thing in ileppner to see an Indian with
his family jogging into town with a
number Of ponies packed with wool that

Every pony losl represents a lot OF work !

no great loss without some small profit"
is here demonstrated The loss Of the
sheepman is profitable for the Indians.
They cover a large Territory in dilgent

"tipooo." After pulling the wool If the
animal is not overly ripe, they usually
take ont "tender" loin for meal. As
