This story is told of a promi-
nent preacher: On a hot Sab
bath as he was preaching he
took from his pocket what he
thought was his handkerchief,
shook it out and wiped his face,
intently talking all the time,
To his surprise broad smile
was on every face in his audi
ence, when lie discovered that
what he had put in his pocket
for handkerchief that morning
was Il pair of his little chld's
drawers, the legs of which were
quite visible as he wiped the
perspiration from his face

Economy In Hog Killing.

AS this is the season when
hog killing IS most comn)n it
is worth while to remind those
who have but one or two or even
three hogs to kill that it is far
cheaper to take these where Il
larger number are to be slauGh.
tered, aud where there are all
the cOnvenienCes, than to kill
the hogs at home, says the Fruit
Grower and Practical Farmer.
Heating the water aud getting
ready generally take Il good
deal Of time. Whe1 this is done,
the work Of killing and dress
ing requires comparatively lit
tie. 1t is far better for farmers
to cooperate in this work than
in any other we know. Eacl,
farmer who has only a few hogs
to kill can have this job done
for him much cheaper as wei
as more easily than he can dc
it for himself

When Pigs Lose Their Tails. /,
A great many little pigs are
"dehorned" behind very early
in life by being allowed to sleep
in damp. filthy beds where the
litter Of which it is composed is
fermenting, says the Western
Swineherd. In the case of pure
bred pigs, when the tails drop
off, several dollars drop off the
price if they are to be sold as
breeders, and for pigs bred for
market that treatment canuot
be good which causes the skin
to girdle and crack until the
tails tall off entirely. When
the pigs come they should be
made warm aud comfortabl
and there should at first be no
unnecessary disturbance of the
youngsters, but by the third day
bedding should be changed and
new, clean, dry straw given.
A hot, steaming bed is bad tor
them in many ways, of which
the dropping off of tails is only
one symptom.

In Deer Lodge.

Deer Lodge, March 25.--In the en-
gagement of the famous Chicago Lady
quartette, which organization is to ap-
pear in an initial performance before
a Deer Lodge audience on the evening
of April J., society in our village is all
astir in the rich anticipation of an
event of much moment to its lovers
of good music. Scarcely any combina-
ton of the worlds greatest musical
a more hearty welcome from the gen.
eral public than this galaxy of star
vocalistS, who have sung their way
into the hearts of the American peo-
pie, and their engagement in this min
iature city promises success the or
ganiZation so richly merits. The Chi
cago Lady quartette, who do honor to
the city from which they hail by their
artistic work, finds its personnel in the
following well known names. Grace
Caborn. soprano; Jessie E. Dunn, mez-
zo-soprano and pianist; Rose Lutiger,
contralto and accompanist; Alice Mer-
rill Raymond, phenomenal alto soloist
and musical director. Aside from a
prominence in the musical world these
ladies hold enviable association in the
social life of the inter ocean metropolis,
which fact commends them to a closer
affiiation with the good people of a
community than the average travelling
entertainers could hope to enjoy. AS
ISOLATED with the quartette on this
their eighth annual tour is Zulieme
Searles Bolkcom, queen of imperson-
ators, whose readings and faultless
Swedish character representations have
placed her in the front rank of elocu-
tionists of the day. Appended is the
