PROFIT IN SHEEP.


A flock of SO to 100 sheep, as a
rule. will prove profitable on the
tarm. Good sheep should average
trcm s 10 IL pounds of wool each and,
with the price at rs to "a cents a
pound, the receipts from that source
would BE- 81 to SO head. This will
pay for the keep and the returns
from the sale Of lambs would be

lambs should be saved from a flock
of fifty ewes, and these, at So to

worth while.
A further benefit derived from a

destroy shrubs and weeds, which they

CAUGHT on q FIshhook.

Who that has fished has escaped
getting fishhook caught in thumb
or finger? There is nothing more
painful and more difficult to relieve
than this simple little incident The
first impulse Of the fisher man or
woman Is to try to remove the hook
the way It got caught In the fish, and
the more 1t is pushed back to release
the tip the more 1t cuts and hurts the
flesh. On account Of the peculiar
shape OF fishhook 1t is necessary to
push 1t all the way through, IL tho
hook Is one of those without the loop
or eye at the upper end, or else 1t
must be pushed through until the
tip of the hook is cleared, and then
a pair of tweezers will serve TO snap
the metal and let the hook be taken
out of the flesh. Sometimes good
sized knife will do the hook cutting
II tweeZers are not handy. The
wound made by the hook should be
thoroughly cleansed with hot water
and perhaps some dislnfectant, after
which 1t should be covered with a
soothing ointment and then carefully
bound with lint or a bandage.-New

The "womar From EnoIsnd.v

One OF tho most curious myths Of the
middle ages, singularly false and flagi-

that 1t eventually attained general be-
lief, was the story Of Pope JOAN" tho
woman pope who was supposed to
have sat In st. Peters chair about
midway Of the ninth century. For
200 years In the great cathedral at
Siena, Italy, along with the busts Of
all the other popes, there stood bust
Of this mythical female bearing upon
1t the Inscription, John VIII, Wo-
man From England" This bust was
put In its place by ecclesiastical au-
thorities in tho year 400. without pro-
test from any source, and In pursu-
ance of the universal popular belief
that the eighth John had indeed been

OFFICER
PatroIman Miller Injured in Struggle
with n. MadrigaI-captive Will
Be Examined by Insanity
Commission

After a desperate fight with man
who is thought to be insane, in front OF
the building at 320 South Alameda street
late Thursday night, Patrolman Miller
succeeded in capturing him and booking
him at the police station.
At the Jail the prisoner gave the name
of H. Madrigal, but it is t.-ougnt py
the officers it is an assumed one.
The man was found by the patrolman
trying to force his way into the building
where the fight occurred. Miller ap-
preached from behind and ordered MIN
to throw up his hands. Instead OF doing
SO the suspected robber drew a heavy
knife from his belt and sprang at tne
officer. Miller attempted to grapple with
the enraged man, but the knife tore
through his vest, cutting off four buttons
and cutting severe cash in his breast.
A second slash of the knife cut Mlier
knee. but he succeeded in wrestling the
weapon from the man and placing the
handouts on him.
When taken to the station cnarge OF
grand larceny was placed against the
man. as several stolen articles were found
in his possession.
1t is improbable the charge will ever
be forced, as physicians say the prisoner
is undoubtedly insane, and he VIII De

OF DROWNED CAPTAIN
Many Desire Possessions of a. E
Wolff, but Articles viii Not Be
Sold Until Proof of Death
Is Received

Following the prolonged absence of
Capt. A. E. Wolff, owner of the Lurline
boat house at San Pedro, who is believed
to have been drowned several nights ago
in the harbor of the local town, num-
ber of men have asked Public Admins
traitor Frank Bryson if they could pur-
chase the boats and paraphernaliao OF the
late captain.
They were told that until it is proven
beyond question that the absent captain
is dead his estate will remain as 1t was
when he disappeared.
According to old seamen if the captain
has perished 1t is not likely his body will
be washed ashore. During the night he
was alleged to have drowned there was
a heavy eastern current, which washed
away from shore every movable object.
If the body does not come ashore she
estate will remain in the hands of the
public administrator for the next seven
years, as, according to the law, man
who cannot be found is not considered
dead until that period of time has elapsed.
