How The Pig Was Saved.

Whether IA lie well told and stuck to after
wards is as good rs the truth" was debated
at dluner table where ! was sitting one day
this week, aud it brought out the following
stroy from II rather dyspeptic-looking man
who had eaten very sparingly:"l used to
live up in the county, said he. Zone OF my
neighDors, an unlucky, unthrtty sort OF IA
man. killed II pig one day with the aid OF II
local butcher. After the killing he said to
the butcher, "By jinks, Sam, | hate to cut
up TINT pig 'WhyY Cause you see I'm
OWN most everybody around here piece of
pork, and if cut up the pig I'll have to give
most of him away IN tell you what I'd do. '
said the butcher. What's thatY I'D leave
the pig hung up out doors till 10 o'clock at
night then take him in and give out the next
morning that he's been stolen by jnks,
III do it," 1t was a wonderfully fine plan
the farmer thought and he left the pig hang
ing out, as the butcher suggested. About l
O'Clock the butcher himself came along and
loaded the pork into his team. 1t was not
there when the farmer went outaiter it. The
next day, with long face, he accosted the
butcher in hoarse whisper, 4 say, Sam,
somebody did really steal that pig That's
right said the butcher, nudging him and
winking wickedly at the same time. But, by
jnks, the pig was really stolen That's
right you stick to that and you'll be all
right said the butcher, encouragiugly, and
he hurried off, leaving his friend in most be-
widered state of mind, from which ! don't
think he ever fully emerged"

A Monkeys Suicide,

Not long ago the authenticated case of the
suicide ola dog from grief at being beaten by
it's master was chroHicIed, and now we read
of Il monkey destroying itself under very re.
markable circumstances. The facts of the
case, which are positively vounched for by
a correspondent writing to Paris contem-
porary from MoItricbard, in the department
of Loir-et- Cher, are as follows A learned
monkey, named Bertram, was deeply attach
ed to its owner, who among other tricks, had
taught it to fire pistol while galloping on
the back of II dog. The master of the animal
it seems, lately met with certain domestic
troubles, and, in a detected frame of mind
few days ago he sent bullet through his
head, death being instantaneous. The mon
key was present at the death of his master,
and probably took in every particular. In
any case when doctor was called in to see
if life was extinct in the man, he was aston
ished to find himself in the presence of
double suicide, the monkeys body being
stretched beside that of his master, with the
revolver casped between its fingers 1t is
stated that the animal picked up the pistol
after his master had blown out his brains,
and initiated what he had just seen done,
sending a bullet through his head precisely
as the man had done.
