The Little PIGS.

Roast pigs are just about as good at
Christmas time as are turkeys or plum
buildings or any of the other conven.
tional good things we consume Dec. %.
And the number of sucking pigs which
have come into this great city of Chicago
within the last week is something so
prodigious that it would never do to
make an estimate of it here. They have
come in crates and in boxes and in bar
rels, all white and clean and almost good
enough to eat uncooked, so succulent
and toothsome have they looked, and
such an expression has appeared on all
their faces Of longing to be eaten. This
may seem like nonsense, but it's fact
of the most solid, concentrated, frigid
and earnest character. The sucking pig.
nicely cleaned and prepared for cooking,
has a piquant and at the same time sup
plicating cast of countenance which says
palmer than words, 81 want to be
dscne to a turn; want to be inclosed in
'crackling,' just as Mr.. Lamb descl&jes
me, and want to be eaten" If any
body doubts this let him look at any

A Good Foe.

Ministers In New England villages are
not usually the recipients of liberal sala-
ries, and the number of marriages in a
year is seldom large enough to make the
fees much of an addition to the slender
sum. The fees themselves are apt to be
slight, and sometimes are omisSed alto
gether, although the clergyman is usual
ly presented with some little ''remem-
brance" OF the happy occasion.
One clergyman has good many anus
ing stories to tell of his wedding ex-
periences," but he once received we'd
ding fee which has never been dupli-
Gated, and which, he says, lasted ten
times as long as any other which was
ever given him.
He performed the ceremony which
united the daughter Of the Widow Rob-
bins, the thriftiest housewife of his par
ish, to poor but estimable young man,
whom the widow had selected for her
son-in-law, and with whom her daughter
had dutifully fallen in love.
The wedding was merry one, and as
the officiating clergyman" was putting
on his coat in the hall, ready to start for
home, the Widow Robbins hustled out
to him and said: 81 sent Harry over
with your fee about half an hour ago,
Mr.. Lathrop. | told him people wouldn't
miss the groom for few minutes, and
sure enough they didn't. He said he

like it; you always havei"
Mr.. Lathrop murmured his thanks
and hurried home to be greeted by his
wife, whom severe cold had kept in
the house, in voice shaking with sup
pressed laughter.
Where is my fee?" demanded the
clergyman. II hear it has been put in
your keeping"
"It's on the dining room table," fal-
tered his wife.
He strobe out to the diningroom, and
there on the table were ranged four
rows of glass jars, three in each row;
they were well filed, and labeled re-
spectively, "currant jelly, ""chili sauce"

says Mr.. Lathrop, "but we also had
some of that fee the very next day, and
we never enjoyed one better. youths

Through the Tunnel.

A railway mail clerk, who has q car to
himself, left it for q moment to run for
ward and speak to the engineer as the
train stopped for water at station in
the Allegheny. noun tains, just west Of
the great tunnel. When the boiler was
filed and the train started he sprang for
his car.
The entrance to the car was on the
side, and a solitary handle offered itself
to the grasp of the passenger. AS the
clerk seized this hurriedly and pulled
himself up he discovered to his horror
that the door had Jared shut. and could
not be opened from the outside.
At that moment the train shot into the
tunnel. The man shrieked for help, but
the noise of the train drowned his cries,
and with both hands grasping the han
die, his feet on the iron step and his
body glued to the side of thecar lest he
should be dashed against the jagged
wall, he was carried into the darkness.
As the tunnel is mile long and the
atmosphere almost sitting, the hapless
mans predicament can be better imag-
ined than described. When the train
came out into daylight again the en-
gineer looked back, as usual, to see if
the train was following, and discovered
the mail clerk in his perilous position.
The train was stopped as quickly as
possible, and the engineer and conductor
fastened to the mans rescue. He was
all but demented, and on being assisted
to the ground fell unconscious.
For six months afterward he was un-
der physicians care, and when he had
recovered from the shock he said:
"The tunnel seemed at least ten miles
long, and my head, / thought, was hol-
low, with the smoke rushing in at my
mouth and nostrils and pouring out
again through my ears. Whenever
think of it my brain reels and I feel my
self crouching, just as l crouched against
the outside Of that car, while being drag
ged through that horrible darkness."-

overcoat and fifty dollars, then went to

by midnight"

HUN. Z. u. PLUMB. Spl6uu1u type or
manhood, and some of his most brilliant
successes were gained when he acted on
his own Judgment and against the opin-
ION OF nearly all his associates.
The time came, however, when he
rejected the advice of his physician and
death resulted. His last articulate words,
80 God! My head, my headr tell the
story. This great, vigorous, stalwart
statesman killed himself by overwork.
This adds another to many cases showing
how far brain disease may progress
before the general health is noticeably
affected. When Mr.. Plumb went to
Kansas in 1856, at the age Of nineteen,
ne located on the extreme border and
took the most radical position in local
politics, both on his own Judgment and
against the opinion of conservative
friends. The result was that he became
the most popular young politician in
Kansas and in time one of the states
wealthiest men.
He had many dangerous experiences,
the worst being with the smallpox. The
story has been told in many ways, but
the main facts are these: An immigrant
without money or friends had been left
in shanty in an advanced stage of the
disease, almost without attendance, and
Mr.. Plumb not only secured a good
nurse, but personally aided in removing
the patient to better quarters and get
ting medicine and other necessaries.
The man recovered, but the Samaritan
statesman was stricken, narrowly es-
capped death and for the rest of his life
his broad and good natured face bore
the marks of that hideous disease.
Such actions tell. Mr.. Plumb was
soon known as true friend and daring
editor; he was later to be known as
brave and discreet soldier. In 1862 he
started out as ieutenant,in the Eleventh
Kansas infantry, and in due time be-
came colonel of the regiment. His idea
was to practice law after the war, but
the people made him statesman. After
serving in the state legislature he was
elected United States senator for the
term beginning March 4, 1877. He was
reelected in 1883 and 1889, and his term
would have ended in 1895.
The queerest episode, perhaps, in the
senator's life was when he edited The
Buck-and-Ball in Cave Hill, Ark, late
in 1862. The Federals captured the place,
including the printing Office of Chero-
kee firm, organized squad of printers,
got up six column paper, and printed
one side and then had to run. Mr..
Plumb grabbed the edition and threw it
into an ambulance and brought it off
safely. Soon the tide of war turned.
Hindman was defeated, and the Eleventh
Kansas, once more in Cave Hill, set up
the other side and issued 1 800 copies Of
The Buck-and- Ball. Between the first
editorial and the last there had been two
fights and many foot races. Such was
one incident in the American life of
those stirring times-a typical incident
in the career of this genial and active
statesman.
