The Story or Pig That Was Once Fa-
nous Pet.

While General Zachary Taylor was at
Fort .Jessup, Louisiana, his daughter,
Miss Elizabeth, or Miss Betty, as she was
called, was much admired and great ia
vorite with the regiments then in the bar
racks. Both the officers and the privatcs
felt personal pride in their generals
pretty young daughter and would do any
thing to please her.
One day, some of the soldiers of the Sec
ond dragons had a pig given them to
roast. 1t was white, and was such cum
ming little thing that the men concluded
TO keep IL and try to teach it some tricks.
Thinking that they were paying Miss Tay-
lor a compliment, the soldiers called their
pet miss Betty" after her.
1t was kept Immediately clean, and
soon became as devoted to the soldiers as a
dog could have been and really was a
knowing creature, not at all like most of
its stupid kind. 1t would answer the
bugle call to mess as promptly as the SOL
diers themselves did, and when it had
eaten all they had to spare, il would trot
over to the officers quarters for share of
the dainties that always were saved for it,.
Miss Betty" enjoyed romping with the
children i'm the barracks until too fat to care
for the exertion, after which she used TO
lie comfortably where she could watch
them and take her ease at the same time.
1t was said that Miss Betty Taylor did
not appreciate the compliment so much as
the soldiers thought she would, for her fla
| theirs friends among the young officers
| leased her numerically about her name
sake, but she did fully appreciate the good
| feeling and never let them think otherwise
Miss Betty Taylor was very young al
that time, as it was but few years before
her father became president of the United
| States, in lS49.
| When the Second dragons were ordered
away from Fort Jessup, the pet pig wal
given to the wife of one of the young
officers in the other regiment. When, IL
turn, her husbands regiment left, she wa
obliged to pass the gift along to others
and it squite possible that poor Miss Bet

wounded and Captured Bandits Whose
Nerve Nothing but Death Could Destroy.
1.-THE old, adage that there's honor
among thieves was proved true in the his
tory of the bad men who infested the In
dian Territory and Oklahoma when out
siders moved into that fertile land" said
Ed Kelley of Guthrie, o. Il. Mr.. Kelley
has been deputy United States marshal
i'm Oklahoma for many years, and was a
prominent leader of the posse that so often
gave battle to the hard riders and free
hooters of that country. He has ridden the
trail behind the Daltons, Zip Wyatt, Tulsa
Jack and all the other long haired gun
men, and captured plenty of the small fry
of "ornery cusses" of the frontier. He
knows all about the gangs and can call
their names and tell the end of the many
who have been taken.
Eyes, sir" he continued, there was
honor among the thieves there, and OF the
many I've seen taken / never knew one
who would squeal on his pals when he was
captured or shot. They hated the deputy
marshals, and when we had a shooting
match and they would get the worst of IL
they would die cursing us and howl with
glee If they could learn we wanted certain
information or that some Of our plans had
miscarried. | saw one member of Tulsa
Jacks party, when nc had "a dozen bullet
holes in him and was dying, raise up on
his elbow, damn every deputy marshal he
could see, and swear he could whip any
man in the territory single handed IL he
had gun and an even chance. When
| they were shot and disarmed they would
try to grab our pistols from us when We
were endcavoring to make them comfort

FOR HIS MOTHERS SAKE,
Sentimental Southern Girl Wanted to
Kiss the Dead Lieutenant.

Kiss the Dead Lieutenant.
Down in Virginia in the summer of
1863, " said one of the veterans, "a lot of
us were quartered in an old wooden tene'
ment, and in the inner room of one of the
wings lay the body of young rebel officer
awaiting burial The news soon spread
TO village not far off, and pretty soon
down came sentimental specimen of Nir-
ginia young womanhood, not bad look
ing girl at all.
Let me kiss him for his mother, she
exclaimed as / asked her what she wanted
DO let me kiss him for his mother'
The dear little lieutenant, she re-
piled, the one that lies dead in the house
l never saw him, but do so want to kiss
him for his dear mothers sakeP
II thought she couldn't do us any
harm by kissing corpse, so led her IN
The way lay through room in which
lieutenant of our own forces-a good look
ing, dare devil sort of young fellow-lay
asleep on sofa.

art, and took him for the corpse she was
in search of Before / could tell her any
different she rushed up to him. exclaim
ing. Let me kiss him for his mother. and
the next minute her lips touched his.

when the supposed corpse threw his arms
around her neck and said Never mind

THE lieutenant got the worst or IT,

On Saturday October 2, the Copper
Country Evening NEWS published re-
print OF the st. Louis Republic headed,
"rrade in bogus diplomas; bogus colleges
hundreds posing as physicians who are
not entitled to practice, nearly all hold
ing these diplomas are ignorant OF the
rudiments of medieine
The article further goes on to state
that there are two Of these bogus col
leges now domlciled in Illinois. Up toa
few months ago there was another hold
ing "a charter from the State OF Wiscon-
sin, but in consequence Of the removal OF
it's headquarters to Illinois the charter
has been forfeited at the instgation of
the State officials.
Long before the above article appeared
in the local papers have we warned the
people OF the copper country OF the un-
scrupulous men who are rracticing med
icine; there are thousands of them scat
tered throughout this country, who make
living by praying upon the sick and

to be careful whom they employ as their
physician, as he may be one who has
either bought or stolen piece Of paper,
and after filing in his name, calls tia

and in every profession we find some

no other instance can one go hOodwink

Before entrusting your medical adviser
with your money, health or secrets, be
sure that he ia II physician or ia connect
ed with reputable medical institute;
avoid all medical institutes whose propri

never having graduated from a medical
college, ia obliged to hide his identity by
advertising the name OF some one at

The people OF the copper country have

PRINTING CONTRACT AWARDED.
Hartman & Cadick, of Washington,
the Lowest Bidders.

The contract for the District printing
was yesterday awarded to Hartman *
Cadick, of this city, thus settling the much
discussed matter to the satisfaction OF
everybody except, perhaps, he out-of-
town bidders
The Commissioners, 1t will be rernem-
bered by Times readers, when the bids
were opened before found that the lowest
bidders were from firms outside of Wash
ington. This was unsatisfactory TO them,
as they desired that at least part of the
printing should be- done in the District
As, no wcver, the law gives them no
option but to award the contract TO the
lowest bidder, tile Commissioners were
advised ny Attorney for the Di istrict
Thomas that their only alternative would
be to rcadvertise for bids. Accordingly
all former bids were rejected, and the
contracts announced as again open
This plan proved highly successful as
results yesterday prove. Aside from
Hartman & Cadick, who bid 29 cents per
200 ems, the bidders were as follows:
The Dunlop Printing Company, of Phila
delphia, 80 cents per 900 ems; Byron s.
Adams, or Washington, 32 "a cents per
LOCO ems: Metropolitan Job Printing
Company, 33 cents per 1 ZOO ems
