An Australian millionaire. Mr.. James
Tyson, left behind him when be died
q fortune Of fS,000,0O0. One Of the
many stories concerning him tells how
on one occasion he was a passenger
on a Queensland coasting steamer. AS
usual, when travelling he declined to
undress at night and lay In his bunk
fully clothed, boots and oil. He had
taken thither with him. moreover,
three loaves Of bread upon which to
subsist for ~forty-eight hours in order
to save the expense Of meals. The stew
ards complained TO the purser OF i4he
crumbs which the m~lllionaire's meth
DDS caused in the cabin. But nothing
would induce Tyson to eat his leaves
elsewhere than In his bunk. Great was
his rage when at the end OF the voyage
he was charged not only full rate. but
on~e-fourth extra for having taken his
meals in his cabin"

sheep raisers have had hard luck with
the prosperity, and while they have
made a good deal of money during the
past years since the prices OF wool
advanced, they have had heavy losses
among the sheep on account OF
drouths and storms. But this year has
opened up very promisingly to our
sheep raisers. The lamb crop this
season will break all records. Besides
this We have received the highest
price this spring for our wool. This
alone Is bound to make big money
