Instead of go- into the homes of the town the cats | took to the back alleys, and the hu mane officer took the enterprising ad vertiser before the police judge, who i imposed a fine upon h’m in restraint ' of further like exhibitions of ad\ r ertis- ; ing genius.

After giving an entertainment at the International hotel such as that hostelry of many grandeurs had never before seen they went to Europe for two years. When they came back they were still the teamster and the washerwoman. Europe had added no veneer. But the money was still in plenty. “Money lo throw to the birds,” as the old man was wont to say. Nevada was more to the^ir taste than anywhere else, so they elected to remain there, and that strange monument of wealth, which is known all through Nevada and Cali fornia tts the Bowers mansion, was built on the shore of Washoe lake. The site was one of extraordinary beauty, with the wall of snow capped Sierra behind it, the sapphire sweep of i water in front. Money was never con sidered in its construction. It was i built of quarried stone and furnished with the costliest San Francisco could supply. A library of books with San dy’s name on every volume was one"of j Its features. The door handles were of silver, the table furnishings the tin- j est to be had at that place at that time. Here the old people—for they were getting old—settled and dispensed a lavish hospitality. Here an adopted child whom they dearly loved and had named Persia died. Hero, too. later on Sandy died and was buried in the gar den under flic* shadow of the Sierra.

The flocks are in fine condition physically and the average price commanded by their avoo! for the three years is 20 cents, or a little more than $2 per head each year. In this connection | Mr. Archer is quoted as saying: “I knew that the Merino breed never failed in any country as the basic, foundation of the sheep business, | either for wool, or eventually, mutton, and I did not believe our Southland would form any exception. Now, my judgment, experience and work are in harmony when I assert that T was j right and am right yet about this all- important consideration of the sheep business, with a heavy, fine wool growing sheep, with wool as a fun damental prerequisite, with a univer sally known, healthy sheep and a prof itable mutton business as a natural sequence.” The wool crop of Georgia has been recently attracting much attention.
