Mead's Railroad Plank

was thought of Mr. Mead as legls-
lator at that time and explain how he
became a, supporter of John 3. Allen
and at the same time how it happened
that although a man of no legislative
experience he was given one of the
most important committees in the
house.
Name Seldom Mentioned.
dn the newspaper accounts of the
proceedings of the legislature of 1908
Mr. Meads name was very rarely men,
toned, indicating in the mast reliable
manner that he took but little part in
framing legislation. AS chairman of
one of the most important committees.
the committee which considered more
bills than any other in the house, Mr..
Mead was in a position, had he had
the ability, to become an important
factor in framing legislation. But the
journal shows that he was the cham
pion of no measure of Importance, and
contributed but little to the legisla-
tive work The journal shows that
Mr.. Mead introduced in the house
seven bills. all of which were of COM
paratively little Importance. Four of
these. bills Nos. 229, sos, 314 and AS,
were referred to the appropriate COM
mittees and never thereafter rportd.
Two of them, bills Nos. q and 800
were reported from the respective
committees to which they were refer
red. Bill No. 81 was reported with
amendments and the recommendation
that it pass, and passed the house
with amendments, but did not pass the
senate. Bill No. 300 was reported from
the committee on municipal corpora =
tionS with the recommendation that 1t
be referred to the judiciary committee,
which was done. The standing of Mr.
Mead is indicated by the fact that the
bill was then lost sight of, Mr.. Mead
being unable to get his bill out of his
! own committee.

strange disappearance OF Lieutenant
Barlow he had nurscd the fear that
possibly Clark's scouts had captured
him and that The American forces
might be much nearer than kaskaskia.
Besides, his nerves were unruly. rs
they had been ever since the encounter

expedition. A shot, therefore, or even
a volley, heard on the outskirts of the
village was not noticeable incident
in the daily and nightly experience of
the garrison. Still, for some reason,
Governor Hamilton started violently
when just after nightfall five or six
rifles cracked sharply short distance
from the stOckade.

Hamilton was brave. The approach
of danger stirred him like trumpet
strain. His fighting blood rose to full
tide, and he gave his orders with the
steadiness and commanding force OF
born soldier. The officers hastened 10
their respective positions. On all sides
sounds Indicative of rapid preparations
for the fight mingled into confused
strain OF military energy. Men march
ed to their places. cannon were wheeled
into position, and soon enough the fr-
ing began in good earnest.
Late in the afternoon a rumor OF
Clark's approach had gone abroad
through the village, but not French
lip breathed it to friend OF the Brit
ish. The creoles were loyal to the
cause Of freedom; moreover they cor
daily hated Hamilton, and their hearts
beat high at the prospect Of change
in masters at the fort. Every cabin
had its hidden gun and supply OF am
munition despite the order to disarm
issued by Hamilton. There was
husting to bring these forth, which
was accompanied with guarded yet
irrepressible chattering, delightfully."-

Sheep in Utah.

1t is estimated that fully 100000 head
of sheep will Craze upon the ranges OF
Utah this winter. At present their con-
dition is unusually good, and the pros
poets are that they will do extremely
well and escape with light percentage
of mortality. In this regard tire out
look is much more encouraging than in
the previous year, when scanty feed and
early storms in the lambing season caus.
ed many fatalities and seriously affected
the increase. The shipments of sheep
to the markets at Omaha, Kansas City
and Chicago were comparatively light,
and actual figures are not obtainable at
this time. The prices realized were: for
fat wethers, 8 to 81 cents per pound gross,
for ewes, IA to i-2c. gross, and for
lambs, 3 1-2 to 3 3-4 cents gross.
AS the strain naturally deteriorates,
great pains are taken to restore the same
by introducing blooded animals of the
Lincoln, Shropshire, Merino and Ram
bouillet breeds, and as result of the
intelligent care displayed, Utah mutton,
no less than Utah wool, is highly esteem
ed by eastern buyers.
As in the case of the wool industry,
the sheep raisers are handicapped when
ever there is light water supply or an
unusually severe winter. High rates of
freight are also a perennial source OF
complaint.-New England Farmer.

Both men. stimulated to the finger
tips by a draft Of imperiOus passion,
fairly plunged to the inevitable con-
lict. All. if Alice could have seen her
beautiful weapons cross, If she could
have heard the fine, farreaching clink,
clink. clink. while sparks leaped forth
dazzling even in the moonlight; II she
could have noted the admirable-nay,
the amazing-play as the men, regain
!ng coolncss to some extent, gathered
their forces and fell cautiously to the
deadly work. it would have been
enough to change the cold simmer OF
her face to flash of warm delight.
For she would have understood every
fant. mnge. parry. and seen at a glance
how Father Beret set the pace and led
the race at the beginning. She would
have understood, for Father Beret had
taught her all she knew about the art
of fencing.
Hamilton quickly felt, and with a
sense Of its strangeness, the priests
mastery command of his weapon The
surprise called up all his caution and
cleverness. Before he could adjust
himself to such an unexpected con-
dition he came near being spitted out
right by pretty pass under his guard.
The narrow escape, while it put him on
his best mettie, sent wave Of super
stition through his brain. He recalled
what Barlow had jocularly said about
the doings Of the devil-priest or priest
vevl at Roussillon place on that night
when the patrol guard attempted to
take Gaspard Roussillon. Was this
indeed Father Beret, that gentle old
man. now before him. or was 1t an
avenging demon from the shades?
The thought fitted electrically across
his mind. while he deftly parried,
feinted. lunged. giving his dark antag-
onist all he could do to meet the play.
Priest or devil, he thought-he cared
not which-he would reach his vitals
presently Yet there fingered with him
haunting half fear or tenuous awe,
