Tnr FATE OF a LEARNED PIG.
How Tanti, the Clown, euccumbod TO

HOW r.ns,. sise clown. succumbsd to
TemptAtions
About eleven years ago famous hog
Of almost superporcine intelligence was
attached to the Imperial circus at St
Petersburg, where It baslxedin the sum

two gay winter seasons, romarlxsl the
London Daily Telegraph. This saga
iosa4creature, ct oncee ready reclsoner,
fortune teller and deft executioner of
card tricks, was the property Of one
Tanti, o famous Italian clown. who had
brought It up from infancy and taught
It I'll its varied accomplishments.
One night he and his pig were hidden

Russian guard, supping together after
the performance, and were called upon
70 repeat the programme of the evening
--of course. on payment of a handsome
fee, At the conclusion of the show one
of the officers offered Tanti one thou
sand rublea, for his pig. The clown de-
clfned to sen, pointing out that the do
cile and, clever animal constituted his
chief source Of income, and that, more
over, he was far too fond of it to part
from II. Upon tl,is the officers proceed
ed to tempt him by outbidding one an
other until they ran the price Of the
learned pig up TO six thousand rublea
This sum, the equivalent of over seven
hundred pounhh, end the reflection that
he could probably train another pig to
replace the one thus exorbitant1y val
ued, finally induced TanN to accept
the offer, little thinking to what a dis
NAL fate he thereby consigned his pet.
Next day tho luckless animal was
slaughtered by order of its purchaser
and sent to the clowns lodging with q
message to the effect that mo doubt

potaker which hod been 80 profitable to
him in HE and death alike"
The whole grim story, equally dis
creditable to all concerned In 1t, got
wind In st., Petersburg and made q
painful impression upon Russian
society. A severe reprimand was ad-
ministered to the officer whose cruel
freak had caused the death of public
favorite, and Tanti's popularity sensi-
bly, declined. Oddly enough, few
weeks later he was fred at while cut
ting capers in the ring by an eccentric
Polish nobleman, whose bullet just
missed the clown, burying itself in the
sawdust at his feet, and causing him
such alright that he fled from the cir

When, Intercepted as to the motive
of his extraordinary conduct, the Sar-
matian magnate-a well-known sports
man and patron OF the circus-calmly
replied that, ''having been much di-
