HANDLE SHEEP WITH PROFIT
Good Drainage, Pasture, Some Shelter
and an Interested Attendant
Are important.

The requirements of a farm where
sheep can be handled with profit ar.
good drainage, plenty of fresh pas
ture, land that will produce clover, al.
falfa, cowpeas, or soy beans; a good
water supply, fences that will keep
sheep out of growing crops and fur
nish two or three fields for frequent
change Of pasture, a shelter that will
protect the flock from cold rains, winds
and storms, and an attendant who can
give the flock interested and intelli-
gent care.

The Girl With a Basket.

1t was June outside. .June-it
slipped down out of the cool dells and
dfngles of the woods and soothed the
Pearlhunter's face, red with the stine
and reek he had just left. He filled
his lungs with it-.Iune-he tasted it
with his lips.
With half IN eye on the door of the
Mud Hen. half an ear over his shout

"Wlat name?' inquired the old
banker. making out the receipt. after
having placed tn" pearl away in tho

The banker had his mouth already

didn't. lnSteAh, he took u hptTer look
at the tail young fellow on the other

out the receipt.

want your pearl, Mr.-Pearlhunter.'
".And if ! lose it,"
"Then-well-just bring your face.
Yes, that will do-your face. l reck-
on YOU won't lose it,"
The old fellow chucklcd as if he
had surprised himself making a joke.
1t usually puts a man in IA good hui

joke. The banker stood rubbing his
bony hands together While the Pearl
hunter walked ont.
What next? The P%earlhunter
stood on the sidewalk outside of the
bank door and debated that very
question: Il question in two parts

AT the moment, a young woman
with a basket on her arm came out of

walked rapidly toward the saloon.

seemed to know that he would be

MOTHER SAW TRUTH AT ONCE
No Use Telling Her That Her Boy
Had Made a Success in the
World Of Art

He was pianist, scarcely out Of his
teens. He had been sent abroad by
wealthy friends for a four-years'
course In his chosen art; had there
after spent year on the concert stage,
and behind 200 or 300 newspaper re-
ports Of his success abroad he was
now coming home.
When his train drew into the sta
ton and came to a stop the pianist,
evincing the artistic temperament in
his hair as well as in his manner,
descended to the platform. At the
same time the crowd of enthusiastic
tOwnSpeople drew aside to allow his
proud mother to be the first to well
come her son.
When she reached him, however, she
gave a gasp and stood stOck-still star
ing at him. The next moment she
burst into sobs and fell on his neck.
"Henry" the good woman cried.
They told me you were doing so well
over there and maxim money pIenti-

DO BRUTES' SPIRITS RETURN?
Abundance Of Testimony Seeming to
Prove That Ghosts of Animals
Have Been Seen.

With such quantities of spirits run
ming around loose, why not few rep
resenting departed animals?
There is plenty of testimony indors-
ing animal ghosts. In India there are
ghost elephants and ghost tigers that
haunt the jungle. And natives Of that
country are restrained from abusing
enimals by belief that the phantom
of any mistreated creature will sure
ly come back to bring misfortune to
the offender.
Andrew Lang quotes a well-known
naval officer as speaking of an Occa-
sion when the latter was visiting at
the country house of a friend and
well-knOwn bark was heard outside the
door Of the room where the two men
sat.
"Why, there's old Peter" said the
officer.
"Peter died since you were here
last" replied his friend.
A fox terrier that was in the room
whined and trembled violently. The
door was pushed open and the pad-pad
of a big dogs feet on the floor was
heard. No dog was seen, but the in
visible ghost of one walked to the
hearthrug. shook itself and then flung
itself heavily down, the jingle of its
collar being distinctly audible.

LAMB THAT GREW ON TREE
According to the Talmud, Remarkable
Plant Furnished Food for Our
Very Remote Ancestors.

How often is the wish expressed
that money grew on trees? Why not
wish for lamb to grow that way, for
according to the Latin translation Of
the Talmud of Jerusalem, that ancient
book Of law and customs, wonderfully
tender and eatable lambs did grow on
trees.
This work, remarks a writer in the
New. York Evening Sun, tells of a
plant called the jeduah, which was
formed like lamb. From a bunch Of
rather coarse, thick leaves there is
sued steam on which the zOOphyte
grew, SO the story goes. In every re-
spect it was formed like an animal
suspended on stalk within the radius
of which 1t grazed. 1t devOured all
the heritage which it was able to reach
within the circle of its tether, and
then unless some overventurOus ami
NAL came near enough for it to snatch
the lamb would die of starvation.
Our remote ancestors hunted the
lamb at great risk, for historians tell
us that the lamb had not earned its
reputation for gentleness then. 1t was
extremely ferOciOus, especially if it
had exhausted it's provender. The
only way to overcome it was to cut the
stem by weIl-aimed darts or arrows
sent from a safe distance. Once the
stem was severed the animal fell to
the earth soon to die, and the sue
cessful hunter could safely come forth
to carry his game back to his cave
home.

ass trudges, and keeps a dull eye on

sheep trots, and bleats as it passes,
while the goat springs aloft almost

birds on the level varies a great deal.
There is a sort Of majestic carriage
In the rock. stepping over crumbling
furrOw. The red-footed pigeon trips
It daintily; the heron stands, as If to
think, and moves with stateliness with
In its narrow bounds. The dog casts
a careless foot, scattering dust or mud
: without thought; while the cat ad-
? vances dainty paw, as If distrustful
Of the ground. The hen scratches, and
pauses to look round, as If bewildered;
while the peacock lifts its foot with
seeming pride, and as if the earth
were hOnOred by its moving upon it
at all. The pig takes ground anyhow,
and without needing, turning about,
careless whether right or wrong. The
little mouse ScurrieS across the COM
mon path with something Of the pas
sivity of a blown leaf; while the rat
assumes the ground to be its own pos
session, and prOwls about with conf
dence and unconcern. OF all animals
