So saying, with whirl of her black
silk dress and a flash of her white
muslin apron, she disappeared. Briggs,
left alone, sauntered to a looking
glass hanging on the wall and studied
with some solicitude pimple that had
recently appeared on his clean-shaven
face.

And Briggs leered suavely at his own
reflection, and then resumed the peru
sal of his paper. He was absorbed in
the piquant, highly favored details of
a particularly dfsgraceful divorce case,
and he was by no means likely to dis
turb himself from his refined enjoy

than the summons of Lord Winsleigh's

who has recommended to congress that
no pensions be granted the widows Of
soldiers who are married hereafter.
The suggestion has caused among the
colony of women settled in the vicin-
ity to redouble their efforts. Unless
they get husbands before congress
meets they fear their prospects Of pen
sions will fade. New women are ar
irving from Boston and New York
and the dives are wide open. A man
who wears a Grand Army badge can
stay drunk for month and never
spend a cent. The local police are
making efforts to close the places, but
as fast as one is shut up others are
started, and the business goes on as
brisky as ever. There are dozen
places near the home, all of which do
a thriving business by Turing the vet
Grams inside and filling them up with
liquor until they fall an easy prey to
the women who are waiting for hus-
bands. In case man refuses to drink
and shows resistance he is quieted
with a club or anything else that
comes handy. Last spring an inmate
of the home was killed in free fight
in one of these dens.
Many veterans who live at the homo
are trapped into marriage every year
by women who seek the $12 a month
pension, which will come to them on
the death of their husbands. Most OF
these women have had regulations
and no character. Having led gay
lives in the cities until their beauty Is
gone they seek marriage with the old
soldiers for the sole purpose Of inher-
lting pensions. After capturing hus-
bands most Of the women go back to
the cities and cause no more trouble
until death carries off the veterans
and the widows pensions may be OBJ.

SHEEP AND WOOL.

1t has been frequently stated that
mutton is the prime object in breeding
sheep and that the breed which will
produce the best mutton or the great
est amount of it in a required time on
given amount of food, of kind COM
monty grown by the farmer, is the
profitable sheep. While this is true,
it does not mean that the wool from
their backs is to be thrown away by
any means. We have in America only
"a, 100000 head Of sheep Of all kinds,
and there are many kinds and grades
included in this number. There are
good shearers and there are poor ones;
there are sheep that would not make
the best mutton and there are others
which would make mutton fit for a
kings table, or any ones table for
that matter. 70 supply enough wool
for the wants of the people in this
country would require 120,000,000 head
of good sheep the clips OF which
would average with those we now
have. Hence, it will be seen that we
need S6,000,000, or nearly three times
as many as we now have, to supply
this country with it's wants in wool.
The average number of sheep kept on
one acre is probably not far from
four and one-half head. On this
basis the S6,O0O,0O0 head would require
1S,O00,000 acres of the land now oc-
cupied by other kinds of stock and
crops. This would probably decrease
the acreage of some kinds of farm
crops that are now laboring under
very low prices. The wool market
would not be over-supplied If we
were confined to our own market, ex-
cept in certain grades of wool. 1t Is
believed that we would be much bet
ter off with that number of sheep
than with the number we now have.
These items are taken from the census
and are merely thrown in that the
reader may do little calculating.

One of the owners OF the Kansas
City packing-house, who lives in New
York, wrote his manager complaining
that his live stock buyers were YER
BOSE in their kilograms to him. They
sent him three or four day and he
objected to paying for unnecessary
words. The manager instructed the
buyers to be more careful in wording
their messages. A few days later on
of them was astonished when he re-
ceived this message from the New
York man: "If you can get some
more OF the same kind of Texas stock
that you got yesterday at the same
Price, buy them. No, never mind;
you needn't do It." The letter Of COM
