RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.
Credit

Credit
This year will bring unsettled times
because of readjusting; the mer-
chant princes need their dimes. and
they'll be slow at trusting. They'll
not give credit left and right as late
ly they've been doing. and frowns
will greet the slow-pay wight who'd
buy a plug of chewing. And many
men this year. | guess, will need a
slice of credit, for readjustment
brings distress-the banking sharpe
have said It. Now he who's kept his
stand-off bright will know the easy
shedding. and merchant princes will
delight to sell him books or bedding.
However stringent money is, the
lamps for him are burning; to see
his good old honest phiz, the mer-
chants all are yearning. And IL he
asks TO buy on time a grindstone or
a hammer. the dealers on his person
climb. with glad. exultant clamor.
Therell never be a time so tight that
men of reputation for having always
acted right, can't get accommodate
ton. A reputation as good pay is
better far than rubies, and men who
do not think that way must travel
with the boobies. The melancholy
days are here. suspended tick will
daunt them: and bills they should
have paid last year will rise like
ghosts and haunt them.

PROVIDE SHELTER FOR SHEEP
Animals Need Protection Against
Dampness as Well as From Cold
During the Winter.

For the benefit of farmers who are
wintering flock Of sheep for the
first time this year, the Nebraska Col
lege of Agriculture offers the follow
ing Suggestions: A good well-venti-
lated shelter is necessary, not SO much
for protection against the cold as
against dampness. The fleece will
keep the sheep warm if it is dry. A
good shed open on the south will serve
the purpose until Landing time, when
a warm barn is necessary If the wealth
er is at all cold. After the corn
is shocked the sheep can run in the
stalks in good weather, with corn
silage or alfalfa fed in limited guam
titles. A little fodder may be fed in
stead Of silage, but sheep seem to do
better where some kind of succulent
feed, such as silage, roots, pumpkins
and the like is a part of their ration.
Very little or no grain is needed up
until a week or two after Landing

The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every

law. Back again in South Africa, he practiced
law and politics. Then he became Paul Kruegers
secretary Of state. Probably his state letters to
London had more than a little to do with bringing
ON the Boer-British war of 1899-1902 Into that
hard-fought little conflict he went as private
1t was about this time that Sir Alfred Miner
and SHUTS had their famous encounter, which IS
thus described by Stephen Bonsal in the New York
Times:
Miner is reported to have pleaded with his
young and promising antagonist much in these
words:
"'Stop, look where you are going, SHUTS. You
are digging your political grave without knowing
it. think. England will never forgive forget
this-and you a Cambridge man-one of our
own
"'Yes thought was almost an Englishman,
too, SHUTS is said to have answered But the
Jameson raid proved to me that wasn't. I'm go
ing with Dom Paul Kruger, not because I'm
Dutchman or a South-African but because he is
right and I want to be right. Perhaps some day
England will see who were her real friends and
who were her real foes, but in the meantime I

Edwin c. Hill writes in the New York Herald:
1T was as of the Boer peace commissioners
who met General Kitchener and Sir Alfred Miner
