THE PASSING OF THE SHEEP

At very early hour one morning in Florence lay half asleep, when the bleating of sheep brought me quickly to my senses. and I remembered to have heard that at this season the shepherds come down from the noun tains with their focks to take them to the warmer plains below. So l. has tily aroused the sleeping children, who only needed the word ''lambs'' to make them broad awake, and we flew to the windows, and To! what sight was there.
 The whole street and sidewalk be- low, as far as we could see in either di- rection, was filled with a moving mass. Hundreds and thousands of sheep and lambs; f1ocks following each other in quick succession, with only room enough between for the shepherd who always led the sheep with big crook, and generally carries one or more tiny lambkins in his arms
 There was no trouble with refractory sheep racing off in the wrong direction; all were content and happy to follow their beloved shepherds, at whose sides trotted the faithful dogs and the big leaders of the fiocks that wore the bells. It was the tinkling of these hundreds of bells that had aroused me so early. Never shall 1 forget that strange. weird sound as it rose and fell on the early morning air
 These numerous f1ocks of sheen pass through the city twice a year-in the spring, when they leave the warm low lands around Perugia for the northern mountains. and in autumn, when the frosty air drives them back to the plains And, as they must pass through the cities on their way. they are obliged to finger outside the city walls until all business in the streets is suspended, when the night guards open the ponderous gates and allow them to pass through.
 It was an impressive sight to see those hundreds of sheep following their leaders so happily, and spoke volumes for the friendly relations existing be tween them.-Wide Awake.

AWAY THEY HAVE AT YALE.

Professor George Barker Stevens of the Yale divinity school received the degree of doctor of laws at the recent commencement of the University of Rochester. He was one of the speak CTS at the alumni dinner and in the course of his address told several anecdotes of his colleagues in the world of education which caused a great deal of amusement among his hearers. In the course of his speech he mentioned the fact that Yale had often been accused of an arrogant pro- v1ncialism by some of her sister col 1eges. q remember" said he, "when President Dwight was at the head of Yale he was asked to lead in prayer at some religious gathering in Bos- ton. Among his hearers was Presi- dent Eliot of Harvard President Dwight ended his supplicatfon by re-
 beating the Lords prayer and spoke a certain part of it as follows: .Thy will be done in heaven as it is on earth At the close of the meeting President Eliot of Harvard was greet ed by a friend, who said: Dwight was little lame on the Lords pray ST. He put earth ahead of heaven. Did you notice itY sYes,' replied Eliot, but I didn't pay any attention to it. That's the way they are taught to say it down at New Haven tv-Ex- ehangs.

FROM "rHE OLD SURGEON"

ssHard pavements and over-driVlng are bad for the shoulders and knees, '. replied the old surgeon, ''but, gentle men, the horse is soperfectly madethat If you will take off that check-rein he will stand a vast deal of hard driving ] on hard pavements without harm. Gentlemen, come back into the yard, 1 and I will explain. Here, boy, bring that horse this way. Now g entlemen, these shoulders, this long neck, and his head, together make up a wonder ful structure. The Creator seems to have known how to make all these parts and put them together, and, l fancy, He has taught each horse how to carry his head. You see there are a great many bones and fragments and tendonS and muscles, and these all work into and with each other, like the various parts in an orchestra. In some horses the natural position of the head is high. In that case, all these bones and fragments, and tendonS and mus cles, ill the head, and neck, and shoul- ders, are fitted to high head, and they work into and with each other in natural and easy way with head car
 
 of horses the natural position of the head is low. Now, in this. case, all these bones and fragments, and tendons, and muscles, in the head, and neck, and shoulders, work into and with each other in natural, easy, and eomfor- table way only when the head is car ried low. If in such a horse the head is fastened above it's natural place, you will see at once that all these bones and fragments. and tendons, and mus, cles. instead of playing into each other in their natural and comfortable way must work in an unnatural, strained way, and must pnoduce friction, fatigue and pain.''
 And then the old man went on 10 add many arguments against the check rein, and I remember he asked us whether We supposed the horse could see the road just in front of him as we'll when his head was a foot or a foot and half above it's natural place, as " hen he is allowed to carry it in its natural position. Among other things, he said if you whip a horse or knock him down with club the pain will soon pass away, but the tor ture of the check-rein continues from morning till night and every day of the year.-Our Dumb Animals.

BOND ELECTION.
Light Vote Is Being Cast
Owing To the Absence
Of Opposition.

The absencesof any opposition
to the issuance of the s12, ,OOC
school bonds, resulted in a very
light vote being cast at the special
election today.
The polls were opened this
morning in the Mayors Office with
L. X. McGufin, ]. 7. Gunter and
j. A. Thompson as judges and
Morris Knight and w. w. Ward
clerks.
The unanimity of sentiment in
favcr of issuing the bonds was
shown in the earlier voting, when
only about two out of the first
fifty votes were cast against the
issue.
1t is estimated that the total
vote viii not exceed 1875, and no
doubts are entertained as to the
result. The receipts from the sale
of the bonds will be used in pur-
chasing the property at present
occupied by the public school and
in the erection of additional

CRIMINAL CAREER
OF Sam Baker, the Murderer Of
Bob Gentry, Who Escaped
the Law is Ended BY
Bullet.

A desperate street fight at Che
.cotah, Saturday evening between
-Sa m Baker, notorious desperate
and Deputy United States Mar
shall Frank Jones following an at
tempt of the marshal to arrest
TBa ker, resultedin Bakerreceiving
a mortal wound and two ibystand-
ers being struck down by aying
bullets.
George d. Howard. che of the
unfortunates, received bullet in
his abdomen which will result in
his death. An Indian named Fox
received the other wild shot from
the deputy's revolver but.wiIl re-
cover.
There was an old feud existing
between the marshal and Baker,
because of previous attempts to
arr est the-latter for getting drunk
and disturbing the peace. Baker,
who is a relative of the famous
feudist Bakers Of Kentucky and
relative of Frank and gesEs James
is identified with the Brooks Rid
die feud OF the Creek nation, from
which has resulted the deaths
of fifty or more men in the last
ten years. Baker is brother.in-
law of Brooks, both marrying In
dian women. Two years ago it
'was thought the best way to COM
promise with this man OF crimes
was to make him an officer Of the
law. He was for thirty days
deputy United States marshal, but
the effect was not what was hoped
for and he was removed.
.Eifteen months ago Baker mur-
dered Bob Gentry, respected cit
isen of Checotah. He was given a
preliminary hearing and for some
reason he was released. Doctors
say he can not recover. He in
sists, however, that he is not CO.
ing to die, and that he will yet
live TO mete out his idea of justice
to his, enemies. When the deputy
came snp to Baker to arrest him,
Baker started to draw his six.
shooter. but it hung in some way.
The marshal leveled a cooked re.
volver in his face. Baker reached |
out with his other hand and de.
liberately brushed the revolver
aside as she deputy pulled the
trigger, and Mr.. Howard received
the fatal shot. In like manner, !
John Fox, the Indian, was shot in
the arm, but the officer finally hit
his man.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES
Enormous Increase in Volume of
Travel From East to Colorado.

The minds of Eastern railway
managers have been greatly disturbed
by the Western lines to make Colo
rade the Mecca of the pleasure seeker
and some decided steps to divert
travel from the East to the Rockies
have been proposed.
The low rates from Chicago and
Eastern points to Colorado originally
proposed and made effective by John
Sebastian, general passenger and
ticket agent of the Rock Island route,
have created an increase in two
seasons of 700 per cent in the volume
summer tourist travel, and plan to
inaugurate low rates from st. Louis,
Chicago and like points to Eastern
resorts, on basis similar to that
made effective by the Western lines,
is now being considered by Eastern
trunk lines.
The Rock Island officials are max
ing great efforts to exploit Coloraio's
natural advantages, climatic and
otherwise, and have prepared in
teresting booklets on the subject.
One devoted exclusively to camp
life in the Rockies gives detailed in
formation as to favorable locations
for camps. necessary equipment and
clothing, where it may be obtained,
cost, etc. compiled from data fur
nished by Major S. X. Hooper of the
Rio Grande system.
These booklets will have very
large distribution throughout the
East, and will. it is hoped, assist
materially in increasing still further
the volume of bushes to Colorado
during the summer months.
1t is now too late to stem the tide.
The Eastern people known what per-
feet rest Colorado can offer the tired
brain worker, and as long as the
Rock Island and other lines continue
their present policy, they will come
to the Rockies by thousands. Den
