Wild Boar in PHILIPPINES.

There are thousands of wild boar
IN the Philippines and you can shoot
them anywhere. The natives usually
drive them into nets with dogs. Some
times they are caught in pitfalls or
traps No one ever heard of the Phil
ippine wild boar attacking anyone,
although 1T grows to great size and
looks very fierce. Like the wild jungle
fowl, which will breed with domestic
poultry, the wild boar will breed freely
with the native pigs.

Washington for an Outing
at Pine Knot.
WILL BE GONE UNTIL MONDAY
There'u Be 'Lashings" Of Hunting
and Other Doings That Are
Good for the Health.

Charlottesville. Va, Dec. 2S.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and family and guests
reached Pine Knot, Mrs. Roosevelt's
cottage 10 the southern part Of AL
bemarle county, at p. N. Their out
ing will continue until Monday. The
twelve-mile drive from North Garden,
which occupied nearly two hours, was
a bracing one, the rain of the morning
having been succeeded by partly clear
weather with a slight drop in the tenn
perature. The trip from Washington
was uneventful. When the party
reached Charlottesville President
Roosevelt came to the door of the car
and smiled greeting to the people
at the station, who waved him a well
come. At North Garden the presiden-
tial party disembarked. AS he stepped
from the car President Roosevelt
bowed, and closely followed by Mrs
Roosevelt and Admiral Rixey passed
on to the vehicles which had been
provided TO convey the party to Pine
Knot.
Members OF the Party.
The party consists Of the following
persons: President and Mrs. Roose-
welt; their FIVE children-Ethel, Theo-
dore, Jr., Kermit, Archie and Quentin;
Rear Admiral P. NJ. Rixey, surgeon
general of the navy; N. S. Latta, as
sistant secretary to the president, and
Miss Langdon, a friend Of Miss Ethel.
The party is equipped for several days
sport in the woods, and these, with
the long walks which the president
and Mrs. Roosevelt are expected to
take, Will consume much of the time
at their country home. There is tele-
phone communication between Char
lottesvilIe and Plain Dealing the VIII
mer country home, adjoining Pine Knot
Of which use will be made for the
president in case of necessity.
Young Roosevelt Forgets His Gun.
An interesting incident occurred sew
eral minutes before the train left
Washington. One Of the presidents
boys had forgotten to bring his gun
He did not discover its absence until
about fifteen minutes before the train
started, and negro messenger, who
had assisted in bringing the belongings
of the presidential household to the
station. was dispatched post haste tC
the White House to get the firearm
He got to the White House all right
and he soon had the gun in his posses
sion. He was going at a speed pro
hibited ON his return and the metropoli
tan police met him and threatened
him with arrest, but he did not desist
Has the Case Postponed.
He explained his mission and was
allowed to proceed to the station fol
lowed, however, by a mounted police
man, who reported the matter to one
of his superior officers. The presiden
soon learned of what had occurred anC
calling the officer addressed a few
words to him and explained that thu
matter would be settled when he re
turned to Washington, at the sam,
time complimenting the officer on hi
vigilance and devotion to duty.

BODY WAS BLOWN
OUT OF CRAVE
Extraordinary Story Reported
From Near Fulton.
Explosion of Lime Placed Around
the Body Causes An Unprece-
dentcd Occurrence. 80
DEAD A VICTIM OF SMALLPOX

Mayfield, Ky, May s. An extra
ordinary incident is reported to have
happened near Fulton Thursday af-
ternoon. The grave containing the
body of DR., L. l.. De Meyer, who died
last Saturday at Pierce, Tenn, near
Fulton is reported to have blown up
from the combustion of lime and the
body and casket thrown some dist,
ance out OF the grave.
DR.. Il. l.. De Meyer, whose death
was mentioned several days ago In
the Messenger, was brought from
Pierce, Tenn, and buried about two
miles from Fulton. The remains
were accompanied by two negro i'm
munes, who buried the body about
midnight. On account of the death
being caused by smallpox none but
the two negroes were allowed to ac-
company the remains and this led
much to the sadness of the affair.
Three barrels of unslacked lime
were placed in the grave. The rains
which have fallen so heavily this
