it just as it was born, laid it apon the

a SAMARITAN PIG.
The Romarisable Reasoning Power Dis
played by Sow.

The Rcmarsable Reasoning Power Dis
played by Sow.
Like the goose the pig Is much
maligncd animal. 1t Is taken for granted
that they nrc both stupid to tho core,
and In consequence no one will mako
pets of them, and cndeavor to find
whether they really have any sense.
Perhaps there is n prejudice against
swine because they are so homcly, but
that is no reason why they should DO
slnndcrcd For instance, here is n
story Of n good Samaritan pig: A Penn
sylvania farmer missed one Of his hogs,
and for three days was unable to find
him. On the third day, the hired man,
while feeding the pigs, saw n SOW tallo
IN car of corn in her mouth, trot ncross
tho lot and disappear In the thick under
brush. She returned in about IN hour,
and tho man told his employer of tho
occurrence, and the sow was closely
watched when the drove was fed again.
She ate her dinner, and then took a big
car of corn in her mouth and again
started for the undcrbrush. She was
followed quietly to little hollow in tho
wood, where the missing hog was dis
covered One of his hind legs was
held fast by the stout and springy roots
of hickory tree, between two closely
growing forks of which he had stepped,
and which had spread under his weight
and then closed on his leg like u wise.
The ground about was covered with
corncobs. showing how the SOW, which
had evidently been present when tho
accident had occurred, had cared for
the prisoner But for her he certainly
would have persisted, as no never could
have escaped from the trap he was In.

Mormon Respect for Law.

1--WE Mormons," said Mormon from
Utah, Fave shown our respect for the
law as no other body of people in the
country have ever done. The govern
iaent has confiscated our church prop
erty under the Edmunds act, and we
have surrendered it accordingly; the
government has declared the polygamic
system to be illegal, and we have re-
nounced polygamy; the government has
curtailed our civil rights and subjected
us to disabilities, but we have hardly
even entered n protest. Several thon-
sand Mormons have left or are leaving
Utah for Mexico, and If these pioneers
get along we'll tens of thousands Of
other members of the church in Utah
will follow in their wake. We will
obey the laws of the United States
while we live under the American flag,
as we have obeycd them for the past
half century,"

DESTROYED BY SILENCE.
The Unique Ending OF an Ancient City OF
Laconl;i.

Laconli-
Angela, if the old legend of It's fate
Is to be relied upon. actually persisted
through silence. The legend concern
ing the unique end of this ancient city
Is as follows: Amyclp was a town of
Laconia, founded by the Laccdemonian
king, Amycl@. 1t YVES an independent
city for many years, but was finally
conquered by the Spartans. The city
had been so often alarmed by false
rumors of projected Spartan invasion
that at last, weary OF living in state
of absolute terror, it was dccrccd that
1t should be made public offcnso to re-
port the approach of an enemy. So,
when the Spartans at last actually ap-
pearcd before the city, no one dared to
warn the officials of their approach,
and thus they were able to take the
town with scarce an effort. There is,
1t must be admitted, another ''silence"
myth concerning Amyclp. Servius
says that the city was founded by
Pythagorcans. forbidden by laws of
their order 20 speak or to harm SER
penis. The result was that the snakes
from the hills sought the precincts of
the city, and, TO one daring to speak of
it to his ncighbor or to harm the Shiny
creatures, one by one the inhabitants
left until finally the city was complete
ly turned into snake den.
