The little rear room of "skin" Don
nelys saloon, on Salem alley, in the city
Of P. was the Rendezvous OF the middle
class OF crooks, who were fortunate
enough to keep out OF the clutches of
the law.
Just how Donnely happened TO have
the cognomen OF Skin attached 10 his
name. and Just what sort OF a looking
place this back room was matters little.
IL was sometimes whispered that the
place was a fence" but nothing could
ever be proven against the proprietor, so
every morning. promptly at o'clock. the
little green doors began to swing on their
hinges, and continued so until late at
night when the frequenters were too
seldom to keep open longer.
Then the congenial or uncongenial
''Skln"--just as he happened to be feeling
would awaken the sleepers at the va
rious tables. with the cry "time to shut
up" and one by one they would pass out
between the swinging doors 20 their re-
spective homes or lodgings. Day by day
this went on, varied by an occasional
fight.
One evening. the one which tho writer
has I'm mind business within "Sklff Dom
ncly's was a trine brisker than usual. In
the little rear room. seated around
table. were four men drinking What
their true occupation was the reader can
readily guess. They were relating incl
dents IN their lives OF crime. and as my
table was near enough 1 naturally
listened 10 what they were saying.
The stories told by the first three were
rather common place. such as are read
about daily In the newspapers. and /
was just about 90 get up and leave when
heard a question asked OF the fourth
man. The tone OF which bade me stay and
listen

sorrow that would put him down as one

QUARTERS FOR HOGS.

Ali growers Of swine understand the
necessity for warm quarters during
the winter. but in producing the warm
houses the question Of ventilation il

the hogs do not thrive as they should.
1t Is admitted that it is not an easy
matter 10 make house for swine
warm and comfortable for a section
where winters are cold and at the same
time ventiiate it properly. yet some ef-
fort should be made TO accomplish it,

REMEDY FOR BLACKLEG.

Farmers whose pasture land are rich
In vegetable matter are most familiar
with the disease among calves known
as blaCkleg. 1t is contracted by eatin;
the grass on such pastures and the
germs multiply rapidly. There is 10
known cure for the trouble. but our
veterinarian tells us that his profes
sion is familiar with a method of vac
clnation which renders the calf prac
tically immune. When this method
is used it should be in the hands of
skilled worker. The writer has had
some trouble with blackleg in the past
and has found the following formula
"A splendid preventive OF the trouble.
but not a cure after the germs have
found lodgment in the calf:
If there is danger Of the trouble OBJ
tain from a reliable druggist a supply
of hyposulphite of soda and give IL
daily TO the calf mixed with the food
starting with teaspoonful for the an.
imal three months old or younger, and
increasing until the calf from six
months to yea" old is given a table.

Ventiye. is worth trying.

ENDURANCE SWIM IN JAPAN.

Under the auspices Of Mr.. Fukuzawa,
proprietor of the Jill ShimpO. a re-
markable swimming feat recently took
place at IIayama. The chief perform
ers were pupils Of the KeiO Gijuku,
but with them were some outsiders, in
Guiding Master John Brinkley. The
project was to swim from Hayama to
EnOShma. Il distance Of about eight
miles in direct line. But in order 10
avoid any extreme change of tempera-
ture. such rs would be experienced in
deep water, it was decided to make the
Journey by couSting, which involved
a long detour and increased the total
distance to some eleven miles.
Twenty-oDo started, including two
professors or ratation, Messrs. MiZo-
guchi and Sa,n but the professors en-
tered the boats almost Immediately.
They were divided into parties Of four,
