Conductors on the Rock Island be-
tween this city and Des Moines report
that passenger business at the present
time is very light, hardly anyone trav-

busy In their fields and merchants
along the line are busy with their
spring stocks. This is the case with
most If the local lines at present and

He eventually made will leaving his acquaintance his entire property. The knowledge of this bred familiarity. and the lucky one unwisely took ad- vantage of it-a fact possibly un- noticed by his decrepit, old, would-be henefactor. However, one day, while driving over the estates, the old man turned to his adopted heir and point ing to some sheep asked to whom they belonged.
 Well, you must be an old fool not to know your own sheep was the reply.
