The Florida Rnxorhack.

The Florida "razorback" Is the hog
indigenous to this climate and soil. He
is usually large of limb and fleet of
foot, being the only known porker that
can outrun a darby. He has tail OF
wondrous length, which, while he is in
active motion, he twists into the tight
est corkscrew, but with which while
quietly feeding he raps his leathery
sides much in the same manner that
the docile cow uses her tail.
He Is self supporting. He earns his
own living and thriyes equally well in
the highwoods, In the flatwoods, In the
hummocks and In the marshes. He
subsists upon anything he can find
above the earth or underneath its sur
face. He has a clear. farseelng eye
and is very sensitive of hearing. Ma
ture has equipped him with snout al
most as long as the beak of the wild
pelican of Borneo, with which he can
penetrate the earth many inches In
quest of worms, snakes and insects.
He Is the most intelligent of all the
hogs and Is likewise the most coura-
geous He has been known to engage In
mortal combat with a coon for the pos
session of a watermelon and to rend
asunder a barbed wire fence.-Forest

81 was startled the other day and In
an entirely new way" said prominent
electrical engineer. 1.-THE use of the
telephone has become so much part
of my life that in talking with my
friends and acquaintance every few
days | apparently kept up the ae-
ouaintance as of old, when | used to
see them more regularly. few days
ago had occasion to visit an old time
friend of mine with whom had talked
probably once a week or oftener for
the past three or four years, but whom
had not seen during that period.
when | met him, was startled. His
black beard had turned gray, almost
white, and he had changed In other
respects, as was natural. during the
three or four years of that period, yet
through the use of the telephone | had
in my minds eye seen him as Of old
every time l had talked with him, and
you may imagine how surprised, even
shocked, was to see this change In
| him.
"Did you ever have similar expert
ence? | imagine the increasing use of
the telephone causes many of them.
You hear the usual voice on the tele-
phone and mentally picture the friend
as he looked when you saw him last
which may have been year or several
years In the past" Electrical Review.

They Like Fat Girl. In runi..

A Tunislan girl has no chance of mar
rage unless she tips the scale at 200
pounds, and to that end she commences
to fatten when she Is 10 years old. She
takes aperients and eats great deal
of sweet stuff and leads a sedentary
life to hasten the process. Up to ID she
Is very handsome, but at 20 what an
immense, unwieldy mass of fat she be-
comes! She waddles, or. rather, undu-
lates, along the street. Her costume Is
very picturesque, especially If she be
of the richer class. They are clothed
In fine silks of respondent hues of a
bright red, yellow or green and wear q
sort of conical shaped headdress, from
which depends loose white drapery.
Turkish trousers and dainty slippers,
the heel of which barely reaches the
middle OF the foot, complete the cos

A Cruel BIunder.

Two brothers had the habit of calling
on the same South Side girl. One OF
the brothers. George, was to take part
in some private theatricals, and the
girl had promised to fix up a shirt and
a pair Of shoes for his costume. The
articles were to be delivered to her on
a certain evening.
Frank, the second brother, took It In
to his head to call on the girl that same
evening. Frank knew nothing of the
arrangements George had made with
her to help him with his costume. He
rang the bell asked the maid to tell the
girl that Mr.. Allen had called and sat
down In the parlor.
The maid went up stairs and present
ly returned, trying hard not to smile.

So the Railroad Man Bought the Pig

Woman In an emergency is resource
full to a degree that would astound
some men. as freight agent of one OF
the railroads that enter st. Louis
found. Men have long lain awake
nights thinking of sheme to beat
railroad. This little woman didn't quite
succeed. but she would have done so
bad not the agent gone back ON his
eord. The family had decided to move
10 a western city. The lady called on
the agent to see how the goods were to
be shipped. He told her she could ship
them according to regular rates or else
charter q car. He explained that the
latter would be cheaper II she had
enough goods, and the lady decided to
take a car. Now, there are two well
grown boys, and as money Is not over
plentiful In the family she wished to
abridge expenses as much as possible.
She went to see the agent again and
asked IL she could send her two boys
In the car. He told her that she could
not, and, as might be expected, she
asked why. He couldn't make her
uuueTSldnu just why, anu VhSh oa2O
asked him IL the company never let
anybody go along with the goods he
said that they did with stock. IF you
were shipping live stock that needed
tending, we would do 1t. Now, you
haven't cow or horse or pig, and there
would be no use sending any one
along" She appeared to see the point
this time and went away. A day or
two later she came around again and
asked for passes for the two boys.
why, madam" said the agent, II
can't issue any passes. You haven't
any live stock"
Yes, have" said the little woman.
"Pve bought pig
Then the agent was In trouble again.
He said he couldn't give passes where
the fare amounted to about So apiece
for two boys for lonely little pig. She
reminded him of what he had said and
told him that she had paid 1925 for the
pig for that purpose, and he ought to
be as good as his word. Like all rail-
road agents, he tried to get out of the
trouble smoothly, but only succeeded
after he had purchased the pig for
$3.50, an advance of two bits" on the
