nothing incOngruouS about it to them,
for they were the best of friends.
Many OF the little colts on the farm,
even If they are youthful, are most
polite. On being presented to stranger
they cordially extend their right hoof,
and you are supposed to heartily shake
the front leg extended to you. Mrs.
Willets says she just dotes on little baby
pigs, and surely the pigs must not be
sighted in speaking of the attractive
features OF the farm. There are tweu-
ty-fiye Berkshire hogs who can boast of
right royal English lineage and
whose pedigrees are so long that
they would never think of wal
lowing in the mud in company
with any but the most aristOcratic of
pigs. One solid, particularly dirty pig
with an indescribable twist to his tail is
familiarly known as ''Lord Perfect" j"
He originated in the West, is trifle un-
couth i'll his manners and delights with
thoroughly piggish joy in having his
back scratched. He will lie fat on his
stomach, perfectly quiet, just as long as
any one can be persuaded to scratch
! him.
Mrs. Willets is as familiar with the
pedig1eeS of the hogs as she is with
those of cows and horses, but besides
her knowledge of the farm and it's stock
she is the most energetic of housekeep-
ers and the very best of mothers, so each
one of her three sons will tell you. Mrs
Wlllets finds time to manage her stock
farm, to mend stockings, make butter
and apple pies, care for the house and
garden and to always have hearty well
come for every visitor who comes to the
''Old Brick"

THROUGH A DRY DESER
They Pushed Their Way O
"Bikes"--Nearly Dead.

Galveston News.
Six members of the bicycle club ief
Eagle Pass Saturday evening at O clock
to go to Brackett. Yesterday morning
the party mistOok the road and went in
miles. There they sighted the Los
then changed their direction toward
Spofrort, through country with which
none of the party were familiar, covered
with a thick growth of mesquite and
entirely destitute of water. For a dis
tance of fifteen or twenty miles, through
the broiling sun they pushed their
bicycles, until the railroad leading down
to Eagle Pass was reacAeo. The party
was now thoroughly prostrated from
fatigue and thirst, and the lips of some
of them were cracking open from ex-
posure to the wind.
In few moments an engine was sight
ed, and one of the party attempted to
flag the train, which proved to be the
pay car, but the engineer only increased
his speed and rushed rapidly by. One
of the party then went four miles 10
section house and dispatched a man on
horseback with water to the remainder
of the half-famiShed adventurers. The
party then came on to the section house,
procured their supperS and left for
Bracket, which place they reached at
O'Clock at night, having travelled over
sixty miles through the heat OF the day,
one-third of which distance was through
dense chaparral, pushing their bicycles,
without one drop of water. The party
returned on the train with parched
hands and faces.

whimsically at his friend for moment,
and theu said he had forgotten such a
thing as politics existed, and he strolied
away with vigorous step to his office,
leaving the impression that he had
spoken the truth. Yet in 1876 his name
was in the mouth of a great faction of
his party. and for number of bal
lots he was leading candidate
for the presidential nomination.
Yet the younger generation would prob
ably be astonished if they were told
that this handsome and successful law
yer, Benjamin II. Bristow, ever came
near receiving this honor. He did not
get the presidential nomination, but he
has attained since then what seems to
be quite as satisfactory to him-an
ample fortune through the practice of a
profession. When he met Abram S.
Hewitt in the dining room of the Down
Town club he looked at the little ex-
mayor Queerly for moment and then
said: "Hewitt, if things had turned out
different you and l might both have been
eX-presidents by this time"

ationist Called His Followers.
Collector.
Of the many personal relics of John
Brown, collection of which is being
made for exhibition at the worlds fair,
is one in Georgetown, ID. c., that has as
yet escaped the vigilance of the collec-
tors. 1t is the battered old silver whistle
with which the fiery old fanatic used to
summon his followers to his secret
meetings in the stormy days just before
the war. 1t was formerly held by Col.
Lewis Washington, the proprietor of
the Dunbarton estate in old George
town, who was present with Lee when
Brown, with his little handful of follow
erS, was captured.
All that search revealed upon his per-
son was bunch of keys, a very little
money and this old whistle. He gave
up the money and keys without protest,
but pleaded for the whistle, which. OF
course, insured his not getting it. 1t was
carelessly tossed into Col. Washington'S
secretary, where it lay for years, until
its present owner, cousin of the
colonel, happened to see it and asked
for it as curiosity. The request was
readily granted, for with the colonel the
old hero OF OSawatomie was naught but
a vagabond tilibusterer, and the only
comment he made was: Take it if you
want it. only wonder why | kept the
d thing so long as l have" Thus
the relic came to its present resting
place.
Its form is best described, SAYS the
Washington Post, by likening it to a
long-lailed tadpole that had grown a
dorsal fin the length of its body. What
corresponds to the tail is slender pipe,
through which a current of air is blown
f1utewise across the hollow bulb at the
end, giving thin yet mellow sound of
peculiar timbre that is very penetrating.
Residents of the Ferry said after the
capture that for weeks before they had
heard that whistle sound at night with
out knowing its meaning. But the ne
groes knew it, and for them it was the
engine whistle Of the underground rail-
way that carried so many of them away
from sunny Dixie. northWard to the
land OF frost and freedom.

WILLING TO ACCOMMODATES

! Baltimore Sunday News.
The sole clerk in that real estate office
| in an obsure corner of st. Paul street
had apparently very little to do yester-
day afternoon. The broker was away
and not likely to return that evening,
| so he lighted cigarette, brought out a
| copy of the News, and sprawling back
| Oh chair i'll a comfortable fashion,

Presently nervouS-loOking stranger
entered in hurried manner. Leaning
over the begrimed counter, he inquired: !:

immured in perfectly black hole for

Here and there, however, says the

loaded with case oil, or coming home
with cargo of hemp, jute, linseed.
rattan or some other of the fragrant
and valuable products of the gorgeous
East. But through all the changes in
the size and rig of vessels, through all
wave, the captain of ship, be it big or
little, is, as a rule, as punctilious in the
matter of etiquette as Spanish
grandee.
And the etiquette of the sea is a won-
derful thing. A hail from little sew
enty-tive-ton fore -and-after'' will be
answered with as much regard for the
proprietjeS by an East India ship of 1900
tons as it would be by one OF its own
of its own size, and, when the big ship
has been run through storm and fog by
''dumb luck and dead reckoning" the
appearance of the little one is hailed
with delight, as affording means of
rectifylng possible errors in reckoning.
An instance of this kind occurred off
Cape Cod short time ago, says writer
in the New York Tribune. when the
captain of a ship with valuable cargo
and crew of twenty-five Wen, as the
fog lifted about noon of the seventh
consecutive day without an obser-
vation, saw almost under his bows
little ''cordwood coaster creeping
along under malnsail and jib, with her
skipper at the wheel and her crew Zone

sheet.
''Ship ahoy!''
Back from the deck way above him
came the answering call, "Ahoy therep'
'Where ye from?" was the next Ques-
ton.
Calcutta, bound for Boston," was the
reply;
whats yer cargo?"
"Linseed, spice and juite butts"
''HOw long ye bin Out?"
Zone hundred and sixty days"
"Gosh!" said the skipper, and then
came the chance of the big ships cap
tain.
Schooner ahoy!" came down from
the deck of the lime-juicer.
''AhOy there" went back the answer.
"What'S your lOngitude?"
1.-The skipper knew where he was, and
the master of the Calcutta ship was un-
certain.
SO when the answer was given he was
much relieved, for it showed that lie
was nearer home than he had reckoned.
But he was going to have his talk out
anyway, and although the little fellow
had his Jib to windward he roared out.
Where you from?'
Gloucester, bound for New Bed
ford"
whats your cargO?"
"Rocks and bilge water mostly.
"How long have you been out?'
The skipper was stung by the sarcasm
of the last question. and with look of
scOrn at the big ship beloved out:
BIN out all night, by thunder, aud
wish hadn't. Draw away your jIb,"
and the sheet block went over to the lee
rail with bang, the sail filled. and the
last the Indiaman heard of the schooner
was the skipper's shout from the stern
of his boat. '.Ye think ye're darn smart,
don't ye, jest cause ye're big"

The.year of greatest growth in boys is
the seventeenth; in girls, the fourteenth.
While girls reach full height in their
fifteenth year. they acquire full weigh
at the age of twenty. Boys are stronger
than girls from birth to the eleventh
year; then girls become superior physic-
ally to the seventeenth year. when the
tables are again turned and remain so.
From November to April children grow
very little and gain no weight; from
April to July they gain In height, but
lose in weight, and from July to No
vember they increase greatly in weight,
but not in height.

in a street car she begins survey of her
fellow-paSSengers. True, she only gives
quick. sweeping glance up one side
and down the other. but the man is on
the alert. He catches that single glance,
and is often weak enough to think
it was thrown at him, especially if
the girl has pair Of soft. languorouS
eyes. Or the first thing another girl
will do upon sitting down in q street
thrust out small foot daintil shod.
1t sets like taSSel on the male hawk
sitting opposite. He at once begins to
stare at this little foot. often imagining
that il was thrust out purpOSely to
catch his eye. Or else the pretty girl
audaciouSiy scans each face in front
of her as much as to say: bah.
who's afraid of you? Follow me, if you
dare, and you'll get piece OF my mind :"
Or else the pretty girl in some slight
degree accepts petty attentions from a
man sitting beside her. In such cases
she has right to give man his quietus
as speedily as possible, even at the risk
of being rude. There Is no other way
to put damper on some over-attentive
men. To such an individual a bright
girl once responded:
Better take the seat next to the win
dow, so you can raise it without asking
my permission"
One pretty girl was hoist with her
own petard. The man who sat down
beside her made some trif1e remark,
thinking to start the conversation,
whereupon the girl spelled out upon her
fingers: II am deaf and dumb" In
an instant the gentleman's face bright
ened up, and he replied in sign lam
guage: ''Delighted to meet you. l am
teacher in the deaf and dump asy-
lum."
In reality there is no need of a girl
giving short and tart answer to the
man who speaks to her in public Let
her be dignified, but firm, and not COM
nit the error of replying to the question
put to her. All that is necessary is a
faint smile and bent of the head. Such
reception is not icy, but still quite
cold enough to chill the man who talks.
He will usually take the hint and sub
side. But. should he persist, it may be
necessary to display little more sever
ity. Don't fly into passion, but strive
rather to keep perfectly cool, and don't
use any more words than absolutely
necessary. ''Sir, your attentions are
annoying to me-" is quite enough in
most cases
