HERD OF GOATS.
Imported From South Africa is Val
ued at $4,000.

One hundred and forty-nine of the
highest priced goats that were ever
brought to this country arrived from
South Africa recently by the British
steamship Susquehanna. They are OF
the .Angora breed and are said to have
cost about $4,000.
The goats were purchased in Cape
Colony by Mr.. G. \. Early, an Ameri-
can, who had visited South Africa be-
fore the outbreak of the Boer war. 1t
was due to the fact that he had al
ready contracted for them that he
was allowed to take them out OF the
country, as directly after the war the
British government placed an embar-
go on the expectation of live stock.
Mr.. Early is making the experiment
of domesticating these valuable ami
mails in this country, and has secur-
ed a place in New Jersey, where the
goats will be taken after they have
undergone the customary quarantine
This breed of goats was introduced
into Cape Colony about 40 years ago.
They throve there and largely propa-
gated, the climate being specially we'll
suited to the perfect development OF
the wool. The wool, or mohair, as it
is technically termed, is long, fine and
heavy. and covers the whole body and
part of the legs with close-matted
ringlets of particularly soft and silky
texture.
The importer believes that the ami
mails will thrive as we'll here as in
South Africa, and, as the breed is pro-
life the kids grow fast and arriv-
ing early at maturity, he is confident
Of the outcome of his experiment to
domesticate them here. The flesh Of
the Angora is said to be better eating
than that of any other breed, and in
Turkey, its native country, is prefer
red to mutton 1t is its fine quality of
wool, however. which renders it so
valuable.

Would Hurry When the Lord Came.

1T is an awful good thing to obey
the commands OF the Lord" says a
member of the recent Methodist gen.
eral conference from Pennsylvania
to a Washington Times man. ''and
whenever I think of this I am re-
minded OF story related OF a pion-
eer Methodist named Valentine Cook,
who was a power in his day. and who
got off many odd sayings.
"Once there was a terrible upheav-
al of nature in the shape OF an
earthquake, and DR.. Cook woke up,
finding his bed jostling and turning.
He believed the end Of the world near
and made a bee line for the door.
His good wife, in great agitation,
called, Valentine, wait for me!
Wait for me'
" No, my DEAR he answered,
When the Lord comes I'll wait for
nobody. Good bye,' and out Of the
door he shot"

The Worlds Goods.

Irving Bachelor, author, tells with
glee OF recent visit to the old farm
up the state where he spent his boy
hood days. The place was in poor
condition. the buildings being dilapi-
dated and everything giving mute
evidence OF long neglect. On the
porch OF the ramshackle house sat an
old man bowed with the weight Of
years and big mortgage on the farm.
After exchanging greetings Mr..
Bachelor said:
well, I fancy this place might have
looked little better if | had stayed
here"
"Mebbe 'twould," replied the old
man with a sigh. "The old farm
might have looked bit more spruce:
but its dollars to doughnuts that you
wouldn't be wearin' sech good clothes
as you got on!"

Thoughtful.

Woman's Home Companion.
General "Joe" Wheeler relates the
following amusing incident that
took place during the night OF the
El Caney affair:
General Lawton's division was
marching back to El Paso, there to
take up a new position in the morn
ing. The general in company with
Major Creighton Webb, inspector
general of his staff, was standing at
the edge OF the road, watching his
troops file past. Just as the dawn
was breaking the colored troops
came in sight. They gave evidence
of being dead tired, but were never
theless full of ginger
General Lawton's attention was
attracted to certain corporal of the
o5th Infantry, great six-foot, who
in addition to a couple of guns and
two cartridge belts loaded full, was
carrying dog. The soldier to whom
the other gun belonged was linping
alongside his comrade.
The general halted the men.
Here, corporal said he to the Six
foot man, didn't you march all last
night?'
Yes, sir responded the negro,
saluting.
And fought all day.
" Yes, SIR
You have besides, been march
ing since ten o'clock tonight?
Yes, SIR
" Their, sal. Lawton, why on
earth are you carrying that dog?
Well, general replied the ne
gro, showing his white teeth i'll a
bread grin, the dogs tired!

the room, and broke up the game. Re-
Wiling him at the top of her voice, she
then grabbed up a chair and brought
it down on his head and shoulders sew
eral times in rapid succession.
A large crowd gathered and the pro-
pretor started to put the woman
out. but a young man interfered and a
general row was narrowly averted.
Herman escaped in the melee and his
wife made search of all the saloons
on Holly street, but was unable to To-
cate him again. Mrs. Herman is an
Amazon in build. weighing about 240
pounds. but her husband is compare
