BY P0|s0NER's ACT SHEEP 0F ARIZONA
 DIE IN THOUSANDS

Clrcumstantial report has just been received by State Food Administrator T. A. Riordan of the death. apnarantlv by malicious poisoning, of several thou- sahd sheep which have been grazing in NaVaJo county. The first deaths oc- cured a week ago in the Mud Tank qrlveWay, east of Winslow, when Chet Houck lost 450 head, and A Spanish owner go. Since then 1,5O0 additional fatalities have been known to have oc- cured from the same cause in the same locality. Ed Sawyer, a prominent northern Arizona sheep owner. states that the stomachs of the stricken ani- mals show the Things eaten away as rom the action of powerful mineral poison. There could be no doubt on lnls polnt as a vegetable poison Would not act Tn such a manner. It is notable also that there never have been poison weeds In that locality. Several of the stomachs have been sent to Phoenix for analysis and others to the agricul- tural department at Washington.
 There is much speculation among the sheep owners over the reason for the wholesale poisoning It has been re- ported to the food administrator as possibly something that has to do with enemy work. cutting down the meat supply of the nation. There is nos slDlnty, also. that it may be linked un With the recent large importations of New Mexico sheep though only Ari- zona flocks thus far seem to have s,,f- fered. Undoubtedly the crime win nave federal investigation.

The Origin of Woman-A Hindoo
LEGEND

The Creator4of human life, after
completing man, found his materials
exhausted, Eand no solid elements
left. After profound mediation, he
took the .rotundi,y of the moon, and
the curves of creepers, and the cling
Ing Of tendrils, and the trembling of
grass, and the slenderness, of the
seed, and the bloom Of flowers, and
the lightness Of leaves, and the
glances of deer, and the gayety OF
sunbeams. and the weeping of clouds
and the fickleness of the winds, and
the timidity of the hare and the
vanity Of the peacock, and the soft
ness of the parrots breast, and the
hardness of adamant. and the sweet
ness of honey, aud the cruelty of
the tiger, and the warm glow Of fire,
and the coldness of Asnow, aud the
chattering of the jays, and the COO
ing of the cuckoo, and the hypocrisy
of the crane; and compounding all
these>together, he made woman, aRd
gave her to man. But latter one
week man came to. him and said;
Lord this creature tha s1sl may
have given me makes my life miser-
able. She 'chatters Dcessantly, and
teases me beyond endurance, never
leaving me alene, and she requires
incessant attention, and takes all
my time, and cries about nothing,
and so I have come to give her back,
as I can lot live With her" So the
Creator took her back. And after
a week man came again and said:
Lord, I find that my life is very
lonely since I gave you back that
creature. She used to play with me
and cling to me, her laughter was
music, and she was beautiful to look
upon and soft to touch" So the
Creator gave her back, but in only
three days the man returned, saying
that after all she was lnore of a
trouble man than a. pleasure; but
lhis time the Creator refused. and
man said: What is to be done?

TOOK HONESTY CENSUS
MagaZine Writer Mailed 100 One
Dollars by Mistake"

Cleveland Moffett, a New York
magazine writer, recently took his
lantern i'll hand, fguratively speak
ing, and like Diogenes of old went
out huAting for honest men-and
women. Desiring to know whether
New Workers really were as honest
as he believed them, he mailed 100
one dollar bills to a carefully select,
ed list of SO men and SO women, all
apparently addressed to the wrong
parties. Each envelope also carried
return address, which would en-
able the recipient to send back the
money.
The result was almost ilIuminat-
ing. One widely known millionaire
was among the men who swiped
the dollar. Women were shown to
be more honest than men, for 33
out of them returned the money, but
only 81 men did so. Only one
saloon-keeper out of five came
across and all the groups of five
into which the lists were divided
none but successful business wo-
men" made a perfect score for hon.
esty. Those who kept the money
were:
Women-tWo wives of prosperous
citizens, two actresses, two Steno-
graphers, two trained nurses, one
teacher, two housekeepers, two work
in6 6lrls. two women doctors and
two women lawyers
Men-tWo successful merchants,
one rich man, one lawyer, four saloon
men, two plumbers, two aldermen,
one newspaper man, one actor. three
doctors and two policemen.
