Saint Had Disresarded Small Girls
Appeal and Her Faith in Him
Had Vanished.

There is one small girl in a New
York school who has lost her faith
in the saints-a faith that was i'm
plicit, says the New York Tribune.
Her name is Elizabeth. and she can't
learn to spell. She is always at the
foot OF the spelling class. She does
her best to learn. but II a wrong let
ter can creep into a word it sneaks in
when Elizabeth tries to spell that
word. Tuesday she came into the
class beaming. but inside OF two mi
nutes she had spelled innocent in
osent" and few "hough." The teacher
shook her head.

Fast Mails to the Coast.

washington.-Rival propositions to
carry the mails from Chicago to Sc
attle in fifty-six hours have been sub
mitted by the Great Northern company
and by the Chicago Milwaukee & St.
Paul railroad. Such an accomplish.
ment as is promised would clip sixteen
hours off the present schedule for the
twenty-five hundred miles.
The threatened speed war has for
its reward the four-year contract for
carrying the Overland mail from Chi.
cago for the Puget Sound country. Al.
aska and Trans-Pacific ports and from
Chicago to st. Paul and Minneapolis.
1t means nearly $7.00o.oo0 additional
revenue to the successful road during
the four years following next Febru.
ary. when the contract is due to be
awarded.

WYOMING WOOL GROWERS SAY

CLAIM SHEEP LEAVE RANGE
FREE FROM DISEASE BUT
ARE QUARANTINED.

Cheyenne. Wyo.-The sheepmen of
central and northern Wyoming are
up In arms over the action of inspect
ors OF the bureau of animal industry
at Omaha. and claim they are being
unjustly prosecuted.
Shippers claim that although their
sheep leave the range free from dis
ease. are passed as clean at the load.
ing points and at the .feed-in.transit
stations in Nebraska they are con-
signed to the hog yards and quaran-
tine pens upon arrival at South Oma.
ha. because a few sore-mouthed lambs
are found. The sheepmen claim that
these sore-mouthed lambs are nothing
new. and scarcely q shipment has
gone to market in the last twenty-five
.<ears that has not contained some
sore-mouthed lambs.
In pointing out the injustice to Wy
oming sheepmen. the shippers say
sore-mouthed lambs are received in
shipments from Montana. Idaho, Ore
gon. Utah. Colorado and other west
ern states. are passed as clean, are
not placed in the hog yards or quaran.
tined areas. and that IL those animals
are free from disease and are accept
ed. then the Wyoming shipments
should be accorded the same treat
ment. II sores on the mouths Of
lambs is a disease. and 1t is neces-
sary to quarantine the animals and
the section Of Wyoming from which
they were received. then there is not
a section Of the United States where
sheep are grown that is free. argue
the Wyoming shippers.
The Wyoming and National Wool
Growers associations have taken the
matter up with Secretary Wilson and
Chief Melvin of the bureau Of animal
industry in the hope that relief will
be forthcoming soon. The Wyoming
sheepmen say the work Of the federal
inspectors at South Omaha costs them
one to two cents per pound on all NUT.
