William Mcfarland, a wealthy and promi-
fifty fine blooded hogs a few days ago
in a most peculiar manner. Though the
story may sound somewhat "fshy." 1t is
nevertheless true. and vOdched for by any
number of his neighbors. Some time ago
Mr.. Mcfarland lost his voice and he was
unable to call his great drove of hogs, in
which he took great pride. but he bridged
over the difficulty by training them TO re-
spond at feeding time 10 his pounding on
a board.
In time they became thoroughly accus-
toned to this call, and whenever they heard
the sound would race tOwar 1t as If their
life depended upon getting there first: Run
ming short of corn a few days age Mr.. Nc
Farland thought to economic by putting
his hogs In a woods pasture. where they
could shift for themselves. Unfortunately
the pasture was full of dead trees and in
consequence woodpeckers were correspond
ingly thick. He had scarcely turned his
back on the hogs after turning them into
the pasture, till an old red-headlon the far
side began drumming on a tree.
Being hungry for corn and recognizing
i'm it the old familiar call, the hogs with
one accord, raced for that locality. They
had no more than arrived at the locality
indicated and discovered there was no corn
in sight till they heardl the call again. but
far away in another direction. Away the
hogs roced again, only to be once more dis
appointed, and once more to hear the call
from afar off. The day was rather warm
and these hogs chased the woodpeckers
back and forth across the field till the last
one dropped dead from heat and exhaustion.
Mr.. Mcfarland priced the s~tock'very high
ly. which makes the loss quite heavy.

With what a glory comes and goes the year!
The buds of spring. those beautiful harbingers
OF sunny skies and cloudless times, enjoy
Life's newness and earth's garniture spread out;
And when the silver habit of the clouds
Comes down from the autumn sun, and with
A sober gIadness the old year takes up
His bright inheritance of golden fruits,
A pomp and pageant I'LL the splendid scene.
There is a beautiful spirit breathing now
Its mellowed richness on the clustered trees,
And, from a beaker full OF richest dyes.
Pouring new glory on the autumn woods,
And dipping in warm light the pillared clouds.
Morn on the mountain. like a summer bird,
Lifts up her purple wing and in the wales
The gentle wind, a sweet and passionate wooer,
Kisses the blushing leaf and stirs up life
Within the solemn woods of ash deep-crimsoned
And silver beech and maple yellow-leaved.
Where autumn, like a faint old man. sits down
BY the wayside a-weary. Through the trees
The golden robin moves. The purple finch,
That on wild cherry with red cedar feeds,
A winter bird, comes with its plaintive whistle,
And pecks by the witch-hazel. whilst aloud
From cottage roofs the warbiing blue-bird sings
And merrily, with oft-repeated stroke.
Sounds from the threshing-foor the busy fail.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

BOB HILLARD WEEPs.

Some actors get a certain pleasure out Of
their own periodical outbursts-afterward of
course. But it is not everybody who can,
like the soldier in Kipling's poem. stand
beside and watch himself behavin' like a
hloomin' fool" Robert Hilliard, however.
tells this story on himself. He had been
meeting with but Indifferent success in MT.
Barnes of New York. and when he reached
st. Louis he found himself forced to play in
the most insignificant theater in the city.
When he went on the stage that night, and
looked at the ugly, ill-lighted theater and
the dull. common audience. the situation
was too much for his equilibrium. He fed
precipitately TO the wings, sat down upon
the bare floor. and wept. while the rest of
the company stood around him and SMILED
or snickered, according as they viewed his
collapse as tragical or humorous.
One afternoon last week, while William
Collier was deep In the turmoil of prepara-
ton for his new play. he entered one of the
private offices of the Bijou and besought
Mrs. Ida McGlone Gibson, OF the Bipou
staff, to help him with his cues. They
closed the door, and presently were very
busy with Mr.. Golfers lines. But soon
the door was opened. and somebody wanted
10 know something that only Mrs. Gibson
could tell. That done. the rehearsal con-
tinued. A few minutes later there was
a call for Collier. 1t took ten minutes to
get started again after that, but they had
not gone far with the lines till another
interruption came. By this time Golfers
patience was ebbing rapidly. and when the
door was opened again he gave himself up
to a whirlwind OF anger. He threw his
manuscript on the floor and rample 1t:
ne upset a chair I'm his rapid striding up and
down the room; he slammed the door till
the building shook. 1t was half an hour
before he was calm again.

can't help it, he said. MY nerves are
worn to a FRAGILE"
TENDERS of the profession usually pay
little attention TO these outbursts in others,
for there are few who nave not been in
that state of nervous tension, particularly
in rehearsal time, when the torments of
the inquisitioI seem to have been revived
for their special torture. Henrietta Cros-

TROUBLES OF THEIR OWN.
Bridge and Structural Workers Unable
to Agree on Anything.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-Pres Buchanan of
the Bridge and Structural Ironwork-
ers faced a difficult problem, Monday
night, when he endeavored to induce
representatives of the various locals
of the union to frame national wage
scale to supersede those now in effect.
Twenty-Five ironworkers holding
credentials from as many locals gath
cred here to adjust the wage problem
of the union and they were unable to
agree. The men in Chicago and New
York who are getting $3.50 "a day
wanted national rate higher than the
schedule and those from the smaller
cities declared it could not be enforced.
After hours of wrangling a sub-com-
mittee of seven was appointed to in
vestigate the matter and make re-
port to the %.
The seven, who are as follows, met,
Monday night: c. Massey, New York:
c. Hopkins, Newark, N. j.: Frank
Thoman, Chicago; Patrick Maxim, Chi
cago; M. Gallentine, Pittsburg; J.
Brett, Milwaukee; J. Finnegan, st.
Louis.
When the committee met the three
New York and Chicago men again tried
to force the others to agree to the wage
rate in the large cities. They argued
that when men from the New York
and Chicago unions were taken to small
places they suffer reduction in pay.
They declared that ironworkers now
numbering 10000 men could easily
compel contractors to grant their de-
mands and make even the American
Bridge Co. do as they bid.
But the men from Chicago and New
York could not win over the others.
Pres. Buchanan undertook the role of
peacemaker, but was unable to accom-
.plish anything :. and the gathering
broke up.
The New York and Chicago men said
that unless their proposition was con-
ceded they would break away from the
organization and form in
defyehdent bodies. 4Thss< Press. Buchan-

A SETTLEMENT
Between Russia and Japan Is
Now Promised.
Basis Of Treaty Settled, Containing
Concessions by Both Parties.
France and Great Britain Have Used
Friendly Offices.

Paris. Dec. 1.-The Associated Press
learns that Japan and Russia are on
the verge of a settlement of the Far
Eastern controversy which promises to
dissipate the war cloud that has been
hanging over both countries. This set
Element will be the result of the nego-
tiations which have been in progress
for some time past and which were
assisted by the friendly representations
Of France to Russia and of Great Brit
ain to Japan. The two nations have
practically agreed upon the basis of
a treaty, the signing of which can only
be prevented by some unexpected de-
velOpment.
ment follows:
Russia will accept the two agree
ments entered into by Japan with ,Ko-
rea dated 1896 and 1898 respectively,
under which Japan secured various
rights in Korea, including the MAIN
tenance of a garrison at Seoul. In ex-
change for this concession. Japan will
accept Russia's treaty with China re-
specting Manchuria.
1t is believed. though this cannot be
stated as positive, that Japan and RUS
sia will reiterate their support of. the
principles of the "open door"f and the
integrity of China and of Korea. :,
