winter has been SO favorable for
growth that yearlings are larger and
better than were ever known ct this
season. The young stock rs there
fore worthmore for that reason also.
The northern buyer has been look
ing the situation ever, and rather
than pay the present asking prices
he declares he will go home and buy
sheep, for he must occupy his ranges
or some body else will. The San An
tonic Express says: 1T hardly
seems likely, however, that they
would take this step without due
consi deration of the pitfalls which
lie in their pathway. There is a
science in handling sheep properly,
las in every other branch Of the live
stock industry, and the average
range cattleman would feel as i'll at
ease in branding up his lambcrops
as he apparently does now over the
price Of southern steers. Admits
ing all he says To be tass had be
not better ear tlre iillssha d
Hy to Others that he knows not OFF"
This is no doubt disinterested eau
ton, but the Express makes at least
one error. There are at present no
pitfalls in the sheepman S pathway.
All that is needed is plenty Of herd
ers with the inevitable sheep wagon
and grub stake, and a competence
lis certain. No science ia required,
las the Express ignorantly imagines.
If science, experience or even good
Judgment were necessary to success
in sheep husbandry there would be
fewer rich men In the business in
Montana than are seen today. The
best shepherds are the most success
full, it is true, but in the larger sense
of the situation all are successful.
There are plenty Of wealthy sheep
men here who, not longer than ten
years ago, were ordin airy herders at
$50 per month.

The Two-Headed Snake.

New York Herald.
 Highly prized is snake with two dis tinct heads, a recent acquisition to the serpent population of the New York Geological Park in the Bronx. It is only a little milk snake about ten inches long, but as freak 1t is almost per .ect.
 It was caught three days ago in Pel- ham Avenue, where that thoroughfare crosses Bronx Park. When the snake was first seen, it was lying in the road, and could easily have escaped had not the heads disagreed as to which direc- 'rion the entire serIIent should take That incident and others that have fol- lowed seem to prove that in the case of a snake two heads are not better than one.
 These heads are both greedy. and the keeper in charge of the snakes Is very much afraid that the freak will die, for it cannot eat. It drinks all right, but when food Is placed before it the two heads fall to fighting and try to bite each other. They do not seem to realize sensibly that whatever either eats goes to the same stomach.
 In other ways, however, the two heads show a commendable inclination to CO., operate. The little serpent has been shedding it's skin When the discarding of the old coat had got as far as the Junction of the two necks the two heads combined their efforts to finishing the job.
 It was hoped that this display of brotherly feeling on the part of the two heads meant q reformation, but hope dleu away when the snake was tempted to eat again, for the heads renewed their fight .~I

"ALABAMA'S" INJURIES
TURN OUT TO BE VERY
 SERIOUS.
Big Guns are Damaged-Defects Disclosed Through Accidents During Test of the Vessels

New York Special to Chicago Record-Her-

New York Special to Chicago Record-Her- | aid.
 So serious was the accident to the bat | tleship Alabama during her recent target | practice off the Virginia capes, 1t was learned today, that the vessel Is In prac- tically the same condition that 1t would be had it been through a great battle. 1 Previously 1t has been admitted only that one thiEteen-inch gun had been dis | ablod by the premature explosion Of a shell, and that few plates had buckled. As a matter of fact both the 13 inch guns of the forward turret have had their | rifing so badly damaged that they can not be used. Decks have been torn up where the big guns have been fired over them. Sections of the main battery of six guns have been rendered unsafe for the gun crews by the loosening of bolts that held the gun carriages to the decks, and in at least one case the ship has de- veloped a structural weakness through the recoil of the guns of the main super structure.
 Though every effort has been made to belittle the damage done to the ship. 1t Is conceded in navy circles that the di ab-
 ling of two out of the four 13-inch guns, the impairment of the mounts of at least four of fourteen 6-inch guns, and the es- tablishment of the fact that the ships magazine is full of defective shells Is serious matter and most serious men, ace to her aggressiveness in case of war
 Deck beams have buckled under the strain put upon them by the premature explosion of shells in the 6-inch guns, and extensive repairs of the ship itself will have to be made. To remedy this defect application has been made to the dopart- ment at Washington for the installation of extra supports for the main gun deck and workmen are now hastening to com plete the repairs.
 Experts from tho Washington gun foun- dry have been called upon to remedy the damages. and more than a months work and many thou ands of dollars will have to be spent to make g7od the effects of the few shots that were fired in paaceful exercise of the great guns.
 The Alabama is at present in dry dock and the machinery for the repai- of the 13-inch guns arrived today. The ship will take part in the speed trials planned by the Navy Department to be held In the week beginning November 20 in Chesa- peake Bay. During all this time the work of boring out the old pieces of the injured rifling will be continued

A Quick Reply.

New York Times.
 Among the many Southern visitors to New York this autumn were MT. and Mrs. Delgado of New Orleans. Mrs. Del gado is one of the kindliest and most charming hostesses of the Crescent City. Many very clever sayings are credited to her. She always has been an ardent Southerner and is never at loss for a reply. Some years ago. at the unveiling of the Lee Monument in New Orleans, a rather practical but unsympathetic New Englander observed:
 Why, Mrs. Delgado. according to Eeg's-convictions, that monument Is all wFbnE He has turned his back on the South and he is looking toward the North"
 He always faced the enemy" was the quick retort.

Big Hats and Headache,

The enormous hats worn by some
ladies of the present day are said to
cause a peculiarly Irritating kind of
headache. The weight Of these hats
in itself is too heavy. for the delicate
Uranium of a woman, but worst of all
is the anxiety the lady must feel in
keeping such a thing poised on her
head. A physician who was consulted
prescribed the usual remedies for what
ladies called the migraine, but strong
~ advise them to put aside such head
gear and wear; light, reasonable bon
nets. This physician says that, al
though he is no alarmist, he is Of
opinion that the exaggerated hats over
laden with ornaments which many
ladies now wear are responsible for a
good deal Of the peeyishness, fretful-
ness and incipient mental alteration
which characterize so many who pride
themselves on being in the fashion.
