PCS AS DRAFT ANIMALS.
Sow That Could Retrieve Birds and a
Four-in-8and Of Pigs Driven
by Londoner.

In many countries, including
Scotland, the pig has served the
purpose of a beast of draft, and
has actually been harnessed to the
piow in company with cows and
Horses. In Scotland also early in
tbe last century pigs were some
6mes made TO serve as chargers
and proved most docilemounts.
The homing instinct is strongly
developed in the pig. Instances
not infrequcntly occur of pigs find
ing their way back to farms
whence they have been conveyed.
There is Il record of two pigs HON
ing nine miles, and crossing the
Thames to boot, to their old farm,
whence they had been driven to
Reading market and bought by a
local gentleman on the previous
day. AT one point on the home
ward journey where two roads
met the twain were observed
putting their noses together as
If in deep consultation"
About 1915 a London gentleman
created a sensation by driving a
fourth hand of pigs through the
streets, and 30 years later an old
farmer caused amusement to a
great crowd in the market place
at st, Adams by entering it in d
ehaise drawn by four trotting
hogs. After two or three turns
round the market he drove to the
WOolpack yard, where his curious
steeds were Embarrassed and led
away to be RECALLED with a trough
Of beans and wash.
There have also been sporting
pigs. An old account of a black
SOW which Richard ToOmer. one
Of the royal keepers in the New
Forest, broke to find game and to
back and stand says: within a
fortnight she would find and point
cartridges or rabbits, and her
training was much forwarded by
the abundance of both. She
daily improved and in a few weeks
would retrieve birds that had run
as well as the best pointer; nay,
her nose was superior to the best
pointer"
According to Linnaeus "the hog
is more nice in the selection of his
vegetable diet than any of our
other dOmesticated herbiyorous
animals" Thus in one respect
the pig may be said to be an cpl
cnre. Linnaeus states that the an.
mal will eat only 70 plants, as
against the goats 449, the Sleeps

THE LABOR OF LETTERS.
Environment and Habit Play Their
Little Parts in the Lit
erary Field.

When Cyrus Townsend Brady
is writing one Of his thrilling his
tOrical novels he tramps up and
down the room, slashing right and
left with a saber or cutlass, and
dictates the exciting chapters to
his stenographer while he fights
the battles he is describing, says
the Chicago Tribune.
When Henry James is cOmpOs
ing his stories he first writes the
sentences in Il lucid manner, then
stands them on end and shoots
other words through them with
a n%oiseless rife. Having done
this, he tries the sentences for
ward and backward and fits them
in the story according to their ap
pearance. During the work of
creating a novel Mr.. James keeps
the dictionary resting on an air
cushion and chlOroforms his pet
treatise on syntax and prosody.
When Francis Marion Crawford
is producing one of his celebrated
novels of life in Italy, he eats
spaghetti continuously, and is alb
solutely unable to write unless a
hand organ is grinding outside his
window.
When Charles Major is writing
a historical novel his laboratory
at Shelbyville, Ind, looks like .
dry goods store of the Elizabethau
period. Mr.. Major dons hose and
dOublet, whets up four Or five
swords and lams the life out Of the
old-fashioned barrel stove that
supplies heat in the winter and is
used as a waste basket in summer.
If Mr.. Major did not resort to
the aid of these properties he
would lapse into the HoOsier dia
lect and have Queen Elizabeth
saying "By gosh" before he had
dictated a chapter.
When George Barr McCutcheon
is shaping up one of his Graustark
perennials, he rides on the limited
trains all the time, dictates chap.

who are waiting in relays at the

crown jewels, and put the princess

NORRIS AND WIFE
RETURN To CITY.

Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Norris (for-
rnerly Miss Charlotte Williams), whose
wedding at Martinez on Tuesday came
as such surprise to their friends, have
returned to the city and will make
their home here. Mr.. Norris yesterday
expressed some wonder that the fact
of his marriage should have become
known as soon as 1T did, as the strict
est secrecy had been preserved.
Il am extremely sorry that any mis-
understanding should have existed in
regard to my former engagement, which
was terminated some time since, or of
course things would not be as they
are" said Mr.. Norris. Il should not
like to have 1t thought that l would
jilt a girl. Both my wife and 1 de-
sired that our marriage should be a
very quiet one"
Mrs Norris is not San Francisco
girl. as was first stated. but comes from
Portland. She is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. James Williams of the north
ern city and has lived there most of her
life. During a visit to this city she
and Mr.. Norris met, became friends and
the elimination of the affair was the

of their claim. which was originally
for $4,000, but was reduced by the
committee to $4,000. Their request was
laid on the table. They want pay for

WOULD GIVE BATTLE
To WELCHERS.

John E. Brannan, foreman of the
Grand Jury, has hit upon a plan which
would undoubtedly prove a great
weapon in evening scores with the
welching insurance companies that
failed to meet their claimants in San
Francisco in a fair manner. Brannan,s
scheme is to get the savings banks
throughout the country to blacklist all
welching insurance companies. His
idea is to have the directors of the diff
ferent savings banks refuse to lend
money on mortgages where property
holders are. insured in welching conn
panies.
Foreman Brannan will introduce a
resolution to this effect at the meet
ing of the Grand Jury tomorrow after
noon. In his resolution he will seek
to have the Hibernia Bank cooperate
with the Grand Jury in its fight against
the welchers.
In speaking of the matter yesterday,
Brannan said:
Il believe that one of the most eff
fectiYe steps that can be taken against
welching insurance companies is to get
the assistance of the savings banks
throughout the country. To my mind
it would be for the benefit and pro-
lection of every savings bank in the
United states TO re1uSe 10 nave any
dealings where the welchers are con-
cerned. This would be an effective
way in making them come to- terms.
The banks are among the biggest in
stitutions of the country and the in
surance companies realize that they
cannot afford to fight them.
TT has been shown how much in
f1uence the Hibernia Bank has had
against certain insurance companies,
some of which were brought to time.
believe when I present this resolution
at our next meeting the members will
look upon it with favor. and with the
assistance of the Hibernia Bank we
should be able TO accomplish the pur
pose desired

FEEBLE tots IN
TEST CASE.

Whether the medical superintendent
of a public institution has the right
TO refuse admission to charges en-
trusted to his care on the technical
plea of mo room is to be tested by
Superior Judge Graham who has or
dered the commitment from the Cen
trail Emergency Hospital this morning
to the California Home for Feeble
Minded Children of Bessie and Richard
Marshall.
The children are two of five, whose
father is confined to a cot at st. Luke's
Hospital. When Marshall was Obliged
to go to the hospital Jeremiah Sullivan
of 1900 Sycamore street, a friend and
neighbor. took the five children into
his family. He was quite willing to
care for them. but the condition of
Bessie and Richard precluded the pos
sibility of his keeping them. They
were accordingly sent to the Central
Hospital. and Judge Graham was asked
to have them committed to the Cali
sary papers, but DIR. w. G.. Dawson.
medical superintendent of the home.
refused to receive them on the ground
that the institution was already
crowded.
Judge Graham. however, believes
that accommodation for the children
can be- found If the officials of the home
show a disposition to do SO, and yes
terday instructed the County Clerk to
have the Sheriff send them there again
this morning on the 7:15 train Should
they be refused admittance Judge Gra-
ham intends to have proceedings insti-
tuted that will compel DR.. Dawson to
establish the validity of his position
in refusing them.
