Sable Sheep.

Sable sheep are not frequently seen
in England, but ebony lambs are plen-
tiful in the Australian commonwealth.
A colonial fockmaster had quite a
number of black lambs, and he folded
them in a range by themselves. He
found that black lambs might not re-
cur in a flock in generations and then
recur suddenly. For example, where a
black ram was used in flock of white
ewes the product was white lambs.
with few exceptions, and where sire
end dam were ebony colored the lambs
were mostly white And so the Aus
tralians gave up the attempt to found
a sable flock. Where wool is dyed a
deep color sable wool absorbs less dye
and makes more durable color. Still
black fleece absorbs more sun rays than
white, and black sheep are more seri-
ously affected by heat.-London Live
Stock Journal.

There is tale to the effect that while
Hon. Thomas Bracket Reed welded
the gavel a gentleman took his little
boy to the gallery of the house of repre-
sentatives. Looking down upon the
more numerous branch of the federal
legislature the child asked, Father,
who is that large man sitting in the
pulpit with a mallet in his hand?
"He, my son." replied the fond par
ent, sis the house of representatives"
"And who are those other men sitting
in semicircIes around himY inquired
the tiny chap.
"They are the speakers of the house
of representatives" answered pater-
familias. Champ Clark in Leslles

GOOD plan, cap, and under your man.
agement it can't fail to work." observed
an unseen speaker.
Then, while the outlaws were talking
and planning, the rescued girl and her
rescuer crept away.
Edna had recognized the voice of the
first speaker and was nearly stricken
helpless by amazement and horror. Jack
son Blake had not been killed. He was
alive and unframed, and not only that,
but he was an outlaw-a false, black
hearted traitor. While apparently at
tempting to escape from the Indians he
had carried her into their very midst.
Nearly half a mile away, in the midst
of some thick cottonwoods, horse was
hitched. His feet were muffled, so that
even If driven at full gallop they would
give out little sound.
The escaped captive and her rescuer
had reached the place where the animal
was hitched when long drawn yell came
through the night from the Indian camp.
Immediately wild chorus of similar
cries followed the first.
The man laughed as he deftly unhitched
the horse.

1t was near sunrise when a double bur-
dened horse entered the emigrant camp
many miles from the scene Of rescue.
Wild cries of joy burst from the emf

ton as one of the persons mounted upon
the horse. Howard Fenton nearly swoon-

The old weather beaten guide came for

"Why, hello! Durn my eyesr' he ex-

The next moment the old guide and
the handsome young plainsman and scout
clasped hands.
"Hyar, folks" cried the guide as soon
as he could make himself heard. LET

"And my brave rescuer," said Edna
Fenton, a warm blush suffusing her beau
tiful face.

A glimpse of Tennyson.

Apprehension of being mobbed by the
"profane vulgar" amounted, as is well
known, almost to monomania with the
poet Tennyson. Many good stories are
told in illustration of this weakness or
his. One of the best of them will per-
haps bear repetition.
Lord Tennyson was taking country
walk with a friend. when a fellow
creature was espied in the distance.
1--WE must turn back" said the poet.
"That fellow means to waylay us.
His companion persuaded him, how
ever, to continue on their path. They
caught up to the enemy and passed
him. He took no notice of them what
ever. "What an extraordinary thing"
cried the irate poet. "The fellow seems
to have no idea who | am!

A Circus Employe
Killed at Phoenix.

A watchman OF the Ringing Bros. cir.
Gus was murdered in cold blood at Phoe-
nix last night about 1890 a. m. as the
first section Of the train was palling out
for Tucson. A former employee Of the
company had endeavored TO board the
train and the watchman, Il. d. Gardner,
ordered him off. The man pitched into
Gardner and the latter hit him with his
cane and put him off.
The ex empIoye went over to saloon
near the yards and there found George
Mcdonald who that evening had been
deputized as constable. He offered to
go after Gardner and uttering several
oaths he left the saloon. He found
Gardner In the yards and without a
word shot him through the heart.
The coroner was called and he search
ed the body of Watchman Gardner bot
found no gun. The coroner's jury Will
meet today and it is understood that as
Gardner was a Snowman, self defense

who saw the shooting say there was no
show OF defense on Gardner's part.
Mcdonald has a bad reputation.in

is not strange. Gardner had been
with the Ringing Bros seven years and
had the reputation Of an honest and res
pected empioye. At one time he was
a conductor on the Northwestern rail-
