COLORADO MOUNTAIN SHEEP.
The Day Not Far Distant When, Lfk'

The Day Not Far Distant When. Like
the Buffalo. They VIII BE Extinct.
From the Denver Republican.
Mountain sheep appear to be increasing
in Colorado and stranger still, the rare
and timid animals are leaving their dizzy
haunts among the high mountain peaks
and drawing nearer to the habitations Of
man than ever before. In the compare
lively low lands. near the town of Jeffer-
son, there is now a flock of fifty or more
mountain sheep. Jefferson Is. on the South
Park railroad, about eighty-one miles
southwest of Denver, in Park county. 1t
Is an old-fashioned community, and has
near 1t the well-known summer resort, JEFF
ferson Lake. The vicinity, disturbed by
the rumble of trains as well as the sounds
of human life and industry, is not at all a
quiet one. 1t has none of the Characters
tics which usually mark the natural home
Of the almost extinct mountain sneep.
And yet for several days past band of
at least fifty of the soft-eyed. large-horned
native sheep of the Rocky mountains has
been calmly grazing around the town OF
jefferson and close to the railroads. 1t Is
said that the sheep do not display any sign
of fear of the Jefferson people. Many of
them come in open daylight within easy
pistol shot of the residences They do MOI
run away unless somebody purposely tries
to frighten them.
For many years past the sight of a
mountain sheep has been a rarity In Colo
RADIO, and usually but one at time has
been seen. A hunte-' far OF from civiliza-
tion might descry solitary sheep rerched
on q erag overlooking some wild and
sfeep canon, but hardly ever within
gunshot range. No such thing as flfty
sheep together has been reported. even By

-Four years ago 1 had several hundred
suits at the ball. These did not all come
from my establishment, for 1 do not claim
to carry anything like that number. For
weeks before the ball made a canvass of
all the nearby cities and got corner on
rented dress suits. Our price for the ball
Is So That's a good price, but then you
see we are very careful as to the sort of
people with whom we do our business. We
DO not accommodate every one that ap-
pies to us by any means. and we only rent
to the very incest sort of men. Every suit
Is carefully gone over before it Is used
again. so that each user Is just about as
well Off as If he had new suit of his own
Iailors In Washington generally say that
the business is not what it was a few years
ago. The dress suit habit, is much more
general than 1t used to be, and now there
are very few men indeed who go out at
all who do not possess this important factor
in the male wardrobe There are, however,
q good many men, some in public life for
that matter, who are instinctively opposed
to the ..spike-tail," and regard the broad
cloth frock coat as good enough for any
one. Once in awhile, though. they run up
against White House receptfon or a state
dinner, that makes the conventional even
Ing dress an absolute necessity. Then they
are met with the alternatives of renting or
borrowing, and it is much easier to rent.
Renting the suits.
AL cidSees VI luen are 10 oe IOuno among
those who are occasionally compelled to
hire their evening clothes. and the prices
vary quite as much as the social positions
Of the wearers. For instance. pretty good
sort of suit can be had for $3.50. 1t is a
curious fact that the cheaper the suit the
more careful the owner is when it comes to
renting 1t out. When suit rents for $1.5Q.
the tailor usually requires deposit to the
extent of half or three-quarters Of its
value. Ordinarily the suit would not be
worth more than SO at secondhand prices,
SO the deposit is not very heavy one On
the other hand, the man who rents a IS
suit is usually known to the dealer or is a
guest at one of the high-priced hotels, SO
the owner takes his chances and lets the
suit go without a deposit. He very rarely
makes a mistake.

One of the leading merchant tailors said
to Star reporter this week that at the
ball at the second Inauguration of Presi-
dent Cleveland more than four hundred
male guests wore suits that were rented
from him. This meant to them the tidy
sum of 5000.
The practice grew up In a very natural
way, at least with some Of the tailors, who
now go In for 1t to quite heavy extent.
local tailor whose custom Is confined
almost entirely to the class Of men who
like to dress in the height of the fashion,
and are able and willing to pay good prices
for their clothes. found himself some years
ago with several dress suits on his hands.
Occasionally one of his regular patrons
would drop in and remark to him that he
had friend in town who had come on a
hurried business trip, but had been invited
to big dinner or reception, and was very
much embarrassed by the fact that he had
left his dress suit at home. The "sarto-
rial artist would offer to lend one of his
suits II the man in question could be fitted.
But" said the tailor, II soon found that
was getting into the business without
meaning to do so. I came to the conclusion
that this courtesy on my part hardly paid,
and then have 1t pressed and cleaned. So
it came about that began renting out
dress suits at fixed price.
The supply.
Where does the supply come from?
From lots of sources. In the first place,
we are all the time having suits left on our
hands. Sometimes it's because they don't
fit. but. of course, that rarely happens.
More often they are the suits that have
been sent to be repaired or cleaned, and
their owners forget to send for them or
leave town before they are finished. Then.
too, when our workmen have nothing
much to do we make a few suits for this
particular purpose. We also buy dress
suits. don't mean by that that we are
