BY Hi SIBLEY.

Charles NinSOn was telling of how
they used TO run butcher shops in the
old days.
when my father had market
here there were only four in town
Rockstroh's, Pete Glassman's and one
other" he said "and in thise days a
butcher had TO know the business
from a to Z. Father had TO go out
and buy his own beef. pork and NUT
ton on the hoof, take il to a slaughter
house and do nearly all the dressing,
curing hides and the like himself.
About that time we had a contract
with NOtre Dame-before they had
butt their own butchering establish
ment--to supply them with all their
meat, so we had to handle quite a lot
of ii, and father engaged old Sam
Mann to go through the country and
do the buying for him. Sam was a
regular old down-east Yankee--sharp
as tacks, and when he was put on a
deal, he close II up one way or an
other. Some Of his transactions were
little unusual you might say.
"One day we got an order for a lot
of mutton for the college-had to
have 40 sheep by Saturday. 1t was
then Wednesday. Now il happened
that just at that time sheep were
scarce-couldn't get 'em at any price.

He called Sam in and said, Sam.
we've got to get some sheep; have to
have 40 by Saturday. Can you help
us Out?'
Sam was dubious. Sheep is TURF

Did You Know That Sheep
Have No Upper Front Teeth

I'll see what I can do. he said.
and started out after the sheep. For
a long time he couldn't locate any
that could be bought-in fact didn't
know of any flock big enough to fill
the order. Finally, however. he hap
pened to remember he had an uncle
over south Of Elkhart who raised a
lot of sheep and concluded that was
his only chance.
Sam Called on Him.
Sans uncle was glad to see him,
invited him in and they talked over
one thing or another, but Sam didn't
let on what his business was. After
a while Sam said. that's a funny
thing about that epidemic going over
the country. amt it. uncle?
What epidemic? p his uncle asked.
'hain't heard nothin' about it.
" Why. that disease that's been
getting into sheep'-here his uncle's
eyes bulged Out-'they're getting 1t
all over the country-first they get
loggy and then their upper front
teeth drop out and then that's their
finish
The old man was pretty much eX-
cited at this and said: Let's go out
and take a look at my sheep which
they did.
"Over in a fence corner two or
three sheep were lying down-as
sheep will do any time-and going
over to one of them, Sam opened its
mouth and exclaimed: My gosh.
uncle. look at this, Uncle looked
and saw that there were no upper
teeth in the animals jaw. Then they
looked at another and another. and
the old man grOaned: oh, Lord,
what am 1 going to do-I'ns ruinedn
And Sam Got En-.
Sam svmpathiZed with him and
agreed that it was pretty serious. but
after thinking a while he said: I'll
tell you what I'll do uncle-yOu sell
me these sheep and I'll shin them up
to South Bend and get them butcher
ed before anybody knows about it
OF course his uncle was mighty glad
to unload them-and probably at a
very reasonable figure.
Now the fact OF the matter is
that sheep don't have upper front
teeth at ALL" VinsOn continued. The
old man had been raising them all his
life and never noticed it.
But you couldn't beat Sam, no
howl

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 16.-Slxteen
years of the indeterminate sentence
law in Indiana shows that out OF every
100 prisons paroled, 81 fulfill their OBJ
legations, &c violate their parole, two
die. the sentence of six expires during
the period and the remaining nine are
under supervision for a given time,
reporting regularly. These statistics
were made public Tuesday by the
board of state charities.
The percentage of paroled prisoners
varies but little in the three penal
institutions Of the state. At Michigan
City 765 out of 2.91e are parole pris-
oners, or 26.2 per cent AT the re-
formatory 1918 are parole prisoners
out OF 1870, or 1876 per cent. At the
wOman's prison 81 out of 213 or 2S.6
per cent, are parole prisoners.
The financial report OF the paroled
prisoners makes an interesting show

BAD ROADS To
STOP DELIVERY
Center township Residents
Will Lose Rural Mail Service
if Turkey Creek Road is Not
Repaired.

About 25 families residing in the
southern extremity OF Center town
ship on the Turkey Creek and inter-
secting roads are about to lose the
rural free delivery service on account
Of the impassability OF the roads.
The residents declare their efforts TO
get the Improvement necessary have
been unayailing. They declare the
supervisor, William Cheney who has
charge Of the roads in that district.
refuses TO take steps toward repairing
the road.
AT the local pOstoffice il was said
Tuesday that the service would un-
doubtedly be discontinued during the
winter when the road again becomes
impossible. During the fall the .,er-
vice has been irregular because the
carrier has been unable 10 reach the
district.
The road on Route No. : which is
most in need OF repair is the Turkey
creek road, main travelled thorough
fare. Practically all Of the other
roads in the township are in good con-
ditiOn it is said. The county commits
sioners just awarded a contract for
the improvement Of the South Michi-
gan road at S15.9O0. and the Center
township residents declare the Tur-
kew Creek road is in far worse condi-
ton.
Trouble has been experienced by the
carrier on Route No. Z for more than
year and since the postal regulations
provide that service may be discon-
tinued where the roads are impaS-
sab bic. the local officials say there is
no doubt the district will not be serV-
ed when the rough weather comes.
People Are Aroused.
The following letter received by the
News-Times reflects the sentiment OF
the residents in the district:
Editor News-Times:
Owing TO the negligence OF a SUI
perviSOr who has control of the roads
over Route No. about 20 families are
about TO be cut off from rural delivery.

requested TO put the highways in con
dition so as the mail carrier could get
through, but no heed has been paid
