Paid Bio Price for Ram.


The price of mutton has gone up
in Australia. When the Red Cross
fund was being raised one wealthy
sheepowner presented a ram to be
sold by auction and the proceeds de-
voted to the fund. The ram was sold
in Sydney. The auctioneer who WELD
ed the hammer made an eloquent ap-
peal to the pastoralists and others
present to see to it that the ram
brought sum worthy of the object,
and one that would live for ever in
the history of these sales. The ram,
which was appropriately named Aus
tralia Day" was sold and resold %
times, mostly in straightout bids, and
when 1000 guineas had been realized
he was put up for final sale and
knocked down at 200 guineas ($1, ,020.

Pun and Kit became very popular
with all the kittens and cats In the
neighborhood after they gave the lee
ture and very much talked OF, and
poor Snowfall was not looked upon as
quite 1t ir equal.
One y after he had been In the
city with his master he heard a
commotion in the barn. and he thought
Puff and Kit must be giving another
lecture. so he went very quietly to the
barn door and looked in. All the cats
and kittens were sitting around the
barn. drinking tea, and one old Mrs.
Tabby was saying to Pun: 1T is q
pity your brother SNOWFALL does not
care for the artistic things in life
as you and Kit do; II must be very
trying to have him go TO town with
his master instead Of enjoying this
brilliant gathering you have here this
afternoon at your tea"

often speak OF II. but SNOWFALL does
not care for social life at all. He

he does not care for style. either"
He seems to be very proud OF his

Tabby.
"Oh, yes" replied Kit. $50 he is
but he does not wear them with any

He has not the grace or dignity
which you or Puff possess" said al
other old Tabby.

Worst Habit Of Boys.

One of the very worst habits In
boyhood is the cigarette habit. This
has long been recognized by all the
judges of the courts who deal with
young criminals, and especially by
judges of police courts, before whom
pass thousands of men every year who
are addicted to Incorporate habits.
These judges know that in nearly ev-
cry case the drunken sots who appear
before them, a disgrace to their pa
rents. themselves and the state, be-
gan as boys smoking cigarettes. One
bad habit led to another. The nico
tine and poison in the cigarette ere
ated an appetite for alcoholic drink.

Called Prettiest Iudue.

Miss Reah nj. Whitehead of Seattle
is said to be the prettiest judge in the
United States. She is one of the five
judges of the city court of Seattle,
and though when she was elected it
was expected that she would handle
cases involving women and children,
so far her work has been about the
same as that of her four colleagues.
The first batch of criminals consigned
to her court comprised five men, three
of them accused of burglary.
Judge Whitehead began her career
as a stenographer in lawyers Office.
Within a few months she began to
study law at night. After being ad-
mitted to the bar she was chosen a
deputy prosecuting attorney.

BUSINESS N CANADA

The remarkable fields that are rer
ported of the wheat crop of Western
Canada for 1915 bear out the estE
mate Of an average Weld over the
three western provinces OF upward at
rs bushels per acre. There is no
portion of that great west of q, 500
square miles in which the crop was

American farmer who was induced 20
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for five years fox
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price Of
the land out of this years crop Of
oats. No doubt, others, too, who took
the advice of the Department OF the
Interior to cultivate the unoccupied
land, have done as well.
But the story of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told IN the
language of the railways in the added
cars that it has been necessary to
place in commission. the extra trains
required to be run, the increased ton
mage of the grain steamers.
| 1t is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The G. P. r. earnings for the second
week CT October showed an increase
of $762,000 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
earnings of the corresponding week
of 1918, when the Western wheat crop
made new record for that date. The
! increase in G. P. R. earnings for tha
corresponding wes1 of that year was

Doo Knows Bad From Good coin

San Gregorio, Cal, has a dog, says
the San Francisco Chronicle, which,
with the exactness of a banker, can
detect the difference between the ring
of a genuine and counterfeit coin. A
few weeks ago some hunters threw
some coins on the counter of John
Marshall's hotel. Marshall did not
quite like the sound of one of the dol.
lars. Calling in his dog, he placed
him on the counter. The dog care.
fully picked up with his mouth four
genuine coins and took them to his
master, and left a counterfeit dollar
on the counter.
Hearing that his dogs ability was
questioned, Marshall put the animal
to series of difficult tests recently
in the presence of several coastside
citizens. Not in single instance did
the wonderful dog fail to detect a
counterfeit coin. The final test was
to nail a genuine and counterfeit dol
lar in separate cigar boxes. After
shaking each box furiously, the dog
chewed open the box containing the
genuine coin and took it to his mas
ter.
