are divided up into half dozen flocks in the hands of share men, who care for the sheep for a share of the wool and lambs
 Except in lambing time the sheep are divided into bands of about 2000, each band in care of a herder. During the summer the mountains make the best range, such as the Big Horn mountains of Wyoming. In the winter when there is some snow on the ground lots of ranges can be used that at other times are use less on account of no water.
 The sheep herder's life is very lonely one. He Is provided with a covered wagon, which is hauled on the range, where he is left with his sheep and, per- haps, a dog or two, and provisions for a couple of weeks. His duties consist of following and watching the band as they feed out (from the bed ground around the wagon) in the morning until noon. when they lie down. rest, and chew their cuds About o'clock he gets them up and starts them back so as to graze back to the bed grounds for the night. In about two weeks the camp mover comes around and moves him three or four miles to another bed ground.
 When shearing time comes the bands are driven up to some favorable spot in turn and shorn. Oftentimes this takes place on the open prairie. The wool Is sacked and piled up and sometimes lies there uncovered for month before it is hauled in some cases 50 to 75 miles, to the railroad.

Young Girl Suicides.

Chattanooga, August 2S.-Miss Myrtle Dorsey, age 16 daughter of Alderman Frank Dorsey, committed suicide late last night by jumping from the William street bridge into the Chattanooga creek. Thursday night the girl left home, owing to some trivial family trouble. Her father searched until he found her with friends and took her back home. Last night she sat with her parents on the veranda un- til 10 o'clock, when she bade them good night, saying she was going to retire. She was not missed until this morning. The body was discovered by motorman on his first run this morning

LONELY LIFE OF A HERDER.
His Only Company Couple of Dogs
 and as Many Thousand Sheep.

From the Baltimore Star.
 All farms of 80 acres and up ought to have small flock of sheep. When fenced for them there is little expense in keep ing them as they eat mostly what would be wasted by the other stock. They kill out the weeds and bring in money for the wool at time when the farmer usually has little else to turn into money.
 Nearly all the wool raised in the United States east of the Missouri river is me- dium wool This is because the best nut ton sheep is of this class. The Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana wools bring the highest price; they are cleaner and con- sequently shrink less and are mostly staple wools.
 Wools from the above sections and neighboring states are called bright wools; those from western Minnesota, western Iowa, the Dakotas and eastern Nebraska and Kansas are called semi bright.
 The range wools- are usually known as western wool and are quoted generally by the name of the state In which they are raised, such as Montana, Oregon, Colorado and Utah wools. They all have characteristics that distinguish them owing to the soil, climate and the range conditions.
 The range wools, according to Fur News, are much better in breeding and staple than a dozen years ago. because the sheep men have been steadily grad ing up their fiocks with the best blood that could be secured, regardless of price. ing nearly if not quite as much as tho eastern or bright wools of the same grades.
 Some of the wool growers of Montana and Wyoming own or control 50,000 to 100000 sheep. Frequently these big nocks

 WILL BE FILED Thousands of Farmers Will Sue the BurIey Society MILLIONS ARE AT STAKE BurIey societys Acts in Pooling To- bacco Are Brought Into Cues
 ton and Damage Suit
 Is the Result.
MILLIONS ARE AT STAKE

Cincinnati, August 2S.-(Special.) .)-More than 4O,00o farmers of Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. who raised buriey tobacco and pooled it with the Burley Tobacco so- ciety in the 1906 and 1907 crops, are drawn into a suit that will be filed in the federal courts in Covington, Ky, next Monday or Tuesday, Attorney Hicken Iooper announced the case Saturday. The proceedings, to be brought under the Sherman antitrust act, will directly in volve alleged damages of $130, ,52S. 4S, and If the suit Is successful, approximately s4,ooo,oo0 and the life of the tobacco so- a reopening of the great tobacco war.
 The Clark & Scott Go. of Scranton, Pa, are to bring the suit.
 The direct charge in the suit to be filed Is that the Burley Tobacco society'is d combination in restraint of trade. The proceedings are the most vital and far reaching that have been filed in this sort of litigation since the $29,000,000 verdict administered to the Standard oil company by Judge Landis and later reversed.
 Following. the pool the night riders Edepredations came on. The storm broke over Kentucky and strife and bloodshed were continued for a long time.
 Gradually the price of tobacco ad- vanced and sales at Winchester were made and the Burley society, 1t was con- ceded, controlled the future manipulations of the great crop. In November, 1908, there were S0,O0O,OOO pounds of tobacco still in the warehouses. The American Tobacco cmoapny known as the tobacco trust, bought 75 per cent of this to- bacco. The remainder was to be taken by independents. It was a direct result of the last sale at Winchester that the suit is to be brought--
 The manufacturer. under the terms of the antitrust act, has a right to sue for three times the amount of damages ana attorneys fees This sale and others were negotiated by contracts with the Burley society, similar to the ones by which the trust got It's big share.
 The independents say they were forced to buy this last of the 100000 pounds Of tobacco, or else shut down. It is alleged the independents were forced to pay as high as II cents per pound for scrap to- bacco' that formerly sold at or cents a pound.
 The majority of growers of Kentucky are involved. If the suit is won by the manufacturers the matter will be pre- scented to the United States district at torney for procedure against the Bur Hey society to cease further operations. In addition, should the suit be successful all the other Independents will no doubt follow in the patch marked by the Scran- ton men. This will involve the sum of at least $40OOOO0 in damages

BattIeship We'll Tested.

Philadelphia, August 2s.-The battleship South Carolina returned to Cramps shipyard today, after having completed d most successful trial trip off the Della ware capes, in which 1t has demonstrated itself the fastest ship of It's class in the navy.

 MOORISH LEADER

Fez. Morocco, Tuesday, August A.-Bue Hamara. otherwise known as Fl Roghi, the rebellous subject of the Sultan Of Morocco, who was captured recently and brought into Fez in an iron cage, is still exposed to the gaze of passing crowds in his open cell. He shows his scorn and disdain and when several Europeans approached to take photos of his cage El Roghi shook his fist at them and shouted words of insult. When the Su!- tan asked Fl Roghi why he started the rebellion, the pretender to the throne re- piled boldly:
 "I simply followed your footsteps, only you succeeded and I failed"
 El Roghi has not as yet been tor tured, The Sultan is hoping to obtain the money Fl Roghi has to his credit in Eu- ropean banks.

A Bum -BereIIa.

From EverybOdys Magazine.
 Many of my opponents" said Joseph Chamberlain in one of his tariff reform speeches. "are as ignorant of my propo- sltson as was a certain farmer, many years ago, of the umbrella
 '"Ths farmer had made a journey of some 20 miles on foot to a small town. As he was about to set off for home again. hard rain came up, and his host loaned him and umbrella-a novelty at the time-opening 1t himself so as to save his friend all possible trouble.
 "A week later the farmer brought the umbrella back. The weather was bright and fine, but he held the contrivance open over his head.
 This instrument he grumbled, is more trouble than it's worth. There wasn't a doorway in the village I could get 1t through, and had to tether 1t all the week in a field"

Where Bayonets Were First Forqed

Bayonne, to which the Queen of Spain has retired, across the frontier from San Sebastian, has associated itself forever with military glory.
 For it was here in the 17th century that bayonets, destined to play an important part in continental battles, were first forged. In its early stages of develop ment the bayonet had to be fitted by means of handle to the bore of the firelocll after the soldier had fired.
 But Bayonne found a better way of att taching the bayonet and now as a First Empire admirer of the French said, 'these people owed large part of their victories to the new attachment and to the neglect of this in succeeding wars. and trusting to their fires alone, they owed their defeat
