Had to Treat Back.

There was sensation in Glasgow
street one evening when one man was
seen pursuing another ct breakneck
pace. The pursued, much the smaller
man of the two, leaped on to pass
ing car, the pursuer leaped on almost
at his heels, and, seizing the run
away by the collar, the two rolled off
the car together on to the street.
Deelning it was thief who had been
caught, a crowd collected. ''What
was he doing?" asked a man as the two
struggled to their feet, the larger
tightly grabbing the smaller. "' Ach,
the mean hound,o he gasped. Il
stood him a glass o. beer alang there,
an 'he was boltin' without standin me

marched off his man.

Pupin'S New Invention.

The -neatest calendars seen in Nor
folk, Conn, are the ones sent out by
Mrs. Kendall, wife of J. c. Kendall,
and we'll known photographer, says
the Springfield Republican. 4 photo
graph at the top of the calendar shows
five young pigs owned by Prof. NJ. |.
Pupin, one Of the leading wireless en-
perts in this country, nursing at a
@'bottle trough" made by the inven-
tor after the mother OF the shoats
had refused to care for them. An
other photograph shows the five pigs
asleep on the floor OF the kitch-
en- at Prof. Pupin's farmhause at Nor
folk Until the pigs were able to
drink they were kept in wooden box
in the kitchen, and Mr.. Pupin took
great delight in showing them to call
ers.
There is bit OF interesting his
tory attached to these "high-born
shoats. Their mother gave birth to
a litter of seven and then refused to
own them, killing two OF them be-
fore they could be taken away from
her. How to save the remaining FIVE
was a question none OF Mr.. Pupin's
help could answer. So, at last in hope
of saving the little porkers, Mr.. Pupin
was called from New York.
The inventor proved equal to the
problem that confronted him and de-
cided to bring the motherless pigs
up ION the bottle" He secured i've
bottles, then built a small trough, in
one side of which were five holes just
large enough to allow the bottles to
come through. A nipple was secure
ly fastened to each bottle, which was
filled with warm milk, and the hun
cry pigs took mold of their dinner
as if they had been used to the bot
tie.
