,SHEEP-There were only three cars Of
sheep here today, so that a good test OF the
market was not made. The three cars con-
sisted OF Idaho wethers, which averaged
So pounds and sold for 1920. The general
opinion was that 1t was a good strong
price, all things considered.
For the week there has been no radical
changes in ruling prices. Monday the mar
ket held about steady, but Tuesday buyers
TOOK of 1Oq15c. On Wednesday the mar
ket was steady at the decline and today the
feeling was a little better, so that as COM
pared with the close of last week the mar
ket could not be quoted over a dime lower
or loo at the most.
There were no feeders offered to make a
test of the market today, but they have
commanded strong prices all the week.

 The experiment has been made at Aldershot of painting guns and Em- bers with the three primary colors, red, blue, and yellows as it has been found that guns thus painted harmo- nize with any kind of background SO well that at a short distance they are difficult to locate. Six guns so painted were placed on the Fox Hills, and the artillery officers at Aldershot were in vited to try to locate them at about 5000 yards with field glasses, but aI- though the officers knew the direction, none was able to locate them all. Some horse artillery sent forward to engage the guns advanced to within 1000 yards before they located them.

India is the mendicants' paradise, for there they are regarded as holy instead of being considered nui- sance. The penances of these beg gars take many and strange forms, one of the severest being the passing of the devotee's life in an iron cage, bound with letters so heavy as to prevent him standing upright Others hold one arm above their heads till it becomes withered, while others bind ropes and chains so tightly round their bodies that the bonds grow into the flesh and can not be removed. A form of penance which savers of the ridiculous is that in which the fakir ties his hands and feet together and rolls head over heels for long distances; in some cases, it is said, thousands of miles are travelled in this way. Although there are ever s,0oo,ooo fakirs in In- dia alone, a beggar never starves, ex- cept voluntarily in punishment, so afraid are the natives of in- curing the wrath of their multi tudinous cod. .: ss ...- ao4s men are rkSaE cared i1r-xltyr.xasyss -

sary for him to keep informed as to the invalid's $ progress.
 To secure this information it was decided that he should call up over the telephone and inquire of the brokers daughter. At first these calls were merely professional. The daughter told how her father was getting along and the physician directed the doing of things for his comfort. As days went by the doctor and the daughter found other things to talk about in addition to the condition of the sick man-the condition of the weather, for instance, and the prospects for pleasant week.
 Then gradually they increased the scope of their telephone conversations and became interested in each other. The result was a friendship which soon became something else, and now they are married.
 Frequently two people employed in different offices become acquainted by the accident of telephone calls. Not long ago the son of a wealthy merchant had occasion to call up a business man, and the stenographer of the business man answered the phone. It happened that her em- ployer was busy, and she held the wire for the young man while he waited for the man with whom he de- sired to speak.
 It also happened that just at that time a terrific thunderstorm was passing over the city, and it seemed D perfectly natural thing to talk about it. It did not seem like break ing into conversation in cold blood when they could compare notes on the fierceness of the storm, Pres ently the employer came to tke tele- phone and the young woman by all right should have dropped out of the life of the young man, but she didn't. It was wonderful how many calls that young man found occasion to make over the business mans telephone, and for the most part the business man knew nothing about them. They did not get past the young woman who answered the first
 Being thus acquainted over the tell ephone, it became imperative, of course, that they should meet, which they did. Neither was disappointed fri the other when they saw as we'll as heard each other and, as in the other cases, their wedding was se- uuence

\ TIMELY SUGGESTION.

This is the season of the year when the careful and prudent housewife re- plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is certain to be needed before the winter is over, and results are much more prompt and satisfactory when it is kept at hand and given as soon as the cold is con tracted and before it has become set tied in the system. Tn almost every instance a severe cold may be warded off by taking this remedy freely as soon as the first indication of the cold appears. There is no danger in giv- ing it to children for it contains no harmful substance. It is pleasant to take-both adults and children like it. Buy it and you will get the best. It always cures.

Folks who study the emotions are coming to the conclusion that there is something dangerous about the tele- ne-dangerous in this particular: If young mantof impulsive habits is woman at all firtatious is at the oth- CT there is more danger of their be- coming serious than there would be if they stood face to face.
 Not long ago business man mar ried telephone girl with whom his acquaintance started in scolding. She had committed that "unpardonable offense" of which the telephone girl is guilty occasionally, to the annoy ance of the subscriber. She had ''cut him off"
 The irate business man got her on the other end of the line and proceed ed to tread the riot act" He declared he would report her to her manager, and that he would see to it that she was discharged. In fact, he ranted much, as a busy, bothered business man would when something occurred which interrupted the smooth course of his business arrangements.
