FOR SHEEP RANCE.
Boston Men Buying f8artiett's Island
for that Purpose.

Boston Men Buying Bartiett's Island
for that Purpose.
story is being printed from Boston
to the effect that Capt y. r. Johnson. Of
that city, is buying Bartlett's Island for
the purpose OF converting II into one
large sheep ranch. THE AMERICAN has
not been able TO verify the story from
Bartiett's island sources. Tine report
from Boston Is as follows:
Capt. N. p. johnson, of Boston, IL now
engaged In securing possession OF Bart
| lett's Island. Me-, for the purpose OF turn
ing it into huge sheep pasture, and his
Efforts In that direction are being watched
with The greatest interest by the people OF
the vicinity.
Bsrtletts island Il about three miles
long and from half to q mile In width.
There are upon It twenty-seven dwellings,
a schooIhouse and public hail. AT one
time these dwellings were all occupied,
and there was q considerable population
upon the island, but now all this Is
changed, and bot nine OF the houses are
occupied, while the school contains bat
nine boys. Already Capt. johnson, who
is working In the interests Of syndicate,
has secured possession OF the greater part
of the island, and will have the remain
der in 3 short time.
The price that has been paid for the
land has been high, and those selling feel
that they have made good bargains.
Among the stipulations OF the purchasers
IL that the old owner shall vacate at once,
which means that they must leave the
1t and does not care to have any person
living there, excepting such help as they
may keep. This Is causing a few psngs
OF regret among the older residents, es-
peeialiy those who have been born and
reared upon the island. and some OF whom
have never been on from 1t for more than
day at time and those days being very
few and far between.
Among the oddities OF the transactions
ontbe island 10 the fact that the syndicate
has purchased the land upon which the
public bail sits. The building was owned
by another party than the one who owned
the land, and when an attempt was made
to secure the building from him at the
same time the land was purchased, he
wanted . much larger price than was
offered. Mr.. johnson then secured the
land, and has now told the owner OF the
building that II must be removed from the
land controlled by him. This brings the
owner OF the building mp against g oifh-
cult proposition, viz: Where 1t is TO
be moved TOT Any land that IL not now
owned by the people represented by John
son will be shortly, and so there Is no
place to move the building to, and the
syndicate absolutely refuses to purchase,
now.
Capt. johnson says that the people
represented by him have secured control
OF method of preparing fab, such as are
caught In the waters adjacent to the
island, so that they can be used for food
for the sheep. thereby guaranteeing a
plentiful supply OF food for the animals
in the winter, which has been one OF the
crest objections to island sheep-rsssing.

RIPPLEs.

Ideas count for success, even in street
begging. Old tricks become tiresome
through familiarity. The mendicant
of the present day, if he would livs
we'll, must get something new. One
of the latest lodges of the New York
solicitor OF aims is heroic 1t first
arouses the indignation of the victim
and then pacifies him, and finally wins
his sympathy and his money. 1t is
worked in this way:A shabbily attired
man hurries along the street, apparent
lyunconscious Of his surrounding. He
expectorates, as though by chance, on
to the well polished shoe of the passer-
by Before the man has time to pro-
test the mendicant drops on his knees
and with the remnants of well worn
handkerchief, rubs away at the. soiled
shoe, meanwhile pouring forth profuse
apologies. Nine times out of ten he
gets dime for his politeness.

following results: The sons of eleven
were ordinary. Those of seven were
inferior in morals. Those of twelve
were superior and Of these seven
were in the ministry beside their IA
theirs. On the whole the parsonage
homes are especially blessed
According to the investigation of the
minister it appears that the time worn
classification Of the parsons sons as
bad gives an erroneous idea of their
real status. The consideration men
toned by the Sioux City preacher is
that the minister's son is compared
with the ideal rather than the real,
but how few persons realize this
Ministers sons are composed of the
same kind of human nature as other
people Then it is not so strange that
from the large number of people there
is found here and there one who has
been brought up in moral, Christian
home that has wandered away from
it's teachings.

IOWA AS A PRIZE WINNER.

Iowa never seems to tire of winning
prizes. In whatever field of activity
or contest it may be the Hawkeye
state is always ready to take part and
to say the least, it's part is always per-
formed with credit. A glance at the
history Of various exhibitions that
have been held during the past few
years will disclose the fact that Iowa
must always be considered.
Recently at the convention of apple
growers held in st. Louis, Mo-, it was
Iowa apples that were awarded first
place. Again Iowa has been success
full. The judges, at the live stock ex-
position in Chicago in passing upon
the different exhibits, have decided
that Iowa again excels. This time it
is in the shorthorn class of cattle.
Prince of Quality, raised at the Iowa
agricultural college at Ames, has been
awarded first place. Reports received
from the exposition during the past
few days have indicated that
never before in the history OF the or
ganization, have the exhibits been of
such unexceptional quality. And un-
der the more exacting conditions that
had to be met it is all the more indica-
tive of the excellence of the Iowa pro-
duct that it has been able to carry off
the honors from it's numerous competi-
tors.
Aside from the satisfaction which
comes to the people of Iowa with the
knowledge of this new conquest there
are other considerations that are here
by indicated. Iowans take a pride in
the production Of the best for its own
sake. Their efforts are always turned
to improving and perfecting the pro-
ducts of farm, shop or whatever it
may be. A prize winner in any de-
partment of industry does not show
such great contrast from the average
output and is naturally of excellent
quality.
