Duties of The "Pet" Sheep.
Philadelphia Record. ]


Out of the abattoir the pets among
the sheep may be distinguished by their
superior height and shapeliness and by
the intelligence of their expression. The
pets are murderers. In the other pens
sheep come and so by thousands to the
slaughter but the pets remain. They
are trained to lead their fellows to
death, anu they do this work we'll, for
they have by reason of their strength,
Intelligence and beauty a great influ-
ence. When the butchers of the abat-
toir wish to slaughter a flock of sheep
word is passed to the pets and they in
differently. calmly saunter in among
the flock, gain their confidence and es-
TEEN and then take their places at their
head and lead them to the slaughter
house. The blood-stained and murder
Gus pets have more than one unsheep-
like quality. They eat pretzels and pie
and drink beer.

ACTION FOR PERSONAL INJURY.
4 student at Dartmouth college brought
suit against the trustees OF that insti-
tuition for injuries caused by the falling
off of a large chimney on the college
grounds. which was being torn down by
the orders of the college. His claim
was based on the ground that he had
contracted with the college to furnish
him a collegiate education safe and
suitable lodging place, safe and suita-
BILE grounds, buildings and appliances
for obtaining healthful recreation, In
consideration of certain payments. The
evidence showed that he was not pres
ent at the place in the course of his
collegiate duties, nor ky defendants
invitation. but that it was holiday,
and he was there, with others, as
voluntary spectator. to see the faillng
of the chimney. 1t was held that there
had been no breach of eontractual rela-
ton, and that he could not recover un-
der the circumstance, unless 1t was

They lie in shallow. irregular basins.
The widths Of the deposit seldom ex-
coed quarter of mile, and the
lengths are not uncomnonly half a
mile or more. The ores are of the best
quality.
Because Of the soft character of the
Mesabi ores and of their occurrence in
shallow deposits, much ore is loaded
directly by steam shorels on railway
cars in open cuts. The Nesabi iron ores
are transported to Lake Superior by
rail and thence by the lakes to termi-
nal lake ports.
In 1891 the district had not been
opened up. In 1895 the Mesabi district
became the largest producer in the
Lake Superior region. passing in that
year the Marquette district, which
since 1854 mad held first place. In 19Ol
the total production of The Mesabi dis
trict was Al per cent of that of the
Lake Superior region, and two and
one-half times as much as its nearest
competitor, the Menominee. which, IN
1901, for the first time surpassed the
Largely or. account of the Mesabi pro-
auction. the state Of Minnesota in 1901
passed the state of Michigan as the
largest iron producer in the United
States. In total shipments the Mesabi
district is still behind the Marquette
district. At the close of 1901 the Mesa
hi district had shipped total OF 49,
4o4.967 lorg tons, and the Marquette
district, open since 1854. had shipped
Go,S47,473 IONS AT the present rate of
production the Mesabi total will pass
that of the Marquette district in about
four years. The total amount of high
grade ore-that is. containing above
perhaps IS or 50 per cent of metallic
iron-at present in sight on the Mesa
hi range has been estimated at 4O0,-
900 600 to 6O0,oOoOoO tons. The COM
monty accepted figure is 5oo.ooO.0oo

HOPE FOR MISSOURI,

53.95 per cent of the vote was demo-

was in Washington recently, expects
large republican gains in Missouri this

Catfish Are Common.

More than a billion young fish were
distributed by the government last year
to stock the streams in the United
States, tho there was not a catfish
among the whole lot. 1t was probably
taken for granted by the fish commits
sion that the supply of catfish needs no
reinforcement. and that the breed is so
spontaneous as to require no coddling.
This is true, tho it is doubtful whether
the people realize the true beneficence
of this provision of nature. The pleni-

column.

Not much more than a decade ago
there was forbidding looking tract in
northern Minnesota, called the Mesabi
range, that had no apparent value, but
later 1t was found to contain untold
wealth in superior iron ore. Its near
ness to the head of Lake Superior and
the ease with which 1t could be taken
to eastern manufacturing points by
short rail and easy lake transit en-
HANGED it's value. Attention has just
been directed to 1t thru the purchase
by an independent iron company,
formed at Pittsburg, of $6S,000,OOO
worth Of iron ore in this and other dis
tricts This new corporation is osten-
eibly a competitor of the great United
states Steel Corporation, and has thus
provided itself with raw materials IN
Immense quantities.

the Mesabi iron district lies in that

OF Lake Superior. 1t extends from
Grand Rapids, on the Mississippi river,
northeasterly to Birch Lake, distance
Of about eighty-fiv miles. with width
varying from two to ten miles. Its area
Is about 400 square miles. The main
Topographic feature of the district is a
ridge known as the Mesabi, or Giants

Indian name for giant. The develop

found Just north Of what is now known
ae the Mountain Iron mines; In 1897,
4,245 long tons Of iron ore were
shipped; in 1901, s,oo4,seo tons were

BOGUS NOTE SCHEME.
IGilman Dispatch.l


Along in the summer a sewing me-
chine agent called al the Thomas Nc
llrath home and offered his wares for
sale Mrs. McIlrath declined to buy.
and then the agent asked if she would
allow him to leave the machine there a
few days anyway, which she at first de-
clined to do, but on the agent repre-
senting that he had to remove a ma
chine from a neighbours, where he HAD
left it a few days before. and it wousA
overload him. Mrs. NJ. consented to all
low one to be left in her home. Then
the agent wanted her name. so he
would know here to call for the ma
chine later: she gave the name, but as
the agent said that he could not get it
right she spelled it for him. However.
that would not do. and he persuaded
her to write the name for him. She did
so, as she supposed, in a small ordinary
memorandum book. in which We're a
number of other names of neig1bors.
The other day Mr. McIlrath received a
notice from firm representing them
selves as western agents for the sew
ing machine company. notifying him
that his note would fall due Nov. l and
a collector would call about that time
to make a settlement. Mr.. sMcIlrath
has placed the matter in an attorneys
hands and proposes to make sure that
he is liable before he cashes the note.

MORE WARFARE FOR the BRITISH.

Another cloud has arisen on the
British horizon larger than mans
hand. just as the nation had peace
fully settled down to satisfactory con-
Ciitions following the Boer war, another
conflict has developed in Africa. A
combination Of tribes III East Africa,
rorth of the former scene of combat q
considerable distance. under the lead
ership OF Mad Mullah chad PriesD
threatens TO bring on q long and fierce
war, and the British forces are their
particular object of hatred. The Mad
Nullah is fanatica Mohammedan
rriest in the So,Ealiland district. He
has consolidated the Musselman fac
.icns and directed their combined force
gairst the English.
The trouble is said 70 grow out of
ne disputed possession of Somaliland.
-..,,a. rart Of it in northeast Africa,
3go.,.liag !. border land between Abys-
s:nia and the British rrotectorate on
he coast OF the Calf OF aden, has been
TOR the last two or three years in a
state of disturbance. owing to the in
creasing power OF the Mad Mul!ah.
Last December the Mullah was re-
ported to have about 10000 men, most
ly mounted, large percentage of
whom were armed with rifles. 1t is
possible that he now commands about
10000 men, With this large force har
assing him, Colonel Swayne. who was
in charge of the British troops in the
district, retreated. but late advices in
d.cate that he has reached a safe point
OF resistance.
This new war will afford the British
an opportunity to use part Of the force
not needed at the southern point. Per-
haps the lessons the English have
learned OF African warfare may enable
them to overcome this force with more
expedition than was shown in the Boer
contention.
