MORROW COUNTY SHEEP.
Henry Scherzinjter, stock msDeetor
of Morrow county, has completed his
inspection of all sheep in the county,
and foand ' them eeneiallv in a
healthful condition. He found a total
of 214,547 sheep residing in Morrow
county, and it took five
hundreds of miles of riding to complete
the inspection. .
Mr, Scherzineer found 37,000 showing
slight symptoms of scab, and their
owners have dipped them as a pre
cautionary measure. ;

" THE DESERTED HOUSE.
With Bagging door and staring window-place,
suuKen rooi, it stands among its trees
Befriended by the boughs that iDterlacn
Between it and the 1 ght ghost-footed breeze.
Poor human nest, how desolately torn
Yet In these ragged rooms young children
And on this floor all broken and forlorn
The baby with the sunshine daily crept.
oee where some older ' Tom" and "Susie"stood,
auu maricea their names a yard space from
me Kruuna: : .
That little height, when all of sweet and good
niuun me narrow plot of home is found.
Such tiny sleoplng rooms, with spsce for naught
nAtopt pmce 10 aress, a place to dream,
A book, a little shelf, agood-nigbt thought
cnuaisa treasure brought from field or
Btream,
(Jpon this kerbstone, picked bit by bit
The grass that grew before the cottage door,
The six-months' baby sat examining it
As one who ne'er had seen its like before.
Here by the window in her willow chair,
The mother sewed and sanir a low rufrof,.
Are those the patohes from her piece-bag there?
, y,xney are loaves that blew in with the
rain.
Ah, come away! Some woman's youth lies here
some man's fair childhood dead but won
drous sweet:
Some heart this cot has sheltered holds it dear,
auu nas it with old loves and Joys complete.

"Men in Alaska get to know death,

know wheather he has been called

men's faces, and you learn to read
whether death or life is written
there. Many a poor fellow you
