DESERT SHEEP HERDERs.
Their Lonely, Dreary Life Tends to
Drive Them Crazy.

Their Lonely, Dreary Life Tends to
Drive Them Crazy.
Do you realize what it means to
watch 5000 sheep alone in the desert?
You have read weird, grewsome stories
Of the horror of the solitary lighthouse
keepers life, but compared to the days
of the Mexican shepherd those Of the
average keeper of the light are filed
with gayety and noise. Even with
their one or two dogs the shepherds
often 60 insane, and were it not for the
company Of their shaggy collies the
lunacy among them would rise to an
almost incredible percentage, If we are
to believe those who have followed the
sheep in the desert and therefore may
be supposed to know.
Once in old Santa Fe, N. NJ, met a
man who for twelve years had follow
ed the sheep. His work was done. All
day long he sat in q chair In the rear
of a little dobe store, crouched over,
gibbering to himself, bleating-an idiot.
He still saw his sheep swaying like a
great white wave among the sage
brush, and ever in his ears sounded the
killing monotone Of their bleats. One
boy, though fifteen years Of age, is
mentally no further advanced than the
average child Of five. His father is a
shepherd, his mother died when he was
four years old, and his father took him
out upon the range. All his life has
hn III G
with them today.
How is it possible then, you ask, that
men are to be found willing to watch
them? 1t is very easy. Sheep herding
is lazy job at best, and the "greaser"
is the LATEST creature on earth. For $40
a month he is willing to sit in the sand
and listen to the never ending bleating
until. the little mind he has gives way
and they fetch him in from the range
insane. He is glad to take the chance
for $40 a month.
The greaser is not the only shepherd
in the west. On the vast ranges Of Ne
vada and Wyoming you may run across
an occasional college man tending the
sheep. Once, indeed, college professor,
Ill of consumption, undertook to follow
5000 bleaters for the summer. In au-
tumn they found him insane, on his
hands and knees among the sheep,
bleating with them. Day after day his
eyes behold only brilliant turquoise
sky, in which hangs sun Of brass; an
ocean sweep Of sage fiecked sand and
slowly moving, compact mass OF
sheep His ears hear no sound save the
steady "Baa, baa" day and night, af-
fecting him as the Chinese criminal Of
ancient days was affected by the regu-
lar tap. tap Of hidden drum.
And yet so long as the desert contin-
ues to provide food for the "bleaters"
so long will shepherds go mad among
the f1ocks, and for ten years the deserts
greatest value to man has been the
food it has offered the sheep. nor yet is
the store depleted.-Pilgrim.

TALES AND ENDS.

THE BATTLE FOR EXISTENCE.

poor widow working at a sewing machine.
hemming away and running up seams.
In her work she's full of persistence;
She tolls long hours and gets little sleep,
In fact some times it is only peep.
She has burdens and sorrows sufficient to keep
One out of the battle for existence.
She has tots too small to go out to work.
And others still older. who idieness shirk.
For poverty offers no resistance.
It's work, work till far in the night.
With slim. poor salary always in sight
The bosses make the money and fly high their
kites
In the battle for existence
But some day or other the tables will turn,
The rich under pressure will wrisgle and squirm
Until they offer some assistance.
The rich amt happy by many mile.
With all their wealth. society and style,
1t takes time and labor to balance their pile,
In the battle for existence.
When it comes to happiness it's easy to show
There's no one SO happy as the negro.
The following is given for instance:
To worry in life they haven't the brains.
They have no idea of losses or gains.
For their future welfare they take no pains.
In the battle for existence.
It's hard to be ground right down to the earth.
But after all it's what we're worth
That shows our independence.
To work and labor is all our lot.
Makes no difference what we got.
It's just as likely as likely as not.
We hustle in the battle for existence.
The best thing to do is to keep up the hustle,
Whether working with brains or working with
muscle
We all have to suffer endurance.
But day is coming when reward Is sure
Whether we're rulin' in wealth or awfully poor.
Just dues will knock upon your door.
In the battle for existence.

1t is just such complaint as Doctor
Salmon's that was the subject of pro-
nunciamento by an influential congress
man the other day. Congress has gotten
very tired of making lump appropria-
tions for the departments or of having
the heads of departments come before
the appropriations committee and coolly
present claim for a big deficit expect
ing that Congress will meet it. Accord
ing to DIR. Salmon's own showing the
deficit in one bureau of one department
is going to amount to $S4,o 900 by the end
of the year. A few bureaus doing this
would soon run the aggregate of deficits
MP to the total of the Treasury deficit for
the year. 1t is stated that there is going
TO be big fight over the appropriation
bills at the coming session and such a
treatment as that made by DIR. Salmon is
sure to add fuel to the fame.

A GREAT CHANGE IN THE BRAzos
That May Mean Great Things 10 the
Brasos Bottom Land Owners.

Mr.. ALI. +. Wilson has been &C.
quainted with the Brazos river all
his life. He told the Eagle rep
resentative yesterday that he had
a good word to say for the old
Brazos-that it acts differently
now from lite conduct heretofore
for many years.
~ never saw the river run so
fast before" said Mr.. Wilson, "and
/ believe that the enormous flood
Of water that fell along the river
and its tributaries last week would
in the past have caused a great
overflow, but this time the river
carried it off and the usual disas.
ter was averted. "
"To what do you attribute the
change in the habits Of the
stream" Mr.. Wilson was asked.
al cannot attribute it to any
thing else than the snagging and
improvement in the bed of the
strea m from Old Washington
SOUTH" said Mr.. Wilson. He went
on to say that he did not know
that this was the cause of the river
water running down faster, but was
inclined, for lack of other cause, to
believe that this is the reason.
Mr.. Coulter and other planters
on the river think that the inn
provement Of The lower Brazos by
the government engineers has
caused this radical change in the
rivers habits, and there can be
little doubt that such IL the case.
The result is a great boon to the
land owners on the river, and 10
the business interests of the entire
contiguous country as well
The further progress of the i'm.
pavement higher up the stream
will still further reduce the tend
ency of the river to overflow its
banks, and there is no doubt that
the time is coming when the Oft
recurring disasters from Brazos
overilows may be classed as a thing
of the past.
