grunt of satisfaction and lay down
again.
"By Georgel but that's funny" said
Mr.. Bowser.
"What is it9" asked Mrs. Bower, who
had just arrived.
"Why, you see, he was as calm az a
frog pond while I stood here, but the
minute I turned and left the pen he
went into a sort of fit and tried to get
out"
''Tve heard that was the way with
Merino hogs" sagely observed Mrs.
Bowser. "They want the company of
a human being or they won't thrive"
Lets try him again."
They backed away a few feet, and
the hog sprang up. with a squeak, and
leaped for the top of the pen and fell
back with a crash. When they hur
ried forward, he presented the same
picture as before, with the addition of
an extra kink in his tail.
"What in thunder dye s'pose ails
the critter3" exclaimed Mr.. Bowser as
the hog backed off and kept that
cleaning eye on him.
cts lst as I said," replied Mrs.
Bowser. He wants company of a
human being. You were lonely for a
hog. You will have to stand right
here and give him the benefit of your
society"
I'll be hanged if I do. The idea of q
hog cutting up in this fashion. He'll
either quit this tomtoolery or I'll brain
him with an AK"
You'd better stay out here two OF
three days and nights anyhow sug.
gested Mrs Bowser.
"Oh, I had. Well, I don't stop one
minute. If this blamed critter thinks
he's come here to run Farmer Bowser,
he can't get rid of the idea too soon.
I'll give him human company before
get through with him. Let's back of
again."
They had ~retreated twenty feet when
the hog uttered q shrek Of anger OF
anguish or something and caught the
top board of the pen with his fore feet
and hung there. As he hung he
shrieked again and again, and while
Mrs. Bowser ran for the house, Mr..
Bowser picked up a club and dashed
forward. He had bestowed two Whacke
on the snout pointing into the air when
something fell on him and walked all
over him and rooted him over and
over on the grass. 1t was the hog
the whole hog-the Merino hog which
languiehes for human society. When
he got through with MI. Bowser, he
took a turn around the yard to get the
geographical location of the front gate,
When he had got it, he took a run
ming jump and carried it off its hinges,
and as Mrs. Bowser looked out of the
window he was whisking up the road
in a cloud of dust after a young mar
on a bycicle. She went down to Mr..
Bowser, who was sitting up, with his
back against the pen, and looking at a
knothole in the hen house door.
"Wen9" she queried.
He didn't reply.
80 your Merino hog is gone9"
He never Winked.
what you ought to have done was
to have hired some one at $50 a month
to give that hog his society, being you
couldn't spare the time"
He gazed straight into the knothole
and wouldn't even scratch when a bug
bit him. Mrs. Bowser was not a re-
vengeful wife, and so she gave him a
gentle pat on the head and left him.

the San Francisco Examiner
says: while the attention of the
world has been concentrated on
the Cretan and Cuban complica.
tions events have been moving
rapidly in the Pacific. 1t looks
now as if the time may have come
to settle definitely the question
whether America or Japan is to
control Hawaii. Fortunately the
crisis has not found the man
agement of our foreign policy in
the hands of Cleveland, and weak
as Mr.. Mckinley seems to be in
the Mediterranean, he is hardly
likely to tolerate any interference
with our traditional supremacy
in the islands that we have civ.
lized aud commercially annexed.
"The Hawaiian Government, in
attempting to restrict The Jap
anese immigration that is rapid
ly giving the country an entirely
new population, has undertaken
to apply some of the same rules
the United States applies to the
Chinese. 1t permits the GUS
toms officers to decide upon the
qualifications Of applicants fur
landing, aud does not recognize
any vested right Of persons who
have not yet set foot on Ha-
waiian soil to use the courts to
cripple the national policy. 1t
also requires vessels that have
brought passengers not entitled
to land to carry them back.
"The japanese are so numerous
aud aggressive in Hawaii that
they are not inclined to submit
quietly to the laws. They have
to their Government for
protection, and it is understood
that a Japanese naval force is en-
its way to the islands to back up
the demands Of the MtEado's
representative.
"Of course this is something
that the United States cannot per-
NIT to proceed to eXtremities.
We like the japanese, in their
own country; we sympathiae hearth
ly with them when they try to
extend their power over Corea,
Formosa and other regions with
in their natural sphere of in
huence, and we should even be
for them to crowd Spain
out of the Philippines; but when
they come two-thirds Of the way
