A Hard Task.

A Chicago man tells Of resident o.

in one venture after another. At last
however, he made & large sum o.
money by means Of an invention in
car wheels; and very soon thereafter
his family, consisting of his wife and
two young daughters, were to be seer
taking their daily outing in a motor
car. One day the three were being
driven rapidly through the park, while
a look of painful self-consciousness
Overspread the features of the in
ventor's wife, as she sat bolt upright
locking straight before her. Nov.
ma came in clear tones from one OF
the daughters, whose keen face was
alive with enjoyment, now, ma, can't

The Majestic Vaudeville Com
pany made its second appearance
before another large sized audience
in rhis city last Tuesday evening,
and in some respects was superior
to the performance given upon the
occasion of its first visit. There
was an absence of anything border
ing upon vulgarity, which was ap-
ID eciated by the audience. The
music and songs we're good and
the Juggling by Donnely unusually
clever. The failure of new films 10
arrive for use in the k1nodrome
made it necessary to repeat those
shown the previous week, which
was a disappointment The man
agement reported the new ones
damaged in shipment but promise
new and interesting ones for next
Tuesday night. The show as a
whole was good and should be en-
Outraged. We would suggest how
ever. to the management; that Sis,
or as near thereto as possible, is the
desirable time for the curtain to
rise, and not 8:45, and an observance
of this point will not be lost on Ian
caster audiences.

Grind Their own Grain
They War on Each other.

What a pugnacious community it is
that inhabits the sea! All the crea-
lures in it live on each. other, and the
whole extent of that vast body OF
water is a slaughter house, where the
strong prey on the weak constantly.
There is no other way for them to
sustain life, but doesn't it seem queer
that nature should have ordained such
a state of things?

KEEPING SHEEP.
The Farmers Flock Can Be Maintained
With Small Expense.

The Farmers Flock Can Be Maintained
With Small Expense.
In an address before Ontario farm
ers in regard to success with sheep on
the farm, Professor Day said in part:
1 do not think it would be wise for
every man to keep sheep, for the rea-
son that In order to be successful with
any class of animals a man must have
love for them, and If a man does not
like sheep he would not be likely 20
make a success Of them. There are
several things about the sheep, how
ever, which make them especially well
adapted to occupy place on almost
any farm.
Sheep will eat a great many kinds
of weeds which other animals will not
touch. This makes them especially
valuable about a farm as a sort of
scavenger.
They will live on very poor pasture,
where many other animals would
starve Their activity enables them to
travel long distances in search of their
food, and the formation of their mouths
is such that they canTbite very closely
to the ground, enabling them to gather
a living from the poorest soils.
Cheap Shelter.
Sheep require very inexpensive build
ings Almost any sort of building will
answer the purpose so long as it pro-
tects them from storms in the rough
est weather and is reasonably dry and
free from drafts. There is no other
farm animal for which cheaper build
ings are required.
There is comparatively little labor
involved in taking care of a flock of
sheep. 1 do not know of any animal
that requires less labor in its feeding
and management.
Grind Their Own Grain
They grind their own grain, which
is another factor which adds to the
cheapness of their maintenance. They
are the best grain grinders which we
have, and the weed seeds consumed by
sheep are never known to grow after
ward This is not true Of other farm
animals
