WILD PIG WHICH sNACKs HIS LIPS AFTER
TOSSING OLE Ills WHISKY.

A
TOSSING OFF HIS wHlsKEY.
from the San Antonio Light
An esteemed contributor sends the fol-
lowing interesting communication to the
Lioht: Jack was found in the woods near
Lytle Station, on the international, south
OF San Antonio, by Mr.. Y. NJ. Mcdaniel,
some time last summer, and presented by
that gentleman TO Mr.. f. 5. Bellamy,
agent for the International at that
station. 1t was supposed to he about
three weeks old when caught. 1
Will keep you in suspense no longer; the
Hon. Jack is neither more nor less than a
javelin or young wild hog. Mr.. Belamy
had the curiosity and the patience to try
his training skill on him, and on applica-
ton Ae found him an apt scholar. He per-
severed, and at the end OF one month not
only was he an efficient body-guard by day
but a faithful sentinel by night. Mr. Bel
lamy is a very active and accommodating
gentleman. and has been a long time in the
company's employ, yet in his varied duties
you will find Jack at his heels, and he will
allow no one to come between him and his
body.
When seated at the desk he lies down at
Mr.. Belamy's feet and will allow no one
to touch him. At night Jack follows Mr..
Bellamy to his bedside, and il he cannot
manage, by stealth or otherwise, to get
into the bed, he will lie down beside the
bed and there remain quiet until morning,
unless some intruder steps into the room,
when he will dart at him with all the fero-
city OF his wild nature. Few who intrude
on him unwittily once ever wish TO try
tbeir hand a second time. vet il not
molested he is perfectly gentle. At the
table he stands at his masters side and re-
ceiyes q portion OF anything that he eats.
and he is not particular what it is. He Is
vertable tlppler and likes his whskey
and beer and any other strong drink.
After drinking whiskey he Will smack his
lips and give signs for more. Any person
who has ever seen a iayein can imagine
what graceful figure he cuts with his I'M
shapely body, with the whiskey-giass IN
his mouth.
But a short time ago three cayOtes came
on the platform at the station in the middle
OF the night. Jack jumped up and stood
between his master and the cayotes and
kept them at bay until one OF the Transport
tation-men woke up and asked what was
the matter. Mr.. Belamy said it was
only cayote5; that Jack would take
care OF them, and rolled over and
went to sleep again. One day later
Jack got up into the bed beside the
baby. He licked his face and then laid
down beside it and kept the flies off. Jack
has got many tricks, but the most impor-
tant thing that strikes the observer is the
strong attachment he has for his master.
