SHEEP HERDlNG LONELY JOB
Men in Australia Have Strange Ways
of Keeping Count of the
Days.

Each boundary rider on the i'm
mense sheep ranches of Australia has
district to look after, and he has
TO keep the wire fences in repair and
see that the sheep come to no harm
II Is hard. lonely life, in which the
rider rarely sees another human De.
ing. Many of the men have strange
ways Of Keeping count of the days
One rider named Eagan tried sey
eral plans to keep count of the days,
but always failed. At length he hit
on novel and attractive method. He
made II big damper-the name the
Australians give to cake of fioui
and water with seasoning of salt
on Sunday and marked it into seven
parts. Each section was a days al.
lowance, and the slices that remained
told him the number OF days that
must pass before Sunday came again
For several weeks this method never
failed him Unfortunately, one Tues.
day he fell in with fellow rider who
was very hungry. Eagan stinted him
self in order that the rayenous one
might be satisfied with that days see
ton OF the dnnper. But it was no
use. The host saw the knife cut the
boundary line and the hungry rider
carve into the almanac. lie could
stand It no longer.
stop, now, stop" he yelled, as he
clutched the remains of the damper
md glared at his visitor. There" he
went on, "you'ye eaten Tuesday and
you've eaten Wednesday. and now you
want TO slice the best of the mornin
Off Thursday Not If | can stop It,
