JULIAN BURROUGHS CHOICE.
Writer and Nature Student Lives OF
5-Acre Grape Farm.

Writer and Nature Student Lives on
5-Acrs Grape Farm.
The name Of John Burroughs, the
charming writer and nature student, is
doubtless familiar to most of our read
ers Mr. Burroughs, on his little 5-acre
grape farm near Schenectady, n. T.,
surrounded by his woods, fields, birds
and flowers, manages to gain more
comfort and satisfaction out OF life
than the average millionaire. He has
gone long way toward mastering the
delicate art of approaching and cuIu-
waiting the friendship of nature. 1t
will be news to some who have enjoyed
Mr.. Burroughs books to hear that ne
has a son, Julian Burroughs, who has
found his fathers mode of life so ideal
and attractive that he has decided to
adopt 1t for himself. Last month Ju-
liam was graduated from Harvard Uni
versity He is probably the only one
OF his class who intends to take up
farming Passing by the glitter and
attraction Of a commercial or profess
sional career, into which most OF his
chums have entered, he will retire to
his fathers farm and spend his life
there in study and labor near to ma
lures heart At college he made
speciality Of the English branches to
fit himself as writer and student OF
literature He will take his culture
and educations back to the farm, where
he will lead the life of a simple rustic,
writing books and articles for maya
zines, with nature as his material.
Young Burroughs is fond of hunting
and fishing He is Of strong. athletic
build. At Harvard he won some dis
tinction as an oarsman. Whlle mis-
weight is only 1870 pounds. he was con-
sidered one OF the best single oarsmen
in the university. At the metropolitan
regatta last year he captur ID first place
in the junior race. He also had a good
record as a runner. Some college men
would think the life young Burroughs
has chosen a slow one, and that he Is
not making the most of his education,
but Julian points to the calm. deEgnt-
full life OF his father and says that Is
enough to satisfy him.-Ioung Peo-

The Owner Married the Man Who Stole

The Office of Magistrate Conohan, in
Wilkesbarre, Pa, was the scene OF a
novel wedding today. the participants
IN which were Miss Mathilda Parker
son, aged SO, and Hiram Johnson,
aged So Miss PaTkerson and John
son claimed the ownership OF a little
pig. Miss PaTkerson said it was her
pig and Hiram took an oath that the
pig was mis- property. After squab-
bling for ten days the matter was
brought before Justice Conohan, who
promised TO settle the dispute. The
pig was brought TO the squire's office
and the Interested parties were on
hand. Miss Patterson swore the pig
was hers. Then Johnson was sworn.
He called the pig by name and the lit
tie one followed him all over the room.
He had trained the pig and for half
an hour he amused the squire and all
the witnesses. The alderman finally
rendered the following verdict: That
the pig should be killed and roasted
and divided equally between Miss
Parkerson and Hiram Johnson. Both
protested. They did not want TO see
the pig killed. Miss ParkersOn said
she would save the pig if she had to
die for it. The squire suggested that
they get married-it would save the
pig and they would both own it. Hiram
said he would not propose to Miss
Patterson as he was ashamed. After
some hesitation Mathilda Iall. asked
Hiram If he would becom, her hus-
band. The justice remembered that he
bad a wedding ring in the safe that
had been left there for sec Irity. The
groom bought it for 81. 80. The couple
then got a marriage license and the
alderman made them man ana wife,
thus saving the life Of the pig. After
the alderman had kissed the pair and
wished them a prosperous life they
got into the farm wagon, the pig be-
tween them, and drove home.-Phila-
