In that part Of Chicago known as
Hyde Park there is Il large area called
the "prohibited district" within which
there are no saloons. the sale of liquor
being strictly forbidden by law.
Places are found occasionally. how
ever, where liquors are sold illegally
and by stealth. These are called by
the police "blind pigs" There are sew
eral stories rs to the way in which this
term originated. Among them is the
following:
Several men known to be Of bibulons

Poor Boys Who Became Great Men.
Abraham Lincoln was rail splitter.
Benjamin Franklin cut wicks and
made molds for tallow candles.
James a. Garfield drove horse on

William Dean Howells, one of our

III NuiuSJs
In the hallway of philadelphia
doctors house stands a fine example Of
IL grandfather's clock, the possession Of
which the medical man owes entirely
to a pinch of snuff, says the Philadel.
phia Record. Some years ago the doc
tor in question set his heart upon such
timepiece, and devoted two of his
vacations to clockhunting. lie visited
many New England farmhouses with
out success, as old furniture has been
pretty we'll gathered up by the dealers
down east" and then carried his
quest into Delaware and Maryland,
where he found many old clocks, but
none of them for sale.
He was about to return home dis.
consulate when he was called into COLI
sultation overa patient dying of quinsy.
The resources of medicine had been ex.
hausted, when the Quaker city doctor
bethought himself of an old snutfboX
he had picked up during his wander
ings, in which still fingered IL modicum
of snuff pungent as of yore. With this
powerful tobacco the doctor assailed
the nostrils of the sick man. who, sneez-
ing violently, broke the abscess in his
throat that was choking him to death.
Stimulants We're administered and the
sick man recovered.
The Philadelphia doctor left the place
the morning after this remarkable
operation, but he had not been home q
week before the grateful Marylander
sent him Il grandfather's clock, ac-
companied by card, upon which was
written: "Ths clock, which struck the
hour Of my birth, would have ais,
marked the hour of my death If your
skill and knowledge had not stayed the
hand of the destroyer"
