She turned fearless glance to me
Which proved her trusting soul,
And then she breathed this subtlety.

SHEEP FOUND IN ALASKA.
Flesh Said to De the Most Delicious
of All wild Game and Ia
Much Sought.

This rare wild white sheep is found
nowhere in the world but Alaska, and
few specimens for mounting whole have
ever been obtained, says a writer in
Outing. This species, named owls dali
by Prof. Dali, differs from it's cousin,
the Rocky mountain big horn (ovis
montana) in color, owls montana being
n dull brown in midsummer, changing
to grayish drab in winter, with light
ashy-colored patch over the rump all
the year, while the owls DALI is snow
white at all seasons; in fact, there is not
a colored hair on any part of it's body.
He is not quite so stockily built as the
"big horn,' yet more trim and shapely.
Two of my specimens stood 40 inches
at the shoulder. His limbs are not
quite so heavy, and his horns will not
average as large at the base, although
quite as long. The horns of my largest
specimen of 1897 measured 41A inches
in length and 1878 inches in circumfer-
ence at the base.
The flesh is the most delicious of all
wild game. In the summer this sheep
lives chiefly on the rich, succulent
growth of the asplenium septentrion-
ale. which grows in the creviccs ofthe
rock on the sunny slopes of this ragged
range. This beautiful animal must en-
dure great hardships to survive the win
tiers of this icy north.

"a funny thing happened to me when.
I had charge of our branch Office" said
a New Orleans cotton. man, according
to the TiInes-Democrat of that city.
"Our quarters were on the second floor
of three-story building and the rooms
above were rented by a very, pleasant
foreign-looking chap who passed as
chemist. l used to be detained at my
desk quite late at night and had my
curiosity excited by a singular. noise In
the laboratory: overhead. 1t was mo-
notonous click-clack, like heavy ma
chine. One day met the chemist on
the stairs and asked him what he was
doing that made such racket. oh, I'm
making silver dollars up there he said,
laughing, and passed on. One night
about week later city detective with
whom I had struck up an acquaintance
strolled in for a chat and smoke.
What's that queer noise up there? he
asked, presently, as the usual click
clacking started. oh, nothing much
I replied. It's friend of mine making
silver dollars 'Ha, ha! laughed the de-
tective. We'll, he's in a frst-rate bust
ness. Wonder if he wants a partner?'
Exactly two days later the agreeable
foreign-looking gentleman skipped out
and when the landlord broke open his
door, 10 and behold! there was as neat
little counterfeiting plant as you ever
laid eyes on. The clicking came from
machine for 'reeding' the coins. The
detective was mad as blazes, but ]
couldn't help it. I had told him the
