It Stopped the Daby's Crying and Earned
Him Everlasting Gratitude.
It was in On AZ" train and baby
was crying with all the strength of its
two-year-old lungs. The expression
on che faces of the occupants of the
car changed from Indifference to pity,
then to- annoyance, and finally to
downright anger Finally, says the
New York Recorder, n man two or three
seats from the crying child leaned
over and snapped his fingers quickly.
The effect was magical. The child
stopped In the middle Of yell, and
gazed open eyed and open mouthed ut
the man. He snapped his fingers sew
eral times, then, accompanying them
with grotesquely cheerful smiles and q
peculiar shake of his head which
seemed to highly interest the cross
cherub and appeal to his sense OF
humor, for wavering little smile
crcpt around the corners OF the droop-
Ing mouth and the cries ceased for
good. The man leaned back In his
seat, bestowing occasional cheerful
winlss and smiles at tho vanquished
foe.
He reaped his reward. The old fell
low next TO him declared he had diplo-
macy enough to make prime minis
ter, the men opposite pecped ut him In
friendly recognition over the tops of
their papers, the woman near him with
nerves and a headache said: Thank
you." and the pretty CIR. in the COR
ner gave him q sweet smile. That man
left the car followed by score Of
blessings, and the cross oaby turned
over and actually went to sleep.

HIS pReo,oAMeNr.


This Young Man Was In a Peck Of Trouble
Through No Fault Of His Own.
There Is q certain young man in Chi
cago whose natural propensity for be-
ing agreeable has sometimes placed
him in embarrassing positions. He has
not quito recovered from his latest
shock.
Two weeks ago he decided to accept
an invitation to n certain club recep-
tion. A young lady from the far south
side was to accompany him.
That evening when he called at her
fathers door the young lady was in
disposed. A female cousin happened
to be spending the evening at the
house, and being an old friend the
young man was ushered into the fam
lily sitting-room and introduced to the
cousin, whom he had never seen. Nat
urally enough he didn't catch her name
on presentation, and naturally enough,
too, he proposed that she go with him
to the reception.
Five minutes after the introduction
she withdrew to get ready. When she
came out prepared to keep out of the
! cold she seemed only an animated bun.
die of wraps. ...
It was this animated bundle which
few moment later retired to the club
dressing room set aside for ladies. She
came out metamorphosed beyond all
hope of Identification at the end Of ten
minutes. Introductions to three or
four other ladies, had in the meantime
tended to still further bewilder the
young men, and he stood with a cold,
clamlny sweat on his thoughtful brow.
What a situation! The escort of q
young lady whose name he couldn't
call and whose face he couldn't remem-
berl And there were half hundred
of faces about the rooms.
Twice in the course of the evening
he thought he had found the young
lady. Each time he spoke guardedly
about her "sicls cousin" and each time
the young lady gave him a scarce look,
as if she doubted his sanity.
It was not she.
The evening dragged on somehow.
He thought several times of running
away somewhere = anywhere = and
never being heard Of more. Then a
happy thought struck him. 1t gave
| him new hope OF life.
People began to go home after a
time. The crowd thinned ana the
young man watched hopefully.
Six women were left-fve--four-

Two!
And one other young man!
Then the other young man took the
arm of the tall young woman who was
smiling so graciously about her, leav.

HOG CHOLERA.


IL IL Raging Among swine In Portions Of
Rock Island County.
The hog cholera still continues to
ravage the herds Of porkers belong
ing to the farmers in and around
Taylor Ridge, Reynolds, Presumption
and Edgington. and the loathsome
germ now seems to be headed in a
northwesterly direction. Very few
hogs in the above named section es-
capped this terrible pestilence, many
farmers, including the Messrs. Parks,
Spickler. Harris. losing more than
81, 200 worth of shoats aud heavy
hogs. There seems to be no end Of
misfortune in this direction. Farm
ers. who q few weeks ago were we'll
supplied with marketable and brood
hogs, are now without a single head.
The hog market is virtually glutted
and choked. The average farmer,
not only here, but elsewhere, is SELL
ing every healthy hog on his farm,
in the hope that he may realize q
little something instead of losing the
hogs altogether.
The condition Of the hog mari1ct in
Chicago and elsewhere is well K Town.
The bottom of the market has fallen
out completely, and hogs are a drug
on the market. Shipments still re-
main good, but it is owing more to
the cholera scare than to the price
received for hogs. 1t is hoped that
this loathsome hog cholera will soon
exhaust its violence.
Favorable Tide.
But. while the disastrous results
of the present epidemic among the
swine of our immediate neighborhood
is to be greatly deplored, its present
aspect. like every other misfortune
has consoling side. 1t is that the
corn which would have been fed te
hogs can now be marketed. and per
haps as much, or nearly as much
and maybe more money, can be real
lied from the sale of this cereal.
