buy horse and the outfit, and started
over the mountains from California
with the boys. That broke me, and l
wasn't feeling happy, because I'd
worked and struggled and speculated
good many years, and it struck me as
rather rough that a man of my age
should have to start out, as did then,
like young fellow. There were about
ten Or twelve Of us in the party, and, as
I was blue, they let me alone rather,

4 SAMARITAN PIG.
The Remarkable Reasoning Power Dis
played by "a Sow.

The Rem arIxable Reasoning Power Dis
played by ii Sow.
Like the Goose the pig is a. much
nalig1ed animal. 1t is taken for granted
that they are both stupid to the core,
ani in consequence no one will make
pets of them, and endeavor to find
whether they really have any sense.
Perhaps there is prejudice against
swine because they are SO homely. but
that is no reason why they should be
slandered. For instance, here is a
story Of 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 SOW take
an ear of corn in her mouth, trot across
the lot and disappear in the thick under
brush. She returned in about an hour,
and the man told his employer of the
occurrence, and the SOW was closely
watched when the drove was fed again,
She ate her dinner, and then took a big
eat. of corn in her mouth and again
started for the underbrush. She was
followed quietly to a little hollow in the
wood, where the missing hog was dis
covered. One of his hind legs was
held fast by the stout and springy roots
of q 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 wise.
The ground about was covered with
corncobs. showing how the SOW, which
had evidently been present when the
accident had occurred, had cared for
the prisoner. But for her he certainly
would have persisted, as he never could
have escaped from the trap he was in.

THE TIGERS PREY.

| 1t Is Usually Dispatched with Blow o.
| the Paw.
| A correspondent who has seen great
deal of forest life in India writes to the
| Indian Forester OF the subject Of how
tigers secure their prey. AS general
rule he is inclined to doubt the truth Of
the commonly accepted theory that the
tiger after lurking in ambush springs
on the unsuspecting victim and tearing
Bavagely at it's throat eagerly drinks its
blood. This method of attack may some
times be adopted but it is far more
often the exception than the rule. In
approaching his prey the tiger makes
the best possible use Of cover, but when
further conceahnent is impossible he
will course deer or other swift-footed
animal with extraordinary speed. A
sudden dash of two hundred yards IL
the open is nothing uncommon and
the writer mentions the case OF one IT,
gress, with whom he says he was at one
time intimately acquainted, who used
to catch hog or deer almost daily on d
perfectly open and burned-up plaln'
Small animals for the most part are DIS
patched with blow of the paw but III
the case of the more bulky the expe-
rienced tiger, leaping on the back OF his
victim, grips the neck in front OF, the
withers with his jaws, one forepaw
clasping the shoulder Of the animal and
the other fully extended under the
throat Should he be unable to crush
the spine with his jaws he will then
Jerk the head back violently and there
by break the neck. Ihave examined
hundreds of animals killed by tigers
and have never yet detected injury to,
the blooa-vessels of the throat but in
varissbly marks attributable to the
aforementioned method. In removing
his prey the tiger frequently displays
almost phenomenal strength and act'v-
ity. In one case cited q young tiGress
leaped up a perpendicular rock some six
feet high with q man weighing nearly
eleven stone in her jaws and on another
occasion g. male tiger dragged an ex~
ceptionally large buffalo up bank at
east ten feet high.

QUEER WAYS OF OLD BOSTON.
The Difficulties Attending Travellers in
DAYS Con. by.


Days Conc by.
Visiting in Boston seems in old times
to have been attended with some diff
culties, and if the differences which one
would naturally draw from certain
entries in the old records are correct
the authorities of the town we're not
accustomed to be overgiven to the en-
couragement of hospitality, whatever
may have been the case with indi-
viduals. For meeting of the select
men of the town, held ON November 10,
1740, for instance, says the Boston
Courier the record begins as follows:
''Mrs. Rebekah Young, Appearing
Informs that She with One Child is
lately come into this Town, from Har-
w;ch to Visit her Sister, that she in
tends to return in the Spring, & that
she hath brought with her to the Value
of Two Hundred Pounds in Money and
Household Goods.
elderly is Granted her to tarry until
the Spring and then to return to Har-
wich with her Child, or give Security to
Indemnity the Town.
The good folk Of Boston were in a
perpetual panic in those days lest they
should get upon their hands to take
care Of paupers that really belonged to
some other community, and it is very
likely that they had good reason for
their fear and their precautions. One
would suppose. however, that Il woman
who could bring with her couple Of
hundred pounds in gold and gear might
be of sufficient Importance to be spared
the formaity of appearing before the
select1nen of the town. 1t would be in
teresting to know how small an amount
of belongings would have admitted her
to The privilege Of passing the winter
with her sister.

were right in their declaration that Ger
tain rights of man were inherent in him
under the natural law. IF counsel for
the state will establish why this last
cited declaration Of the Ohio coHstltu-
ton is founded ia right reason think
I may say that l will accept that line of
reasoning as sufficient basis for the
claims am advancing here for the de-
fence.
The Ohio constitution declares that
man has an inalienable right to liberty
and to acquire possess and protect
property, and to seek and obtain happi-
ness and safety.
An iua]ienable right means one that
a man cannot get rid of even ii he wants
to: one that he can neither sell, give
away nor lose nc matter how much he
may try to do SO; one that he can no
more get rid Of than he can get rid OF
his shadow in the sunshine, and this be"
cause 1t is something thatIemains in him
sticks to him as long as he continues
to exist. and is thus called Inherent
An inaliepable tight Of man exists only
because of connection With some in
ajienable duty. Such duty can exist
onlv as to his Creator, hence it is impos-
sibe to account for natural rights ex-
cept on the theory that man is a
creature whose paramount allegiance is
due to his Creator.
Whenever you find imposed upon man
an inalienable natural duty, there goes
with it an ina}iena BILE NATURAL right--a
right to the use Of all means necessary
to tbs proper performances OF that duty.
Such duties arose because Of the natural
law. Those natural duties continue
with men as long as man continues to
exist; and the correlatiye natural lights
necesss.! ily follow with theua forever.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
An Amusing Flea Story from the Court
of Prussia.

T.
of Prussia.
An American lady visiting in Eng
land one day rasl1ly alluded to tieas by
their common name, and it was only
when her English listeners looked
slightly Mortified that she realized that
she should have spoken Of those o5fen'
sive insects as # sharps,'' or applied to-
them some equally euphonious title.
That ,1rlfanlil iarity with them is con-
fined to their names rather than
their persons, may be guessed from
the following story, which is told
about a proposed entertainment Of per-
forming iieas, q long while ago, before
the king of Prussia.
All the royal party had assembled
about a platform, on which the e21hlbl-
ton was to take place. The entertain"
1nent was called s'Napoleon and his
generals -
The court sat in expectation, but the
''professor," who was manager Of the
affair, shook his bushy name and rolled
his eyes in anguish, while he wrang his
long hands, and marched up and down
his little cage. At last he gaspecl:

He paused, and cast his eagle eye
ever the distinguished company. He
bserved that the princess royal tidgeted

eyes and voice, he approached that au-
gust lady and the king.
''sSire, madam" he cried, ''tlais exhi~
bition is poor mans all! Without
Napoleon, his generals are yalueless.
There can be no entertainment without

The princess wore an old-fashioned

professor had turned back several Of it's

ADDRESS TO CATHOLIC YOUNG MEN
Delivered on Behalf Of the Committee bI
E. F. 0'Regan, Of St. Paul.

Greeting: Convinced as we are that
the greatest evil Of to-day is intemper-
ance, and that the contrary virtue sobri-
ETY., or total abstinence, from all forms
of Intoxicating drinks needs new and
strong hands to carry IT. forward, we the
members of the Catholic Total Absti-
hence Union OF the Archdiocese of St.
Paul in convention assembled beg to
address ourselves to the young men of
the state.
Response to appeals in the past has
not been as generous as it should be-,
and while We have been Indifferent or
inactive, the vice of intemperance has
been steadily gaining ground, and is
hourly adding new names to the long
roll of those who fill drunkard graves.
The demon of drunkenness has done
more than all the other agencies of evil
in corrupting humanity, and in removing
from the body and soul OF man the di--
vine impress of heavenly grace and
purity. It's power is so mighty and so
universal that it seems almost to defy
the power and grace of God himself. It
is not necessary to enumerate the long
train of woes, miseries and Affections
which follow the awful sin of drunken
ness, and it is not necessary to picture
in language the painful and narrowing
scenes with which all are unfortunately
only too familiar in their grim and awful
reality. Over the drunkard's home

At an early age every young man, in
order to reach eminence in any depart

campaign. In this he will be deter
mined by considering the elements
which have contributed most to the sue

quiry will be that they have travelled
no :'royal road" but that every step
forward was the result of effort directed
by the teachings of experience He will
find that comparatively few OF those
who started in the race for success with
equally bright prospects reached the

being misunderstood, few we're total

teachings of experience. They insisted
on their supposed right to indulge in
intoxicating drinks and were shipwrecked
by it.
Some one has truly said that this is an

can be accomplished-through it every
