AN ODD BEAU BRUMMEL."
Domesticated Porker That Lives with
the Dogs and Tries to Bark
Like Them.

In their natural state, "at home" in Tho
wlld woods, pigs live as clearly as do
horses, foxes or any animal. 1t is only
when shut up in a small place that they
consent to be dirty, says an exchange
they love water and spend a great deal
OF their time, when wild, bathing in the
pools and brooks. But when denied this
luxury it must be admitted that they
take with little protest to their "wallow-
ing the, mud" Thee who use the OK
preston "as dirty as a pig" prove. how
ever, that they know very little about
natural pigs.
There is a domesticated member of
this humble family near Chicago who
has been dubbed Beau Brummel because
of his fastidious habits. He refuses To
touch his morning meal until he has had
his bath, and squeals Justify if there is
any delay about it, and until he sees
some one coming with a sponge to give
him his much enjoyed rundown. When

his food as d~aintily as any well-bred

The method of mining is unique. Usu-
ally the mines are entered by means Of

series of galleries divided by coal par

the raw material costs only 40 cents or
