BLACK SHEEP

The following poem by Richard BUR
ton appeared in the Atlantic Monthly
recently. Mr. Burton was an early
"chum' Of DR. VIM Seymour Short
rector OF Grace church. The beauty OF
the expression in these verses accords
with the tender sentiment.
From their folded mates they wander
far.
Their ways seem harsh and Wild;
They follow the beck OF q baletul star,
Their paths are dream-beguiled.
Yet haply they sought but a wider
range.
Some loftier mountain slope.
And they little recked OF the country
strange
Beyond the gates Of hope.
And haply bell with Turing call
Summoned their feet to tread
Midst the cruel rocks, where the deep
pitfall
And the lurking snate are spread.
Maybe, in spite Of their tameless days
OF outcast liberty.
They're sick at heart for the homely
ways
Where their gathered brothers be.
And oft at night,when the plains fall
dark
And the hills loom large and dim,
For the Shepherds voice they mutely
bark.
And their souls SO out to him.
Meanwhile, BLACK sheep! black
sheep" We cry.
Safe in the inner fold:
And maybe they hear, and wonder why,
And marvel, out In the cold.

CHILDHOOD'S INN OCeNCE
Baby Culture as Viewed by Little
Girl.

The remark was addressed to a 10
cal physician yesterday afternoon as
he stood on the sidewalk in front of

ored girl of probably six or seven
years. She was accompanied by a
playmate, another little pickaninny.
of about the same age, who, while she
said nothing, seemed to be equally
interested and equally expectant. The
youngsters were in earnest in the me..-
ter and the application was made in
all seriousness. Who they were and
whzo their surroundings, was not
learned, but the doctor said that for
a month or 50 he had received a reg
Ular weekly visit from these little
girls. He had repeatedly made excuses
and even lied a little in holding out a
hope to them that sometime he would
have a surplus of babies and would
then remember them "But Just at
present. said the doctor f'the demand
is greater than the supply, and my
been waiting for a baby for nearly a
year and I only got one for him last
week" AboU's this c.nIe d reporter

with a black face and big white eyes,
but il would not answer the purpose
They must have real live, squalling
kid, the color being immaterial. They
insisted that they knew how to care
for It, and were only pacified when the
doctor told them he would see what lie
could do the coming week.
This incident recalls the story Of
another little Phoenix girls anxiety
which was given expression a few days
ago. She is about seven years old,
and while she has an older brother,

in California does not thrive here.
On the experimental farm this year
forty or fifty varieties Of eucalyptus
were planted and the red gum was
found to be the better adapted to this
dry climate Mr. McCIatch:e says that
il would have been vastly better for
this section had red gum been planted
ten years ago instead of cottonwood.
The red gum is valuable not only for
wood, but for fence posts. These posts
last number of years, but those made
from cottonwood do not last long. A
grove Of two or three hundred trees
was planted northwest of the Indian
school few years ago and now the
owner has large field surrounded by
eucalyptus posts The trees grew rap
idly and many have been used for
wood A few trees grown east of
town were planted three years ago and
now measure a foot and half in di-
ameter This rap.dity is not attained

before making his report. but in the
meantime h recommends the planting

While in San Francisco Mr.. Nc
Claiche was one of a party
invited out to the nursery OF
Luther Burbank, called the Wiz
ard of Horticulture. Mr.. Bur-
banks fame was won by the propaga-
ton CT the Bue bank potato. He has
a faculty of crossing two varieties and
getting from them one which IS larger
and superior His reputation as hor-
ticulturist is so far reaching that at a
recent meeting in Paris when his name
was mentioned every man rose TO MS
feet
Mr.. Burbank created the Wickson
plum described in The Republican A
few days ago. He recognized the
value of the Prunus Simoni, but the
trees were not prolific. He selected
another variety of plum which was a
heavy bearer and from the two deveI-
Cped the WickS0n, which IS at once
prolific and produces excellent fruit
for marketing Mr.. Burbank has
found another kind of plum which
he believes VIII eclipse the WickS0n.
He thinks it is the greatest achieve
ment in plums he has made and he
calls it the Climax" G. H. Clayson
has secured number Of trees from
him, and that variety will also be in
troduced here by him.
Mt McCIaIcn1e says the plum eX-
periments are the most wonderful of
any on the Burbank farm. There are
about 1000 different kinds which the
world has never heard Of, but when
the experiments are concluded prob
ably all but three or four will be re-
jected; not because they are not good
varieties, but because they are not
the best. Mr. McClatchie says he may
conduct similar experiments here,
though on a smaller scale.

PASSENGERS SUGGESTION

Albert AIcGrath says that one or two
changes should be made in the street

that he wasn't feeling very we'll that

NEW INDIAN Agent.
One VIII De Aop3intaI Cor The San
CARDS Agency


Reliable information has been re-
ceived by the Bulletin, to the effect
that the San Carlos Indian Reserva-
ton will soon have a nsw agent. The
statement comes from Washington
that the War Department has asked
the Interior Department to appoint
new agent for San Carlos. Capt w.
T Nicholson, one Of the Seventh cav
airy regiment has been acting agent
for the pass four months Ex-Govern-
o. Mcconnell, Of Idaho, has been On
the reservation for six or seven weeks,
taking his departure last week. He
expressed himself when here as being
very much dissatisfied with the cO1di-
ton on the reservation. but it IS not
known whether his reports had any
thing TO do with the contemplated
change in agents or not.
One complaint which seemed to be
prominent in Ex-Governor Neon
nell's mind was that the cattlemen
were not paving enough ~for pasture
privileges on the reservation. If all
his complaints were as groandiess as
this one then he was decidedly wrong
in his conclusions. The cattemen
pay fifty. cents per head for the use of
the open range on the reservation,
witch is. considered as a very high fig
ure, when it is known that they have
no protection whatever. L is report
ed that the cattlemen pay about $4,000
per year for their paa.Erage privileges
on the reservation. The range IS
worthless to the Indians, who have no
stock.
Ex-Governor Mcconnell was also
very emphatic in his declaration that
army officers are unfit TO be placed in
charge Of thase Indian reservations,
and if his recommendations were fol-
lowed. the new agent for San Carlos
would be chosen from civil life.-Solo-

SHIPMENTS DISCONTINUED
After Marvellous Growth in The
Melon Industry.

The melon season is at d close so
far as shipping by carload lots is con-
cerned, and there will be little activ-
ity in small shipments. The closing
Of the season was hurried by the .asl
rains which caused the fruit to ma
ture rapidly. There have been four
teen cars cf melons expressed from
here this season, and a greater num-
Der sent by freight The first two
ears of carJaloupes shipped melted
nearly $500 car and the returns
since then have been good. The re
turns On watermelOns have been about
500 car. 1t is conservatively es-
timated that the melon industry next
year will attain twice as large prop?r-
lions.
