A. Starret, a deaf until very recently ahrakeman on a Maine local freight is probably the only deaf man in the world ever employed in such a capacity. His retirement from the position was not owing to his affliction, and his friends say he may take up the work again. He was so efficient in the discharge of his duties, that had it not been for his deafness he would in all probability have had a train long ago. Minnesota papers have a story to the effect that a deaf-mute was doing several towns with alphabet cards at ten cents a card.

We failed to see his name mentioned. He was caught in the act of opening an unlocked safe and taking $28.25 therefrom. When in custody he confessed to the theft, and on further examination on his person over $200 in greenbacks were found, but he declared it was honestly earned. He is in further developments in the case from heard sources. Iowa Indicator.

Here is the whole thing in the sheep business, when a good mutton breed is used: The wool and manure will pay all cost of keeping, and the lamb crop is all clear profit. Without counting the yearlings, which should not drop lamts, a good flock of sheep will raise to maturity a lamb each, and it is almost always the case that more are raised, so that there is a lamb for every sheep, including ram and yearlings, and it is not at all uncommon to greatly exceed this. Now, then, it is a simple matter of figures: If 100 ewes raise 100 lambs that average 70 pounds each in Kansas City on September 1. raised on grass, and sell for $6 to $6.25 per hundredweight, they will average a net profit of $4 for each ewe in the flock, and if the ewes are valued at $4 each, it will be seen that the profit is 100 oer cent. I have many times sold $9 worth from a ewe, besides the fleece, and one of my ewes has netted me $15 a year for four years.

I have 20 now that I fully expect to net me $10 each. They are worth about $10 each and this is 100 per cent. Just think of this, brethren, 20 ewes consuming the same as 2 cows and netting $200 above all expense. How would about 40 such ewes strike you? J. Clarence Norton, in Kansas Farmer.

The writer of the Above is figuring on too high a market. Pick up the Kansas City market reports and where you find one quotation over $5.50 you will find many' way below that. Then again, look at that last statement, "twenty ewes consuming as much as 2 cows." That must refer to animals with a very poor appetite, for twenty sheep ought to cat as much as four cows? This is not toclairn, that there is HQ profit in sheep, such figures are misleading an, better to under: stato rqtljcr tljarj overstate, A Good Thought. Much of our talk with children and older folk on religious matters falls fruitless because it is left indefi-nate. Little Marjorie is by no means fond of going to church.

She has to sit too still, and "the man'' talks a-bout things she cannot yet "What's it for, mother she asked one day. "What do you go for?" Mother tried to tell her the reason, and concluded by saying: "And when you can't understand what the minister means, you must remember he is talking about good and beautiful things, and you must make, up your mind to think of something good yourself. That day Marjorie was very quiet in church, and her mother praised her for it (in the way home. "I did just as you told me," said the wee thought of something good." What was it, dearie?"
