lost her baby the sheep Is usually set down for a model of stupidity but a gentle man who has just returned from a three years trip in the west tells the following story I 1 was on horse back a great part of the time and often visited large sheep ranches one day while riding along a mother sheep trotted up to my horse bleat ing pitifully at last I 1 made out that there was something wrong off toward the left I 1 followed the sheep in that direction and soon found the cause of her distress her lamb had fallen into a shallow pit and could not get out I 1 lifted the little thing up and the gratitude in the mother sheep a eye will always be a source of bonso conso lation to me
