Sheep as Burden Bearers.

In the northern part of India sheep
are put to use unthought of in Euro
pean countries. The mountain paths
among the foothills of the Himalayas
are so precipitous that the sheep,
more sure footed than larger beasts,
are preferred as burden carriers.
The load for each sheep is from 16
pounds to 20 pounds. The sheep are
driven from village to village with the
wool still growing and in each town
the farmer shears as much wool as
he can sell there and loads the sheep
with the grain he receives in ex-
change. After his flock has been
sheared he turns it homeward, each
sheep having on it's back small bag
containing the purchased grain.

HOW He DoDGED THE ISSUE
Minister, Preaching Funeral Sermon
for Worthless Man, Talked OF
This Glorious Age.

One of the hardest things minis
ter is called upon to do is to deliver
an address at the funeral of = man
for whom there is really nothing good
to be said Such moments of embar-
rassment do occasionally arise. How
one parson tactfully COPIED with the
situation is thus reported in Human
Life:
The very worst man in mining
camp not notorious for its piety died
The fellow had been terribly bad. If
he lacked anything of total depravity,
none could recall any evidence of It.
He had been brutal and debauched
and debased in every way known to
mankind. When he died there was
a quandary as to what to do at his
funeral. He had been shot down in
his boots, in defense Of the very de-
cency of the camp. A nonresident
minister was sent for, and was told
the awful truth about the deceased.
Didn't he have any good point?"
asked the minister.
Not one
Wasn't he even kind 70 a child
some timer"
Never"
The minister was lost in thought
while; then he asked:
When is the funeral to be?"
Tomorrow at three. Will you
preach?"
''Oh, yesl"t
What in the world will you talk
about?''
Il shall talk" said the minister ION

my dear Mr.. Warren, undoubtedly
you are very available. Whether or
not you are the most available is the
question" interposed Mcdonald.
I'VE ought to get some man of the
highest consideration, who belongs to
a most respectable family, and yet
who's amenable to the right pressure.
How'd you do yourself, Mr.. Haldane?"
asked the boss innocently. If bosses
can ever ask anything in that vein.
Under no consideration" he said,
Gecisively, could / accept the honor.
My interests, our interests, are too
vast for me to localize them by be-
coming mayor of New York"

Connell, the chief of police He'd

He's twenty eight

He's the very man we want

asked Rutherford
He's down on Long Island at my
country place
Can you get in communication with
him by telephone?"
Il think so"
Suppose you call him up and ask
him whether or not, IL he got the
nomination. he would run"
Il will Excuse me, gentlemen
said Haldane, going out into the hall
where one of the duplicate telephones
was installed.
He did not care to do his telephon-
Ing in the library before the group of
conspirators.
Il think" protested Warren as Hal
dane closed the door behind him, that
this is shame. You promised me
that If l made a satisfactory mayor,
I should have the refusal of the office
again, and I'd Ike TO know what I've
done that you should throw me

here interposed the chief of police
And what is that. pray?" asked the
mayor.
We can put the Central Office de

BOXING SHOW
BIG SUCCESS
MEMBERS OF THE A. A. C. WIT
NESS GOOD CARD AT THE CLUB
LAST NIGHT.

The Ardmore Athletic Club slated
about as classy a card as was ever
witnessed in the city at the club
rooms last night before a good-sized
audience.
The contest was clean, the patrons
got run for their money at last
nights bout, and the success of the
club is assured as long as they con-
tinue to stage such events.
The preliminary between B. Weir,
and --- Griffin (colored), was
whirlwind affair while it lasted, but 1t
didn't last long, and anyone who es-
says to don the mitts with this "choc-
olate drop" Weir, had better "B weir,'
o he will slip one over that will bring
home the bacon. He fairly smothered
his opponent before the latter real
lied that there was such a thing as a
boxing contest and, and in less than
one minute had the decision of the
referee.
The principal event was the fifteen
round bout between Harry Bason of
Denver and Young Ketchell of Chi
cago. This went the limit and was
declared a draw by the referee, the
decision was received with satisfac-
tion by the audience and the princi-
pals. Here are a couple of classy
youngsters that are bound to be heard
from in the future.
Taken as a whole the show was
huge success and the promoters of
the sport in this city are to be con-
graduated.

MORE OF ROSS
PRU|TT CASE
ANOTHER SUIT FILED IN DIS
TRlCT COURT BY PRUlTT YES
TERDAY.

Since the decision of Judge Rus,
sell in the contest case, wherein
Byrd Pruitt was contesting the cleo
tion of Tom Ross for constable in
Akers township, and the decision OF
the Judge favoring the election oil
Ross, ano her suit has been started
in which Pruitt has filed quo war
ranto proceedings, and in this the
whole matter will be taken up
and the illegality of the votes, If
any illegality there be, will be shown
and the entire matter thrashed
out. The plaintiff in this case con
tend that enough illegal voters
participated in the election to cause
the election of Ross, and the object
OF the present proceedings is TO
throw out these illegal votes, which
it is alleged were in favor of the
defendant Ross, and by so doing
show that the plaintiff Pruitt did
receive the majority of the qualified
voters of the township. Some OF
the votes are questioned on the
ground of illegality by reason of
non-residence in said townhsip, and
others, and in this class is the
majority Of the questioned votes,
on the ground that the votes were
of people of African descent and
lacking the necessary educational
qualifications.
The entire matter will be consid-
cred when this case comes up for
hearing at the next term of court,
and the party will be decided on
which should have the election GER
tificate.
