Making n Hog Happy.

We were sitting in front of Taylor's
grocery on a summer day, when big
black hog came nOsing along the gut
ter and started new train of thought.
In the crowd of loungers was man
from st. Louis, and, after watching
the porker for awhile, he remarked:
Il wonder if that hog ever had a real
good time in all his life. -
''Hogs allus have a good time. l
guess remarked the village cooper,
who had knocked off work and come
over to hear some politics.
Il doubt it, said the other. ''He
must feel his degraded position in
life, and so he can not be happy.
wish could do something to make him
feel that life is worth the living"
''Fust man ever saw who pitied a
hogH grunted the blacksmith, who
ought to have been tacking shoe on
a waiting mule.
Yes, do pity him. | have been
down myself and know how it is.
Taylor, have you got any cherry whis-
Mighty little, if any. More cherries
I than whisky, guess''
"lf you've got two quarts of cherries
which have been in liquor, bring EN-
out. and I'll give you half dollar.
I'm going to make that hog happy for
| two hours"
The grocer got the cherries, which
had been lying in liquor for couple
of years, and the st. Louis man poured
them out into the gutter for the hog.
They were devOured with astonishing
avidity, and the pOrker stood and
looked at us and hungered for more
1t was doubted by some if the liquor
would affect him, but after few min
utes he began to frisk and play, and
was evidently under the Influence
THAT does me good" said the donor
of the cherries. He is becoming
light-hearted, and life will now take
on new charms to him. Hang a man
who won't give 4 hog a show!'
Just then the animal uttered hoarse
'woofr' and charged for the crowd.
We scattered, and he entered the gro
Gerry, took two or three turns, and
shot out and down the street. Es-
quire Smith was coming up, and the
hog charged and upset him. He then
headed for a horse and buggy in front
of Snider's, crashed against the horses
hind legs, and in another moment
there was runaway. The widow
Watkins was sailing along with can
of Kerosene in her hand, and the hog
rolled her off the walk as if she had
been struck by a locomotive. He then
charged IL double team and started
them off, drove into Gaylor's dry goods
store and out, and the old man Sabin
turned in from Elm street just in time
to be lifted three feet high and rolled
into puddle.
Fifty men were out and after the
pOrker by this time, but he started an
other runaway, upset IL baby carriage,
and knocked the register of deeds over
his pins before we cornered him and
got a rope around a hind leg. Then
everybody was mad and wanted ven-
geance, but when they came to look
for the St. Louis man he had skipped.
He. however, left a message for the
public, saying to boy who had shin
ned up an awning-post to be out of
danger.
My son, if you haven't adopted a
motto yet, let me throw out one for
your digestion. 1t is: 'Give every
thing u fair show '"-Neeo York San.

Life in the Tropics.

Europeans in the tropics do nothing
for themselves which they are not
compelled to do, and at last almost
lose the power of exerting themselves
at all. A writer thus describes life at
one of the large hotels of Calcutta:
Every guest must have man OF
his own to perform the most trit1ing
service; then two men have to be en-
gagged to work the bedroom punkah,
one by day the other by night. In the
wide passage of the hotel you find
some of these men sitting OF lying
asleep till they are wanted.
"A sportsman hardly goes out with
out five attendants-one to carry his
gun until it is wanted, another the
ammunition and the third the dead
game. Number four would be re-
sponsible for refreshments, while the
fifth man would lead pony to. carry
the sportsman from cover to cover.
1t is impossible to conceive more
unhealthy life than that of many Eu-
ropvan ladies in India, who lie on
their couches all day and do absolute
ly nothing but think how hot 1t is and
how ill they are"

Why a Lady Burned Her Will.

A year or two since wealthy and
eccentric Boston lady, who was unde-
cided what to do with her money when
she should be done with it, saw on the
street young man whose face attract
ed her So strongly that sho turned and
followed him until she saw where he
lived-the distance, fortunately for
her, not being very great She had
inquiries made, found that he was a
young man just out of college who
had come to Boston to study medicine.
She contrived to see him several times
without his remarking ner, and each
time she became more and more con-
vinced that he was fellow of honor
and of great promise. In the end she
took him home and adopted him, to
the great Indignation of various peo-
pie who had been keeping careful
eye on the old lady's property with a
view to its going to certain charitable
institutions. In less than a year the
young man proved all the old lady's
skill in reading his face to have been
a delusion and Il snare by running
off with all her loose cash and lot of
her silver. She was too sensitive to
the scandal to have the matter follow
ed up legally, but she abandoned all
faith in physiognomy and burned her
will.-BOStO1t Letter.

Had Never Heard of Calvin.

Americans who have visited Geneva,
in Switzerland, will recall the church
of St. Pierre, one of the oldest in
Europe. Parts of the structure date
back Il thousand years. The edifice is
to be enlarged and partially rebuilt at
a cost of 800, 900. This is John Cal
wins old church.
Apropos, and as illustrating how
transient fame is, the writer of these
lines, being in Geneva II year ago,
asked the guide, Il bright and intelli-
gent young fellow who spoke English
we'll, If he knew Calvin's house.
Calvin" said he, "what was his
first name?"
why. John-John Calvin"
''What was his line?
''He was in the theological business,
and was prominent dealer"
He had never heard of him.-St,

Edison's latest triumph is the lin
guagraph, or shouter. 1t is designed
to take the place of the mysterious
code of whistles now in use on rail-
roads. The linguagraph-equipped To-
comOtive will not whistle ''brakes off,
o~ ''brakes on" but will give steam
shrieks closely resembling stentor-
ian utterance of the order desired.
The advantages of the invention are
not unmixed, even though it should
eventually call out the names of sta
tions, as predicted. The whistle of
the locomotive is bad enough, but
series of multi-toned shrieks will sure
lY 0e far worse GkObe- Democrat.

THE OPENING OF OKLAHOMA

/ Special Dispatch TO the GLOBE Democrat.
WASHINGTON, ID. e., March Is
The discovery that because Of the
omission OF the emergency clause
| the President eau not extend the
land over Oklahoma until after June
30 IL perpleXing the representatives
OF the would be colOnists. They see
no way 10 get around Il. They Will
make a suggestion to the Admins
tratiOn that to relieve the present
suspense on the border the Presi-
dent shall issue preliminary
proclamation stating the exact date
after the 3Oth Of June when he will
open the Greek and Seminole lands
to settlement and establish the
land offices provided. This, they
argue, will relieve the situation
somewhat, in that Il will let the
intending settlers know exactly
what they will have to depend upon.
They say the delay will be q great
disappointment, because the settlers
felt certain tie proclamation would
be issued before April I, aud had
made all preparations to put q crop
on their claims this year. As 10 II
now settled by the law that the
claims can not be taken up before
July l, or a. much later as the
Presidents proclamation may
designate, crops In Oklahoma this
year are out of the question. There
IL nothing for the intending settlers
Ia do but make this years crop In
Kansas, or wherever they may he
and wait patiently for the date 20 be
fixed after June 80 by the President
for entering Oklahoma.

Kansas city GlOt,e.
The newspapers that are Okla
hons crazy and large number Of
enthusiastic people whom they
have got into the same fix are ex.
pressing great Impotence with
President Harrison because he has
not already opened up by proels-
nation the Oklahoma lands sup
posed TO have been Included I'm the
operation Of the amendment to the
Indian appropriation bill. This
shows that even among those who
are intending TO take advantage OF
the recent legislation to acquire
land In Oklahoma there IL au aston
ishinE degree Of ignorance Of the
actual status Of affairs, and that the
insane newspapers that have been
claiming everything In sight are
not much better posted.
II L. time, therefore, that some
suecinet statement were made, con-
Yeying reliable information about
the opening OF the Oklahoma lands,
aud the GiOJs calls the attention Of
those Interested 10 the following
facts:
1. The president does not possess
NhE " tHtuC
opening that portion Of the Okla
hOma territory cedrd to this govern
nent by the Creek aud Seminole
Indians until the duly appointed
agents Of the Indians shall arrive In
Washington with q full release and
conveyance Of the ceded lands.
These agents passed through Kan
sas City en- route for Washington on
Friday last and Il will be seen that
10 must be several days before the
president can acquire the power TO
issue the proclamation 30 anxlOusly
expected.
.. The lands coded by the Greek
aud Seminole nations OF Indians
embrace only about 3,OOO,0OO acres.
instead Of 6,O0O,O0 or s,OOO,OOO, a. IL
claimed by certain enthusiasts.
3. These lands must be entered In
good faith ~ hOmesteads, and must
be occupied and improved for q
term Of five years before . patent
will be issued To the claimant. ex-
cept In the cases of soldiers or sea-
men who served In the late war aud
were hOnorahly discharged, In
which case the time Of such service
IL deducted from tue tine required
to perfect q title. IL IL also provided
that In case n soldier or seaman was
discharged from the ser ice on sc-
count Of wounds or any other dis
ability while I'm the line OF duty,
then the entire term Of enlistment
shall be deducted regardless Of the
time actually served.
I. IL IL further provided that any
person who having attempted, but
failed 10 secure q homestead under
existing homestead laws shall be en-
titled To claim . homestead entry
upon these lands.
). The entering Of lands-33O acres
for tOwn-sites must be made prior
To the commencement OF the entry
Of the body OF lands ia which such
tOwn-site IL included. Section 2;sSS
Of the revised statutes governing the
selection Of tOwn-sltes provides:
"In any territory in which q land
office may not have been established,
such entry aud declaratOry state
ment may be filed with the survey
UT-general of the surveying district
In which the lands are situated, who
shall transmit the same to the gen.
eral land office" The bill provides
that not more than 30 acres eau
be selected for . tOwn-site and for
which the minimum price of 81 =
per acre must be paid.
