Thirty Thousand Driven 1,000 Miles Acrom the Plain.. Mr. Charles Taylor, a herder for Mr. It. II. Daly, of On) aim, Neb., onco drove 30,000 Bheep from Santa Fc, N. M., to Stevenson, Neb., a distance of 1,000 miles, and in this article tells how he did It: Wo had 18,000 Iambs and 12,000 weth ers. The lambs were run lu six bauds, with a herder In charge of each. Then we had two cooks and two foremen. New Mexico Is nlways a dry region, and the spring had been unusually dry, so that the grass was not very good and the dust something terrible. Dust, by the way, is always the worst feature of the trail. The cloud that hangs over the (lock looks, from a distance, like the smoke from a prairie fire. Our faces were black -most of the time. Wo I . ; t 'H I CHIEF HKItDEn CHAHI.f.S TAYLOn. nil wore eye shields of tinted Isinglass to protect our eyes, otherwise some of ub might have gone bllnds After wc passed Lns Vegas, some fifty miles from Siintit Vc, we began to descend from the high levels to the lower plains, nml tho hills were nlmost Impassable. Often It seemed as If our heavy wagon must go cud over end on top of the mules. Horses could never have de scended at nil with a load; but mules are more sure-footed. We had heavy ropes which we tied to tho hind axle of the wagon, and when it deep descent was made all hands held on to tho ropes us long us possible. Then we would yell to the cook to "let her go." Ho would lay on the whip, and away the mules would dash as If racing for life. It would lmvo been an nwful business If one of the mules hud fallen, but fortunately they never did. Krom Las Vegas on Into Colorado the grass wns burned brown with drought, uud water was scarce. O courso wo had to depend on ponds or. streams for our water smmly. Some) of It was pretty thick "thick enough," tho boys snld, "to carry In n guuny sack." Hut a man Is not nt all particu lar when ho Is "on tho trail." Sheep aro not grent drinkers, and can do with out water If there aro heavy dows on the grass. Hut on this occasion tho air was so dry that dows were very light, uud much of tho time there wcro none at all. Tho sheep hud beeu llvo days without water when wo approached tho Cnnadlnu Itlver. Wo were fully a nillo from tho bank when tho poor uul nuils scouted tho water and stampeded. Wo did our best, but wo might ns well have tried to stop tho wind. In ouo mini whlrllug rush, gathering speed as thoy went, tho bands crowded together nud reached tho river In a dense, strug gling mass. Thoy plunged In, climbing over each other, and piling up until It looked ns If we might lose them, all. We, of course, plunged after them, tow ing, drngglug, and throwing sheep out of tho river, until every mau was qulto exhausted. When wo got tho flock-out of tho tanglo wo found thero were no fewer than 800 lambs drowned. Mr, Martin rodo back to warn tho other out lit to hold their bands nt a safe distance from tho, river and brlug on ouo band nt a time'. This was done, uud so they wero able to get across without loss. Wo followed no roads, but struck out across open country wherever forage was good. At night wo always tried to flntl hllUldo for tho enmp. Sheep havo a great mauy peculiar notions, uud will ouly lie down qulotly on a hill side. Wo made ouly about eight miles a tiny, as we gave tho sheep plenty of time to gruse; but wo herders walked and ran several times that distance. Wo were always tired enough to crawl into our tarpaulins at dark, and wo lost no time In going to sleep. It was early summer when we start ed, and wo kept oh through midsum mer lu tho dry hent and alkali dust till the grass was browned by frost. Across Nebraska we took tho strnlgutest lino for tho Platto Itlver to get water. We reached the river opposltoNorth Platte the very first towu I had seen In a Jour ney' of 000 miles. For tho rest of our trip something over 100 miles we slg-xagged back and forth across tho river, avoiding the towns and lulntlug for forage. On one 'occasion wo ap proached a large corntleld, aud found that we could save three miles by going through It Instead of round. Martin said, simply, "Take 'em through," and we did. On the farther side stood a man with a shotgun waiting for us. "What's the damage?" asked Mr, Martin. "Twenty dollars, and not a cent less," answered the farmer. Martin paid him the money, and on we west. ilkrW m i(k i i'lWQBlS' irV i WITH THIS SMALL OUTFIT TIli'KN ACCOMPLISHED TIIK DU1VK. thi W reached tho little town of Ster son on tho evening of the last day of September Just live months from the day we started. The second bunch had overtaken us, and we went through thi town with our twenty-nine thousand odd sheep. The fog of dust we raised nearly smothered the town. The sheep came through their l.OOu mile drive In good condition much bet ter Uian If they had been "shipped" In. Since that time many other Bheep men have followed this exnmple and trailed In their sheep. A GIGANTIC SUNDAY SCHOOL. Ilie Bchool ot Btockport, KnirlniiU, One of tlio i.uriceat oud oldest. "The Greatest Sunday school In the World" Is the subject of un article lu the Woman's Homo Compaulou by Hello M. Brain, dealing with tho fa mous school of Stockport, Englaud. Tho following excerpt gives somo Idea of this Immense institution: "On a high hill, In the midst of the most thickly populnted portion of the city of Stockport, Euglaud, stands an Immense four-story brick building, at onco the prldo of tho town and the Mec ca of Suuday school pilgrims from ev ery quarter of tho globe. This is the world-renowned Stockport Sunday school, famous alike for Its gigantic size and Its remarkable history, extend ing over a period of 110 years. With a present enrollment of over 5,000, and a total record of 0,085 teachers and 105,1)00 scholars trained within Its walls, 'Its achievements arc without n parallel in the annals of Sunday school effort. "Members of tho school are now widely scattered In all parts of the world, and It Is interesting t know that hundreds of them havo crossed tho Atlantic to make America their home. Tho most notable of tho old pupils re siding In this country Is Mr. Thomas W. Weathered, n retired merchant of New York City, whose devotion to the school Is so great that for thirty-one consecutive summers ho hna crossed tho ocean to take part In the anniver sary of tho laying of Its corner-stone. "TliU fnmnin limtlliitlnn ilntes back to 1781, four years after Robert Itnllu began his notable experiment In Sooty Alley. It witH originally estobllshed for the children of tho laboring poor, whose condition was nt that time pitiful In the extreme. In the early days teachers were employed nt tho mto of one shll- Hug nud sixpence n Sunday, aud there wore two tesHlons, lasting from 0 o'clock In the morning to 1'J, nud from 1 o'clock to tho hour of afternoon wor ship, when the pupils were conducted to cither church or chnpcl, returning again to the school until U o'clock. The curriculum embraced not only niblo study, but reading, "writing and spell ing, arithmetic being added In tho case of a few who distinguished themselves by dlllgenco and good behavior." IN A HORSESHOEING PARLOR Modern Port of Hlnckattiltti' Shop In Which No Farue ! Used. A blacksmith's shop without a forge fieeuiH a novelty, Indeed, but Ukvo are several lu operation. In these shops there Is applied n patent horseshoe made of a special steel which Is soft fuough to permit of its being ham mered aud shaped, as far ax may be necessary, without heating. Thero, are auvlls here, aud .hammers are used, so that thctiu time-honored accessories! of tho blacksmith's shop still remain here, but there Is no Ore, no bellows, with a grimy, Bwarthy, sjalwart blacksmith swaying qn tho handle with ooo hand, while he geutly pokes tho burning con! In tho forgo with the other. There Is no smoke here and no flying spnrkii, nor is there tho long, fnmlllar odor of the bunting hoof wheu the hot shoe is laid against it. These places are horseshoe Ijtg parlors. One of these horseshoeing shops occu pied a loug room that wns designed for a store lu a building that stands on a corner. The shop proper, occupying tho greater part of the space, opened on the side street. Tho otllce, or reception room, of tho horseshoeing parlor, at the front eud of the store, occupies a square of space of tho width of the building, and runuing buck about twenty feet, where au otllco railing Is placed, divid ing tho reception roptu from the black smith shop. Ou tho floor of the otllce, or recep tion room, there is a $200 rug; there are comfortable chairs about, for visitors or for customers wnttlng; there Is a desk for tho manager, and there are potted pnlms. And all this Is separ ated from the shop Itself only by that otllce railing across the lutter end ol this reception room, beyond which one sees down the length of the shop men busily eugaged shoeing horses lu thli blacksmith's shop without a Are.
