Pig Drives Cows.
A Remarkable Pig Indeed.
Western Recorder.

Mr.. Samuel Marker, of Loamsdale,
ILL.,, claims to haYe the most remarka-
bic pig in the country, according to
Chicago paper. 1t is the general i'm
preston that pig is not remarkably
careful about his personal appearance.
In fact, "dirtier than pig" is time
honored aphorism.
But Mr.. Markers pig is different.
Mr.. Marker says that every morning
his pet pig, which he has named "Beau
Brummel" because OF Its tidy habits,
will squeal until some one goes to 1t
with a sponge and gives it careful
wash. Beau Brummel will even refuse
to touch his morning meal, no matter
how hungry he is, until he has had his
matutlnal bath.
Mr.. Marker took the pig away from
the rest of the kind when it was only
few days old and had it brought up on
bottle in respectable Gordon-collie
family. The mamma collie, after few
days of deliberation, adopted the pig
as member of her family, ard has
worked earnestly to make it good,
obedient collie. Her efforts in this di.
rection have not been entirely success
ful. but at least, with Mr.. Markers as
slstance, she has helped materially in
reforming some of Beau Brummel's in
herited attributes. Beau Brummel re-
fuses to waliow, like common pigs do,
In a nasty puddle of water. He does
not put both front feet into the trough
and gulp up his food after the usual
manner of his kind.
Beau Brummel has raced around with
he dogs until he has learned many OF
heir ways, and he Is about as good at
TRYING as any of the collles. Mr.. Mar
ker often sends Beau down to the pas
ture at night to driye up the Marker
family bessie, and he says Beau will
scamper away to the meadow. pick the
Marker COW out of herd of twelve or
fifteen COWS, and drive the animal home
as we'll as any of the collies can do.
II the COW tries to 60 the wrong way,
Beau rushes in front Of her, squealing
like a steam siren, and the bessie in
dismay turns about and goes in the
right direction.
If squeallng has no effect on the cow,
then Beau flies at her and bites hel
ankles until the COW finally surrenderf
and consents to 60 peaceably home
Mr. Marker says that the crowninq
sorrow of Beau's otherwise happy ex.
istence lies in the fact that he cannot
bark like the collies can. He used tc
make frantic efforts in this direction
md always appeared inexpressibly
~hocked that his best attempts only
resulted in dismal equeals.
Finally he accepted the situation
philosophically aud is now more con
ented with his lot. Too much so, ir
flct, for OF late he has fallen into tht
dog habit of baying at the moon, only
8eau's bays are series of remarkable
-queals that are calculated to driye al
thought OF sleep far from the minds O
I'll the neighbors who live in the yicin

AGING Rapidly.

Selected.
A conductor on one of the READING &
"locals" was handed ticket for Wayne
junction by q lady who boarded hls
train the other day In the company of
a bright looking little girl. He looked
at the child and then asked for anoth-
or ticket.
"1've meyer bad to pay for her b.
fore" kas the mothers reply.
"How old is shei" asked the con-
ductor.
Give years."
"Why, mamma! I'm six !" protest.
cd the child.
"She's--she's nearly six" hurriedly
explained the mother. "That 10, she's
just going on six"
The conductor looked at the mother
for second, and then, as be turned
away, said:
"Well, madam, il I were you I'd
buy q ticket for her on the return trip
She's likely to be all OF Elk by them"

conneotiout's Good Roadk

Selected.
For the amount of money spent, no
State is making moro rapid advance
than Connecticut in securing gooo
roads. Construction ls left with the
towns, but the State pays two-thirds
the cost where the town has over q
million dollars of property taxed ana
three-tourths of the cost In towns
where the property is below million
dollars. Thus the poorer towns receive
most help, yet the richer communities
are eager to comply with the act and
to appropriate their share of the cost.
Since 1895, when the plan was start
ed, 162 towns out of the 1853 In the
State haye complied with the law, ana
have commenced road improvement,
the results of which are already quite
remarkable. During the past two
years 1873 miles of road have been
practically completed. The change in
conditions of travel Is becoming fully
appreciated throughout the State, and
there is pressure each year for increase
of the appropriations. One very i'm
portant result is the training given
town officials in the art Of road con.
struction and repair, so that old, worth
less methods are being given up, and
the towns are getting more for their
money.
In securing the cooperation of prac.
tically all the towns and In arousing
general interest in road improvement
throughout the State, the Connecticut
plan seems to have surpassed the State
or county method as practiced, say in
Massach usetts and in New Jersey. The
weak point of the Connecticut saystem
has been the lack of connection be.
tween the improved sections of road
but this fault is disappearing with the
new constructions made year by year
