diligent perusal, however, by the young

MANY NOVEL READERS
are patriotic and have holy horror for
any French literature. The English is
good enough for them. They would
rather sit down and spend the after
noon with Dickens, Thackeray and Lyt-
ton. Who can blame them when their
fayorite authors created such books as
David Copperfield' and Vanity Fair

A PUZZLED PORKER.
He Could Not Fathom the Tricl
of the Farmer,

u
of the Farmer.
Woodland (Cal.) Mail.
Out on YOlO county ranch a few
years ago small band of hogs were
confined in a lot fenced in with logs.
In one part of the fence there was a
hollow log, shaped something like a
Stovepipe, one opening being inside
the lot and the other outside. One
day an intelligent porker discovered
this fact, and thereafter went out and
returned at his own pleasure. The
owner of the ranch happened to witness
the mode of egress of the hog one day,
and decided to put up job on him. By
Slowing the log around little
he so contrived as to place
both openings of the log inside
the lot. In few moments the hog ran
up to his usual exit and passed through
the log. Imagine his surprise when he
walked out the other end of the log and
found himself still inside the lot. He
looked about in a puzzled way, scratched
his ear and tried again. Same
result. ''Weil I'll be DANCED"
grunted the hog. Again he ran
into the log and ran out again with the
same result. He became wild with
rage, and dashed through the log so
often and SO fast that the smoke issued
from the cracks. Then he gave it up as
a bad job. and, so the owner of the hog
says, never went near the fence until
the day of his death.

Local labor circles have been remark

bring forth some important changes in
the affairs of organization. Without
doubt these changes will be in the line
of progress. and probably result in an
extending of the work and some form
of cooperation between all branches.

Considerable interest is manifested
among the StenOgrapherS in regard to
the proposed organization. A large
number, especially of the ladies. look
with favor upon the plan but are wait
ing for some one to take the lead.
! Among the men there seems to be a
difference of opinion. Some recognize
the utility of an association. Others
profess their ability to get living wages
at any time and think organization of no
use. Yet the fact remains that the
wages of even first-class stenographers
are rapidly falling, and that the majority
of employers fix the wages of the STEM

presents the unique example of city
without city government. Some
years ago, in fit of thoughtless gen
erosity, the city voted large amount
of bonds as bonus to an incoming
railroad, an amount so large that il
threatened to bankrupt the municipal
ity if paid. To avoid paying the obi
cations the city officials, except those
of a minor degree, resigned and left
the corporation in an acephalous con-
dition. Now the officials are elected
annually, meet in secret, vote the ap-
preparation necessary to keep the
municipal machine creased, trans
act whatever business is neces-
sary, hand in their designations, and
once more the street commissioner. or
some one Of about the same degree, is
in charge. The railroad has tried in
vain to find an officer on whom to
serve summons. Detectives have
been in the city hoping to surprise the
secret council meeting. but the inter
ests of the people are so united as to
prevent a successful coup of that sort.
In fact, instances have been known
when the meeting was being held in
an upper room of a business block
while the emissaries of the railroad
armed with formidable legal docu-
ments. were watchfully patrolling the
sidewalk below. "A public Office is a
