Must be a Mistake.

The sheepmen of this county
had a hard time this year with
their lambs. About half of the
lamb crop was lost and all of this
is on account of the forest reserve
restrictions. If they are the
same next year as they are this
year the Sheepmen of Apache
county will have to go out of
business. st. Johns Herald.
The above clipping was referred
TO Supervisor F. S. Breen who
has charge of the reserve in
question, for information as to
the probable losses of sheep in
that vicinity. Mr.. Breen informs
us that a number of sheep
raisers who were granted permits
In that vicinity, to Craze sheep
on the reserve did not avail them
selves OF the opportunity because
of splendid feed and good water
outside the reserve. If any lambs
were lost it was through other
reasons than from being excluded
from the reserve. If losses to the
extent mentioned occurred be-
cause sheep owners, forty, fifty
and sixty miles from the reserve,
which in that locality is about
six miles wide, sheep grazing
was originally i'll a very prccari-
Gus condition and the owners
lack management in not prOvid-
ing means Of their own to main
tain the industry. -COConino Sun.

Breen seems to be ignorant of
the actual condition Of the sheep
men of Apache county. In the
first place, he states that several
sheep raisers who were granted
permits to Craze their sheep on
the reserve did not take advant-
age of the same. We have in
quired into the matter and tird
that every sheep raiser Of Apache
county who was granted a per-
NIT, took advantage of it and
graised his sheep on the reserve.
A number Of others tried to get
permits but were refused Mr.
Breeu also seems to think that
half the lamb crop was NOT lost
here this year. We can furnish
him with all kinds of proof that
half the lambs WE'RE lost on aC-
count of being excluded from the
reserve. Sheep have been ex-
cluded from the best part of the
reserve in Apache county and
after that the lamb crop has been
about half what it was before the
sheep we're excluded. Before the
sheep was excluded from that
part OF the reserve the Sheepman
Of this county were successful
every year with their lambs. Mr..
Breen no doubt misunderstood
the true meaning of the item.

The editor of this paper got

PASSING OF THE MAN WHO HAULED DOW

James H. Bount served the state of Georgia in Con-
ress for 20 years all that service is obscured by one
act of unpopuary. 1t was evident to any American of
ordinary foresight that Hawaii destined to come
under the stars and stripes. When the rebellion came
in the islands, and marines of United States cruiser
were sent ashore police Honolulu for the time, it is
possible that the naval authority stretched in order
to favor the rebellious element minority of Amer-
cans secured CONTROL and they did abuse their
bv employing harsh methods against their opponents.
1t was perhaps the gentest revolution Of recent times
The stars and stripes run up by the dominant
party and they asked for the protection Of the United
States and admission into the Union.
President Cleveland held that this was usurpaton,
and that the good of the United States was in
question. H. refused the plea of the government
and sent Congressman Blount his special commits
sioner authorized to haul down the flag and formally
discounteuance the rebellion and separate the new gov
ernment from all connection with the government of the
United States. 1t is doubtful if any other nation in the
world would have done this, but it done, and Bount
was the instrument although the majority of his coun
trymen cried against the act Had he refused to
perform this spectacular and enseess act Blount would
have become famous American and he might have at

PRAYER AND DIVORCE.

man up in Akron, Ohio, was recently granted a.
divorce from his wife, who refused to live with HIM
because he would not say grace before meals. But
Akron, Ohio, is not alone in its distinction for
strenuous insistence upon family forms of piety.
A woman in Kokomo, Ind, recently had her hus-
band arrested because, while she was making breld
and had her hands in the dough, he called her to
family prayers, and when she failed to respond at
once, he knocked her down. The magistrate felt in
this case the husband had shown of zeal and
fined him $50.
Two questions arise Has wife right to force
her husband against his will to say grace at meals?
Has husband right to force his wife to leave the
dough at Il critical period and kneel in family
prayer? The courts seem to have decided both
questions in the negative.
The value of prayer must not be under-estimated
But it must be admitted that it would seem ncon-
sstent to leave the dough to spoil the pan while
kneeling down to ask God ito give us this day our
daily bread" The best prayer lies in doing our
own part.
Grace at meals has its function. But husband
and wife happy at the table, each conceding to the
other until their spirits blend in harmony, must be
far more pleasing to God than any words uttered by
the mouth. For be assured that the husband and
wife who are not in harmony with each other are
not in harmony with the divine plan, and there Is
no real prayer can come from their hearts.
These two cases only illustrate how prone we arc
to drop the substance of right living and grasp al
its shadow.
Religion with many of us is little more or less
than disposition to appeal to God to do for III
what we fail to do for ourselves, but could do If W.
would We too often resort to prayer in lieu o
