Talking OF pets," said Mrs. John 8.
Loud, 'when we wero stationed at
Fort Davis, in Texas, one of the Cap
tain's Mexicans came TO the door one
day with something under his arm.
Madame, me got presento por Ia

"Hc placed a soft bundle Of fur In my
arms and ran away laughing. II was
q black boar cub a week old, and IL
nestled up to me and purred like kit
ten l put II in the crib with Mabel,
my little daughter, and brought 1t up
on bottle. We called her Nellie,
and she became the pet Of the regi-
ment. She would come and look up
into my face and whine until | took her
up, when she would hug and kiss me
and show every mark OF affection. We
had Nellie until she was eight months
old. / was afraid 10 let her sleep in
the crib then, as she was fond OF rolling
over. and was very heavy. AT the lest
we dared not keep her in the house.
One day she wound herself up in the
clothes line around a post, and became
furious She would not let the men go
near her, and the Captain ordered her
shot. We all felt sorry TO lose her, but
were afraid of her.
"Our uext pet was an antelope that
was nursed and reared by a goat. This
was .eetty, gentle thing, and we
kept IL long time, but IL finally went
the way Of all pets. Then some OF
the Mexicans captured n wildcat. II
was only kitten and we raised 1t, but
its nature soon showed itself. II would
get into a hammock under the roof and
hang thero for hours, and no one would
dare TO molest IL. We had also a
family OF gophers at one time. They
would make holes In the earth and bur-
row into them and we would drown
them out, but at last they disappeared.
Then we had California quail named
'Chula' (sweet) that was as tame as q
cat. When strangers came to the fort
she would come TO me, and as soon as
/ took her up she would hide her head
and be perfectly contented She would
run in the ehapparel all day, and at
night come into the house and sleep
under one Of the beds.
"But the prettiest thing 1 had" said
Mrs. Loud with a sigh OF regret, "was
a chihuahua dog, which when full
grown could sleep in the palm Of my
band. 1t only lived a year, and when
it died we laid il in q candy boS, and
gave It grave on the hillside In
that country we pet every living thing
we can find. and amuse ourselves ~
our lonely homes. Our last pet was
an armadillo. We used TO watch him
rolling away after the curious manner
Of his species, and that was the last
memory he left us, for one day he
rolled out OF sight, and we never saw
him again. Detroit Free Press.
