WILD HOGS.
Fierce and Aggressive Animals in
Louisiana Canebrakes.
They Are Captured With the Aid
Of Trained Dogs.

In Louisiana the hunting Of wild
nogs Is not as exciting as the boar
hunts of the Black forest Of Germany.
In the latter country the sport is
attended with considerable danger to
she sportsman in Louisiana all the
hunter need do is to sit on the fence
(pd watch the dogs as they attend to
ae business. In Catahoula county
is peculiar breed of CANNES know as
the hog dog. Their ancestors herded
and hunted wild hogs many years ago,
and SO strongly has the instinct been
developed that the present strain
needs no training whatever. They
take as naturally to rounding up
wild hogs as spaniel to water.
The wild hog of the Louisiana cane
brake is an animal to be Stunned by
every one not clad in steel armor. He
is as fierce as mountain lion and alb
solutely t.reless in q fight; very ag-
gressive, and needs only a hint to
arouse his fighting temper. Louisiana
hunters treat the wild hog with great
respect until he is securely trapped.
Then they shoot and eat him. In the
| Ihick woods Of Catahoula county are
! large herds of these wild razor-back
hogs. To hunt them afoot, even when
armed with rifle, is an unpleasantly
dangerous sport. A good marksman
might easily kill one wild hog, but if
charged by drove the top of the
nearest tree would be the safest re-
treat for him. At the same time, the
flesh of the wild hog is very good-ii
there is no wild turkey SO this is
the way the shrewd Louisiana planters
secure their quarry.
The trained hog dog. at a signal of
his master, goes scurrying off in the
woods much as sheep dog goes after
a flock Of ianabs. The dog beats about.

hogs object to the society of dogs, and

loudly, pretends to rush furiously a

COUSIN MARY ANN.
BY HELEN FORREST GRAVES.

Eveleen Blake was a school teacher.
Rather laborious and i'll. paid life
1t was for q girl Of nineteen;
but she knew that she had her own
living to earn somehow. There
wasn't an Inkling of romance in
her life, except what she uncon-
sclously absorbed out of the books
in the circulating library. No hand
some young bachelor school trustee
ever thought of falling in love with
her; no wealthy old gentleman
adopted her as his sole heiress and
legatee, and sho hadn't rich relative
in all the world except one old aunt
out III WISCONSIN, who had never no.
ticed her existence i'll any way what
soever, and apparently didn't intend
to. Her two sisters wore both mar
ried-Mrs. Simon Sykes and Mrs.
John Smith-and each Of them looked
out industriously for Number One.
"Eveleen has had an eduction, said
Mrs. Sykes. ''Let her take care Of
herself. OF course ono wants to be
sisterly and all that sort Of thing, but
when dear Simon married me, he
didn't expect to marry the whole FAM
ily."
"Of course not, said Mrs. Smith.
''She can't expect HIS to support her. :"
And beyond an occasional invitation
to Christmas or Thanksgiving din
ner, poor Eveleen received very little
countenance from her sisters.
But she was CHEEKY, light hearted
lassie, this Eveleen Blake. and plodded
patiently along the dull routine Of her
daily life, making the best of every
thing.
Five hundred year wasn't a stu.
pendous income, to be sure, but Eve
leen knew how to economize it to the
very best advantage. She dressed as
plainly as any Quaker, kept house

She was mending pair Of gloves

"Aud now, girls, I may as we'll tel

And though Age from his heart

Still he fhirsts for the storm.
II his courage be strong
He may struggle along
And by sorrow grow strong;
And the years, as they fy,

FIVE KINDS or EATERS.

"a traveller and a critical observer Of the
table habits Of men says he has in his ex-
perience come across five kinds Of eaters:
First.-There Is your dull man, who
seems to eat merely from habit, mainly BE-
cause his parents did before him, and he
expects his children viii follow his exam
pie.
Second Your impatient, fdgsty being,
who il all activity ana who falls I'd at once
on the dish that happens to be before him
Third Your careless eater, who con-
siders that so much time j. lost that IL
passed at the table, puts all dishes on the
same level and hardly knows the difference
between the breast and the drnmstick.
Fourth Next comes your ravenous ami
NAL, who thinks only Of quantity, takes
everything that comes in his way, as il
anxious to show the capacity Of his stom-
ach.
Fifth.-Lastly come the professors, men
Of taste, who cast a practiced eye over the
table before they eat, use Judgment in the
choice Of such dishes az suit ir habits
and eat sparingly Of each, that their palate
may be gently excited by variety. Pitts
