New Mexico Sheep.

]. II. Starr, Of Oentralia, Mo-, and
his twin brother, W. B. Starr, OF
Greely, Colo, were here yesterday with
5,7OO New Mexican sheep, which they
are taking through to their 2,oo0farm
in Audrain county, Mo-, where they
will be put on feed. This is their first
shipment Of a string Of 10000 head
which they have bought and which
they will feed this winter, said the
Centralia brother. 1.-THE. sheep-feed'
ing industry is fast expanding In Mis-
souri," said J. II. Starr, land the men
who have fed have made more money
handling sheep than have the cattle
men. We have 500 head Of steers In
the feed lot at the present time, but
they will not make the clear money
that the same amount Of an invest
ment in sheep would do. We have
tried both and find this to be fact
although we keep right on feeding
cattle. kansas City Doyers' 1ele

Mrs. Warden very delightfully."- en-
tertained the Shakespeare Club Fri
day evening. The occasion was COM
plimentary to Miss Pauline Warden,
of Virginia, who is her guest. One Of
the amusements was particularly
unique and was the source Of much
fun and iollity. 1t was the progressive
proposing. The girls were given as
many paper hearts and mittens as
there were men, and, as they proposed,
II they were accepted, they were given
a heart; If not, the mitten. The gen.
tleman who made the best proposals
and receiving the largest number Of
hearts was to win the prize. oh, the
heights Of eioquence that was reached
by these bravesl "Words, words,
wordsl'' How they poured forth in
genuine Shakespearian style. They
proved themselves capable Romeos,
and surely that loquacious youth
would have felt justly proud Of his
followers. OF course, the Jullets
found they had not the heart to give
any Of them the mitten, so like Portla
they requested their victim TO choose
which casket. When the tally was
made Mr.. e. NJ. Jones, a guest was
found TO have succeeded in his con-
quest for hearts and won the book,
"Hearts Courageous" ar cell. one
of the spicy members, whose energetic
proposals had been seasoned high with
scientific fayors, thus handicapped,
received the most mittens-but he was
later consoled with a box Of candy.
Miss Mary Virginia Houston, in her
usual brilliant style, made the presen-
tation speeches. 1t was indeed a
most thoroughly enjoyable affair and
the club appreciates Mrs. warden's
courtesy much indeed. Mesdames
Clarence Davis and @. T. Allen assisted
the hostess In entertaining. Lovely
refreshments were served.

 The militia held it's first drill with the new captain, Thursday evening, and if it is a sample of what is to fol- low it will he but a short time until Tempe will have one of the best con- pauies in the territory. The drill was well attended and as soon as the new uniforms had been issued the company fell in for drill. The squad leaders took charge of their squads ard a half hour was spent on the street It iS stated (the truth, however, can not be VouChed for) that one leader rather in experienced in the work got his squad started toward the river and not know ing the necessary command to turn them around came near to drowning the men. After the squad drill Lieut. Campbell took charge of the company and gave them a good company drill Just before the company was dismissed Capt. Hayden spoke in regard to the future of the organization and said a'' thought it would be well to run it something on the plan of a club, he then appointed a committee to meet with him and draw up a constitution and bylaws. The new captain then did a very proper thing under the cir cumstances and passed around box of cigars.
