cameIs Are Not Even In II.

Whether sheep are any relation to
camels the bureau of forestry does not
attempt to determine. but it has dis
covered that sheep can go four and a
half months without water, except for
such moisture as they can get from
the dew and the juices of forage
plants.
The constantly increasing demand
for grazing ground has forced forestry
officers to find places for as much
stock as can safely be admitted to the
forests. Therefore, they have tried,
apparently with success, the grazing
of sheep on ranges entirely destitute
of water. The grazing season lasts
from June Is to October 33l, and dur
ing this period of four and a half
months the animals on these ranges
do not get drinking water.
Under such conditions, according to
the forestry bureau, the sheep have
done extremely well, and last years
lambs from the Nebo national forest,
Utah. had an average weight at the
close of the season of 6S pounds. which
is declared to be rather above the nor
NAL weight.

GOOD JOKE ON BILL DAHLEN
Umpire Hurst Took Abuse Calmly
When He Knew Player Wanted to
Be Put Out of Game.

Bill Dahlen, manager Of the Dodgers,
recalls the time Tim. Hurst would not
put him out Of the game, regardless of
what he said or threatened to say.
Before the game Bill confided to
Hurst that he was desirous of being
elected from the game so that he
might go down to the Brighton Beach
race track and place bet ON good
thing"
"I'll call you a few mild names
you'll know l won't mean them-and
you can put me out of the game"
Bill told Tim.
Dahlen started applying the appella-
tions early. Hurst turned a deaf ear
to them in the first inning. In the
second he was just as immune from
Dahlen's calling down. Dahlen was
becoming angry, and started to call
Hurst harsh names. Finally Dahlen
blurted out phrase to Hurst that
would have cost him heavy fine
under ordinary circumstances. The
players who were within hearing were
astounded when Hurst would not cali
Dahlen.
Get back there and play" roared
Hurst to Dahlen. Il wouldn't put you
out of the game If you called me an

FIND JOKE HARD TO FORGIVE
Detective Burns Aroused Ire Of Fe-
male FeIIow-Passengers, and Also
Their Curiosity.

Detective w. ]. Burns was blessed
by the pope the other day. Half a
dozen well-to-do ladies reading that
statement earnestly hoped that the
blessing is defective and insincere
one, because Burns played joke on
them that they can never forgive.
They were fellow passengers with
him on the Mauretania.
Please, Mr.. Burns" they said to
ilim. pleadingly and working their
eyes. please make us a speech in the
cabin this evening. Tell US about the
wonderful detectaphone."
So Burns did. All the cabin pas
sengers were there. He explained to
them that the detectaphone could be
hidden almost anywhere.
I'm order to make my little talk a
convincing one," said he, 81 had de-
tectaphones hidden in every cabin
before I came on board the boat.
Last night I listened for hours
"Ohl" said many ladies, springing
to their feet
Then they remembered themselves,
and pretended they were just fixing
their skirts and sat down again, and
from time to time pinched their
cheeks to restore their color. Then
Burns said it was all a joke. The
various ladies laughed hollowly, like
the breaking of plates. When Burns
concluded they came to him, one at a
time, and eyed him sadly, and stood
in pensive poses.
did you reaily?" they asked him.
He assured them that he had mere
1y been spoofng. They all said they
were so glad to hear that. They said
he didn't seem at all that sort of a
man. Then they said:
Dear Mr.. Burns"
Mr.. Burns inclined an ear

Now every member knows that he
is at liberty to 'speak his peace"
avs he jolly well plea.es, and that no
one will call him to account. So
far as the post offices and other
federal patronage are concerned, they
are distributed among the Democrats
without regard to their attitude to-
ward the party leaders.
And the new members are net sit
ting in the rear seats, either. In
fact, they are eway down front do
ing mcst of the talking, and acting
like they had been in the house all
their lives. The most delightful fea-
ture of the whole thing is that the
old members applaud and encourage
them.
Why, the new currency bill was

President Garfield declared that
"a man found his natural level in
