OF course, each little farmer
brought his recreant pig to the table.
Some of the piggies were dirty and
bedraggled, too, and one poor thing
had lost its tail in a scramble in the
hedge. The children clung to them,
however, and when all were seated
it was discovered that at each place
there was a paper trough filled with
candy for the pig With much merri-
ment the children stood the pigs up at
the trOughs and thrust their pink noses
into the candy. With the live stock
provided for, the little farmers were
at liberty to proceed to do justice to
the refreshments set before them.
Many imprOmptu games were origin
aten by the children as they sat about
the table. First, the pigs were made
TO march i'm Il grand procession around
the edge of the table. Around and
around from hand to hand they march
ed and then came home to the candy
trOughs. Again the children on one
side of the table shut their eyes, and
one of the pigs on the other side
squealed. The ''blind farmer" guess
ed whose pig had Squealed.
1t was after five o'clock when the
party was broken up and the reluctant
bearing a much mauled pink paper pig.

Now what is to be done if a young
hopeful gets a powder burn? Keep
it open and get a physician. Don't
close it, because the particular germs
that lead to lOckjaw love the dark
and hate oxygen. Oxygen kills them.
Keep the wound open so that the
physician can thOroubhly clean it
out. Don't think any opening is too
trivial to be neglected. Another thing:
Regard the toy pistol and the blank
cartridge as more dangerous that

Another Famine Imminent.

LONDON, April 11.-Reports from
India say that owing to the failure OF
rain, crops are in such a bad condition
that a famine is imminent. Already
the price of corn has risen and in some
districts there is no fodder for the cat
tle England is naturally anxious that
no famine of the historic sort, such as
has visited India in years past, shall
now blight the most populous part OF
it's empire, and there is much talk at
present about ways and means to avert
it.
One of the most striking assertions
is that theer never has been a famine
in India when there was not within its
borders ample food to supply the peo-
pie, and that the famines were really
caused by the fact that the people had
no money with which to buy food.

TACTICAL VALUE OF MACHINE GUNS
Military information Bureau Gathering
Data Concerning Rapid Fire
Guns in the Army.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April IL
The military information division has
been accommodating much data concern
ing machine guns, and has prepared
20O-page pamphlet on the subject,
dealing with the tactical use of such
ordinance. The material consists for
the most part, of translations, made by
army officers, of foreign comment, to
which has been added information re-
ceived from military attaches who &C
companied the Russian and japanese
armies in the field 1t is interesting to
observe that the Russians have lost
confidence in the machine gun, prob
ably for the reason that they sacrificed
eight pieces at the Yalu, while the Jap
anese came into a high appreciation OF
the weapon for the damage the Rus
sian guns wrought in succeeding en-
gagements, especially at the battle OF
Naushan Hill. The results obtained
with machine guns have increased the
military favor for that ordnance, both
on account of the physical and mora
effect in engagements.

ADOPT MATCHES FOR THE ARMY
Similar to Those Used by
Spaniards.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April Ii
The machete which was an implement
of the Spanish troops in Cuba and the
Philippines, appears to be destined to
be adopted more generally by our own
troops Some five thousand of these
huge knives have been issued to the
troops in the Philippines, by whom
they are to be used in cutting paths
through the thick underbursh, rather
than as weapons. They have become
indispensable in that capacity, and it
has now been decided, on the recon-
mendation of the general staff of the
army, to extend the machete to field
artillery troops at home and add that
Implement to the individual equipment
of the light artillerymen in the field
The machete, in such instances, will
be worn in a sheath or scabbard, at
tached to the belt. The machete is
considered of special value to members
of the mountain batteries, Of which
there are several in this country, all
of them destined sooner or later for
duty in the Philippines.

If he should resign before the legisla-

store in the Bowery. Later he moved

Washington 5jr8e 5.f. l.afaI lctte yesterday c.19-i up his rcsolu ton extending ua scope 0} the i.! qliry now being conducted by the interstate commerce commission un der the Gillespie resolution SD ;ts 10 have it include the tyanspolta- ton and storage of grain.
 Speaking ill support of the resoltl tion, he said the country has bee astounded at the revelations that ha.i been made in the matter of combina tions and he felt satisfied that th, prosecution of the inquiry would show as bad a condition ill the grain business. He added that corruption had been uncovered in every place where inquiry had been conducted and asserted that the whole system is permeated with fraud" 1n support of his contention he said that testi mony taken by the commission indi cated joint ownership between the railroads and the elevator companies ta the detriment of the farmers who are entitled to a free and open mar kat. He then gave he names of indl. viduals and corporations which had secured such inside privileges as L. give the momonpolies along various western railroad lines. the list eivea including the following,
 The Chicago Rick Island and Chas GounseIman
 The Chicago Milwaukee and St. 1aul and the Armnu1 Elevator com pany.
 The Atehison, Topeka and Santa Fn and the Richardson company.
 The Union Pacific and Peavey EIe- yator company.
 The Chicago and Northwestern and the Bartlett and Frazier Elevator company.
 Chicago Burlington and Quincy and the Armour Elevator company.
 As going to confirm his inference of combination. Mr. LaFOllette said that he head Of the Armour Elevator company is a large stockholder and director of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul He then read q number of letters and quoted various state ments to show that the railroad com panies favor some elevators to which they are friendly and discriminate against others which are not so well regarded by them. with the result that the price of wheat to the produc CTS is far below what it should be.
 He declared in conclusion that prac- tlcally all the grain shipped into Chi C. % over 4ny one line goes to one dealer and expressed the opinion that the wholesale dealers are closely al- I,e6 among themselves. thus consti- tutin. a virtual monopoly of the eD fire grain business Of the country.
 Senator Nelson confirmed the state Yaen1s ot Nr. LaFollette. saying that .,e had personal knowledge of many .nstances of discriminatioos by the railroads in favor of line elevators. Ae had DO douh: he said, that inves, t;eat3on wcnld shcw the same com tination between the railroad com psnie.s that had been found to exist between the railroad and the coal ccmrany.
