HARD LUCK WITH HOGS,
An Incident Which Shows a Little |
Learning Is DANGEROUS

William Mcfarland, wealthy Wa
bash county Qll) farmer, lost a drove
of fifty fine blooded hogs few days
ago in most peculiar manner.
Though the story may sound some
what "tishy" II is nevertheless true
and vouched 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 to his pounding
on board.
In time they became thoroughly ac.
customed to this call and whenever
they heard the sound would race to-
ward II as II their life depended upon
getting there first. Running short of
corn a few days ago, Mr.. Mcfarland
thought to economze by putting his
hogs in woods pasture, where they
could shift for themselves. Unfortu-
nately the pasture was full of dead
ers were correspondingly thick. He
had scarcely turned his back on the
hogs, after turning them into the
pasture till an old red-head on the far
side began drumming on a tree.
Being hungry for corn and recog-
nizing in it the old familiar call, the
hogs with one accord raced for that To-
cality. They had no more than ar
rived at the place indicated and dis
covered there was no corn in sight
till they heard the call again, but far
away in another direction. Away the
hogs raced again, only to he once
more disappointed, and again hear the
call from afar off. The day was rath-
er warm, and those hogs chased the
woodpeckers back and forth acroSI
the field till the last one dropped
dead from heat and exhaustion.
Mr., Mcfarland priced the stock
highly and the hogs will he hard TO

and from my experience with the ne.
gro in the South there is world OF
good sense in the saying. Persons
who do not know the negro but from
hearSay would be surprised at the
cunning of the older members of the
race and the marvellous accuracy with
which they reason about the little
things which concern them. Some
how, the ol6-fashioned darky lust
knows things intuitively, and his in
tuition is infinitely keener and more
accurate than the white mans. | sup
pose this is one way old nature has OF
evening things up. 1t is the law OF
compensation. In my dealings with
the members of the black race on the
plantation | have found that while the
negro may know nothing of the law Of
his own Of arriving at conclusions
which are just as safe as those which
would receive the sanction of the rules
of logic.
Il suppose the narrowness of the ne.
gro's life has something to do with
this. He does not have so much TO
deal with in life as the white man. He
lives in a simpler way and has fewer
things to distract him. Hence he can
give more attention to the little thilgs
which make up the sum total of his ex-
istence, Here we find an excellent
reason for that accuracy with which
the negro reasons about the little
things in his own sphere. And the fact
that his vocabulary is limited enables
him to say his little say in the most
direct way possible, and hence he is
forceful in his simplicity. There are
no fine flights of the imagination in his
explanations. lie sticks close to the
real thing, and this fact, too, may play
an important part in the reasoning
processes of the black men. At any
rate, he reasons well, and he is run,

THE better the day the better til,

sundays and feast days are given ove

y beautiful Sunday afternoon found
me in my seat, facing an audience OF
over 5000 people, to witness the great
bullight that had been extensively ad
vertised for that occasion.
The Plaza de Toras is the bullring, {
great circular building with an interior
that is an immense amphitheater seat
ing thousands of people. The seats are
circular and in tiers, rising from the
round to the top, where the private
boxes are. There is no roof except
over the private boxes, and as the sur
beats down there is of course Il shady
side and one side i'll the blazing sun.
Prices in the sun are as low as %
and 30 cents and graded upward to $;
per seat. Boxes are from 50 and SIC
per seat, eight persons occupying q
box. Our entire party Of over sixty
occupied boxes, and they were all in
their seats ready for the greatest nov
city of their life, as not one i'm our par
ty had ever witnessed such a scene.
The ring itself is an arena over {
hundred feet in diameter, encirclcd BY

Saves Children'S Lives.
THoMPsoN's BARosMA.

Have you family? Do you realize
that the annoying kidney trouble OF
your young children, of your baby,
evidenced by irregular and involuntary
emissions. will lead in time to fatal
results If not remedled? Thousands OF
children. of young men and women, die
every year because of the neglect VI
parents to give the proper care in this
respect in their early years. Generally
this is due 10 a non-realiZation of the
meaning of the symptoms, often to
lack of knowledge of the proper RENE
dies. Even your physician, man of
science that he is, may be led astray by
the varying symptoms of liver and kid
ney disorders. If your little one gives
any evidence of a weakness of the kid
neys, of inaction of the liver soiing
the linen or acting sluggishly, get
Thompson's Baro5ml for it. The rem
edy is unfailing. II is absolutely harm
less, composed of pure vegetable iu-
gradients, and prescribed all over the
world by medical practitioners of the
highest skill and reputation. Mrs.
Fred Lobelenz, of Titusville, Pa, wr tes
that her little son, four years old. after
being given three bottles of Thomp-
sons Barosma, was permanently cured
of bed-wetting, an annoying trouble
since babyhood. Mrs. n. F. Leslie, of
Oil City, Pa, says her five year old
daughter, after several months of in
effective treatment by physicians for
bladder trouble, and being in dangerous
condition, was completely cured by six
bottles of Thompson's Barosma or Kid
