MRS. Trip, Vile OF the United States

Extraordinary Effect Of Parental Influence
In . Hog Family.
John Caesar Cicero Gustavus Darling,
the noted Sullivan county hunter, is
dead. For nearly a century he had lived
In his mountain home at Sand Pond,
where the telling Of his quaint yarns
and the presence Of his dwarfed form
and long, flowing beard, reaching
ly to his feet, made him famous. Scared
and disfgured by his encounters with
animals and crushed by a bear until
nearly dead, he still lived, like most of
Sullivan county's hardy woodsmen, to
. ripe old age. 1t was not the many deer
and bear which he killed that gave the
old man his celebrity, but his propen-
sity for story telling. One Of his best
yarns was told a short time before his
death.
Il once had a hog that lost the use of
her hind legs, he said, land I made a
two wheeled truck by saving two
rounds from a log eight inches in diam
eter. l then bored a hole in the center
OF the wheels, whitfield q stick the right
size, and in no time had a cart, which
l placed under her hind parts. She
seemed to take kindly to it, and l
turned her out to feed ON beech nuts,
where she picked her living during the
winter. In the spring I found when 1
went to look for her that she had given
birth to IL pigs. and every one had a
two wheeled truck under it. Even the
brass headed nails and the strap that l
used in fastening the truck to the moth
er were ON the little trucks. st. Louis

Lieut.. Pague Is Insane

CHICAGO, Dec. l9.-The war de-
partment is expected shortly to is
sue the necessary orders for the
transfer of Lieut.. Pague from Fort
Sheridan to the insane asylum at
Washington, This factis supposed
to account for the long and unusual
delay in the announcement of the
findings reached by the court mar
tial. Since the court martial con-
cluded, the post surgeon at Fort
Sheridan recommended the trans.
fer OF Lieut.. Pague to the insane
asylum in his report OF the exami-
nations as to Pague's insanity.
Those who, are familiar with the
matter expect the announcement
OF the findings OF the court martial
and order for the transfer of Pague
to the asylum to be made at the
same time. Lieut.. Pague is the
officer who last fall fired several
shots at bis commanding officer,
