the stable door square in the middle the
first time.
"WeIl, when the sheep began to crowd
into the stable the horses got uneasy,
but the sheep kept wedging in till there
wasn't enough room, so the first gang
made a solid floor and the next climbed
up on top, and the next on top of that.
When they all got in there were three
stories of sheep, one above the other,
and the horses were out of sight. We
couldn't get the sheep out of the place
to save our necks, and finally started
in to feed them hay.
1.-THE top story ate the hay, but the
two under stories couldn't get a nip.
"As soon as the horses smelt grub
they made big effort to get on top OF
the sheep, and the sheep were wedged
in so tight that the horses walked all
over them. The wool was thick and
soft, and it beat all the body Brussels
carpet you ever saw. After about ten
days we had to pull the building down
to get the sheep out, and the two under
layers had eat all the wool off each 9TH
er. Yet the critters seemed to have
got along all right during that time
and l noticed that when they lay down
at night they would all lie down togeth'
er and all rise in the morning to theil
feet. This puzzled the horses on tor
when the mass would rise and lower
five or six feet, at which time the horses
would gallop around almost frightened
to death.

laughed at the idea, for we were al
well heeled and no man could turn u
unless he was quicker shot.
swell, we piled our sheep and horse
into this cut, and things glided along
all right until the second day, whel
the line came to halt.
"By Jove, we'd met the pack-mul

LOgicalIy Lame.

Col. Bryan, in his recent address at
Ann Arbor on Imperialism" said:
"Our forefathers fought for independ-
ence under a banner upon which was in
scribed the motto Millions for defense,
but not one cent for tribute And so those
who to-day not only desire American inde-
pendence, bat are willing to encourage the
idea of independence and self-governmentin
other races, can fight under banner upon
which is inscribed a similar motto: Mil
lions for defense, but not one cent for con-
quest"
This is historically inaccurate aswell
as logically lame. Our forefathers who
fought for independence never heard
the expression millions for defense,
but not one cent for tribute" Thatex-
preston was first used by Charles
Cotesworth Pinckney during his mis-
sion to France in 1916. 1t had no rela-
ton to the revolutionary war. AS for
the paraphrase Millions for defense,
but not one cent for conquest" it was
repudiated by Americans at the end of
the Mexican war, when they paid Mex
leo $15,000,000 for territory already
practically conquered. In that case the
$4,000. 900 was salve to Mexican pride
