THE GENTLE SHEEP AS A RAPID.
FIRE MoNEYMAkER.

An enormous number of sheep are
coming into the Union Stock Yards,
Chicago, which are being sent there
by Western grazers on account Of
the scarcity of feed in that section
of the country. and which must be
sold at buyers prices.
The states of Michigan. Ohio, In
diana and Illinois, are well provided
with good feed and an opportunity Of
this kind. II offered by one of the
great dry goods houses or department
stores of Chicago, would deplete three
quarters of the homes of that city of
Its womenkind inside of half an hour
after the notice appeared. All they
would want would be time enough to
throw few clothes over them; some
wouldn't even stop to put rats" in
their hair, thousands would forget
the powder" none would stop to
paint" but every fathers daugh-
ter" of them would make "B" line
to bubbles pants, and extract there
from without leave. license or con-
sent, all that therein was to be found
in the shape of cash, and then tum-
BILE over each other to be first on the
spot.
Lots Of these women would buy
much more than they required, and
would quietly hold over their purs
chases until the close of the sale, and
then let loose their surplus stock up
on their less wide awake friends, and
reap thereby a harvest of "sheckels"
which we may take for granted would
be at once returned to the trouser
pockets Of their husbands while those
gentlemen still slept. That is the
woman of it.
Let us take lesson from her
thrifty and honest example. Extract
ing from the pockets of slumbering
spouse. under such circumstances is
not robbery, 1t is only borrowing, and
more than that, 1t is borrowing on
account of that most beautiful of all
female characteristics = thoughtful
consideration-She did not wish to
disturb the peaceful rest of her softly
sleeping consort.
Sheep feeding at this particular
time, and after the season Of West.
ern drought just experienced, will be
most profitable to those who are for
tunate enough to have the feed, and
such as have, can in the course Of
sixty days turn over their money in
such satisfactory way as will add
very largely to their bank accounts.
There is nothing in sight att the
present moment, that offers better
and safer investment than the pur-
chase of these sheep. in numbers that
each buyer can accommodate, and
nothing that offers so speedy and SO
certain q return.

the pine trees. The passage says:

True It is that these pine trees
shed not all their leaves, their verdure
remains fresh for ages long; even
among evergreen trees-the emblems
OF unchangeableness-exalted is their
fame to the end of time-the fame of
the two pine trees that have grown
old together" What are these two
pine trees? Who are the old man and
woman? The ghosts of the trees are
nothing but the old man and woman
singing the age Of golden and happy
life. Oh, pine trees of the color of
eternity and life. you are the symbol
OF peace and joy. Among some 300
repertories now in existence there is
no other like THE Robe of Feathers"
That swill gracefully carry the delicate
statuesque beauty of composition and
sentiment 1t is the play of a fairy
whose feather robe was stolen by
fisherman on Mos pine-clad shore.
while she was bathing, and upon her
promise to dance was given back
finally. Not to go to extreme even in
sadness is taught in Japan to be the
height Of cultured manners; here we
have every Oriental beauty and lamen-
tation In this fairy who could not fly
back to the sky. and sang:
vainly my glance doth seek the heavenly
Where rising vapours all the air enshroud,
ana ven the well-known paths from cloud
to cloud.
And she promised that she would
dance the dance that makes the
Palace of the moon turn round.
and would leave her dance behind
us token to mortal men, If her
robe should be restored her. However
the fisherman doubted that she might
hurry home to heaven without dancing

John H. Farley-who had always been
