Meeting Old Neptune.

An inmate Of Sailors Snug Harbor
In speaking Of the ceremony connected
with crossing the line," when Father
Neptune presides over the initiation of
the men who have never crossed the
equator, said:
II got my introduction to old Nep-
tune while I was in the merchant serv-
ice. I got my lather and shave and
ducking thirty years ago and helped
initiate many seafaring men and lands
men since then With hot tar handy,
Neptune's crew often took liberties
which would not be allowed on board
man-of-war. The skipper used to
look on from aloft, but he was blind as
a bat to things that he did not wish to
see, and the men knew enough to make
no complaint. I know that was mad
clear through at what got, but con"
tented myself with taking it out of the

The sun From 4 Balloon.

At the height Of two miles the sun
shines with fierce intensity unknown
below, where the dust and the denser
air scatter the rays, which, thus diff
fused, lose their intensity while FLU
mining every nook and corner of our
houses. At heights exceeding five miles
this diffused light is mostly gone, and
the sun shines glowing ball, sharply
outlined in sky Of which the blue is
SO dark as to approach blackness. At
the outer limits of the atmosphere the
sun would appear a brilliant star Of
massive size among other stars, and If
one stepped from its burning rays into
shadow he would enter Egyptian dark
ness. At the height of a mile and a
half we found it necessary to shelter
our faces to prevent sunburn, although
the air around us was but little warm
er than that of the previous night, be-
ing about IS degrees. AS the afternoon
wore on and the balloon began to cool
and sink we were obliged to throw out
much sand, casting it away scoopful
at time, and just after sunset it was
even necessary to empty two or three
bags at once.-H. Fl. Clayton in Allan

The Queens Lesson,

One Of the ladies in waiting to the

little daughter about four years old
and Of whom the queen was very fond.
The queen invited the child to have
lunch with her. OF course the mother
was highly pleased and charged the lit
tie girl to be very careful about her
table manners and to be very polite to
the queen.
The little girl came home in high
glee, and the mother asked her all
about the luncheon "Were you a very
polite little girl? And did you remem-
Der to do all told you at the table?'
asked the proud mamma.
"Oh, yes; was polite,' said the little
girl, "but the queen wasn't"
"The queen wasn'tv' said the mother.

fingers, and l just shook my finger at
her, like you did at me, and said, pig

COYOTE PROOF FENCE
GIVES EXCELLENT RESULTS

Fencing the range to protect sheep
has met with excellent results in the
Wallowa National Forest, Oregon. The
problem was to find a strong fence
that would make the sheep secure.
even without the care of herder
The chosen fence, which is built Of
woven wire with barbed wire on the
top, has kept out all the minor ami
mails such as wild cats, lynxes and
tacks of the grizzlies, which are ap-
parently able to pass through it with
little trouble.
Sheep numbering 1900 head were
placed in the enclosure with their
lambs upon June Goth and have been
allowed to Craze at their free will
with no attention whatever from any
herder. They have done spiendidly and
charge OF the experiment goes, q given
area grazed by sheep under such con-
ditions will carry more sheep per
acre than one grazed under the charge
of a herder.
Tracks along the fence show that
predatory animals come to the fence
constantly and follow it around but.
with the exception of the bears. do not
seem to be able to enter.
The hunter employed by the service
for hunting predatory animals in the
vicinity OF this fenced enclosure has
killed no less than six large grizzlies
this season besides numerous other
animals of the predatory class.
The results of this experiment are
so satisfactory htus far that private
individuals are prof1ting by it. Mr.. J..
w. Emmons. of Troy, Oregon, has a
large area of private land fenced with
special wire fence in which he has
this season lambed a herd of $40 ewes
without a herder's care and with very
little attention and great success. Mr..
Emmons Is extending his fence, for he
finds that 1t pays.
Careful record will be kept Of the
weights OF lambs raised inside this
fence with a view OF comparing them
with the same grade Of lambs raised
outside OF the fence on the same class
OF range. so that any gains or losses
in weight and growth may be deter
mined.

SHERMAN'S SPEECH.

Candidate Sherman has distinguish
ed himself by making altogether the
most readable speech Of acceptance of
any candidate thus far in the field. 1t
was very short, very much to the point
and was put in pithy phrases that
stick in the memory.
His first point was that he is pro-
tectionist, and he told why; and then
he took this whack as the Democrats:
"a revenue basis tariff for rev.
enue only, ultimate free trade" all
have an incidental meaning, that
meaning being an assault upon Ameri-
can industries, an attack upon the
American wage scale, lessening de-
mand for the products of America s
soil and American toll; less work, less
pay less of the necessities and COM
forts of life"
Large CHUNKS of truth here, packed
il 5mal! space.
Near the end of the speech he gave
M. Bryan about the worst Jolt
he hAs vet had in this campaign. Af-
ter telling what he thought about the
rule of the people. he went on:
Shame on the party, shame on the
candidate, who insults the American
people by suggestion or declaration
that majority of its electorate is
venal."
Probably the gem of Mr.. Sherman's
whole speech was his statement of the
real issue of the campaign:
THE overshadowing issue of the
campaign really is: Shall the admins
traton of President Roosevelt be ap-
proved; shall a party of demonstrated
capacity in administrative affairs be
continued in power, shall the reins of
government be placed in experienced
hands, or do the people prefer to trust
their destinies to an aggregation of ex-
detrimental malcontents and theorists,
whose only claim to a history is
party name they pilfered."
Evidently. in the art of putting
things, Jim Sherman is a jim-dandy.
