Barren county there lived a very su- perior lawyer, James A. Rosseau, a cousin of the general of that name
 He was once selected as a special judge to try an important chancery case and heard it in chambers. A very promising young lawyer nam ed Aleock. was the leading counsei on one side and the late William H
 Bolts was on the other. The plead ings. the exhibits. the interlocutory decrees and the dispositions had been read and Alcock was arguing the case. He bad spoken about ten minutes when Rosseau interrupted him and roared out, "Mr. Hancock, you don't convey an idea to my mind; why the bell don't you fetch the law when you approach the ehaneellor29 Two things rendered Alcock furious-one that he was call- ed Hancock and the other the roar of laughter that came spon5ane ous from the other lawyers present.

The Sheep Industry.

The agricultural department has is
sued a report on the number of sheep
in the country January l, with COM
parsons with former years, which
shows, in all interesting way, the de-
cline which began with the election of
the first and only free trade president
since the Republican party began it's
mighty work of building up the in
dustries of the country, as well as the
revival which began with the reversal
of the Democratic policy as to wool by
the enactment of the Dingley tariff
law in 1897.
January l, 1885, the number of sheep
in the country was at the maximum,
50, 800, 243 head, valued at $1O7, $3.50, $50.
The number had dropped January l,
1893, to 47,273,553 head, but the value
was the largest on record, SIPS, 9O9, 26I.
The number in 1894 was 45,O48.O17.
while there was great slump in value
to $50, 1885, 10. The number in 1895
was AZ, 294 ,O64, while the value de-
clined to $66, 685, 767. The number in
1896 was IS, 29S, 1888, while the lowest
value was reached, $50, 1877, 1876. The
number dropped in 1897 to the loves t
figures, So, 8l8,6 43, but the value went
up a little, being $67,O20,942. There
was all increase in number by January
l, 1898, to 1856, $50, and a very sub
stantial increase in value to $92, 721 1873.
BY the first of the present year the
number of sheep in the country had
increased to 39,114,453 head. The
value of these has not yet been COM
puted, but it will probably show an
improvement oyer 1898.
The details by states for January /,
1899, show Montana still in the lead as
a sheep raising state, with 1877, 547
head, as against 3,247, 64l last year.
New Mexico comes next, with 3,128,-
692, against 2,844 ,265 in 1898. Ohio is
third, with 2,730,47l, against 2,4l6, 346
last year. Oregon is fourth, with g.
$50, 468. Texas is fifth, having dropped
from 2,649, GA last year to 2,543, 917 this
year. In Wyoming there was an ad-
vance from 10000 to 2,32S,O25, in
idaho from 1851 ,343 to 2,311 $50, and
in Utah from 1878, 457 to 2,116, $40.
California has 2.175,54 head; a slight
falling off. Michigan shows an in
crease of All, 900 to 1886, O53. Colorado
reports $50 SOL, and Arizona l ,014, 287.
The most of the eastern states remain
stationary. New York leads, with
S4l, 1855 head, Pennsylvania following
with 790,604, Maine with 246, 1928, and
Vermont with 165, $40. The entire IN.
crease for the United States is nearly
/ 500, 900 head.

The New Fish Bill.

The new fish bill, which passed the
house without dissenting vote, makes
the commissioners salary and all his
expenses for deputies, etc., paya-
be from the fish hatchery fund.
The license on traps on the Sound is
raised from S25 to $50, for ordinary
fishermen with drag seines, increased
to $3.50, and gill nets mot heretofore
taxed) $3.50. Canneries are taxed l
cent per case and ST per thousand for
fish taken. None but citizens of this
state will be permitted to engage in
fishing. Touching the latter provi-
sion Commissioner Little, who was
present and was invited to address the
house, said, relative to the fishermen
who usually come up from the south
to engage in the catch:
"They come in numbers as high as
/ 500 for a few months every year."
said Mr.. Little, land they are the
toughest class of citizens to deal with
have ever met. Most of them carry
a Winchester in their boats. There
are 5000 resident fishermen in this
state, and I believe we can get along
without the importations from Cali
fornia. The latter never pay license
or fine unless compelled to do it, and
are generally refractory"

There has been a remarkable increase
OF insanity in King county, says the
Seattle Times, during the present year,
and as result the courts have had
more insane people to deal with than
for any corresponding period in long
time: During the months of January
and February there have been seven
teen cases of insanity in the county,
and sixteen of the cases have been
such as to warrant commitment to
the asylum. Some attempt has been
made to prove that the present great
number of insanity cases is due to the
conditions of the weather, but there is
little difference in the weather this
winter from that of last winter.
