The Worm Turned.

An Illinois farmer came to Chicago
not long ago with shipment Of sheep
that looked like they had done nothing
all their lives but run from dogs. After
loafing around nearly a week he per-
suaded a buyer to take them on mis-
hands at a price a trife over the
freight charges.
"Pity they aren't blackfaced," said
the buyer. "The blackfaced breed al
ways command premium; seems to
dress out nicer"
The farmer did some lightning calcu-
lating and then said he would come up
in week with just what was wanted
He kept his word and arrived here on
Saturday. He hunted up his buyer, a
man named Edwards, and showed his
forty blackfaced sheep and lot of the
ordinary run. The blackfaced brought
about quarter OF a cent pound more
than the market called for. Later in
the day Edwards found a purchaser for
his blackfaced stock.
81 never saw a blackfaeed sheep with
spots of white under his eyes and
streaks around the nose" said the pros
pective taker.
Edwards had not noticed the white
spots before. He went into the pen,
caught one of the animals, and when
he rubbed his hand over it's face the
black peeled off. Edwards is now ours
ing the cold irony of fate, while the
farmer is no doubt mixing a new lot
of black paint for whitefaced sheep
