% HE Union Pacific railroad has
discovered a new use for billy
goats and every day at half
hundred stock feeding stations
on the line of the big railroad
system, solemn goats with long
white boards act the part of Judas,
Turing unsuspecting sheep to their
doom. Little did the grave members
of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion think when they made ruling
that live stock en- route from the great
western ranges to the packing houses
along the Missouri river, should not
be kept aboard railroad trains for
more than % consecutive hours, but
that, at the expiration of that period,
the animals should be taken from the
cars and given water and provender
that the ruling would be responsible
for the creation of band of goats
trained to ingratiate themselves into
the confidence of innocent little lambs,
matronly ewes and stately rams and
bring these down to their death.
But such is the case. And the Union
Pacific railroad has flock of goats,
each individual member of which
can do better work along the
lines for which it is trained than half
a dozen men could do In twice the
time.
When the 28-hour law went into
effect the Union Pacific railroad found
It necessary to build big feeding yards
at numerous points along its line-in
fact, these yards were installed about
every % miles from end to end of the
big system. During the shipping sea-
son that railroad brings hundreds of
thousands of sheep from the great
ranges OF Wyoming, Colorado, Utah,
Idaho, Oregon, Montana, California
and the southwestern states to the
| packing houses at Omaha. Under the
new law It was necessary that these
sheep be unloaded, fed and watered,
and then reloaded every 2S hours.
Those men who have ever attempt
ed to drive sheep will remember how
difficult the task is, especially to get
the animals headed in the right direc-
ton. GAS timid as a sheep" is a
proverb, and its truth is proven every
day and every hour wherever sheep
are handled.
II the sheep are in the stock cars
1t is a big job to get them out. Efforts
OF the attendants to get them to leave
the cars usually result in the whole
bunch crowding up in one end and re-
fusing to go out the door. Sometimes
1t was even necessary that each indi-
vidual sheep be actually lifted up and
taken from the car.
And sometimes this 2S.hour limit
expired In the dead of night, when the
sheep were all lying asleep on the
floor Of the car, At such times 1t was
almost impossible to unload except by
the hand" method. At times half an
hour was consumed in unloading sin
gle car.
After the sheep we're fed and wa
tered came the reloading, and again
there was trouble, almost as much as
when unloading.
The railroad found it necessary to
maintain large force of men at
each feeding station, it being found
more economic to do this than to
spend hours and hours loading and
unloading train This cost money,
and lots OF 1t, but there seemed NO
means Of avoiding the expense. There
stood the United States courts ready
to infiict 500 fine every time car
Of sheep was not fed and watered
every % hours. Employing the men
waE cheaper than fines.

The contradictions of life are many.
An observant man remarked recently
that he was prowlipg about a certain
city square, when he came upon a
drinking fountain which bore two con-
fiicting inscriptions.
One. the original Inscription on the
fountain, was from the Bible; "And
whatsoever win. let him take the wa

Above this hung a placard; "Please

Every modern civilized nation has many
and terrible problems to solve within its
own borders, problems that arise not
merely from juxtaposition OF poverty and
riches, but especially from the self-con-
seriousness OF both poverty and riches.
Each nation must deal with these mat
ters in its own fashion. and yet the spirit
in which the problem Is approached must
ever be fundamentally the same It
must be spirit OF broad humanity: of
brotherly kindness; OF acceptance Of re-
sponsibility lone for each and each for
all; and at the same time a spirit as re-
mote as the poles from every form OF
weakness and sentimentallty. AS in war
to pardon the coward is to do cruel
wrong to the brave man whose life his
cowardice 1eopardizes, 80 in civil affairs
II IS revolving to every principle of
justice TO give TO the lazy. the vicious, or
even the feeble and dull-wi a reward
which is really the robbery of what
drawer, wiser, ADLER men have earned.
The only effective way TO help any man
Is to help him to help himself; and the
worst lesson TO teach him is that he can
be permanently helped at the expense OF
some one else. True liberty shows itself
10 best advantage in protecting the rights
OF others, and especially OF minorities.
Privilege should not be tolerated because
II Is to the advantage Of minority, nor
yet because It is TO the advantage OF a
majority. No doctrlnaire theories OF
vested rights or freedom OF contract can
stand In the way OF our cutting out
abuses from the body polite. Just lit
lie can we afford to follow the doctrin-
aires OF an impossible-and incidentally
OF a highly undesirable--social revolution

The work at the Lee County 1nsti-
tute Is progressing nicely with big
interest taken in every department
in spite of the heated condition OF
the atmosphere. Dr. Clarence w.
Wassam gave his lecture on The
Stuff That Wins last evening be-
fore a good sized crowd. He held the
attention of all by the individuality
of his presentation and the close re-
lation OF his subject to the work of
his audience. The Stun that Wins as
presented by Dr. Wassam was in
dividuality, strength of character
and stick-to-it-iveness.
Miss Cloudy and her methods of in
struction in the primary work are
meeting with flattering success. She
Is giving the teachers the best
courses of instruction that has ever
been given in the institute according to
the teachers themselves. Her per-
sonality is very pleasing and her
presentation of the work is of the
best. The teachers are getting many
new devices as we'll as much that is
good in methods. The Adeline method
of reading was presented today and
was of general interest.
Miss Cloudy is instructing the
teachers in the principles of the best
methods for teaching reading, num-
bers, and language in the primary
grades. She uses the thought process
as bases in developing in the child
observation, Imagination and skill to
do. Songs suitable to various ages,
the sentiment of which shall appeal
to the child and cultivate in him
love for the best in music are given.
Her method of teaching music In the
primary grades Is based upon the
principals of Modern Music Meth
| DDS. instruction is also given in COM
mon rudiments of music.

Crisis is Passed.

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 24.-The
crisis is believed to be passed in the
forest fire situation in Western Mon
tana and Idaho. Advices today state
that conditions in both states have i'm
proved; that rains are falling in Nor
thern Idaho and that the worst fires
in Montana are practically under con-
troll. The alarm over the fate of 500
forest rangers, who have not been
heard from for several days, has not
abated but there is a general feeling
that they may have escaped alive. For
estry officials today estimated the to.
tai property loss at about s2O,000,OO
in the two states.
