Bad Luck at Last.

SHERIFF Storey's antics lately" be-
gan the elderly politician, makes we
want to give him the same advice that
the freshman gave the corpse with the
large gold filled front tooth.
What was that?"
"why, you remember the story OF
the woman that lost her husband in
the surf at Long Beach one summer
He went swimming, got too far out and
didn't get back. The widow offered a
reward for the body, and finally, a
bout two weeks later, a sure enough
floater stranded somewhere down the
beach. 1t was found by q couple OF
Irishmen, who had heard of the $50
reward. So they brought the remains
up to where the widow was staying.
She came, saw and wept, and then
give directions for the disposal Of the
body. Just as is was being removed
the lower jaw fell open, as sometimes
happens, revealing large gold filled
front tooth.
"sThat's not my husband" exclaim-
ed the woman. He had false teeth. !
shall not pay you for this. Take It
away
And she marched into the house with
some show of Indignation that she SO
nearly had been tricked.
."The Irishmen looked after and then
at one another Then one shook his
fist vindictively at the remains. e
"sBad cess to you, he muttered: 1T

WOOL SUPPLY is SLIM.
American Wool and Cotton Annual
Shows Large Shrinkaqe.

Chicago, Dec. 31.-Conditions of the
wool trade, the stocks of wool at the
principal markets of America, the wool
production of the year and the number
of sheep in the country shorn for wool
and the course of prices for the year,
with comparison with last year and the
situation as it exists in the interior, as
outlined in yesterdays issue of the
American Wool and Cotton Reporter,
are given below:
Developments affecting the wool
market since Jan. /, 1904, present
most remarkable showing. We can
not recall a year in which the supplies
of wool on the market have been re-
duced to such small dimensions as they
are at the present time--certaanly
they have not been SO small at the
close Of any year of which a record
has been kept. The cause of this
has been an unprecedentedly large
demand for consumption, which set in
at the beginning of the summer, at a
time when the available stocks of old
wool on hand had been reduced to
very moderate dimensions. The mills
were hungry for wool, and for months
they were free buyers; indeed at times
there seemed to be perfect scramble
for wool, as the result of the very limit.
ed stocks carried by manufacturers,
the Improvement in the goods situa-
ton and the enlarged demand for fab
RIGS.
Present Supply is Short.
"The consequence has been that we
find that the stocks of wool in the Bos-
ton market now aggregate only 2S,S40,-
900 pounds including foreign woods
and woods of every description, as COM
pared with S5,3SO,0O0 pounds year
ago, and 7s,320,0O0 pounds two years
ago. The total stocks of wool in the
United States exclusive of manufact-
urers' holdings, are only 59,51,67S
pounds, as compared with 157,427,700
pounds year ago. The sales of wool
in the Boston market for the year
have reached the large. total of 27S,-
100000 pounds, as against 212,071,0 900
pounds last year.
"There has naturally been a radical
advance in the price of wool as the
result of the foregoing conditions both
at home and abroad.
.sF'rom the tables we have compiled
II will be seen that the size of the wool
product of the country THIS year mas
not materially differed from that of
the previous year. The entire produce
ton was 295. S93,929 pounds, as COM
pared with 29s,S46.s4S pounds the pre-
vious year. and the number of sheep
at the spring shearing, exclusive of
lambs was 4O,121,477, as against 40
S,44o in 1903. The average weight
per fleece, however, was just triae
less, being 6.s1 pounds this year as
against 6.33 pounds last year."

| Chicago, Dec. 31.-Cattle Today's

kinds and sold slowly at weak prices.
Many sellers have condemned the
buying interests for their utter indif-
ference toward offerings In the past
few days, claiming that the enforced
fairly even distribution of receipts
turnout the first five days Of this week
should have stimulated more free
buying.
Hogs.
There was good demand for hogs.
as is natural after meagre supplies of
all week, but buyers improved their
opportunities by putting prices SOLO
lower. The bulk Of sales were $4.6OD
4.65.
Hog receipts were larger Friday than
for several days past, owing to the fact
that weather conditions were better.
and railroads were able to handle the
stock. Then, too, the sharp advance
occasioned by the scarcity during the
early part of the week, was no doubt
factor. While receipts for the day
were large, compared with some days
past, they were in reality very small
for this time of year. Notwithstanding
the fact that packers are looking for
much more liberal receipts as result
Of the late advance, the market was
active at the opening, with prices
strong to higher.
Sheep.

DESERT SCAVENGERS.

Each one Keeps a COnstSent Sharp
 Eye on the Othe A.
 It is probable that one never fully credits the interdepcnlence of wild creatures and tEeir cognizance of the affairs of their kind and other kinds. Mrs. Mary Austin. in The Land of Little Rain," says that the scavengers of the desert all keep an eye on one another
 Never a coyote comes out of his lair to hunt. in the country. of the carrien crows. but looks up first to see where the crows :ire gathering. 1t is suf- ficient occupation for a windy morn ing on the listless, level mesa te.watcli tie pair of them eying each other fur lively, with tolerable assumption of uGconcern. but no doubt with a cer- tain amount of good understanding.
 When the i've coyotes that range the lyon from Pasteria to Tunawai planned relay race to bring down an eagle swung down from Mount Pinos, buzzards materialized out of invisible ether and hawks came trooping like small boys to a street fight. ] Rabbits sat up in the chaparral and cooked their ears. feeling themselves quite safe for once as the hunt swung near them. ~...r E.
 Nothing happens in the deep wood that the bluejays are not all agog to tell. The hawk follows the badger, the coyote the carrion crow, and from their aerial stations the buzzards watch each other.
 Very clean and handsome, quite be- lying his relationship in appearance, is Clark's crow, that scavenger and plum derer of mountain camps. It Is per missible to call him by his common name, camp robber." He has earned 1t. Not content with refuse, he picks open meal sacks, flches whole pota- toes, is gormand for bacon, drills holes in packing cases and is daunted by nothing short of tin.
 All the while he does not neglect to vftuperate the chipmunks and spar rows that whisk off crumbs of comfort from under the campers feet. 's<.'
