 On this subject 1t Is said that Emma Flames has the most classical ear of any woman before the public eye. But even the ear of the charming Emma. the experts say is a way out. It leans too far back: 1t is too nearly on the horizontal to be perfect.
 The Princess Chimay was touted as the most perfect specimen of Ameri- can beauty, but her ear was declared by experts who are studying earology to have been almost deformity.

An exploit ren1iniucsnt of the Middle Ages, namely. the raiding of flock of $50 sheep just outside the Capital, and the death of the shepherd, under cir eumstances which point to murder, is the latest rnrislsh sensation.
 The sheep were grazfng on waste land on the banks of the River Marne. between the suburban towns of Aiforts vilel and Creteii. under the care of an old man named Frsderick Yung. who wae known as 'sPeFe Eritz."
 On Friday morning resident of the neiahhorhood attracted by the howl ing oe the shepherd's dog. entered the small moveabie hut in which "Pere Fritz sfapt and found him lying dead with blood oozins from his mouth. and beside him a bottle containing about a third of litre of rum. The sheep had gone, but were soon traced, es the flock had obstructed the tramears while they were being driven across the Charenton Bridge late on Wednes. day night
 Following this clue, the police last night arrested at a public house near Mont Parnasse Station. young man named Maviel. who confesed to having sold the sheep at Pantin and La VII. lette Markets for s3,13o. He declared that he only acted as the agent Of two men who had the appearance of horse dealers. and professed entire ig- norance as to where the stock came from. That he had accomplices seems evident from the fact that taxes to the amount of ss2o were paid on the sheen passing the Octroi. Marviel spent nearly $200 of the proceeds of the sale bsyins . ,sa watch ana ana ensin, a,sal articles. The remainder of the s3,ISe was found on him.
 The body of the shepherd had been removed to the morgue for a post mortem examination. It appears that several previous attempts to raid the flock had been frustrated by the vig- ilance of Printempt, the sheep dog, which is stili faithfully guarding the empty hut.

ASHES OF GLORY.
By A. J: Requier.

 Fold up the gorgeous silken sun, By bleeding martyrs blest, And heap the laurels 1t is won Above its place of rest. No trumpet's s notes need harshly blare, No drums funeral roll, No trailing sables drape the bier That frees dauntless soul. It lived with Lee and decked his brow From Fate $ empyreal palm; It sleeps the sleep of Jackson now, As spotless and as calm. It was outnumbered, not outdone, And they shall shuddering tell Who struck the blow, or latest gun Flashed ruin as 1t fell. Sheep, shrouded Ensign not the breeze That smote the victor far With death across the heaving seas Of fiery Trafalgar. Not Arthur's knights, amid the gloom, Their knightly deeds have starred; Nor Gallic Henry's matchless plume, Nor peerless born Bayard. Not all that antique fables feign And Orient dreams disgorge, Nor yet the silver cross of Spain And Lion of St. George, Can bid thee pale, prond emblem still Thy crimson glory shines Beyond the heightened shades that fill Their proudest knightly lines. Sleepl in thine own historic night And be thy blazoned scroll: A warriors banner takes its flight To greet warriors soul.

Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 27, 1907.- The cattle market has been uneven this week because of irregular re- ceipts. Monday and Tuesday there were famine supplies, and prices advanced 15 to 30 cents. Yester- day good run came in and steers lost most of their gain of earlier in the week Cows held steady yes- terday, and are now p to 35 cents above the low time last week. The market Is stronger today. Stock CTS and feeders have been quiet, as the holiday season Is not an at tractive time for country buyers to come to market, and business in this line has been small. Some Colorado stockers sold at $3.4Oand S3.6O this week but supplies from the range country have been small. Colorado cows sold at $3.15 to $3.- 50, some common cows at $2.50 to $2.75. Colorado heavy calves at $500. Prospects favor moderate cattle receipts here for some time, as not many in Kansas City terri tory are being fed for an early market.
 Sheep and lambs have advanced p to 40 cents in the past week, top lambs today $6.40, highest price paid this month. The run has been light here for some weeks, and prices here have little connec- tion with those at other markets, as buyers here have urgent orders and are unable to employ depres-
