PIG DYING OF GRIEF.
[F'rom the Boston Globe.1

From the Boston ClObe-l
A little pig on Smiths Island is vast
ing slowly away-dying, in fact, of
grief, because of its separation from a
COW to which it was devotedly attach
ed.
Smiths Island, composed of 100 acres
or more, is about a mile distant
from NorwaIk, Conn. A light house
stands on its eastern coast, and its on
" inhabitants are Samuel Armour and
his mother.
To soften her state of semf-isolatfon,
as well as because they are profitable,
Mrs. Armour raises quite a little farm
yard stock, such as ducks, hens, a goat
and a COW. The name of the COW is
Pansy. Pansy arrived on Smiths Is
land when only a calf, and consequent
Iy knows little of the outside world and
its devious ways.
From her infancy she had come in
contact with hens and ducks and geese;
she even rubbed skirts with a goat;
but one quadruped Pansy had not seen
was a pig. When, therefore, last spring
Mr.. Armour brought to Smiths Island
from the main land a fat little pig it's
appearance caused Pansy a good deal
of surprise and excited the farm yard
generally.
The little pig was not popular by any
means. AS for Pansy, she could not
bear the sight of it. Buffo (Which is
the name of the little pig) from the
first manifested an intense affection for
Pansy's heart gradually softened
toward the poor little pOrker, and final
ly, to parody Mary and her little lamb,
every place that Pansy went the pig
was sure to go.
Although in time the other live stock
came to assume an attitude Of benevo-
lent neutrality toward Buffo, the dog
was an exception. He frequently chased
Buffo for its dear life, but after awhile
Pansy interposed in it's behalf, and
when Hector pressed Buffo too closely
would take the pig in her mouth, and,
lifting it high in the air, keep it there
out of harms way until the danger had
passed away.
And now stress of circumstances has
parted the loyal comrades. Mrs. Ar
mour, who is no longer young, finding
that caring for a COW with her other
duties was too much for her, sold Pan
sy TO a farmer for much less than her
value, provided that she should never
be given to the butcher. When Buffo
missed it's friend, which was very soon,
it was inconsolable. Its sQueals of grief
could be heard all over the island. 1t
has since then refused it's food and
grows thinner each day.
1t is probable that Mrs. Armour will
sell or give Buffo away to the same
farmer; otherwise the days of the at
fectionate little pig will have been
numbered, and a grave will be dug
somewhere on Smiths Island.
