across the floor and squeaking in
fright. When he had gone about

turned. and the lion sprang again.
This was repeated; several times; the
mouse traversing q shorter distance
after each spring Of the lion. It was
demonstrated that the lion is too
quick for the mouse, at least in a
large cage. Finally the mouse stood
still, squealing and trembling. The
lion stood over, studying him with
interest. Presently he shot out his
big paw and brought it down directly
on the mouse, but so gently that the.
mouse was not injured In the least,
though held fast between the claws.
Then the lion played with him in:
the most. extraordinary way, now
lifting his paw and letting the mouse,
run few inches, then stopping him
again as before: Suddenly the mouse
changed bis tactics and, instead of
running when the lion lifted his paw,
sprang into the air straight at the.
lions head. The lion, terrified,
gave a great leap back, striking the.
bars With all his weight and shaking
the whole floor. Then he opened
his great jaws and roared and roared.

squealing, made his escape. OF the

that what the elephant fears is that

There is q tradition that mouse

the elephant was sleeping and caused
the elephant such intense pain that
he had to be killed.

RAISE HOGS.
A. hfttle Advice to the Farmers of
Minnesota and North Dakota.

A. hfttle Advice to the Farmers of
Minnesota and North Dakota.
History is always repeating itself.
The Individual who is wise eaough to
profit by experience is one that meets
with the greatest success in his under
takings: In the year 1891 the corn crop
throughout the West and Southwest
was practically a failure. What was
the result? The farmers generally sold
of all their hogs, big and little, fat and
thin, stock sows and blooded boars,
everything was rushed madly onto the
market, creating an over supply at the
time, and depreciaing the price Of
hogs to 3: cents live weight. At the
time Carl Judson, ex-secretary Of the
state agricultural society, atte npted to
stop the wild stampede to sell the i'm
mature and seed hogs by calling the at
tention of the farmers of the North
west, through the public press, to- the
fact that hogs could be thoroughly and
probably fattened on wheat barley and
rye, and that the wild rush to sell of
the stock hogs would result in hog
famine that would put hog prices far
above any commodity of the farm.
Mr.. Judson's prophecy was fulfilled to
the letter. AS soon as the immature
hogs were sold the market advanced
until the high tide was reached at
South St. Paul in February, 1898, when
live hogs sold at 1925 per cwt. Hogs
have been high ever since, and are
selling: at this time at from $3.50 to
$3.50 per cwt. Had the farmers. of
Minnesota needed Mr. Judson's warn
ing it would have been millions of dol
lars in their pockets, but, alas, they
paid no more attention to it than to the
wind, and when hogs had advanced to
1926 they were buying pork for home
use and rushing about insane1y to pur-
chase, at exorbitant prices, stock hogs
to make new beginning. Iowa, Ne
braska, Kansas and Missouri are the
great hog raising states. In these
states the corn crop is a dismal failure,
and the farmers are selling off and dis
posing Of all their hogs, brood sows
and boars, and for the reason that they
have no wheat and barley to substitute
for corn, but our Minnesota farmers,
if they have as much sense as the
Almighty gives to geese, will take ad-
vantage Of the situation and have hogs
in abundance for the market next year
when the. hog producing states are
short and prices high. The farmers
OF Minnesota and the DakOtas have
market outlet at South st. Paul for
more hogs than they can produce.
Even now the pork packers are pur-
chasing hogs at st. 10, Mo-, to keep
their large packing houses busy.
AS a further proof Of the situation
in the great hog-raising states, we
print the following from the Chicago
Evening Journal of the Goth inst:
"a farmer near McCallsburg, Iowa,
knocked about seventy five hogs in the
head because he had nothing to feed
them. This is the first year in the
history of Story county that the corn
crop was a failure: The past two
weeks has practically settled the corn
question this year, it being estimated
that the yield will not be one-ha1f

Cap and Maid.

The cap is always the bone Of con-
tentIon between mistress and maid. I
have never had any difficulty hereto
fore in seeing the question from the
mistress's standpoint, but confess that
until lately never understood just why
a maid of any degree should object to
wearing anything that adds to the gen.
eral attractiveness of her appearance.
Lately I have begun to realize that
housemaids do object to caps. because
they are not willing to advertise them
selves as housemaids. You see, they
have an idea that the visitor at the
front door will inadvertently mistake
them for the mistress. All! This Is
such human little idea, to wish to
masquerade a bit. Housemaids are
rot the only ones who do 1t.
Things are seldom what they seem,
Skim milk masquerades as cream,
Highlows pass as patent feathers,
Jackdaws strut in peacock's feathers.
Yes, I know-that Is so." 49,

PRACTICAL POLITICS.

Yesterdays proceedings at Saratoga
were thoroughly harmonious and In ac-
cordance with the Views given out by
the individual members of the Committee
In advance OF tn meeting. The State
Convention, to be held Sept. %. is to
consist OF delegates selected In the regu-
lar way at regular primaries; siX days
notice Is to be given. SO that antima-
chine Democrats will not be In posi-
ton to call the Convention a snap con-
ventipn; and. whereas II Is certain that
contrasting delegations will be sent from
Buffalo and Albany. the authority OF the
Committee to deal with contests Is dele
gated to a subcommittee OF five. who
are to hear all controversies and decide
In favor of the machine delegates.
It would be impossible for a Commit
tee meeting to be more harmonious.
Tine peace which reigned In Warsaw was
not more complete than the peace which

A CITY CRUSADE.

The Twenty-fourth street situation Ia
a very simple one. 1t Is a question
whether the majority of the residents,
property owners and tenants on the
street are In favor OF decency and law
or are upholders OF vice and lawless-
ness.
To the question put in that way there
can be but one aFwer. a.,
The remoter aspect OF the situation,
the question whether the decent and
law-abiding majority can carry out Its
honest wishes against the small mi
nority OF vile and vicious lawbreakers,
is equally simple. Not even the in
difference Of the police. nor an alliance
between police protection and vice. can
prevail against law and decency in
such community as New York. The
publicity of the reported progress of the
struggle In the daily papers Is In itself
sufficient to make the resistance OF the
evil-doers hopeless.
Mrs. Saliade and her co-workers have
only to push their case to insure sue
cess and to render a signal service to
the cause OF order and decency.
