II there has been an uneven distribu-
ton Of grain in feed troughs. II the
loss Of wool is limited to three or four
and the rest are contented, there need
be NO alarm, but If there are indica-
lions Of general uneasiness among the
sheep. an inspector should be con-
suited.
Brlshy pasture should not be feared
for sheep. Nearly all range sheep are
In brush constantly. without showing
any Ill effects Of 1t.
In Colorado. self-feeders are very
popular In feeding hay to sheep. A
self-feeder saves time and feed. Al
though the representation given here
may involve little more outlay for
material than some hay racks, 1t IL
counted very economical, because 1t
prevents much waste accompanying
the use Of most devices while sheep
arc eating. When panels are used
usually one linear foot per sheep is
allowed. With this feeder four inches
per sheep is ample space.

Hints for Those Who Embroldsr.
Use . spool for marking scallops.
Take spool and place 1t on the ma
terial to be marked and mark with
pencil half way around the spool.
then move the spool little and mark
half way around again. Continue In
this way until the entire edge Of the
material IL marked. Any sized seal
lops can be made by using larger or
smaller spools. When making large
scallops. which you wish to pad we'll.
use ordinary candle wick instead Of
spending the time. labor, and thread
to pad It. In padding initials or mono
grams OF smaller scallops. use white
darning cotton instead Of the embroid-
cry doos, ~ the work can be done
more quickly and speedily and tie

He MUST BE HUMANE.
The Man That Takes Care Of the
Livestock.

The owner of livestock should make
sure that the man that is taking care
of his stock il humane in his meth
DDS. Many q young horse is about
ruined by being cared for by a maa
that is explosive in his temperament.
Such a man can sometimes be made
to control himself, II he is talked to
enough by his employer.
The man that takes care Of cows
should be impressed with the fact that
excitability affects the milk dow.
Great injury is often done young cows
by the man in charge Of them losing
his temper and trying to. pound them
into what he regards as proper habits.
The man that is not rightly balanced
for this kind of work will soon be
made manifest by the action Of the an
imals themselves. They will show
their fear of him and will avoid him
as much as possible.
The man that has the confidence OF
the farm animals is the man that feels
liking for them. They will show no
fear OF him, and often they will come
to him in the pasture. One may be
sure that in such a case the man is
the proper one to have charge of the
stock.
Animals quickly recognize friend,
says the Farmers Review. and as
quickly understand the man that dis
likes them. The employer Of farm help
should always be most favorable to
the employment Of man that feels
an attachment to animals. The ami.
mails will be more comfortable and
more profitable.

The president of the senate will, by virtue of this office, become acting governor since this duty must be filled by the president of the senate until the installation of the next gov ernor. As the governor is not formally installed until after the organization of both houses of the legislature it is evident that the next president of the senate will be acting governor during the time between the election of of- ficers in the senate and the formal inauguration of the new governor, after the organization of the house of representatives

president of the senate, Hon John l. Moore, who became the third gov ernor in the list. At the close of the session of the general assembly Gov. Moore was succeeded by Hon. X. o Pindall, who was elected from the hold-over senators as president of the senate and became the fourth in the list of executives. Eleven months
 later, through the absence of Gov. Pin dall from the state, Hon. Allen Ham, tier, speaker of the house, is qualified as governor, completing the quintet of governors who have ruled the destinies of the state since January 16. 1907.
 This would make, on an average, a little over three months to the eXecu- tive, though, of course, most of the time has been served by Cows. Moore and Pindall.
 Incidentally, it is interesting to note that within the next eight months there will be two other governors, making a total of seven governors for little over two years. This results from the fact that at the next meeting of the general assembly, if custom is

ADVICE ON HOW
 TO AVOID PANICS
WonSienor J. II. LHccy Says Selfish ness Prompts Thcm-What You Should Do in a Public PIa"S

MOnsignor Lucey in the preface or a subject that others who occupy pub
 lie positions should bring occasionally 10 the notice of their auditors. He spoke of the responsibility of men and women who enter a church, theater or other public hall where several hun dred people young and old are gather of all concerned. If every person pres ent would feel sense of respOnSibil-
 ty for the safety of all those around, there would less danger of panic when any untoward incident arises. Every one under those circumstances would be thinking as much about their neigh bors as themselves and selfishness which breeds panics would not de- velop.
 If church or hall takes fire while filled with people, no good is done by getting excited and throwing away what little sense people may have. In the case of fire there is more dan ger from panic than from the fire. This danger would be materially les sened if men and women who enter a public building to participate in public exercises would experience strong feeling of personal responsibility for the welfare of all around. It is poor consolation for people after crush has taken place and several persons killed and maimed to learn that there was no need for the crush and that their needless excitement was the chief cause of the disaster.

Lively Record Made By Bear State for Chief Executives During the Past Year and a Hali-All Men Who Have Served Are Still Living.

The chance remark yesterday by Secretary Paul Little to the effect that he had served as private secre- tary to four governors in little less than year and a half resulted in a little figuring on just how many chief executives Arkansas has had since the election of 1906, says the Little Rock Democrat.
 The list, covering a period of less than sixteen months, totals five, as follows: Jeff Davis, John s Little, John Ike Moore, Nenophen o. Pin dall and Allen H. Hamiter.

NY GREATLY STRAINED.
STATEMENTS BYBOTH SIDES
The Younger Mrs. Thaw Vigorously
AssalIs the "Insincere Attitude
Of Her Husbands Rela-
tives Toward Her.

New York, May 2S.--That the rel&
lions between Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and
her husbands family are greatly
strained was made apparent Wednes'
day when she issued o statement Wig
orously assaiIing the insincere attitude
assumed toward her by Mr.. Thaw'a
relatives since the beginning OF his
trouble, The statement followed an
exchange Of formal statements be-
tween Mrs. Thaw and Franklin Bart,
lett, of the counsel for Harry x.
Thaw's mother, which were furnished
after the discOntinuance Tuesday Of
the proceedings which young MIS-.
Thaw began for an annullment OF her
marriage. She declared at that time
that she had practically been forced
to begin the action by pressure exert
ed by her husbands relatives and that
she withdrew her suit because she be-
lieyed her husband In his present pre-
dicament merited her loyalty. A little
later Mr.. Bartlett, acting for Mrs.
William Thaw, made statement IN
which he denied emphatically that
either he or any of Thaw's relatives
had anything whatever to do with the
Institution Of the annullment suit. He
said Mrs. William Thaw desired that
Evelyn Thaw be treated not only fair
" but generously and that at the
present time she was being given an
allowance Of $1,000 a month. Her re-
ply to that statement is as follows:
an answer to the threatening and
insulting statement issued by Col.
Bartlett in the name Of Mrs. William
G. Thaw, Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has
this to say, that the statement is In
