Thomas A. Edison smiled when ref erence at dinner was made to cruel and barbarous treatment, and said he was reminded of an incident along that line.
 Some time since a pretty young wife brought suit against her husband for divorce on the grounds of cruelty and when the case was called the tair petitioned was put on the witness stand.
 "You say in your petition, madame interrupted the judge at one lnterval "that your husband treated you WlVh great cruelty?"
 "Yes, sir" was the soft and meek rejoinder of the witness, The was cruel to me very often" !, "In what particular way aSkeu the judge, q want to hear some spe- lcific cases"
 "In many ways" answered the pc titioner. "One of the worst things he used to do was to say things to ine on the telephone, and then hang up the receiver before l could ahS"'' back" ."-Philadelphia Telegraph

Opportunities in the Sheep Business

In the livestock and dairy depart. mcnt of the current issue of Farm and Preside, the national farm paper pub lished at Springfield, Ohio, contri- butor, writing about the opportunities in the sheep business, says in part:
 "The other day I read that wool prices out West have reached the best figure in great many years. Along about the same time something like this struck my eye: In the first week of March there were 76,6S2 less sheep shipped into the Chicago markets than in the corresponding week last year.
 Anything back of this?
 'Is there any less demand for meat?
 "A bit curious to dig little deeper into this, I learned that in the past four years-that is from 1910 to 1914 the holdings of sheep in this country had fallen off nearly three million head. Seems to me it is pretty good time to pay more attention to sheep.
 "No matter how things go across the water, there is going to be big call for wool and mutton for a long time to come"
