The Enemies of wild Sheen.

Wild sheep depend for greatest pro-
lection on their climbing abilities. They
travel where no man a follow. and
often in climbing use their knees in
stead Of their forehoofs. Their first
instinct ut the approach Of an enemy
Is to start for the mountain top. aiming
II possible to get above and keep above
the enemy. Wolves. wolverines and
eagles are their me-; common enemies.
and he lambs suffer extensively from
these. Wolves are capable Of taking
down grown animals. but In summer
hunger seldom induces them to make
the struggle. and in winter they pre-
fer lower attitudes. There are many
stories told Of the lOrdly rams doing
battle with wolves. which are on q
par with the story OF leaping from
dizzy heights. The old rams are Gun.
ming. and In this lies their creates,
safety. They are perfectly ut home
on rocky lodges. where the wolf Is not.
and II they can gain such a position
they will. with n charge. hurl the
wolf to the rocks bclOw.-A. J. Stone.

plea after District Attorney Jerome
had %acqulesced. and Immediately sen.
fenced Young to be confined at hard
labor in States prison for the term Of
his natural life.
Justice Herrick, after court had been
adjourned. said he thought the line be.
tween the two kinds Of insanity-the
medical and the lcgal-were n little bit
too finely drawn to allow him to con
sc~ientiously sentence n hi to death
when medical authorities agreed that
his mind was Unbalanced.
District Attorney Jerome thought 1t
to the best interests Of the people to
accept the plea Of Young.
Young tried hard to conceal his de-
light. He was seen in the TOmbs af-
ter having been sentenced. After
swearing ut the newspaper men. he
said:
"You are responsible for this. Do
you know that I am dying. Abram
Hewitt was nothing but skin and bone
when he died. I am as III as he was"
