Expi. es Suddenly In the Courthouse
at Troy Saturday While Pleading a
Case.
Troy, n. c., July 13.-The sud-
den death of Col. Allen Jordan in
the court house at IL o'clock this
morning cast gloom over the en-
tire town and community. When
the summons came he was at his
post of duty, representing the State
in a criminal prosecution. In the
midst of his speech addressing the
court in his clients behalf, he ex-
pired.
He was probably the oldest prac-
ticing attorney in North Carolina,
having been in the active practice
for more than half century. He
was IS years old and is survived by
one brother, Rev. James Jordan, of
Franklinville, and one daughter,
Mrs. I. M. Deaton, of Raleigh. He
was liberal and generous and, while
he never accumulated great deal of
this worlds goods, yet for long
time he maintained an enviable
reputation as a criminal lawyer In
this section of the State. He was a
life long Republican and for many
years was the leading Republican
politician in this section of North
Carolina. He represented Montgom-
cry County in the General Assembly
from 1926, 1874, 1888
He was also mem Ger of the Consti
tutional Convention of 1868.

GREAT DEMAND FOR EWES.
Higher Prices Being Realized for
Good Stock.

Never in the history of the sheep
business at Chicago has the demand
for breeding ewes been as strong as
this year and never before were so
many shipped out, says Chicago Live.
stock World. Buyers who are not able
to get as many as they wanted here
have gone to the range country and
bought them direct from the ranch
men. Under the pressure of such a
keen demand values have advanced
very noticeably and stand at a re-
markably high level. That fact is not
discouraging feature, however. for a
good eve at present prices produces
lamb equal to. her own value and
will yield enough wool to pay for her
keep. On this basis ewes are a good
investment and many people are be-
ginning to recognize it. The fact that
more ewes are being bought by the
farmers in the corn belt does not sig.
nifty that there will be a surplus of
sheep raised, for the more they buy
the more the crop on the range is cut
down. 1t is just matter of trans
ferring ownership. With the range
crop being marketed closer than usual
and the demand for mutton increasing,
the probabilities are that prices will
be as high next year as they are now.

Cremation of the Dead.

Cremation is one of the most an
cient methods of disposing Of the dead.
Before the beginning of the Christian
era, cremation prevailed among all
civilized nations, except the Jews, Chi
nese and Egyptians. Later, however,
this form gave way to earth burial.
Cremation has had a revival during
the last few years, and from one Gre
matory in existence in 1880, there
we're over so in 1890, and since then
others have been added to the list
each year. Cremation is common in
Japan, where Al per cent. Of the dead
are incinerated. The first crematory
in the United States was built at
Washington, Pa, in 1876, by DR.. LIE
Moyne, and the first incineration there
was that of the body of Baron de
Palm, which took place in December
of the same year. This was the only
crematory in the United States until

CURE FOR GOAT DYSPEPSIA.

Just as opium affects a Chinaman

OF goat mascots in the United States

a bluejacket of the battleship Ohio to
friends who were admiring Buckeye,
the vessels little California goat mas
cot.
THE first thing a goat does after he
gets aboard is to I'LL himself up with
red paint, with little white lead for
dessert. The result is the total dis
ruption of his digestion, and soon
what had been a fat, frolicsome little
kid becomes a morose, lean, and dys-
peptic old goat. Loads of schemes
have been tried by the boys to de-
stroy Williams appetite for paint, but
they never hit it once till We did
What did We do? Well, seem as it's
you, I'll let you in on the secret.
When Buckeye was transferred to
US from the Chicago of the Pacific
feet, just before We leaves for Manila
two years ago. We puts before him a
bowl of red paint. But there was
something in the mixture besides
paint We had poured half a glass Of
pure ammonia into the paint
The minute the goat saw that
paint he went crazy with JOY. With
one bound, he was on it. Without
waiting to inspect the mixture he
stuck his nose into it, and then some
thin happened. That goat began to
sneeze. For three hours he kept it
up, and he never forgot the dose that
caused it. From that day to this he
has never tasted paint. Ammonia
cured him, and that's why he's the
only healthy goat in the navy"

BALANCING IAE HORSE.
How the Shooting Must Be Exactly
Done. ~ sf.

A great many people don't know
what a man means when he says he
wants THAT horse balanced up so that
he can travel" Balancing horse
means a;whole lot He must be bal
anced as perfectly as a pair of mer-
chants scales. II the blacksmith, as
q horseshoer, would take care to get
the inside Of the foot the same height
as the outside, and get the shoe the
right length, there is no trouble. Some
smiths, says the Montreal Herald, will
put on a shoe one-half inch too short,
and II the animal goes lame he doesn't
know what's the matter. Some horses
will wear shorter shoe than others
because of the difference in the de-
grees in the shape of the hoof. Some
want a long toe and some a short
one. Therefore there will be a diff.
ference Of 40 to Al degrees. and on a
short toe you will find that the horse
will stand straighter; that is, the up
per pastern joint will come more d.
rectly over the foot. With a long
toe you will find that the upper past
ern joint will drop back more or less.
An easy way to get the length of the
shoe you want is to take square and
place it on the floor. Let the tongue
OF the square come to the center OF
the pastern Joint and then see how
many inches you have from the toe
to the heel. II you follow this rule
you will have fewer lame horses.
Another authority asks these peril
nent questions: Does the horses hoof
fully cover the entire lower border of
the wall, or is 1t too narrow or fitted
so full on the inside that it has given
rise to interfering, or has the shoe
been nailed on crooked, or has it be-
come loose and shifted? Is 1t too
short or so wide at the ends OF the
branches as not to support the but.
tresses of the hoof? Does the shoe
correspond with the form of the hoof?
Are the nails distributed so as to in.
terfere as little as possible with the
expansion of the quarters? Are there
too many? Are they too large? These
are points the horse owner should as.
certain in order that any faults OBJ.
served may be corrected.
