PIGS AZ pRAuoHT ANIMALS.

Sow that Gould Retrieve Birds
Feur-in-Hand of Pigs.
In many countries and even 30 near
as Scotland the pig has served the pur- !
pose of a beast of draught and has ac-
tually been harnessed to the pillow in
company with cows and horses. In
Scotland also early in the last century |
pigs were sometimes made to serve as
chargers and proved most docile
mounts, says the London Express.
The homing instinct Is strongly de-
veloped in the pig. Instances not in
frequently occur Of pigs finding their
way back to farms whence they have
been conveyed. There Is record Of
two pigs homing nine miles, and cross
ing 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 their homeward journey where
two roads met the twain were observ-
ed putting their noses together as If
in deep consultation"
| About 1915 a London gentleman Gre
ated sensation by driving fourth
hand of pigs through the streets, and
thirty years later an old farmer caused
amusement to great crowd In the
market place at st. Adams by entering
1t in a chaise drawn by four trotting
hogs. After two or three turns round
the market he drove to the Woolpack
yard, where his curious steeds were I'M
harnessed and led away to be RECALLED
with a trough Of beans and wash.
There have also been sporting pigs.
An old account Of black SOW which
Richard Tooner, one Of the royal keep
} ers In the New Forest, broke to find
game and to bask 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 improv-
ed 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"
q According to LinnRus, 'the hog Is
more nice in the selection of his vege-
4 table diet than any of our domesticat-
1 ed herbivorous animals" Thus in one
respect the pig may be said to be an

Miss Brett Has Stopped Talking 81
the Neglect of Others.

Miss Brett Has Stopped TalktAg ~
the Neglect of Others.
1t was Sunday noon, and Miss Brett
had just come out Of church. She was
unhappy. On other days her work
kept her busy, but on Sunday, even
though she went to church twice, there
were many hours left In which to re-
member that she had no home but
boarding house fourth back" Eevn
at church 1t was not much better, for
she sat and envied the happy people
who came from homes
"And not one of them all remembers
the hundreds of lonely women In board
ing houses" she thought, week after
week. There was no question about 1t
Miss Brett was growing better.
She hurried past the groups OF
churchgoers to her boarding house.
She was in the mood when the long
climb up the dark stairway offered the
satisfaction Of a tangible grievance.
Once she caught glimpse of woman
standing YEARLY by her window, look
ing down into the row Of city back
yards, and once the door Of hall bed
room was pushed IT, at the sound OF
her footsteps; the pressure OF other
lonely lives added to the burden Of her
discomfort.
Then suddenly something happened.
What are you doing about 1t your
self?"
The question came to her 80 clearly
that for a bewildered moment she
thought some one had spoken. Then
she pushed her door to and dropped
into the nearest chair.
"Well!" she calculated. Miss Brett
might be bitter, but no one had ever
said that she was not honest Alone
and unfiinchingly she faced the accuse
ton. When, two hours later, she rost
and took off her bonnet-she had en-
tirely forgotten her dinner-the matter
was clear.
I'm a nice one to talk Of others

think my room a palace. I can't ga!
like her looks, but probably sh
doesn't like mine. If I'm going t
grumble I'll do 1t honestly, at an.

There was a jar Of milk on the win
dow sill and some crackers in the DO:
. that served her for pantry; also boz
of honey which some impulse had mad

them all upon her little table and the

Wallace AnimaIs.-To those who are
lettering on the circus ground when
the parade of the great Wallace show
returns to the tents in this city on June
8, it may appear that the massive
cages and dens of animals are placed
indiscriminately in the menagerie tent.
but this is not the case 1t is absolute
ly necessary for the peace of the tam
lilies represented that the arrangement
of the animals be the same day after
day. If the zebra cage is first, the
monkey cage next. the polar bear next,
the seals next, the hippopotamus next,
the ocelot next, the tigers next. and so
on down one side of the mammoth
menagerie tent and back on the other
one day, the same arrangement is nee
esSary after that. The ends of the
cages are closed, so that the animals
cannot see their neighbors, but they
can smell them. Any change of order
among the dens will promptly start
something in the zoo. When the great
Wallace show exhibits here, the circus
patron can obtain much interesting in
formation by closely observing the

have all come back thoroughly enthus-
ed with what they have seen.
Prof Y, o. Peterson. states that he
never dares to express his views half
as alphabetically as he would feel justt
fled to do for fear people would lose
confidence in his veracity, and in his
formal report to the company he made
his estimates show less than half OF
what he actually saw.
Active DeveIopents.
The Rock Island Tropical Plantation
company will begin active develop
ment of their property in Mexico imme
diately.. II. S. Myers of Milan, is now
on the land and contracts have been

preliminary construction work. Nego-
tfations have been entered upon with

branch road from. Sarabia across the
company's land. and by next fall the
company hopes to have the develop
ment work we'll under way.
Though Mr. Myers has not been per
manently engaged as manager, his ex
perience in the numbering districts of
Oregon and Washington. would eyi-
IDENTITY render him eminently qualified
for such position, and it is likely that
he will be retained.
The companys Office is for the pres
ent in Suite 302 of the Bengston block
of Rock Island. and with such men ar
the head of its affairs as now consti-
tute its corps of officials, the venture
will undoubtedly be success if il can

Acre to Share.
The company is capitalized at 81
400,0 900 divided into $4,000 shares of
the par value of 5000 each Each share
represents one acre of land fully de-
veloped, and the shares are sold on
the installment plan, the money paid
in at the rate that it can be economic
ally expended for development work.
Though organized as a stock company
it is more in the nature of a cooper
ative organization and the articles of
incorporation and bylaws carefully
guard against the possibility of any
one man debating to the company or
acquiring control of its affairs.
The directors of the North Star Ben
eft association unanimously declined
to accept Mr.. Peterson's resignation.
and requested him to continue as the
head of the institution, devoting his
spare time to the work and engaging
assistants for the field work.
Mr.. Peterson finally consented to
this arrangement agreeing to super
