. LaFox, 111., May 11, 1S97,
Editor Chronicle:
I thought I would drop you a line, as
I have lots of time here at LaFox, and
it may be of some interest to some, of
my friends.
' I left Columbus, Nebraska, where
. had been feeding sheep about three
weeks ago and brought them down here
to be shorn with the shearing machine
or clippers. There has been over 30,000
eheep shorn here with this machine this
' spring and to the satisfaction of every
body. Although they can't shear more
sheep with the clippers than by hand,
there is one big advantage. They won't
cut the sheep up so badly as with the
shears and we get more wool oJ the
eheep. I think the clippers will be used
out West in a few years instead of.
shears, provided our present adminis
tration is friendly to the sheep industry,
as they had promised before the election.
If not, then it won't pay to shear the
eheep any more, with wool at 5 or 6 cts
per pound, either by hand or by clip
pers. Well, I expect to get through
feeding here soon and will market my
sheep just as soon aa the market gets
better, as it has been very dull for tbe
past three weeks, and then I will come
out to Oregon again' to breathe some
. mountain air tor a few months. I hear
that some of the Eastern sheep buyers
got wild on Oregon sheep this spring
and paid rather stiff prices for some.
wen, tnere was quite a little money
made all through the country among the
sheep and cattle feeders this season, but
the- prospects are that some of them
will lose it again next winter. Tbe way
they paid for eheep and the big amount
of sheep which are going to. be ted next
winter again, will surely keep the prices
down. I remain yours truly,
Otto Kohlbk.

' A Bloundhonnd'a Keen Scent.
A Yemarkable exhibition of the keen
ness of scent of the bloodhound was
given at the little tawn of Bronsbn, in
Allen county, the other day. The town
recently appropriated $100 out of the
city treasury for the purchase of one of
these animals, the purpose being' the
detection and capture of thieves who
were operating in the neighborhood,
and a test of the hound was considered
desirable. At nocn three men started
out on foot and walked four miles into
the country. Then they mounted horses
and by a. circuitous route returned to
the town. Six hours later the hound
was permitted to sinell a plovc which
had been worn by one of the men, and
the next instant with a deep howl he
caught up the trail and followed it on
the run. At one point the men had
walked for 30 yards on a fence, oncl
when the hound came to this point he
carried his nose along the rail with
hardly, any reduction of speed. Comicg
to the place (where the men had. mount
ed, he took up the trail of the horses
and followed it into town, where, in a
crowd of more than 100 men, he picked
out the one whose glove had been given
him to smell. Kansas City Journal.

A Newspaper Man's
Trying Ex-
perienco in Chicago.
Delnsr Unale to Obtain Employment
He Lives for Six Slonths
on ?70 How He Man-r-v-aired
It. ,. 3
" Six months ago a newspaper man
came to Chicago to get work on one of
the big papers here. Like many another
man from the country he thought that
the fact thai lie was head and shoulders
above the other newspaper men in his
little town was proof that he was able
to stand the keen competition in Chi
cago. But he found that the places
were filled, and that there were at least
SO per cent, more pegs than holes. He
was determined not to go back o his
little town, so he remained in Chicago
in the hope than he would get a place.
. Meanwhile he had no money what
ever and had to practice the closest
economy. He wrote five or 6ix columns
of copy each .week and tried to sell the
stories to the Sunday papers. Now and
then he sold something, but his income
during the six months was not more
than $2.50, his total earnings for that
period, in fact, being only $70. Never
theless he managed to live without bor
rowing any money, for he had no friends
in Chicago from whom hecouid borrow,
and he was too proud to write home
for money. Instead he wrote home
Lglowing talcs of the progress which he
was making and told of the advantages
of newspaper work in a big city and its
consequent rewards.
Few people would believ that a man
could live in Chicago for six months on
$70, but he did it. Of course he did not
dine at a fashionable restaurant. He
ate his meals on Clark street nt some
sacrifice of his pride, but without the
knowledge cf any cf his acquaintances.
No one would know where he ate, for
none -cf the men whom he saw during
the clay would go to such a place. His
meals usually cost him five cer.ts each,
and they were good meals, in quantity,
li in uui.iuj.
You can buy a luxurious breakfast on
Clark street for five cents. It will con
sist cf three eggs, bread, butter and
coffee, and anyone inclined to doubt
the statement can go and try the meals.
The places arc easily found. There are
always big signs outside of "them con
taining names of the articles of food and
the prices. For five cents he bought
his dinner, which consisted of any kind
cf meat, potatoes, bread and coffee. A
similar bill of faraatthe same expense
formed his supper. Sometimes he
would pay ten cents for his dinner and
then he would get two more vegetables
and some pie for dessert. Thus his
meals cost 15 cents a day, or $1.05 a
week.
He slept in a ten-cent lodging house in
the same room with a half dozen other
men. The beds were small, but he al
ways slept soundly, and none of the
inmates knew him. They were not in
quisitive and were too much bothered
by their own troubles to care to ask his.
Seventy cents a 'week was the cost of
his. lodgings. This was a total of $1.75
for a week's board and lodging. His
other fixed expenses were for tobacco,
newspapers and writing paper. He
smoked a pipe, the tobacco costing ten
cents a week. Ho had to buy i couple
of newspapers each day. which meant
25 cents a week, although sometimes he
would look at those in the reading-
rooms of the libraries. His copy paper
cost him only ten. cents a week, leaving
a margin cf 30 cents.
The enly drawback about sleeping in
a ten-cent lodging house was that there
was no place afforded in, which to write,
but he used to go to the public or New
berry library and do his writing there,
where there are ample facilities. Most
of his time was spent in traveling
around on the streets looking for good
Sunday stories.
Such was the life he led for six
months. A few weeks ago he was given
a place as a space writer on the city
staff. Now he earns $10 or $12 a week,
and he is able to live more luxuriously.
But the reporter is now willing to be
lieve, as he knows by practical experi
ence, that a man who can make two or
three dollars a week need not starve in
a big' city. Chicago Times-Herald.

MILK. A KUTRiTIVE.
A Medical Man tVlta Insisted for Thir
ty. I3ajs ca It.
A medical man expresses the belief
that a person could live for any length
of time and take heavy exercise all the
while on no other food-thaii sweet milk,
His conviction is the result of personal
experiment. .
lie wanted to establish the fact that
persons convalescing' from sickness
may grow stronger with no other nutri
ment than sweet milk, and that they are
not obliged to take "something solid"
to eat, as sojnany people imagine. He
holds that many a convalescent has
gone into his grave as a result of over
taxing his weak stomach by putting
"soLid" food into' it, and he maintained
that the old belief as to bread being the
first essential of human life is shown
by his experiment to be erroneous. .
His test was to live 30 days with only
sweet milk as a nourishment. In the
whole timeiielost5 pounds in weight,
but no strength. ' He even attributes
the loss of weight to the warmth of the
weather and to excessive exercise on the
bicycle and the daily manipulation of
lG-pound dumbbells and pther heavy
weights. He took more exercise than
usual in. order to test the tiling fairly.
On the seventh day of the experiment
he ran several fast races in. a skillful
manner, but was beaten in each race.
On the thirtieth day iie again pitted
himself against the same runner and
got the best of his opponent, which cer
tainly would tend to confirm his state
ment that "he lost no strength during
the 30 days' test. lie drank four pints
of milk daily for the last week. He
thinks a healthy person should take
about five pints of milk daily when' no
other food is being taken. His practice
was to drink .milk at intervals of two
hours during the day, commencing at-1
seven o'clock in the morning and con
tinuing until ten at night. After that
he would. take no more until the next
morning. St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
