"A NIGHT ET
OLD WEN FORKS.

Continued From Last Week.
Bye and bye the family began
dropping off to bed, and Mr. and
Mrs Fork were finally left alone.
At last they too retired for the
night, and Mr. Fork continued the
conversation about old Yates in q
coarse whisper,
In the meantime we had became
aware of other dodgers about the
house. AS the winds grew colder
and colder the hogs began to accu-
mulate under the house for pro-
lection from the cold. The bottom
of the house had been boarded mp
on three sides, leaving the back
part open, and the hogs had COM
menced gathering by tens and
providing up towards the front end
near the fireplace. The first ar
rivals got the best places and those
that came later commenced crowd
ing, and then the trouble began.
An old timer would start out to
root her way up to the fireplace,
and the squeels, grunts and whoof
whoofs became deafcning. The
music ranged all the way from the
shrill tenor Of the six weeks old
pig to the hoarse bass of the veteran
of five or six years. The uproal
finally became deafening and the
dust began rising through the floor
in clouds. Finally old Fork jump
ed out of bed and shouted; Blast

No results, By this time Mrs
Forks patience was evidently fail
ing, and jerking open the kitchen
door she passed through the sitting
room like a cyclone. She had her
skirts tucked ND and a pine shiver
in her hand, Opening a back room
door she passed in and closed the
door. Tom was delighted beyond
expression at this little episode,
and we both listened ilitcntly in
order to hear what passed, AS the
door closed behind Mrs Fork we
heaed several resounding whacks
and 4 loud thuinp announced the
arrival Of somebody's bare feet on
the floor. Pretty soon Mrs Fork
came back looking little hured as
though she had been making vic.
lent exertion.

The dogs seemed to bewell trail ed |
and dashing under the house they
made furious attack on the hogs.
Each dog s,ized q shoat and bloked |
out with him and then went back
for another, while old Fork stood |
in front Of the opening and gave
each hog that came out a resound-
ing whack with the poker. accom-
paning each blow with q scathing
malediction. The hogs all tried to
get out at once and the uproar
shook the whole house. AS soon
as they were all out Mr. Fork and
the dogs came back in the house
and quiet reigned once more. We
were just doing off to sleep when
the hogs commenced coming back
again. In short time they were
all back and the music was in full
blast. Some old porker would get
his back up against the floor and
the floor would be raised several
inches, while the crowding and
fighting made everything trcmble.
"Blast them hogs" said old Fork,
jumping out of bed and selling the
poker. cpl fix 'em," and throwing
open the door and calling the dogs
he sailed out and started in on the
hogs. In u few minutes he had
routed the whole outfit, and peace
reigned once more The old man
had no sooner got back in the
house and in bed than the hogs
were back with heavy reinforce
ments. What had been before was
nothing to the uproar that now
followed. '"They're coming through
sure this time" said Tom, and in
deed it did seem as though they
were by the way the floor cracked.
The old man stood it as long as he
could, but finally it became un-
bearable, and he made another
sally with the dogs.
The fleas now began hostilitics
and gathered in full force. Every
few minutes Tom would run his
hand down under the cover and de-
liver several resounding slaps.
Just stick your head under the
cover q minute, Marcus" said Tom
land listen to the heas, it sounds
like swarm of bees" And sure
enough it did. By this time the
hogs had to be driven out again,
and so on all night. Sleep was
out of the question, and q more
miserable night l never spent. Mr.
Fork and the dogs took cat maps
between sallies, and the heas kept
up active operations all during the
night. AT day-brealS we could
stand it no longer, and making a
hasty toilet we beat a retreat to the
front room. Mr. Fork had built up
a roaring fire in the Aroploce and
Mrs Fork was busting around in
the kitchen getting breakfast.
The hogs had all dispersed and
the dogs were stretched around on
the hearth enjoyinga much needed
rest after the experiences of The
night before. The Sizing and fry
ing in the kitchen denoted that The
breakfast was progressing. and the
chatter of dishes and ratings o
knives and forks grew louder ant

CHICAGO, July THE seats of the
delegates and alternates were filled.
but there was a wide fringe of vacant
chairs in the outer edge of the gal
leries. when at 12:49 p. m, Chairman
Harrity, of the national committee,
raised his gavel and as it dropped on
the desk with a sharp crack, requested
the 10Th national Democratic conven-
ton to come to order. He said:
The sergeant-at-arms will kindly
see that the aisles are cleared and that
The aisles must be cleared. The gentle
men will kindly take their seats as
promptly as possible"
In the course of a minute or so the
aisles We're cleared and Chairman Har-
rity declared the convention in order
for the business before it. Continuing,
he said:
1.-The proceedings of the convention
will be opened with prayer, which will
be offered by the Rev. Ernest NJ. Stires,
rector of Grace Episcopal church Of
Chicago"
The Rev. DR.. Stires addressed the
throne Oh Grace ana then Mr.. Harrlty
said:
by direction of the Democratic ma
tional committee, desire to report the
following as the temporary organiza-
ton of the convention: For temporary
chairman, Hon. David B. Hill, of New

The mention of Senator Hills name
was received with
TREMENDOUS APPLAUSE,
the members of the Pennsylvania dele
cation standing on chairs and waving
flags. Someone called for three cheers
for David B. Hill, which were given
and the band then played Dixie"
When the excitement had subsidized
Mr.. Harrity resumed his announcement
as follows:
For temporary secretary, Hon. Simon
P. Sheerin, Of Indiana; for sergeant
alarms, Col. John I. Martin, of Mis-
sCuri; assistant secretaries, reading
clerks and tellers have been reported

silver Men Shouted Themselves
Hoarse Over Their Victory.
This signal victory OF the silver men was
greeted with an ovation from the convention
and regarded as conclusive of their strength.
The chairman attempted to restore order by
hammering with his gavel on his desk.
Sergeant-at-Arms John martin, of ST. Louis,
came to his rescue, and, in a voice of COM
mand, ordered every delegate to take his
seat; he also ordered his assistants to clear
the aisles.
When order had been restored, the chair
man said unless objection be made the
chair will regard the vote which has just
been announced as a practical rejection Of
the choice of the national committee and will
consider it unnecessary to put it to formal
vote. There being no objection, the chair
man will appoint a committee of three to
escort Hon. John w. Daniel to the chair
Hon. J. f. Jones, of Arkansas; Hon. r. P.
Heating and Hon. Stephen M. White, Of Cal
ifornia.
AS the committee appeared on the plat
form with the Virginia senator the demon
stration of the silver men was renewed.
Senator Daniel has the appearance Of an old
time statesman, smooth shaver, with clear
cut features and raven black hair, and
wearing the conventional black frock coat
OF the old days, he looked as IL he had
stepped out Of some picture Of the senate Of
the past. He bowed profoundly in response
to the ovation he received.
He talked easily to Chairman Harrity until
the noise subsided. In opening he paid a
graceful compliment to Mr.. Harrity for the
fairness in which he had presided over the
convention and referred with regret to the
necessity which had compelled him to stand
antagonism to the great senator from New
York. Then plunging into the subject be-
fore him he drew picture Of the great up
heaval In favor Of free silver which had
swept the country. He said:
