosvenor Estate In q
State OF Uncertainty.

The air was full OF rumors today con-
cerning the reported sale Of the Grosvenor
estate, bounded by Weybosset and Dyer
streets, Dunneps gangway and Postoihce
court.
IL was said that the United States
Government must be interested in the
purchase, 1t being understood that
the Rollins and Morse people were simply
buying for somebody else, and syndi-
cate of some sort must be behind them.
Agent Herrick Gays: 81 don't know
who may be behind the persons who gave
me the Transaction to handle, but do
know that have received orders to OBJ
tain tenants and already i have received
several applications from banks for Offices
on the first floor"
At the Custom House IL was stated that
Collector O'Reilly, being the custodian OF
oil the Government buildings In this
district. has heard nothing about the Gov
eminent being interested in the sale, nor
can he imagine what would be the object
of such n deal.
All OF tho tenants are on the anx-
ious seat and one of them is represented
as believing that he has three months
option.
Mr.. Herrick says, however, that tomor-
row every tenant will receive his notice
and must vacate by June 16. On the fol-
lowing day the work OF tearing down will
be begun.
The papers for this magnificent trans
action have not yet been passed, nor 10 II
known precisely when they will be
hence the uncertainty on the part OF al
concerned.
