Courage of the Boar.

Per contra, no sport in the world is
more thoroughly enjoyable than boar
hunting, or pig sticking as II is done in
india for this is the pluckiest brute on
earth. No beast has more courage than
he; in fact, an old wild boar knows no
fear, not even of a tiger. ale wild boar
never loses his head-or his heart; such
courage l have never beheld in any four
footed creature. He has all the cunning
thing of any size. L have seen a small
boar work his way through a pack of
dogs; and his smaller brother, the pee
cary, in Brazil, send man W a tree and
commonly accredited to the oevil and in
his rage is a demon that Will charge any
keep him there. The boar looks I'M
calmly. but the Indian species is fleet as
a horse for about three-quarters of
mile He begins with night, shifts to
cunning, and finally stands to the fight
with magnificent courage, facing any
odds. AS, riding upon him. you are about
to plant your spear, he will dart-"jink,"
as they call 1t in India-to one side, re-
peating the performance several times,
until he finds he cannot shake you, when,
turning suddenly, with ears cooked and
eyes gllttering, he will charge furiously.
II not squarely me with well aimed and
firmly held spear, he will upset both
horse and rider. Hurting himself again
and again against the surrounding spears,
he will keep up his charge until killed,
when he dies without a groan.

NOT PARTY TO TRUST.
Armour Company Says Court Decision
Does Not Affect Them.

Kansas City. Mo. January 81-The
packers in this city say the decision of
the United States supreme court will not
affect them. Whe@ told that the court
had upheld the lower courts decision
that the packers were in a combina tion
to control the price of meat. c. w. Ar
mour of the Armour Packing company,
said
THE business of the Armour Packing
company is conducted entirely indepen-
dent of that of other packers. The price
of cattle and of fresh meat is governed
entirely by supply and demand, and
there is no combination or understanding
between the packers as to the price of
cattle or fresh meats. We are in the
market every day for cattle and there is
open competition between the packers
for the purchase of offerings at the
stockyards. The decision of the United
States supreme court will not affect
our manner of increasing business in
the least. because we are not a party
to any trust or combination

German and American Railroads.

FTtm the Railway Age.
Most Germans have got into the habit
of assuming that American railway trav-
cling is less agreeable, comfortable and
safe than travelling upon German rail-
ways. Recently a German official whs
had made a trip to st. Louis published
his observations, which are generally eX-
tremely favorable, in the Zietung des
Vereins Deutseher OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
gen, upon which the following is based:
The writer commends the American de-
sire for air and space, as expressed in the
preference for large, open cars rather
than the close and confined European
coupes. Americans do not fear an open
window as the Germans do, and If pas
senger experiences too much draft he
simply wanders into another coach. Pas
sengers move with considerable freedom
from coach to coach, which is facilitated
by the close coupling of cars and the wide,
open aisles. There Is less hand baggage
in the coaches, perhaps because the Amer
lean railways allow 150 pounds of free
baggage, while Germans roads only allow
30. The American system of checking
baggage on the train to hotels and resi-
dences is a great convenience. The train
men are extremely polite to the public.
Every employee feels that he can contrib
company, like a salesman in store.
This is thoroughly American. Each party
knows that 1t must be giver and receiver
and hence one hears few quarrels be-
tween conductors and passengers, which
are so common on German roads. The
American public is less dependent. Peo-
pie look after themselves and take care
of themselves. Am ~icans do not like the
tunnels and overhead walks in order to
avoid crossing the tracks. The custom
of permitting passengers to go to bed in
a sleeping car which Will not start until
an early hour In TIE morning is a great
convenience. Sleeping car fares are rel
atively cheap. being in many Instances
no more than nights lodging in hotel.
One can dress and undress with relative
ease and even If man should be seen
walking through a coach without coat
and vest nothing is thought of 1t, for
the American athletic costume is quite
similar to this. AS for rates, 1t must be
remembered that money is cheaper In
America than in Germany. and that the
higher fares generally express simply the
difference in the value of money. The
constant jarring due to abrupt stops is
trying and the putting on of a new loco
motive is always disagreeable. The writer
closes his article in the following lam
guage: MANY things, then, are differ
ent in this new land; many things better.
l shall always remember when for the
first time I saw one of these mighty,
luxurious and empirejoining trains pull
out of a New York station. Without noise
and ado the mighty locomotive put the
elegant train into motion; with classic,
majestic repose. without the least excite
ment. What, upder such conditions, Is
journey of two or three days. especially
in this land of unlimited freedom of move

AMERICAN WOMAN
FROM A SAUCE DISH
POINT OF VIEW.

Restlessness and a hollow, artificial
society, for which the American woman
is mainly responsible-these are the
characteristics of our civilization which
impressed a well known Swedish au-
thoress on a recent visit to this coun-
try. The magazine Vera (Stoc<holm)
which withholds her name but an
nounces her eminence, gives her i'm
pressions in full says the Review of
Reviews Besides remaining for several
years in this country, says the editor
of Veria, the writer has been a student
of American conditions, particularly in
the eastern part of the United States,
for more than ten years. American So
ciety Is a hollow, worthless thing, she
believes. When the poor artist, coming
from Paris or London, "freeezs in his
soul, he feels powerless in view of the
lack of place into which he put his SEQ ial
energies. He is forced to choose be-
tween family and society life or Bo-
hemian existence which does not at all!
correspond to the companionship he en-
toyed in Europe" The most fortunate
people In America, this writer believes
are the middle-aged men who have
means for expensive club life. She Is,
however, unsparing In her criticism or
the clubs for women. 1.-THE so-called
lady clubs are simply societies. with or
without clubhouses, for discussion, agi-
tation and lecturing. A great deal of
work is done ostensibly for the sake OF
woman, vet the whole thing makes a
forced impression. On the other hand
however, there are many fine reading
circles and afternoon courses of study.
It is hard to find a real American wo-
man in New York, this Swedish writer
declares. She continues unsparingly
The women of tine middle class, which
terized by their lazlness, incompetence
and vanity They must know how to
make a dress elegant, but poorly suited
to their means; and yet, only very sell
dom do they know how to cook. Most
or the dyspepsia and nervousness of
their husbands is surely caused by the
half-cooked meals of the women. Be-
sides not being practical they waste
half the food they consume. Yet they
trim their nails for hours. and live
half the time on the street-that is when
they are not fortunate enough to be
iammed around the bargain counter.
This is not a merely European view of
the matter-it is frequent topic of adj
monition on the part of many American
economic writer's. While these offer many
explanations, they all agree that there
Ia an inca Iona ME danger to the country
in the increasing laziness of the middle
class woman and her unfitness to be
the head of a household.

THIS MORNINGS GOSSIP

Mrs Felix Drennen, who is passing the
late winter season in Orlando, Fla, Is
among the most admired of the many
handsome women that are there during
the season and is being extensively en-
tertaincd. Among the affairs of the
past week was a brilliant cotillon given
her by Mr. and Mrs. Palmer at San Juan
hotel
If seems almost incredible that within
lust a few hours ride out of Birming-
ham the air is so deiciously warm and
frequent that pretty women are basklng
like Processes in the sunlight. Here
where the weather has been so un-
southern, and where even the warmth
of furs has not ingratiated its influence
sufficiently for real comfort, the Flor
ida climate seems as if it was quite
unreal and intangible as the odor OF
the orange blossoms that permeate that
land.
It is surprising that more of the
wealthy classes in Birmingham do not
spend the winter or at least a part OF
f. in Florida, which is extremely ac-
cessible. and certainly inviting at this
season of the year. Railway travel is
perfect and there Is not the long, te-
dious overland trip that prevents many
people from going to California for the
late winter.
Besides its being so accessible, the adj
vantages 1t offers in the way of perfect
ly equipped hotels is enticing. Nowhere
in all the country are there such lux
uriantly appointed hotels as line the east
coast of Florida; nowhere has any spot
ever been likened before to the Italian
Riviera.
The tide Of Florida travel has reached
its height A dozen places are the fash
lionable Meccas and the Visitors south
are more glowing than ever over the
climate, the flowers, the orange laden
trees, the brlliancy of the Poinsetta.

Slowly Starving to Death.

Judge J. NJ. Breckenridge, prominent
citizen of Austin, and brother of Col.
George W. Breckenridge, of San Antonio,
is in critical condition at his home here
as result of peculiar atfliction. Some
time ago he became troubled with a
growth or some obstruction in the lower
part of his throat He went to New York
and was given treatment by the best ply
sicians in that city but no improvement
was obtained in his condition. He return
ed to Austin about two weeks ago, his
case being pronounced hopeless. Since
then the afliction has grown worse until
he can no longer swallow either solid or
LIQUID food or drink. He is slowly starv-
ing to death. He is perfectly conscious
of his condition, and during the past two
or three days he has had his family gath
cred around him and has arranged all OF
his business affairs in preparation for the
worst. At'times the pangs of hunger and
thirst are most intense, and he is gradual
IL growing weaker.-Houston Post.
