and on the shady piazza in midsummer
Here is an interesting assortment Of
these tales:
The narrative Of pig that prevented
bank from being robbed comes from
Catawissa, Pa. a place where porkers
are held in high esteem and every fam
lily supports pig. John Hulshizer, a
modest citizen, owns one, and when he
heard an agonizing squeal just before
dawn the other morning he repaired
hastily to the pig sty. There he found
his pampered proteGe caught fast in .
hole in the sly. With ready sympathy
Hulshizer proceeded to liberate the ami
NAL from its uncomfortable position,
which liberation was no sooner effected
than the ungrateful pig started off
downward at a very lively gait.
Hulshizer followed on a dead run,
but did not succeed in overhauling the
door of the First national bank. There
the perspiring and painting owner of
the pig got close enough to gfab 1t, and
the pig instantly resumed its piercing
and far-reaciling sqpcal Citizen Hull
shizer held fast to the pig and was
about heading it for home when three
men came tumbling heller SHELTER out
of the bank and tore wild ly away, soon
disappearing in the darkness.
Strange as it may seem, Hulshizer
was so taken up with the capture Of the
pig and concerned about getting it
home that the incident of the men tum-
bling out of the bank did not strike
him as of particular significance. He
got his pig home and safely housed and
went to bed again. Then, as his nerves
became quiet, he got to thinking about
the men who had left the bank so hur-
riedly.
"Why, say" he thought by and by,
'that pig scared them fellers so that
they didn't take time to lock the bank
door"
Then Citizen Hulshizer got up again
and returned to the bank. The door
was wide open. SO he aroused citi-
zen living near the bank. That citizen
in attempting to come out of his door
found his way blocked by strong wires
that We're strung from jamb to jamb. By
this time others living in the immediate
vicinity of the bank We're aroused, and
every door leading out of their houses
was found INSTRUCTED by wires. 1t was
broad daylight before any examination
was made of the bank The outer door
had been opened by means of holes that
had been drilled through it near the
lock, SO that the bolts were readily
moved. The vault door had been opened
by drilling, and the safe in the vault
WIS bored through and as the bankers

The newly elected president of the

A SONG OF BoYhooo.

When was but boy / lay
Upon the cabin floor,
Wha. time the touder green Of May
Our southern mountains wore.
The nocaingbirj was In the vine,
The thrush was in the thorn,
And an old negro friend of mine
Was hoeing in the corn.
Dear Uncle Ben, though black was ha
His heart was kind and true,
Sweeter than sound of bird or bee
Tho music that he knew.
His songs were rude and simple things
70 staff could hold his tunes,
But they we're like the dream that brings
The browse OF summer Moons.
So tender were they. and so warm,
So rich with nameiess Joy,
AND just the melody to charm
The soft heart OF a boyl
That voice fell silent long ago.
How long asoi yet still
/ sometimes feel ii, soft and low,
My lonely spirit fill
It is voice OF youth and home,
OF health and happiness.
Before the stormy days had como
And battles rage and stress.
Ali would were boy once moro,
And l could hear again
Como softly through the cabin door
The voice OF Uncle Benz

her with bullet through the head.
''She war up in second, and I kin
tell you my heart stood still as a bafNy
boss, but 1 fired my old Betsy Jane
agin, and she rolled over dead with
hole plum through her heart"
1t is related by MIR. John Worth that
in some parts of the west in the spring
time the prairie chickens SHARP tailed
grouse) meet every morning at gray
dawn in companies of from six to TWEEN
ty and indulge in a dance which reminds
dance. At first the birds stand about
in ordinary attitudes, resemb bling peo-
pie at ball before the music begins,
when suddenly one of the cocks lowers
his head, spreads out his wings nearly
horizontally and his tail perpendicular
", distends his air sacs and erects his
feathers, then rushes across the floor"
taking the shortest of steps, but stamp
ing his feet so hard and so rapidly that
the sound is like that of the kettle
drum. At the same time he utters a
sort Of bubbllng crow, which seems to
come from his air sacs. beats the air
with his wings and vibrates his tail SO
that he produces loud, rustling noise,
and thus becomes a really astonishing
spectacle.
Soon after one commences all the
cocks join in, rafting, stamping, drum
ming, Growing and dancing together
furiously. Louder and louder the
noise, faster and faster the dance be-
comes until at last they madly whirl
about, leaping over each other in ex-
element After brief spell the energy
of the dancers begins to abate, and
shortly afterward they cease and stand
or move about very quietly until they
are again started by one of their num-
Der leading off, as human dancers are
observed to do during the intervals of
rest between their performances
