man driving a pig into a potato patch

followed the pig through the narrow
gate and was trying to drive 1t out

ceeding, and when ! came opposite the
gate 1 pulled up my horse and sat
watching the young fellow and the pig.
If you never tried to get a pig out OF
a potato patch you can form no idea
OF what a job IL is, and as i watched
this young mountaineer patiently chas-

The Destructive English Sparrow.

l once saw single pugnac;ous lit
tie house wren engage q whole flock
of English sparrows. He was more
than a match for three or four of
them; but in the end, / regret to
say, he was killed outright before
my eyes. This is the only instance
of the kind l have ever seen. A lady
friend tells me that a Baltimore
Oriole started to build his wonder
full pensile nest last season in an
apple tree near her home and that
the English sparrows made bitter
war upon him and his house. She
watched the struggle one evening,
and the next morning, the oriole
not appearing, she went into her
garden and found him lying dead
under the apple tree, with his head
pecked open. / have often been
witness to the violent interference
by them in the nest building of rob
ms and orioles, and, outnumbered
as our native birds are, they always
relinquish their task. Here is
problem. A report presented to US
by the department of agriculture
shows that single pair of English
sparrows may in single decade

Effects of Observation-Disclosures Among Merr-

when they lay them in the rack at
the clubhouse. There have been fire.

members have been unable to find
thei. own hats when ready to go

a membership largely made up of
staid, middle aged merchants, man.

and there is not the slightest reason
for attributing the exchange of
headgear to POPULARITY or convivial-
ity.

mind when a sober lawyer goes
home with derby three sizes too
small for him perched on the top of
his head and compels some equally
grave member to wear a hat which
rests on his ears, or when member
leaves his silk hat behind and hur.
ries home wearing a soft hat which
is the counterpart of one hanging in
his own hall.
1t is said that this latter occur
renee happened quite recently and

and saw his own brown alpine on
the hall rack he compared the two
hurriedly and FASTENED back to the
club just in time to find the owner
of the brown hat making time
about its disappearance. The fus-
tered member handed over the soft
hat and explained the mistake, but
was still more fustered when the
other member said:
But this is not my hat. buy nv
hats of Smith, and this is one of

In comparing the hats in his hall
the absentminded member had nat
urally put his own hat on his head

however, and the exchange was
made that night. Another case

BRUIN ON A cOWCATCHER.
After He Got OF There Was 8 LIVELY
Bear Hunt.

After He Got OF There Was a Lively
Bear Hunt.
Not long ago as railroad train
was passing through Wilders cut,
near Olcut Run, Pa, the engineer
was astonished to see a black bear
coming around sharp curve. The
cuts so narrow that there is hardly
room tor man to stand aside and
allow an engine to pass without
striking him.
Bruln was more amazed than the
engineer. Instead of stepping aside
he reared on his launches and await
ed events. The locomotive was run
ming less than 20 miles an hour, for
the place is dangerous one. Upon
seeing the bear the engineer shut off
steam and applied the brakes, but
the distance was too short to escape
an accident. The cowcatcher slid
under the hind legs of the brute and
lifted him off the ground.
Thinking all trouble was over, the
engineer put on steam once more.
while the fireman climbed out of tie
cab window and stole along the
guard rail to find out what had be-
come Of the bear. He was there.
clasplng the cowcatcher, the lower
part of his body just grazing the
ground and his head almost reach
ing the bottom of the headlight. He
seemed to understand that the only
thing he could do was to hold fast,
and he did SO during the run to the
next station, ten miles distant. The
station agent was standing at the
depot door as the train approached.
The sight of a full grown bear on
the cowcatcher fairly took away his
breath.
AS soon as the engine came to
standstill bruin slipped from his
perch and made a break for free
dom. This took him straight toward
the agent. who dashed through the
door, slammed it shut, leaped
through the rear door and went up
the street at furious rate, calling
out: "Bearl Bear! Somebody get
gnn!" -
Soon the town was in q turmoil. a
yelling crowd following in hot pur-
suit of the bear, some of the boys
pelting him with stones. Suddenly
big shepherd dog bounced out of
a yard and dashed after the bear.
Bruin paused but minute or two.
bat when he passed ON the rash dog
had no future interest in the pro-
oeedines.
At the street corner lawyer car
ryipg double barreled gun came
face to face with the bear, but the
latter turned down the nearest alley.
The crowd increased and encircled
the frightened animal, making es-
cape impossible. Finding himself at
bay. bruin backed up against the
barn, rearing on his launches. The
lawyer sent two bullets into the
bear, wheYeupon the wounded ami
NAL charged the crowd. One urchin
fell, was trampled upon and had a
leg broken. The lawyer slipped an
other bullet into his gun and sent
the shot through bruins head and
finished him.
By this time the engineer and fire.
