Easily Satisfied.

Eight-year-old Fred was the young.
est member of a large family, and,
unlike many boys Of that age, was
accustomed to regard himself as a
person Of little Importance.
At the table he ate what was given
him with a thankful heart and a Wig
orous appetite. He was not consult
ed as to his personal likes or dislikes
az far as food was concerned.
Naturally enough, therefore, his
ideas were much confused when, on
the occasion of his first dining out at
the home of one Of his schoolboy
friends, he was asked whether he
would like his slice Of beef rare OF
well done.
'Why-I-think, stammered Fred
bashfully, and then with his usual
bright smile he said

reasons for abandoning the farm,
however, were not those usually

can be found Then he told his
story;
With two brothers and three sis

tIom Chicago, and they all aided a
phlegm0tic old father in operating the
place. 1t was fine piece of land, and

in the shape of a cabbage crop. The
Chicago market showed a strong de-
mand for sauerBraut, and the farmer
decided to go in for a profitable crop.
With the two boys he planted sew
eral acres in cabbage, with excellent
results. The crop was cut UP and
packed, and there were $50 barrels Of
the finest sauerkraut made.
Communicating with a friend IN
the grocery business on the North
Side, the farmer received an order
for 10 barrels. A few days later the
grocer announced that the best he
could offer was S5 cents a barrel, the
top market price. Tho old man
couldn't stand such a drop as that,
so hc had the shipment returned,
paying freight charges both ways.
Purchasing 40 fine pigs, he began fat
tening them on his high grade sauer-
lraut. All went well for few days,
but the porkers soon tired of the
diet and began to run from it. The
pile grew high, and a few of the
strongest pigs jumped the fence and
ran away, while others sickened and
grew weak from starvation
1t was a puzzler for the old man,
but he was determined to derive some
benefit, and the boys lugged the stuff

The capture of wild hogs was for

resident gave me an account of a
chase which he had witnessed. The
hunters are extremely fearless, cour-
age being a native characteristic, al
though the people are generally
peaceable. Myinformant stated that
the hogs were seen at a distance and
two or three mon set at once in pur-
suit of them. They took with them
a piece of stout rope, and when, final.
ly, one fierce boar was brought to
bay he turned on the hunters and
rushed at them with a fierce display
of tuslzs, his mouth wide open. Two
of the men held the rope taut, tho
brute ran against it, and they thrust
it between his gaping jaws, winding
It around and around his snout. This
is the native method OF killing hogs

Shiloh commission, as they had asked
the appointment in recognition of what
they had done in forwarding the Move

the association but the state of nlino g.,
which had more troops in the battle
than any state in the Union, yet it has
no representation ON the commission
at all. The association holds
the land of the battlfield under
legal option until March 4, 1895, and
they will undoubtedly purchase the
land under the option. and proceed to
improve the same as battlefield park,
under the charter of the association
which has been granted by the State Of
Tennessee for this especial purpose. A
syndicate of wealthy men has offered

SECOND CLASS MAIL MATTER.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Assistant
Postmaster General Kerr Craig is very
busy trying. to determine what is and
what is not second class mail matter.
The well known position of Postmaster
General Bissell on the subject of second
class matter, and his resolution to draw
the line between legitimate newspapers
and periodicals and those which are
published for advertising pur-
poses solely, has resulted in the
issuance Of instructions to post
masters to draw the line more
tightly and more publications are
rejected than formerly, or if admitted,
made subject to review by the depart
ment. The result is that publishers
and attorneys of publishers have been
frequenting the department, presenting
their side of the case and arguing for
the admission of their publications
without restrictions. All these matters
come before the third assistant post
master general for final determination,
and just at the present time there are
All unusually large number of cases
pending.

five Of the injured were taken out 1t
was then found that one of the two
boilers had been blown to pieces, COM
