DUTIES OF ABATTOIR SHEEP.
Trained "Pets" That Lead Their Tn
suzDectlng Companions 10
the Slaughter.

Out at the abattoir the pets" among
the sheep may be distinguished by
their superior height and shapeliness
and by the intelligence of their express
sion. The pets are murderers, says the
Philadelphia Record In the other
pens sheep come and go by thousands
TO the slaughter, but the pets remain
They are trained to lead their fellows
TO death. and they do this work well.
for they have by reason Of their
strength, intelligence and beauty a
great influence. When the butchers Of
the abbatoir wish 20 slaughter flock
of sheep word is passed TO the pets,
and they indifferently calmly samter
in among the flock, gain their conf
dence and esteem and then take their
places at the head and lead them TO the
slaughter house. The bloodstained and
murderous pets have more than one
unsheeplike quality. They eat pretzels
and pie and drink beer.

THlSis the story of the commuters
and their advantages. 1t also
tells of their disadvantages.
Every city Of considerable size has
its commuters. and the national capital
has only recently grown to that size,
/ OF course, even small cities have per-
eentage Of commuters, but they only
attain respectability in numbers when
the city grows abnOrmally.
Some readers have never heard OF
commuters, nor even seen any of them
They must be informed that COM
muters are men and women who work
in cities, no matter at what occupa-
tions, while they dwell in suburban vii
lages or away out in the country
Henry George, or some philosopher
like him, would here stop to reel oil
an argument about the wickedness and
wrong-doing of those who own prop
erty TO the exclusion of others; but
that has nothing TO do with this story
1t may be wrong for certain individ-
uaIs to own thousands of acres of graz
ing ground for their countless cattle;
and it may be wrong for certain men to
own a major portion Of the earth in
which gold is deposited. 1t may be
wrong for William A. Clark TO own the
greatest deposit of copper on the face
Of the earth; and it may be wrong for a
few individuals to own the great coal
fields Of this continent. But the right
of it and the wrong ofitmust be argued
out by philosophers, scientists, politi-
clans or political economists.
Rents in cities are very high because
the limited amount of land used for
business purposes is very valuable.
The ground is of greater value than the
edifces erected upon it. Therefore,
the ground used for residences is so far
beyond the reach of ordinary wage
earners that they can never think Of
owning city homes; and very large
number of them cannot even earn
enough TO enable them TO afford topay
house rent or room rent. These people
become the commuters Of the cities.
They get that peculiar name be-
cause Of the fact that the railroad com
panies carry them from their suburban
homes to their work in the city every
morning and back again every night
for a comparatively small charge. That
is, as compared with the regular
rates for passengers. They buy
monthly or quarterly communication
tickets, and it is on account Of this
that they are called commuters.
The strangest thing about com
muters of the national capital Is that
they can rent houses in Baltimore at
such a low rate, as compared with rates
here, that they can afford TO pay their
communication rates and yet save
money. Baltimore is 40 miles distant
from Washington. but it only takes
about thr,e-quarters of an hour to
make the trip. Government clerks
here in great numbers rent homes in
Baltimore, although they do their work
in this city. The Offices here open at
nine o'clock every morning, and close
at four o'clock every afternoon. The
commuters read their morning papers
while coming to their offices, and read
their evening papers while returning
10 their Baltimore homes.
These commuters are not known in
Washington outside Of their Offices.
