Willie's careful attention to his "in- ner man" soon brought results, and the. wrinkled hide which had covered his skeleton filled out until all the neighbors remarked: My, how that lamb does growi" He soon had a very respectable crop of wool, too, but pos sibly because he had caught cold, or because of his unnatural diet, the wool began to fall out. This. of course, gave him a ragged appearance, and caused him to look disreputable once more, and 1t became the duty of every one who came near him to help him quick ly through this period of unsightliness by pulling out a handful of the loose wool. The performance of this duty was not confined to humans. either, for several times, on going out to the barn where the lamb spent the night, 8 surprised a meadow mouse in the act of running off with big tuft of Will lies wool.
 Before he was half plucked. a lady came 10 stop al our house. and it was seen at once that affection in Willie had not been absent. but latent. All he had apparently was now lavisked on thig lady. and the lamb was seldom happy when she was out of his sight. If she went for a walk, Willie went with her. and if she sat down. the lamb would graze close by. or lie down on her skirt and chew his cud. If she went to sit on the piazza. Willie would lie down by her side until she arose and went away. When she went into the house. Willie at once ex- pressed his disappointment or dis pleasure by bIeating at the top of his lungs. If there was no response to this outcry, the lamb would stand on his hind legs al one window after au- ether placing his fore feet on the sill. and searching earnestly for his nls- trsss. Sometimes he would come to the door, and hammer at it with his fore feet and If TO one paid any atten- ti0n to that. he would leap against ths door with all his might. making noise which never failed to attract attention. Finally. If all his antics went unheeded. he would bound anzri- ly away along the piazza. with a series of jumps in which he gathered all four feet together and br0uzh. them down at once. with all the Tigor of his now vigorous body.
 Willie is by 10 means coward: he had a hard little head. and he knows how 10 use f. I took him into the In- closure to see the b1Ialo calves. not long ago. and when one of s1sm ad- vauoed upf- ~ Hsa As~srsd head, Willie very sOlsnnlY put his head town. too. and took tie first shock of fsttle Ike a soldier. But the next moment the calf looked % fierce. and s7orted and kicked 90 much. that tse lamb ran on out of 6angsr. But hs s usually willing to try conclusions with any other crsz- tzre, regardless of sine.

ChIId With Tmo Henh..

CALUMET, Mich, Sept. 11-One of natures prodigies, Wilton Thomas Rowe, baby with two heads, was re- vealed to the public the other day. At the end of the right elbow instead of a forearm and hand is a little head, perfectly formed. with nose, mouth and eye sockets. but no eyes. On the lef: hand are a thumb and two fingers, the fingers grown together in one. The joints instead of being on the back of the hand are on the palm. and as a re- suit the hand closes outwardly. Where the right leg should be is only a stump. and protruding from the knee is a foot with three toes. The child. which is nine months old, is bright intelli- gent and otherwise normal.

SPIRIT
WEALTHY WIDOW OF LISBON
 FINDS IT IN A ROOSTER.
Builds the Bird a Fine House and Makes Him Her Sole Heir,
 But Indignant Relatives 4 Twist His Neck.

The Donna Silva was a wealthy widow of Lisbon. much given over to the study of spiritualism and things occult. It happened that one day she came across a book dealing with the fT4nsmigration of souls. The subject Impressed her deeply, and she pon. deTed long over the book, endeavoring b decide into what creature she would prefer her spirit to make it's abode.
 Then she thought of her husband. He had been dead three years. She wundered where his soul had mi. grated Perhaps 1t was in the little mouse that had startled her so the other day. She hoped it was not. However. in whatever creature it might be. whether bird. or even rep tiIe, the Donna Silva felt it should be her mission in life to find out.
 Fortune favored the lady in her guest One day. while driving in the country. she heard a cock growing. Strangely, the note sounded quite fa- miliar. It reminded her of her late husband And then she knew that 1t was he, calllng for her to come to him.
 So the Donna went, and soon found herself face to face with a handsome rooster, who, perched on a hay-rick, made melody for miles around.
 At the sight the lady could scarcely repress her feelings. Only the inborn fimidity of the rooster prevented her doing so, 80 overjoyed was she at find

WILLIE lHt LAMB
INTERESTING CAREER OF THE
 PET OF THE NATURALIST
From 8 Delicate Babyhood He De- velops Into a Healthy Creature of Independent Ways and Some
 Affection-His Mistress.

It is seldom that I have had either the time or the inclination to study domestic animals, lease of all have ever desired to emulate Mary, whose historic pet was long since converted into mutton. However, there are some things in this world which we get whether we want them or not; some times it's measles-sometimes it's a lamb.
 Willie arrived with a bad cold, and, in spite of the fact that we were con- tinually picking out warm corners for him and feeding him on the warmest milk he would drink, for long time the little fellow appeared as one be- loved of the gods. He would lie down with closed eyes for hours at time, to get up at last and wander aimlessly about, only to lie down little later. When he first came, he would take a good deal of warm milk, but the amount fell of until he would hardly take any. He just sniffed it, shook his head and turned away.
 Even as early as this, we discovered that Willie had a mind of his own. If he didn't want 6 thing. he knew it, and, unlike many other animals have seen, he could not be coaxed into talk ing it. If he took a drink of milk, all right; but if he once turned up his nose at it. one might just as we'll let him alone, for he wouldn't touch an- other drop if it was kept in front of him all day. He became so thin and weak that he seemed in constant dan ger of falling over his own shadow. Why he didn't die, no one has yet ex- plained; but perhaps it was because about this time he began to nibble a few blades of grass-enough. probably, to keep the spark of life in his skinny little body. Gradually, he paid more and more attention to grass. and be- fore long he was busy almost the whole day long. sauntering about the garden and along the roadsides, pick ing out the choicest bits he could find.

Lives Without Speaking or Eating.

WASHINGTON, O.. Sept 11.-Out at the Fsyette County infirmary there is a twenty-year-old man of sound mind who has never spoken a word, never moved a limb. and without the aid of a nurse has never swallowed a morsel of food. as he has no palate. He is in reality a dead man alive. and when actual death finally comes to this un- fortunate being the transformation will he SO slight as to be scarcely per ceptible. His name is Roy McElwain. and he has been an inmate of the in- frmary for the past fourteen years. He is an heir to a large estate.

ing her husband in such comfortable quarters.
 Without waiting to inform the own CT who really ruled his roost, the Don na Silva bought the bird, and quickly drove home with it seated, much scared, beside her. As she watched him strutting among her poultry, she felt more satisfied than ever that her husbands spirit lay behind his gay plumage. And the way all the hens in the roost stood round in adoring groups was typical of Pedro. She re- membered how everyone used to ad- mire him-his dancing. his gallant bearing, and courtly manners. There was not the slightest doubt that the bird possessed his spirit.
 When the Donna Silva's relatives heard of the bird they were naturally very indignant. In vain they pointed out that her doings would certainly lead to the asylum; tho Donna Silva only laughed, and explained that she was acting quite consistently with her beliefs. Moreover. to show that she would brook no influence, she ordered a magnificent house to be built for the bird. and named him Pedro, after her husband.
 About three months ago the old lady died. Then her relatives. who had comforted themselves that the bird was not a human being found that they were not much better oI than If it had been. For in her will the Donna left all her riches. her si1- yer, rare paintings. iewels-eveTy- thing to Pedro. the rooster in the gar den.
 Poor Pedro did not long enjoy his wealth For, ten minutes after the viii had been read. the exasperatsd relatives of the old lady burst into his fine house, and promptly twisted his seek

CANAL FOOD CHARGES
Shonts Admits Truth of De-
 feated Bidders Claim.
WHY MARKELL WAS GIVEN CONTRACT
His Forty Years of Experience In That Line of Work Entitled Him to 1t, Says Chairman of Isth-
 miuu Commission.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11-Theodore P. Shonts admitted the truth of one of the charges made by Hudgins & Du- mar, bidders on the contract to feed Panama canal employees, that sam pie copy of a menu they included in their bid for the commissary conces- sions was given to the successful bid der. J. E. Market of Omaha, by his au- thority.
 Concerning the talk about collu- sion," said Chairman Shonts, T will say that if Mir. Market put in his writ ten offer the exact weekly menu that the other bidders put in theirs, that is exactly what he should have done. l told Mir. Ross, our purchasing agent, that it would be well for him to get suggestions from all the bidders and put the specifications in the written offers as much alike as possible, so that a fair comparison of the bids could be made"
 The estimate by Hudgins & Dumar that the contract for the commissary work along the canal would be worth S50,0O0OO0 for the five years term is too high, Mir. Shonts thinks, as many of the canal employees will live in houses to be built along the canal in stead of in the commissary hotels and camps.
 "I gave J. E. Markel the contract, 1t is true, without any advertising in ad- vance," added Commissioner Shonts. "It was not a government matter that required any adv@tising, but was a Panama railroad contract. I made common sense selection and the best I could make. There may not have been much red tape in sight, but it was absolutely necessary for me to do something in a great hurry to get de- cent commissary service along the ca- nal. MT. Stephens, down in the isth- mus, was daily asking us to send his men food.
 "when found one bid so much low CT than what seemed to me possible I did write a letter, just as Hudgins & Dumar say, calling attention to some apparent misunderstanding on their part. I wrote a letter worded almost the same to all the bidders. The low bid was amended, and the bidders who are now objecting thanked me and ad- mitted the misapprehension under which I thought they were laboring. The contract was then let after the figures, the experience of the bidders and the facilities they had were all considered.
 "For instance, J. E. Markel, the sue cessful bidder. has been in the com. missary business for forty years. He holds contracts for the commissary trains along the line of the Illinois Cen tral, Kansas City Southern and other roads. He has hundreds of men ready to send to the isthmus. They are all trained men. If he keeps corps there a few months and the climate so ener- yates them that they have to come back he has a new corps ready.
 "Hudgins & Dumar, who had the commisssry contract for Ellis island, did we'll with it. But this isthmus con tract is a different proposition. I thought Market could swing 1t better than any one else. He got the con- tract"
