WRIGLEYS EVERY ABOUT MIGGLES’ ALLEY By HERMAN BROWNSON THE 1 Probably one FLAVOR k LASTS popularity of comrade, and, convinced that this wns no fills® alarm, rushed Into th® engine house. A moment later the Street b®- low resounded with the ruiubl® of truck», the whang of gongs, nnd the rush of the surging crowd. In this focal point of cosmopolitan New York, where a quarter of a million people uro located within it stone's throw of a common center, the element® of a stirring scene are always at hand. At the aound of the alarm, Chinamen crept from their basement bunks In Mott street—reeking with opium and dazed by the noise; long-haired He brews tumbled Into the alley from their sweat shops; swarthy Italians come pell-mell from their hovels; and the Arab lost tils fez, which. In the surging crowd, was trampled under foot By the time that the engines «nd hook-and-ladder company reached the alley they found It jammed with a mass of excited humanity, whose eyes were focused upon a tiny white bundle that swayed In mid air, 70 feet above the pavement At once the firemen realized that they had been diip*>d; but the necessity for effort did not escape them. Up shot the great lad ders, one above another, and then an agile rescuer began the swift ascent. The crowd cheered In a babel of tongues; but as the climber reached the last few rounds. and began cre^p- Ing out over the slender • threads toward the precious prize, a hush fell u|>on the multitude. Now he was al- moat there—now he stood directly under the dangling mite—now he put forth his hard with extremes! caution. The crowd st od on tiptoe. Not a soul breathed. Then, just as the strong hand touched the hem of the little frock, the child began straggling once more, thia time so violently that. In the very moment of apparent safety, it slipped from the noose and fell. In that moment even the hardened faces of the multitude below, accus tomed to sights of all degrees of dan ger and wickedness, blanched with ter ror ; eyes bleared by drink or opium were shudderingly averted from the awful scene that seemed Inevitable. Meantime the tiny bundle of humanity. In Its wild plunge downward, struck a rope stretched acrons the alley hang- Ing full of wet clothes. The strand broke with the strain, and the child was lost In the flying mass of white. A few stray rags fluttered down—but the baby—? It had disap peared Ilk® a wrnlth. Strong arms out stretched to make a desperate effort to catch the flying wulf fell helpless nt mnny n side. The vnst crowd stood speechless, dumfounded. An Instnnt later a deaf old Irish woman In the second-story tenement looked up from her work nnd gnve a shrill cry of surprise as she saw crawl ing through the window that led from the fire-escape where she had just laid her feather-bed to air, an almost naked child with scarlet bars around Its little body. "By all the saints to gether!” she cried, dropping on her knees, “if thot kid didn't rain down from heaven oil! nlver say another pather noster as long as I live!” And it took the combined eloquence of Shingles and his distracted mother to convince the old lady of the child's earthly origin. 18 real name was Tlin O Hngnn. but In Higgle®' alley he waa familiarly known us Shingles.

One of the first problems that comes up before the farmer who Is interested in the proposition, is the advantage® and disadvantages of sheep There sre several advantages in raising sheep, and with a little rare moat of the disadvantages can be overcome. In general, sheep ralo- Ing will pay provlded the sheep are given proper attention, says L. V. Starky, chief of the animal husban- dry division at Clemson college, who gives below some of the advantages and disadvantages that the farmer may expect to find In sheep. The outstanding advantage of the sheep Industry Is that they re<iulre less grain than any other clasa of live stock. This does not mean that steep can get along without feed. There are times when they must have plenty of feed. A good grade of le gume bay Is one of the most satis factory feeds. Sheep will consume about 90 per cent of the weeds and bushes grown In the ordinary pasture. la this way they make the pastures better. They also spread their manure over the parts of the pastures which need It most They seem to like to occupy the spots which are too poor to grow grass. There are two money cro >s, the lambs and the wool. It Is of en the case that the wool will pay for the feed and the lambs are clear profit If the lambs come early they will bring a goo) price on the market vlsea*es, parasites and do» are the three drawbacks to the s! cep in dustry. Diseases and parasit. * may be controlled to a certain ex ent by changing pastures frequency. If sheep are brought up Into n lot at nights dogs are not likely to bother them. Dogs very seldom attack sheep In the day time.
