no matter how much he wanted to do
something else.
So it took him several days to
finish the thing he was, making and in
all that time the three little Possums
saw almost nothing at all of him. He
didn't forget to feed them. but not
once did he take them out OF their lit
tie cage for frolic. They didn't know
what to make of it. You zee. they
couldn't see what he was doing and if
they could have they wouldn't have
known what it meant. They could
hear him whistling and for a time tine
long as they could. hear that they
knew that he wasn't very far away
and he might. he just might, come any
nrirrate to take them out.
But when a whole day passed with
out a chance to leave their little pris-
on. and then another whole day, they
began to get fretful., They had grown
wonderfully since Farmer Browns boy
had caught them. They didn't have
much Of anything else to do but grow,
they just grew and grew until that lit
tie cage. made for one lone Red Souir-
rel. was altogether too small for three
fat little Possums. They could hardly

and this led them to quarrel. They
were beginning to be very unhappy.

sir. he didn't. Instead he went over
to the barn. There just outside and
quite close to the henhouse was a
great big wire pen. He opened a door
in one side and put the three little
Possums in.
Right away they began to explore 1t.
They knew without being told that
this was a new home for them. 1t
was big enough for them to scamper
about to their hearts content without
getting in the way of each other. In
one corner was box with a hole in it
big enough for them to go in and out.
Inside this was the incest bed. In the
middle of the pen was-guess what!
\ hollow tree: At least it was part
of a hollow tree. 1t was set firmly in
the ground and reached to the top of
the pen. This wasn't very high. of

Sheep Loss Not So
Large as Expected

e.. NJ. Southwark, secretary of the
w. T. Jenkins company, returned
last night from northern Elko coun-
ty where he had been looking after
the company's sheep and ranching
interests. He states that the snow
storm in the first part of the month
was moi so severe in northern Elko as
it was in this part of the state and
that consequently the loss of sheep
was not so heavy as was expected.
The loss of lambs, however, was quite
heavy during the storm. One of the
herders, who became separated from
his sheep, was found after he had
wandered in the drifts four days. He
had become snowblind.
At one place, says Mr. Southwark,
hundreds of jackrabbits were killed
by hailstones which were nearly as
large as hens eggs.-Humooldt Star.

Merger Troubles
Have Been Settled

Claude M. Smith has resigned as
director of the Goldfield Merger
Mines company and has been sue
ceeded by Edgar A'nes of Seattle,
and other retirements from the direc-
torate are predicted as a result of
the peace pact tentatively accepted
by the warning factions at the San
Francisco conference Wednesday.
The new directorate will be entirely
harmonious.
The Reorganied Booth Mining
company will give the Merger a side
line agreement in return for a block
OF the stock, the amount of which is
o revealed. 1t developed that an
apex suit was threatened by the
Booth against the Merger, but the
agreement, subject to ratification ut
the special meeting of directors, TO
be held at San Francisco May 18th,
definitely settles hat point.
The probability is that Merger will
increase its capital stock and there
will be an equitable distribution NJ
the increase, the Booth receiving its
payment.

Henry M. Hoyt, and George S.
Brown, local representative of Fred

at San Francisco, returned to Reno
