THE DOGS OF sTAMBoUL.-In


the earlier history of Constantinople
something like modus vivendi ex-
listed among the packs of mongrel ca
mines keeping to their separate quar-
tiers of the Moslem city, but occa-
sional venturesome crusaders tried
to explore distant divisions, meeting
the fate of would-be conquerors of
the "holy sepulchur" in the tenth and
later centuries. AS the dogs became
multitudinous, contact of the gangs
grew more frequent and fierce, until
things resembled the present compli-
Gated contention among the Euro
pean nations.
The garbage piles of neighboring
places tempted far-away dogs to in
vasion, combinations were formed as
among the Balkans, only to be brok-
en- as shifts of new carrion attracted
to other fields. Finally the Turks
put aside their superstitious disin-
clination to interfere with their dog
fights and shipped all the city dogs to
a lone island at sea.
AS with other wolfish aggregations,
there were aggressive leaders con-
stantly starting quarrels, and had
these chief trouble-makers been sup

BIG SHEEP RUN EXPECTED
Range Stock is in Prime Condition
and Will Be Moving to the South
Omaha Market Soon.
LOOK FOR MORE THAN EVER

The beginning of the run of western
sheep for killing Is expected to set in
this week, and at the same time. accord
ing to the railroad men connected with
the lines operating into tlc sheep raising
zone of Nebraska, Colorado. Idaho and
Wyoming. the movement viii be the
heaviest i'm years.
All through the sheep raising and feed
ing territory OF the west the winter has
been mild. and as sheep have taken on
flesh rapidly. tac movement TO market
starts ten days to two weeks earlier than
usual. Sheep are asserted to he I'm prime
condition for market.
Indications, assert the local railroad
men, are that Omaha will receive more
sheep during the run that is setting I'm
than ever before during any like period,
due to the fact that in a way Chicago
is still quarantined against sheep.
The Illinois state board still holds the
quarantine against some fifteen countless
and it so happens that i'm these counties
are located practically all the feeding
pens of the western lines. The running
schedule on live stock trains between
Missouri river points and Chicago is
twenty-eight TO thirty hours. The federal
laws require that live stock shall not be
kept In cars to exceed thirty-six hours
without feed and water. With a leeway
of only six to eight hours shippers are
afraid to send their sheep to Chicago.
The Illinois board has no quarantine
against sheep west of the Mississippi
river, but the trouble is this; If sheep
should start from the Missouri river ter
mlnals and not be delivered in Chicago
within the thirty-siX hours required by
law, they would have to be uncarred and
fed at some of the Illinois yards. As
the quarantine 10 against these yards the
result would be that the sheep would
come under the Illinois regulation and
when reloaded would be regarded as ami
mails coming from the Guaranteed zone
and would not be permitted to be sold
on the Chicago market
As the price between the Omaha and
Chicago markets is so close, 1t is asserted
that shippers are not going to take any
chances on the last named place. and
consequently practically all the western
sheep will be shipped to and sold on the
Omaha market.

To Bosun's Mate Dixon, Mr.. Burke told
