A Bio Wool Sale.

One OF the largest wool deals of the
year has just been closed by the Sa.
lado Livestock company with Il. J..
Mclean & Company OF Denver and OF
Santa Fe, says the New Mexican.
The clip Of the SaladO company is
considered the finest In the territory,
and perhaps in the southwest, and
there Is always considerable compe-
tition among buyers to secure 1t. the
wool fetching top notch prices. II. j.
Mclean X Co. secured the clip not
only for this year, but also have con-
tracted ahead for the clip next year
and for the lambs this spring, which
are especially choice and of high
grade. The Salado Livestock COM
pany's home ranch Is In Guadalupe
county, eighteen miles east of Pasture,
n station on the FL Paso n Northeast
ern railway. 1t has water rights for
thirty miles along the Salado river
and commands IA fine range thirty
miles square. A number of springs OF
good water and voluminous flow are
on the range. Wool buyers who have
visited nearly every ranch In tho
southwest declare 1t to be the finest
home ranch In the United States.
The lamb crop this year amounted to
almost one hundred per cent. and the
Governor and Mrs. Otero and Secre-
tary and Mrs, Reynolds are tho stock
holders OF the company.

A Typical Whitman Story.

Here is an incident which, il not
true, is good enough to be. The
scene was Fowler & Wells Office in
New York, where believers in phre-
nology went to have their bumps
examined. Whitman has derided
bumps in the Eagle, yet in his
poems he shows half belief in the
go called science, and he familiarly
haunted the little shop with its
charts, its busts and its cranks. One
day friend found Whitman there
in his SLOUGH hat, corduroy trou-
sers, black silk tie and flannel shirt,
leaning against one of the book
counters and looking with a sort OF
infantile surprise and perplexity aft
er figure that had just stamped
out in tempest of wrath. "What's
the matter, Whitman" asked the
newcomer. .......
Walt replied: 'Did you notice
that fellow who passed you at the
door? Well, he was fool enough to
lend me $500, and now he is darned
fool enough to think l can pay it. "

Didn't Eat Pork.

It happened in a crowded railway
carriage. A very fat and bump:
tious man was making q general
nuisance of himself to the other &C.
cupants of the carriage, explaining
in loud voice his cuteness and sue,
cess in most things. Some of the
people in the carriage smiled pity
ingly, some merely looked bored,
but one solemn individual eyed the
fat boaster with stony and immov-
able stare. The latter at last be-
came uneasy under this unwinkin2
scrutiny and, turning to the man
said blusteringly:
"Well, what yer looking at me
like that for? Want to eat me?"

engaged in the delccta0Ie occupa

joyment of hearing that bad tenn

he quoted a certain English newspa-
per as authority for his assertion.
A burly red faced man in the au'
dience, who had interrupted him
once or twice before, cried out in
heavy bass voice:

Butler paused in his remarks, and
after the silence had become i'm
pressive he walked to the center OF
the stage and, pointing the forefn'
ger of his right hand at the offend,
er, said, slowly and emphatically:
