The Ismay shearing plant turqed in its first clip to the local woolhouse on June 12th, and finished up its work on July 7th. The shearing operations have been conducted by S. Blachely, of Yakima, Wash., whose force of as sistants numbering about fifteen were in charge of Harry Hill, as foreman. It is estimated that about 45,000 of sheep were sheared • here, and vory close to a half a million pounds of wqpl brought to the wool warehouse in this town, as representing the clips of the Tee Dee and Ismay plants. The aver age number of sheep clipped per day per man was from 150 to 200, which at 10c per head made pretty good day's wages. Through the courtcsj of Agent R. R. Thiele, we give below, the number of pounds of wool sheared at the Tee Dee and Ismay plants and brought to the local woolhouse, as representing the clip of J911 in this vicinity: R. L.

Hamilton Jpr .4,792 IvIcLean & ti^moureaux J.2,578 Hamilton & Wright §>145 It is problematical whether or not the local shearing pen yyill be operat ed or not next summer, as the fencing of farms throughout the country has made it a difficult matter for the herd ers to bring their flocks in, especially long distances. The number of sheep sheared here this season fell consider ably short of that of last year, and yit while many owners are reducing the size of their bapds because of the lack of range, the sheep business will con tinue to be in the future as it has in the pg.§t, one of the greatest factors in the commercial life of our state, and Custer county’s leading industry. All through eastern Montana are large tracts of land unfit for agricutural pur poses which with their personal hold ings, will evpr give the owners ample range for thousands of sheep. j At present the wool market is in ' a rather unsettled condition and the! buyers inactive, due likely to the fact that the eastern manufacturers are awaiting the result of the “ pending legislation affecting tho tariff on wool. While a large number of buyers for eastern firms are gathered at Miles City, their activities are directed ip the main toward organizing a ballteam among themselvos and enjoying the national game. What the final out come will be is hard to determine, but it is safe to say that this unsatisfac tory condition of the wool market will prevail until Congress decisively of legislation concerning the wool sched ule. DIPLOMACY IN THE HOTEL Some People Might Oall It Lying, but tho Guest Was Quite Satisfied, \Sometimes It is an awkward mat ter to get a temporary tenant out of a suite that has been promised for a certain day,” a hotel managei said, “and you have to use diplomacy In Buch a case. Occasionally lying Is necessary. “A man from San Francisco came to us in the busy season and the only thing we could do for him was to de tach a room with bath from a suite that was promised for the next day. He was to stay over only one night, anyhow, we understood. But he did not leave and the family we expected came in. I was In a quandary, but as the San Franciscan was downtown 1 had his clothes and baggage moved out to a room upstairs that fortunately fell vacant. When he came In I thought for a moment and then I said: ‘I am sorry, Mr. X, but I have had to move your things out of that room.’ ” ‘Why was that?’ ho demanded, flaring up. “ ’We discovered that the celling was leaking.’ ‘“ Good gracious! My clothes didn’t get wet, did they?” he demanded. “He was much relieved when I as sured him that they didn’t; so much so that he made no kick at all.”—New York Sun. Last Thought Was His Mother. To prevent his aged mother from being shocked by his terrible injuries sustained In an accident, John Grady of Belfast, when carried to his home the other day, began to sing with apparent light-heartedness. He was a lineman, and while repairing some wlreB a current of 4,000 volts was ac cidentally turned Into them. Both of Grady's arms were burned off near the elbow, and one leg was burned to the bone before he was rescued. As he was being carried into his home he sang \Top o’ the Mornln’,” a favorite song of his aged mother. She came down to meet him, and he called to her cheerily that he had been' slightly burned, and spared her the Bhock aB much as he could. He died a few hours later. Josh Billings. The quaint spelling that helped to make \Josh Billings” famous was nat ural to him. “Josh” was not an edu cated man in the academic sense, and w bb a poor speller to the last When' he started out in the humorous line he observed that the way in which he put together his wordB—a style that he followed simply because he knew no other—tickled the people and helped to sell hiB writings, and like the wise, sensible than that he was, despite his. literary deficiencies, he stuck to It to ' the end. • Of course, had there not been' the keenest, wit, humor and sat ire behind the. \outlandish” spelling,-, he would have\ twisted the king’s Eng-- Ush In vain.
