nervous American cannot stand the
life. The everlasting 'baa' drives him
mad. He cannot endure the monotony
and the necessary separation from hu-
manity with only dog for company
for months at a stretch. And the diet,
mainly tea and mutton, Is too simple
for his luxurious palate. It Is fact
that sheep herding furnishes a great
er number Of inmates for Western in
sane asylums than does any other oc-
cupation. The shepherd, like the cow
boy. is gradually assimilated to his sur
roundings, and naturally acquires much
of the nature Of his charges. To his
credit it must be said that he is rarely
unfaithful to the interests Of his flock
and it's owner. There Is nothing poeti-
cal about him, but he will risk his life
for the safety Of a lamb, and will dog
gedly search all night If there be a
stray. He is a much quieter fellow
than the cowboy, even in his cups,
when the wool has been clipped and
the hands are in town for little fling.
He has no wild yearning for idly shoot
ing holes in the armament. He is hap
piest on a sunny hillside, lying at ease
where he may overlook his flock and
hear the ceaseless voicings Of its Ia
mentation."

HERDERS OF THE WEST.
How the Rlotous Cowboy Compares With the

How the Riotous Cowboy Compares With the
Lonely Sheep-Herder.
Capt. J. H. McClintock' in Ainslee's.
I'm the character Of the men who
care for the herds and flocks can be
found an interesting subject for
study. The cowboy, If he be the genu-
inc article, is a man who daily does
feats on the range that would win ap-
plause at a wild west show. In his
chase after the fleet, unbranded year.
ling, he is compelled to ride at head
long speed over country that a fox
hunter would consider sure death. Dan
ger confronts him in varied form, and
no man can be an efficient cow-punch-
er who hasn't in him the spirit Of reck-
lessness. The writer once witnessed
STAMPEDE of wild cattle at midnight. A
great herd was being held in a can
Won Of the Mazatzal mountains. The
night was as dark as 1t Is possible to
be. A coyotes bark started the nerv-
GUS animals to their feet, and they
were off. The two riding guards on
watch howled for help. Their sleeping
comrades were up in a twinkling. Each
seized a horse at the picket line and
mounted without a saddle, stopping
only to twist a loop Of his RATA about
the ponys nose. Barely dozen SECONDS
had passed before the campfire was de-
serted. The cowboys were plunging IN
the dark after the fleeing cattle,
through a wild, rocky, unknown dis
trict. filled with mesquite and cactus,
cut up by dangerous arroyos and can
yons. By noon of the succeeding day
the drive was resumed. A half dozen
steers had been left behind, famed or
dead in the gulches, while few OF the
horses in the 'wrangler's bunch In the
lead were skinned and limping. But
the cowboys, their clothing In rags
from the thorny midnight ride, merely
joked on their mutual appearance and
solaced their WEAKNESS with tobacco
and with endless song. AS a rule, the
cowboy is an American. In the plateau
region he may hail fnom anywhere; but

coMPLIMENTINe GENERAL LEE.
Two Little Girls Paid the Old Warrler High
Tribute.

Youths Companion.
Few defeated generals have been sc
revered as was Robert E. Lee. Every
Southern man and woman admired him
The author of "a Girls Life in Vir.
ginia," tells a little story that shows
how much he was loved by children.
A year after the surrender General
Lee journeyed across the mountains or
his old war horse Traveller, to pay q
visit to the author mother. On the
night of his arrival he said:
To-day an incident occurred which
gratified me more than anything that
has happened for long time. AS
region I was surprised to find, on a
sudden turn in the road, two little girls
playing on a large rock. They were
poorly clad, and after looking at me a
moment began to run away.
Children said I, don't run away
II you knew who I am you wouldn't
run away from me-
"'We do know you, they answered.
"'You never saw me before I said,
for I never passed along here
"'But we know you,' said the child
rem. We've got your picture in our
house. You're General Lee! We amt
dressed clean enough to see you and
they scampered off to hut on the
mountainside."
Then the general told Of another ad-
venture he had had the same day.
While riding: through thick woods he
met a man who, recognizing him,
stopped and, throwing up his hat in
the air, exclaimed: General, please let
me cheer you!" and then he hurrahed
as loud as he could.
General Lee was too great a man to
be excited by ordinary applause. On
the contrary, he was annoyed by a
compliment to his valor or skill as q
general. But he was touched by the
compliment which the two little girls
of the mountain paid him: 1--WE amt
dressed clean enough to see you"

HOG cho,e,.n andcorn.

Hog cholera or swine plague is con-
fined almost entirely to the corn-pro.
ducing States, writes c. S. Moore, Of
Oklahoma. Here where the seasons are
such that corn cannot he depended
upon entirely for feeding hogs large
number are marketed that are not fed
corn except to finish off on. Alfalfa
pastures will keep pigs growing and in
good condition, SO that very little
corn will finish them. If alfalfa is not
to be had, wheat for winter pasture and
sorghum for summer. supplemented
with kaffir or corn, will give as good
results. The pork thus produced is per-
fectly healthy. After a residence here
of eleven years have yet to hear of
the first ease of hog cholera. Coming
from part of Missouri where corn and
hogs We're the principal products the
swine plague often destroyed an elira
herd. am led TO think that the differ
ence is caused by the different method
of feeding. | am persuaded that if
Northern farmers would run their hogs
on clover pastures, add roots TO their
bill Of fare and feed less corn, hog
cholera would soon he a thing of the
past. Hogs thus raised make better
meat, mature quicker. cost less to pro-
duce and are more profitable.

Lawyers Say tile Officials Recently
Elected Cannot Enter Into Power.
The latest development in the biennial
election constitutional amendment blum
der is that the State, county and town
ship officers who were elected Nov. q
cannot take their places at all unless they
are again elected
1t is quite generally agreed among the
lawyers that il the Titus amendment is
literally construed and the years extern
sion of office is given to those officers
whose terms of Office would otherwise
expire in 1901, then the election OF ofii-
GERS to fill their places this year was
superhuous and illegal under the opera
tion of the amendment; aud if they can
not assume in January, 1901, the of3ces
to which they are elected. they cannot do
so at any other time unless they are
elected again
The Titus amendment operates to do
away with any other election until 1902,
so that the incumbents of all these Offices
will hold for two additional years instead
OF one year, providing they insist upon
their rights and the amendment is liter.
ally construed by the courts.
Although the Attorney General has not
given it as his opinion that the intention
of the Legislature must be considered.
the majority Of lawyers are of the opin-
ion that the courts have no right to pre-
sumo what the intention of the Legisla-
ture was or that the people in voting
for the amendment did not know what
they were about.
