Sheep Follow Leader to Death.

THE most striking example of fol-
lowing a leader into the jaws of death
l gel saw took place in Kent county
last week." said q Kent county farmer.
"Ex-Sherif Edward J.. Plummer," he
continued, "had a flock of seventeen
sheep. which, for some upaccountable
reason, determined to go from one pas
ture to another. To make the journey
1t was necessary to cross the creek on
the ice. Sure enough. the old buck OF
the flock walked cautiously out on the
weakened ice. When he was about
midstream it gave way and he plunged
in.
"The other sheep, instead of return.
ing to the shore, which they could have
done, deliberately and, as the lawyers
would put it, with malice afore-
thought walked into the hole in the
ice made by their leader and were
drowned. Nothing but sheep would
have ever been fool enough to be gull
ty of such a performance. There vas
possibly some excuse for the ~foolhardy
old buck. but l can think Of no extenu-
ating circumstances In the case of the
others. Baltimore Herald.

STUDYING THE COYOTE.

The department of agriculture has
been making a study of the coyote and
comes to the conclusion that he is a
very treacherous, elusive, eyasive and
generally hard-to exterminate animal.
The coyote does not banker after
strychnine and it is hard to get him to
eat meat with poison on it. If the meat
is buried, however, Mr.. Coyote is in
clined to dig it up and eat it. He wants
to steal something and prefers to dig
IL necessary to carry out his inclina-
ton in this direction. The coyote
lives on other things than young
lambs and calves, as he occasionally
captures . jackrabbit or a prairie dog.
The report says:
Various methods of dealing with
the pest have been in vogue since coy
otAe arst began to like mutton. Poison
has probably killed the greatest mum

Of Mexico has almost destroyed some

Notwithstanding the fact that the
president Is a bold, intrepid hunter, the
people of America feel a little easier
now that he is down out of the noun
tains. 1t is dangerous hunting bears,
ne matter how fearless and sure the
hunter may be-. Old hunters say bears
usually u the way they are headed
and quite frequently there are no trees
at hand for the hunters to seek safety
in. And then, bears climb trees when
they happen to be headed toward the
hunter and if he has not mad the fore
sight to take his gun up with him, his
position is rendered very uncomforta-
BILE, to say the least. Bears are no re.
specters of persons. They would just

him up a tree as any other man. One
president Is very stubborn about run.
ming, however, and bears often find
that it is better for them to take to the
trees than to try n force him.

drove proudly through the town.
But he always drove alone. He
never had any one with him. So, one
day, the priest of the parish said:
"'Why, my good man, do you al

Why do you never take any of your

Two Kitchen Comforts.

1 find my two best kitchen friends
are a high stool and a camp chair;
cost 81. The high stool saves strength
and rests the feet when employed in
the ceaseless round Of washing
dishes. So many ONE stand to
Peel potatoes or apples. while I find
it a great pleasure to sit in my camp
chair and lean back. It Is very light
and can be easily lifted to the handi-
est place in the kitchen or carried to
the open air. Then. again, l sit in my
camp chair by my blue flame when
frying fritters or doing the many
things which need almost constant at
tention. Outlines l can have paper,

Growing Old.

And I may take mine ease at last;
Quiet and peace my friends shall be.

The noontide shadows on the lawn.

Sweet home, where loves dear blossoms

All, what may be more fair than these
The hungry heart Of man to please?
Here now shall end ambitions flight,
The toll OF youth, strong manhood's fight;
Long years the fruit of these l sought;
The world hath now Its tribute brought,
Come. joy of life. with me abide,
MY souls desire Is satisfied.
My son, my son, 1t may not be,
Thine Is a larger destiny;
More vast than all this world can give
Thy lot. when thou shalt fully live.
Within thy soul a spark of fire
I hid, which shall. with new desire,
Flame forth when l thine eyes unsea1.
Heavens undreamed q%uestings to reveal
Thou art not old! Thou hast outworn
The apparel which thy soul hath borne;
1t hampers thee: when I shall give
New raiment, thou more free shalt live;
New-tledged thy spirit shall aspire
To larger flights, nor ever tire.
Too highborn then to sit at ease
Where fading earthly treasures please;
Couldst thou but know toward what they

EARL OF LDEMYJJ
II REMARKABLE MN
Though Almost Nono-
genarian He Is
Most Active.
Speeches in House
Of Lords Still
Fiery.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, April 29.-One Of the most
remarkable men in the House of Lords
is the venerable Earl of Wemyss, who
caused no little amusement the other
day by sitting down on his own silk
tile at the conclusion of a fiery speech
on the evils of Sunday trading. 1t re-
called more sensational performance
in the same line when the Earl
crushed another hat hat that DID not
belong to him, and thereby acquired
the distinction of being the only man
who had ever struck his sovereign.
II occurred during a debate in the
House of Lords when the Earl was
making a vehement harangue in favor
of militia ballot. The King, then the
Prince of Wales. chanced to be occupy
ing a seat in front of him. Emphasiz-
ing one of his points with a magnificent
gesture. the Jealous peer brought his
clenched fist down hard on the royal
hat, bonneting his future ruler most
effectively 1t was characteristic OF the
Earl that he did not allow the unto
ward incident to disturb the thread OF
his discourse, postponing his apologies
to a more convenient season. But his
Royal Highness displayed great agil-
ity in getting out of range.
A PROPHET OF EVIL.
Though sc years old last August,
Lord Wemyss shows no signs of men
tai decrepitude. Tall, lean, willowy,
burning with the fire Of an unquench-
able enthusiasm, gaunt and rugged in
his oratory, his silvery locks flying
wildly about his ears, the keen fea-
lures sharpened by time and periodical
conflict, he would pass for some war
scanned Scottis', chieftain, hero of a
score of tales of border fray. He is a
prophet of woe-a modern Jeremiah
whose voice is filed with lamentations.
He believes conscientiously that Eng
land is following in the footsteps of
Rome and Fastening to the end. Ever
since he entered public life he has
preached a doctrine of national pessi-
mism. The times TO him have been al

METHOD OF FORECASTTNG
TO BE CHANGED TOMORROW

The local branch of the Weather
Bureau has received instructions from
Chief Moore at Washington TO begin
May ! with the new designations of
localities in California in the making
Of forecasts. The change is the SUP
stitution of the various sections, val
ley, nDuntain. bay, foothills and coast,
for the former subdivisions, Northern
and Southern California.
Professor McAdie oof the Weather
Bureau said yesterday that in this
State only is such a designation used
and thus the forecasts of California
viii have q unique appearance ON the
records Of the Weather Bureau. The
anticipated change viii not cause the
reports from various parts of the State
or the official maps TO be changed, but
hereafter such reports sent out in
forecast only VIII receive Topographic
cal designation.
The forecasts will be unique from
the additional fact that they will be
the first in which no ATTITUDES are
designated The forecaster is also
given an opportunity to take advantage
OF any change ins the special areas and
alter the forecasts accordingly.
