In company with the owner OF large farm In
one Of the Western States, we were riding horse
back through heavily timbered tract Of land,
where there were great numbers OF nut-bearing
trees, aud innumerable hogs in store condition
could be seen roofing among the leaves for nuts,
under every clump Of trees. While passing near
Q creek where the ground was low and level, we
came among large numbers OF immense syca-
more or cottonwood trees, our companion halt
ed before the shattered remains of an old mon
arch. The stump was about thirty feet high, and
from ak to ten feet in diameter 1T the base.
This stump was hollow. with an opening i've or
six feet high ut one side, which WAS now stop
ped up with logs and large stones. Here"
said the farmer, ''is the scene Of q tragedy that
occurred last fall.
cold storm OF sleet and rain came on, that
forced the hogs to seek shelter wherever they
could lind It, and would be afraid to tell you
how many got into tLat old stump: they climbed
ON top OF one another. until they crushed the
life out OF tho bottom ones, and when we found
them, there were no less than dozen. big and

WAR ON DRESSED BEEF.

\ convention of Eastern butchers has
been in session in st. Louis during the
past week. They are said to have met
for the purpose of d~evising means for the
destruction of the dressed beef industry.
Their object is to prevent the shipment of
dressed meat from Chicago to the Eastern
cities, where it is sold for one-third less
than the meat killed and dressed by the
local butchers.
This convention sought to turn back
ward the wheels of enterprise and progress.
If a convention of old time sickle manu-
manufacturers should be held to protest
against the manufacture OF reaping ma
chimes, it would resemble that of the
butchers who are trying to down the
dressed beefindustry.
The shipment of dressed beef from the
West to the East is one of the improve
mcnts with which our enlightened and
progressive civilization has blessed the
people of this age. 1t will live in spite Of
protests and of strikers, toycotters and
conspirators of all classes.

PRESIDENT GLEN
NETUES.

The disposition shown by the preSi-
dent to scan private pensions bills with as
severe scrutiny as the duties OF his posi-.
ton will permit is a laulable one. 1t is
also encouraging as indicating his posi-
BILE action in case some OF the many PEN
sion schemes now partially through CON
gress should come before him for sigma
tnre. There can be but one opinion
among the people as to the necessity of
calling a halt upon the proposed reckless
ness with which congress proceeds to dis
pose of practically all the available re
sources OF the country for a generation to
come. Not a voice is raised or ought to
be- raised against a generous provision for
those who were injured or disabled in the
defense of their country. This govern
ment has adopted the most liberal pension
policy ever heard Of in the history of ma
tons, aud it has done 50 with the cordial
approval of those who pay the taxes. But

the entire national assets for the purpose
OF bidding for the soldier vote, it is time

Of the private pension bills are. has been

The name OF this place is pronounced

native remarked. This is authentic and
taken on the spot. Whatever the inhabi-
tants call a place is the name OF that
place, no matter il it is spelled with eleven

ever a man or family calls himself or itself,
is the name thereof; though, like one OF
the nobl families of Virginia, they spell
1t Taliaferro and call it Toliver. But that
