DESTINY OF HUMAN SOULS.
Theory That the spirits OF DspraVed

Theory That the Spirits of Dspraved
Men Pass Into the Beasts,
Are the bodies of animals Inhabited
by the souls OF human villains dead
and gomez Don't sneer too hastily at
the question. for II II should be an
swered finally In the negative science
Is at q loss to account for the utter
depravlty Of the animals. 1t Is APP
parent to the dullest observer that
dumb beasts exercise mallgn in1u-
ence over man. Think Of the tempers
ruined by cows that have kicked over
half-filled pals Of milk. Think OF the
regulations for truth that have been
destroyed by trout. Think Of the hon
esty that has been turned into deceit
by the horse, so that they who trade In
that animal are bywords among their
less sorely tempted brethren. Think
OF the indefinite prolongatlon OF this
list that might be made and then con-
slider II animals are or are not aul-
mated by the souls OF human wretches
that have passed away.
Some such theory must be accepted
and 1t is not open to doubt that rea-
sonable people will accept this: The
souls of the wicked are condemned to
pass into animals and to stay there
until they have discovered prospective
tenants worse than themselves.
This theory explains everything The
liars Inhabit fish, the trlcksters horses
and those given to buttIng in become
goats. In the attempt to end their
tenancy by finding suitable successors
the evil spirits resort to temptation.
with, alas! unfalling success. The half
pound trout dropping OF the hook flaps
his tail In ecstatic certainty that the
angler will proclaim him a fve-pound-
er at least And the look OF human
anticipation on the face Of a goat
about to. knock some unsuspectlng per
son into a barbed wire fence can only
proceed from the knowledge that the
resultant explosion will lower another
soul into the mire as a stepping stone
for himself.
The theory is irrefutable and its
general acceptance would help the
world to higher plane.-Portland

Of Imprisonment or incarceration In

Of this kind, involving sentences OF
imprisonment the total terms OF which
amounted to over twenty.four years,
to say nothing Of condemnations In.
volving Incarceration In fortress,
degradation and other penalties,
Eleven OF these eighty convictions
were against officers and as their pun
ishments varied between four months
incarceration In fortress and seven
days ordinary arrest It is assumed
that their offenses were not of such
a heinous character as those OF the
non-commissioned officers, In one case,
however, an officer was sentenced TO
two months Imprisonment and was
dismissed from the service. The heavi'
est sentence was that which was Inn
posed upon the non-commlssioned off,
Ger Breidenbach, of the Fourth Guards
regiment, who was condemned TO eight
years Imprisonment for a very large
number of aggravated cruelties infict-

The cases have been most numerous
among the infantry and artillery; there
has been only one case In the cavalry,
BY far. the largest number OF cases
were In the Prussian contingent, where
the penalties inflicted amounted to a
total OF over twenty three years I'M
prisonment in Bavaria and about five
months In Saxony, II must be remem-
bered, however, that the Prussian con.

MONTANA'S SHEEP FLOcKa
Yield of Wool the Last Season Was
37,5OO,OOo Pounds.

37,5OO,Ooo Pounds.
The State of Montana in the wool
season of 1903 produced, according to
the estimate prepared by State off,
clals, 37,5O0,CCO pounds Of wool frcm
the backs of 12,5OJ,COO sheep. For this
wool Eastern buyers paid $6,0C0,OO0, an
average of 1t cents pound. Few peo-
pie have any conception Of what Is
meant when 1t Is said that there are
12,5CO,000 sheep within the limits Of the
State. There>is not single State east
of the Mississippi In which this glgan-
tic flock could Craze, says the Boston
Transcript.
|, If the 12,5OO,OOO sheep Of Montana
were to march nose to tail, crOwding
each other, they would make a line
10000 miles long, or nearly half way
round the earth. This line, in single
file, would be about $50 days in pass
Ing a given point. These sheep are
worth $1OOOOO,OOO as they walk the
range, and their flesh would bring
$3.50, 100000 for food Their mutton
would feed one man 100000 years,
or If 1850 people had started to con-
sumo 1t at the time Of the birth Of
Christ they would have some left.
The mutton would feed 2,500,O00
people on meat for year, or, allowing
the average percentage Of mutton to
each family, it would more than supply
this nation a year. The wool yielded
by this flock of sheep would make
100000 suits of mems clothes. Made
In cloth Of ordinary texture 1t would
form a band quarter of a mile wide
and more than long enough to be
wound about the earth at the equator
1t would make a carpet on which an
army might maneuyer.
Baled, this wool would fill $3.50
freight cars, or train nearly forty
miles long. The United States navy
could not transport it and an army of
10000 men might fight behind its bales
and be safe from the ordinary small
arm. The sheep of Montana, If herded
shoulder to shoulder one deep, would
make front 5000 miles long. Herded
in loose formation, allowing room to
move rapidly, they would cover an area
of eight square miles.
Allowed to breed In a favorable eli
mate these sheep would become 50,-
100000 in the course Of a year, CT

years. But man eats many of them
annually and disease and b.izzards
carry off many more. 1t is eStima I'd

inside of four days in a blizzard which
