\ MAN AND
"A HOG

Copyright. 1905. by Mcclure, Phillips & Col
1t was generally believed in the
village OF Grafton that Deacon Still
Ecll and the widow Carter would
make a match OF 1t after the deacon's
rear of,nourning was up.
One year and two weeks and seven
hours after his wife's death the deacon
Fauntcred around to the widows gate
Of a Sunday evening. He was In his
hest clothes, and he had made up his
mind to pop the question and have the
day set. The widow sat on the We
randa whackn9 at the bugs and flies,
and be took seat beside her.
As prelude he began TO tell her
about the drought ia Texas. and he had
got along as far as to state that every
cow wanting drink had to walk 100
miles for 1t when the widow rose up
with cry. She had espied q hog in
her back garden 1t was a spotted
hog, and bis snout was playing hob
amsns her Early Rose potatoes He
had burst his way In from the alley
without reference to its being the Sab
bath day and had already rooted up 4
dozen hills.
ITS hog in the garden she ex-
planned as she turned to the deacon.
Yes / see. and I'll soon have him
out OF that
1t is said that every person born has
an antipathy The deacon had one.
and It was hogs. He always had two
or three Ia the pen, ana he never
missed giving them sly whacks when
occasion offered. To be interrupted as
he was by hog. and that on Sun
day to boot, made his blood boil. He
might have to race that porker around
for fifteen minutes before finding out
whether the widow would say yes or
no when the real pinch came.
II think it's one Of Perkins hogs"
said the widow as the deacon slid on
the vernnda and looked around for a
club.
st doesn't make any difference who
owns him, he's In your garden"
You don't mem you'll kill himy
'I'll break every bone in his body
There was grimness about the
deacon that the widow had never seen
before. but before she could say any
thing further he set OF with club In
Ills hand. The hog had his head turned
the other way and was very busy, and
the first thing he knew he received
such thump across the back that he
supposed an apple tree had fallen on
him He took a skate for few rods
and then turned about and saw the
man and his club
