it you will be equipped to combat the
Chicago man in all his arguments and
do the triumphant departing yourself
leaving him disconsolate with the
knowledge that even at pig sticking he
is only second rater
All the pigs that we stick, of course,
are Western stock, most Of them from
the suburbs Of Chicago. They get to
the abattoir, which is ON the west bank
Of the Hackensack River, by three
railroads. There are n thousand or SO
of them in the pens all the time, but
no pig ever stays longer than the time
than it takes him to eat and digest one
square meal. That is long enough for
him to get over the excitement OF hls
railroad journey. Then he starts Oh
another journey, and once he starts he
never stops until the end. The Sun
reporter and the able artist who drew
the accompanying pictures selected AS
the representative to be specially
watched i'll this final journey, Il fine,
brown haired gentleman pig, fat and
good natured, as will be seen 10y this
portrait.
He came down the alley from the
pen with forty companions with a
driver armed with n sharp stick and
yelling "Ho. no! Hay, hay, yo!'
after them. Mr. Pig WAS slow. The
driver poked him and repeated the
slogan. "Ho. no! Hay, hay, YOU

The Ancient Name of Great Britain.

The oldest form of the name Britain
Is Ortanis, from which comes the ad.
lective Ortanicos, which in Irish IS
Crultnech. This last is the name which
the Irish gave to the Picts, once mas
ters of Great Britain. The adjective
mentioned became in the language OF
The Gauls Pretanicos. Pytheas, the
treek navigator of Marseilles, who
dourished about the time Of Alexander
the Great, and is said to have made
voyage to Britain, in one of his few
fragments now extant calls Great Brl'
tain the Pretanic Island. A century
ifter Pytheas, a Gallo people-the
britanni-drove the Picts out of the
larger portion of Great Britain, and
established themselves there. From
this came confusion in the minds OF
dreek geographers between the name
Of the conquerors and that of the con-
auered island. Out of this confusion
arose various and mixed forms. The
Pretanic Island became Bretannic, and
lhen Britannia, which form became
liked, and has come down to u.s.

efforts to escape. Once in awhile they
get out of the little pen. Once out,
they are not got back in a hurry.
There is another pen near the small
one, which is filled with pigs. 1t holds
three times as many pigs ~ the other,
and into it the escaping pig goes.
When the small pen is empty it is
filled again from this pen, and this pen
again is filled from the alley. 1t is re-
lated that one pig which escaped from
the small pen succeeded in living in
this other pen a whole week before he
was finally driven to death. He had

dashed through a little opening to a
very small pen, in which stood man
with an armful of hooks handy. This
was exactly 3 o'clock u minutes and
% seconds. The man grabbed a hook
with remarkable dexterity he had the
chain attached to the off hind leg and
the hook attached to winding chain.
A man who worked the winding chain
pulled the lever. Mr.. Pig emitted a
squeal that was heard across the river.
The second picture shows him at
8 81 :23, just one second after his por-
trait was taken. AS he went up, the
chain swinging free, he banged against
the side of the building Perhaps it
stunned him, but it wasn't meant to.
He stopped squealing a moment. At the
top of the hook, which was around his
leg, WAS another hook, in which there
Mas metal wheel. AS he came even
with the man at the lever the upper
hook WAS fitted to sloping track sus.
pended from the roof, and along this
track Mr.. Pig started head down.
All this was II good deal quicker than
it takes to tell it, for at 3 81 "a, two
seconds after his portrait was taken, he
was opposite the official sticker, who
stood on raised platform, and, as Mr.
Pig came along, grabbed him by the
ear, twisted him into proper position,
and jabbed the keon-bladed knife into
his throat at just the prope. point to
sever the main artery. Mr.. Pig emitted
a squeal more terrific than any before,
the official sticker let go of his ear, and
he started down the track again kicking

Mr.. PIG, 20 :02.

At 3 :23 10 he was seen swinging out
and coming down tail first on the end
of the chain. The picture shows him,
and it also shows what happened in the
next few seconds He WAS seized by
the scuttlers They were armed with
hand cups. While boy unfastened
the chair and hook from his throat,
the scuttlers ran their hand cups over
him, taking of what hair there was
left They were still at it when the
hook WAS loose, and Mr.. Pig began
sliding down the inclined and slippery
boards. He slid to the BARRIERS or
shavers. 1t is their business to shave
off all the bristles that haven come off
with the hair.
Mr.. Pig didn't stop with them.
They had knives which operated with
incredible swiftness. As he slid by
the knives reached every part of his
body and every bristlo was shaved off.
At the end of the inclined plane
stood two men known as hangers up.
When Mr.. Pig reached them one seized
him about the body and held him
down while the other fastened wood
brace with hook on the end between
his hind legs in such manner that the
legs were spread wide apart. The
hook and brace were equipped with Il
wheel which was on another suspended
track, and as soon rs Mr.. Pig was fast
he began another ride of twenty feet
to platform on which stood two men
with knives. He was split and dressed
in three seconds after he reach ID them,
and at 3 :24 10 he had passed the men
and had reached the washer.
