WILD BOAR STUDY
ANIMALS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
PRESERVE TOO WARY.
The Naturalist, However, During a
Trip Through the Woods En-
Joys an Interesting
Spectacle.

We usually think OF wild boars in
connection with the East Indian sp9rt
Of "pis sticking" in which the hunters
ride after the Wild pigs on horseback
and XIII them by driving a spear down
between the shoulder blades. or In
connection with the German boar
hunts. In which even the Emperor vii.
liam Is fond Of taking part, and in
which the bears are hunted with dogs
bred for the purpose. Some years ago,
however, the late Mr. Austin Corbin
imported from Germany a number of
young wild pigs and liberated them in
the Blue Mountain Forest. his great
game preserve near Newport, New
Hampshire. The conditions proved IA
yorable 10 their increase and now there
are hundreds OF these interesting crea.
lures living in the dense woods of this
great Enclosure. Sometimes in the very
carly morning | see Il boar running
across the open ground In front of my
house, on his way back to the wood.
land, but II is a rare sight, for of all
the animals h]ereabouts the bears arc
The wariest, At night only do they
make a practice of leaving the covers
OF the trees; they have learned that In
darkness there is absolute safety, while
in the daylight stalk death and de.
structlon. Since the LIST Of September,
many hunters have come here with the
hope of carrying home a fine boar's
head, and skilled guides have used all
their ingenuity to bring about the de.
sired end, but not a single boar has
been bagged this season, Some sows
and a few medium~sized bears have
been shot. but the big fellows are all
here yet
Signs Of boar are to he seen often
enough, however, and ono cannot walk
for half an hour In the Blue Mountain
Forest without seeing them. The COM
monest evidence Of the presence OF
these creatures Is seen in the patches

"Bixby!" bawled the brakeman on
the Mooresyille line, and the train
slowed down in front Of two or three
houses and FIVE country negroes
standing close to the track, says the
| Charlotte Observer. There was a cen,
trail figure in the party. He was a
man Of middle age and the others
looked as If they were his family. The
man had under each arm a little pig
or shoat, and they were resting tran
gully in their places. The negro had
on most gay apparel, but the most
striking thing about him, outside the
pigs, was a blue celluloid collar. He
made for the steps as the train came
to a standstill, but the brakeman in.

But the man turned ~doggedly on his

over his shoulder. "Ef de pigs don

The train pulled away and the ne.

disgust.
