SHEPHERD CARvERS.
The Lonely Sheep Tenders Of the Call
fornia Sierras.

There are few lonelier lives In the
world than those lived by shepherds
In the high meadows of the California
Sierras. All alone they follow their
sheep, seeing no one for many months
of the year but the sheep, their dogs
and perhaps an occasional-a very oc-
casional-traveler Probably this soil
tude dries up the springs of speech,
for they are said to be very silent
when they do encounter any one.
One Of these strange men is a Basque
from the Pyrenees. A lean, dark Wis
aged, ragged fellow, he is now and
then overtaken by some wanderer In
the mountains. Along the trail before
him his sheep feed. His mongrel collie
hangs ut his heels. He may raise his
stick In mute salutation: he may slouch
by without sign Yet this uncouth
being has one talent-he can carve.
His amusement Is carving quaint
sheep buckles out Of bone. Every herd
has Its belwether, about whose neck
hangs a bell. The bell depends from n
leather collar, and 1t is the buckles Of
these collars that this old Basque shep-
herd and some Of these other Sierra
shepherds make In the course Of their
lonely days. Sometimes buckle rep
resents summers work, for some Of
them are very elaborate. Some are in
the semblance Of saints or angels,
some have the monograms Of the sheep
owners or Of the shepherds In curious
designs. All are patiently cut, bit BY
bit, with the pocketknife Of the shsp7
herd.-Exchange.

month, says the La Grande Star.
The average disbursement is about
$4,000. but during the spring and early
summer season the amount of cream
received is larger than at other sea-
