Katie: Sheep Dog
Bv EDWIN L. SABIN

AIINE thousand feet up on a Colorado mesa
IN was where | met Katie the sheep dog.
While | was chatting with her master, and
she peacefully dozed. a party of sheep de
cided that they would start out exploring.
The herder saw and stood up. Hil' he
shouted Where You going' You'd better
turn back there
The band stopped short and gazed at him.
They plainly hesitated. Then the old eve
which was leading gave defiant shake OF her
head whereupon. followed by the Others, she
iTnpudently moved on.
Katie, SAID the herder softly do You
see those sheep, and what they're doIngF Go
after them, Katie. Turn them back. Show
them what what.
Away sped Katie, with all her might, straight
for the errant band; and IN the time that II
takes for the telling she had launched herself
IN front of the band The very sound OF her,
crashing through the brush, had made them
stop.-thev suspected what was about to hap
pen. Then. at first glimpse of her, in a panic
they wheeled like = cavalry squad and rushed
for the main herd. Across their heels darted
Katie. back and forth. One little lamb must
have lost its wits. for II insisted upon running
in the wrong direction. Katie made after 1t.
She tried to turn it right but 1t was as
obstinate as any pig: until finally. eXasperated,
Katie seized II bv the nape OF the neck and
gave a good MP Then Katie looked back at us
The herder raised high his right arm. as
signal for her to cease. Then he brought his
arm down and briSkly slapped his thigh.
Katie understood

Christmas day was very generally observed in Forrest City as day of rest and recreation. Nearly all Of the stores, including the saloons. were closed. or partially So at least. and the tired clerks and proprietors enjoyed an extra day of rest. which they so richly deserved after the busiest and hardest months work in the history Of this city.
 The day passed away quietly, and bat for the accidental shooting of Mrs. McCarty. particulars of which ap- pear elsewhere in this paper with out incident. so far as Ne have learned.
 \ couple Of itinerant bears with their keepers three men Of foreign extraction passed through the city. and furnished little amusement and variation to the quiet monotony Of a holiday in towns of this size The bears pulled of wrestling match, climed telegraph pole, and indQlged in bottle Of beer or two. greatly to the amusement ofa large crowd of in- terested spectators.
 The small boy with the fireworks was considerably in evidence. judging from the many deafening reports, and some older persons took advantage of the similarity 8f noises to discharge various sized weapons. which il l, against the law either to carry or dis charge within the city limits. one result of this poetic license was the unfortunate shooting 8f Mrs. McCar- ". referred to above. and which may resaftin her death.

SHUN "HOODOO DESKS"

until radical changes in the person.
mel of the Office cause it's reputation
to be forgotten.
Perhaps the most conspicuous case
of hoodoo desk in any one Of the
Washington executive departments
was that in which a succession OF
misfortunes came to private secretar
les of one of the assistant secretaries
Several deaths and other misfortunes
made the place dreaded.
But there are other hoodoos in
Washington. Some years ago door.
keepers post in the war department
building came under the ban and was
source of considerable annoyance
to officials.
At this particular door the first mis-.
fortune was death, the second dis.
missal; the third holder Of the post
lost his wife by death and finally fell
and broke limb, and the fourth ap.
pointee in succession lost a child and
then resigned. This resignation kept
the place vacant for time, as no one
could be induced to take 1t. The place
had to be filed by calling on the civil
service commission for some one from
the outside.

A SERIES of misfortunea involving
"A dismissals, designations and
deaths in the great executive depart
ments In Washington often develops
what is known as the "hoodoo desk"
A desk comes under suspicion after a
dismissal or two from the service or
after several transfers or resigna-
tions, and If there should occur sever
al deaths among the occupants of the
desk In the course of a year or two
1t is designated as the hoodooed desk
and no one IN that room cares to do
clerical work at 1t. In room filled
with clerks, the hoodoo desk is easi-
ly recognized. for it is most generally
occupied with the surplus books and
general litter of the daily routine
work.
The desk may remain unoccupied
sometimes for months, until some new
clerk comes into the room and is as
signed to 1t, provided there is no
other vacant desk in the room. Bu-
reau officials generally avoid assign
ing new clerk to the hoodoo desk,
