Ozark Horse" Theory.

The situation as 1t has been canyassed
by men who have a keen eye for affairs
would appear to be brought down to this:
If the rumor Is true that dark horses
will receive the appointment, thus elimi-
mating the twoscore Of candidates known
almost by heart, there are six men who
stand with their feet on the threshold of
the District building. They are Cuno H.
Rudolph, w V. Cox, Alonzo TweedaIe,
James +. Oyster, Corcoran Thorn and
James 8. Henry-dark horses all, in q
sense. although from the fact Of their
prominence in affairs they are distinctly
not in, the class of unknowns. But there
has been no upheaval of public sentiment
and no long document of appreciation and
recommendation in the case of any of
them
1t may be that the President has known
for some time who the Commissioners
will be, and it may be that the two men
appear In the six just mentioned. 1t is
all guess. but is the boiled-down opin-
ion of men who are and have been quietly
studying the situation. 1t is a problem
as difficult as any In mathematics, as far
as the general public is concerned, be-
cause the unknown quantity is the Presi-
dents mind, and there is no answer book
into which one may peep in advance of
the solution.

Predictions of the Scoffers.

IL such is the case, aud there is really
no reason advanced why such should not
come to pass, the predictions of some OF
tho scoffers on the side lines would seem
TO DO tfngcd with prophetic insight.
Many gentlemen who have held aloof
from Endorsements and Comnissionership
agitation have made many remarks about
tho furore that the combined cries for
recognition have made, and the gist of
their comments has been that after II
IS all over there will be four Commits
sioners-two will be those appointed BY
large bodies of friends, and the other
two will be sitting in the District build
Ing as the result of the appointment by
the President and the concurrence of
the Senate.
Every one realizes that there has been
much Sood-natured rivalry and much
pleasant banter arising from the fact
that the list of candidates, as published
in the newspapers and spoken of in the
mouths of men, has been long enough to
choose Commissioners In any municipality
Ut has been the pride of many a man
to know that he has taken sufficient
interest in his section of the city and
has shown intelligence enough and good
citizenship enough to have his name
backed by long list of his friends.

Very often helper is engaged for a
fortnight or SO. to push the work
through, but the heaviest part of the
burden rests on the shoulders of the
permanent hands. Needless to say, it
Is busy time while it lasts, for all
the other work of the farm has to be
carried on simultaneously, and it
means, for the shepherds, getting up
very early-not later than 4:30, and
working late. The permanent hands,
having their ordinary work to get
through as well, do not, of course,
clip SO many sheep in day as a clip
per specially engaged for the job.
About a score per man, or there
abouts, is considered very good
days work; a good hand working full
time will turn out, on an average,
about thirty. Formerly he used to be
paid by the day. but it is more usual
now to follow the piecework plan.
On both sides of the Border, the
Lowland sheep are always washed a
week or SO before shearing. But
many farmers assert that there are
other benefits which accrue from it.
They say the washing improves the
health of the sheep. Some old writ
ers held this view, and Youatt quotes
that excellent chemist Vauquelin, who
says: I'm this respect am inclined
to adopt the opinion of those who
think that the washing of sheep, dur
ing dry warm weather, may be use
ful to their health and to the quality
of the WOOL" However this may be,
it is beyond question that the practice
of washing, previous to shearing, is of
ancient date, and it is quite probable
that its origin is to be found in the

cAAprER xII.


Morley Vernon came out of the din
ing room in a temper far different
from that he had worn when he went
in. His breakfast, after so many vi
cissitudes, was sure to be failure,
though John, striving against fate, had
tried to restore the repast to Its orig
inal excellence by replacing each dish
with fresh one. He affected a heroic
cheerfulness. too. but the cheer was
hollow. for his experience of men and
of breakfasts must have taught him
that such disasters can never be re-
paired.
Vernon, however. had heavier things
on his mind. In his new position as
knight-errant of Illinois womankind,
he had looked forward to this day as
the one of triumph; now at its begin
ming. he found himself with two Of.
Tended women on his hands, and two
hopelessly irreconcilable mistresses to
serve. He began to see that the lot of
a constructive statesman is trying; he
would never criticise leaders again.
The lobby Of the hotel was filling
rapidly, and men with their hair still
damp from the morning combing were
passing into the breakfast room with
newspapers in their hands. !, In the
center of the lobby. however, he saw
a group of senators. and out of the
middle of the group rose a dark bon
net; the flowers on the bonnet bobbed
now and then decisively. Around it
were clustered other bonnets, but they
were motionless, and. as it were, SUBJ
ordinate
Can you tell me who that is?"
asked Brooks of Alexander, jerking his
thumb at the group.
YES" said Vernon, that's Gen.
Hodge-Lathrop. She's on her way to
the front to assume command"
"Oh!" said Brooks. 81 saw some
thing in the papers" And he went
away. reading as he walked. d.soi
Vernon looked everywhere for Miss
Greene, but he could not find her. The
porter at the Capitol avenue entrance
told him that she had driven over to
the State House few minutes before.
Vernon was seized by an impulse to
follow, but he remembered Amelia.
He could not let matters go on thus
between them. If only Mrs. Overman
Hodge-Lathrop were not in command;
If he could get Amelia away from her
for a while, If he could see her alone,
he felt that explanations would be pos
sible.

Two Marks Of Beauty.

Beautiful eyes and brows are, In
one sense, special gift Of nature.
Many plain woman is redeemed by
line eyes; many a pretty face spoiled
by red-rimmed, dull. lusterless eyes.
But at tie same time great deal may
be done to make even unpromising
eyes clear and attractive. to render
eyes which are only passably pretty
really beautiful.
Attention to the general health will
go far to make the eyes clear and
bright and prevent fatigue. even when
they are called upon to do a great
deal of work.
Have you never noticed the dull
eyes OF a person afflicted with dyspep-
sia. the yellow tinge of overfeeding
ana negiected liver; the lusterless
eyes OF the woman who sleeps in an
ill-ventilated room, who takes no ex.
ercise and spends all her spare time
reading novels over the fire?

because she had arranged to attend a
dinner that evening with him. She said
she yearned for national Office for him.
On Vernon's desk in the senate he found
a red rose. accompanied by plea for
suffrage for women. He met the au-
fhoress. pretty Miss Maria Greene of
Chicago. who proposed TO convert him
into voting for house resolution No. 10.
Miss Greene secured Vernon's promise to
vote for the suffrage resolution. He also
aided her BY convincing others, He took
Greene consulted with the 1ieutenant-gov-
ernor. Vernon admitted to himself that
the suffragette had stirred strange feel
ing within him. He forgot to read his
fiancee's letter Vernon made a great
speech in favor of suffrage. aided by
giances from Miss Greene. The resolution
was made a special order. Vernon was
enthusiastic on the prospects for the res
olution. He was much in Miss Greene's
company. Vernon neglected thoughts of
Amelia He took Miss Greene driving and
laid out plans for the success of the reso-
luton. Vernon's speech caused n great
newspaper sensation. He was being neg
lected by Amelia. who had not answered
his letter. Vernon is tipped on that his
Nffrage resolution may not pass As
ing he had no fears. Miss Greene ar
rived and breakfasted with Vernon.
Across the dining room, cntrenched be-
hind women opponents of the suffrage
resolution, he spied Amelia. He started
toward her
