His First Pig.

Twas sent To little outwork on the
borders OF Gorakhpur, as lonely spot as
there Is In India, and IL was there that
first encountered the fighting wild boar OF
the country In my first attempt TO tackle
him my career was nearly ended In an ig-
unanimous manner, and was only saved
by the GOODNESS and courage OF a native at
tendant. When word was brought to me
one evening that boar had passed through
the factory grounds, had not hog spear
IN my possession, my only weapons OF Of
fense and defense being an old cavalry
sword and the much priced revolver.
Nothing daunted, determined to come TO
close quarters with that pig, so / saddled
one of the horses and followed quickly In
pursuit, the sword dangling by my side,
and revolver I'm hand. When / got on
terms with the boar, he took refuge In a
large piece OF scrub jungle. Bursting with
excitement, dismounted and crept In
after him ON my hands and knees. There
he stood, looking at me with those wicked
eyes that a hog hunter learns To love so
well. So, resting the revolver on my
naked sword, took deliberate aim and
shot piggy somewhere about the shoulder.
Then, for the first time, l heard the
sharp loud snort of defiance. and before
could fire n second time was ON my back,
with the pig standing over me. Fortu-
nately one OF the villagers, fine, stalwart
Rajput armed with big native spear,
had crept In at my heels and before the
boar could follow up his advantage he was
pinned by the spear in time to allow me
TO regain my feet The native and / then
finished him off between us in the open.
Since then have had many good gallop
after pigs, but never again got so COM
pletely mixed up In rough and tumble
encounter. My wide white trousers saved
me. the pig ripping them from top to bot
tom, and II was fortunate for me that
had not time to get into tight fitting rid

Favor OF Compromise with silver Adj
herents.
WASHINGTON. April IS special. -
There Is a great deal OF talk here as TO
what will happen In the event that the
free silver men obtain the upper hand In
the Chicago convention. OF course they
will adopt q free coinage platform and
name free coinage candidate. IL Is not
improbable their ticket will be Endorsed
by the Populists, and that the silver Re.
publioans Of the far west will bolt the st.
Louis nomination and throw their strength
TO the Democratic silver Populist combi-
nation. Assuming that these results
would follow, some Democrats are asking
the question why the eastern or gold
standard Democracy should not name a
ticket, too, perhaps Mr.. Cleveland The
idea would be that while the silver wing
OF the party, with its allies was carrying
all the states IL could control in the south
and west, the gold wing might carry New
York New Jersey and possibly other east
ern states. Then in the electoral college
there could be combination OF all these
Democratic forces. IL the electors chosen
by the two wings should together outnum-
DER tne hepuDHcan electors, why could
they not get together arrange some terms
OF compromise, and thus elect another
Democrat 10 the presidency
A Novel Scheme.
Those who argue in favor OF this novel
scheme believe IL presents the only chance
there is for Democratic success They
claim that all Of the southern states would
elect Democratic electors on the silver
ticket, for tho gold wing Of tho party
would make no campaign there, ard the
Populists, having joined hands with the
Democrats, would remove the only danger
OF success. In the western and mountain
states they say they can sweep everything
beyond the Missouri river. In other |
words, the claim is made that this silver |
coalition ticket could carry states with
electoral votes as follows:
