Thres hours later the man sat ct a
CHEEKY little dinner in London, little
farewell meal with few old college
friends. After which he went on board
his steamer and walked the deck in the

these thoughts that the pipe went cut,

until at last, his elbow being logged ae-
cidentslly, he csme back to the near
present again, and, taking the cold pips
from his lips, tapped It out on the rail.
Then. while the ashes were yet floating
down to the waters, he went below to
his berth and slept soundly.

welcome, is honored beyond them all.
That he would ever stand beneath her
roof, accept her hospitality, had been a
prayer she never dreamed would meet

hand was laid in his; mis- voice, with
none of its old sweetness gone, assured
her that not yet has he found forget

HOW 1T IS DONE
Something About Hogs and How They are
Killed,


Killed.
+. There was an immense lot Of fine, fat
black and slick porkers assaulted and
assassinated and scalded at Dold's pack
ing house yesterday. A reporter for the
Eagle got there just in time to be at the
killing, and it was certainly worth see
irg. He followed the hogs from the stock
yards over to the packing house, and
some Of them were slaughtered and in
the cooling room before the reporter got
there. The man who never saw a hog
disposed of in a packing house has no
idea Of the rapidity with which 1t can be
done. Away UP at the too or the build

an eighth part of second after the hog
is stuck he has reached a point on the

boiling water, a lever is sprung and the
animal drops into it. He is not there more

sprung and he is thrown UP on a plat
