An old school teacher tells the folowing "Kissing

certainly very ingenious and Gas the event proved
very successful little fellow to day
and said: tMr. M, won't you make Frank B stop
kissing met why, said don t you like to be kissed'

70 get any more information from him called up Frank
explanation why, see, sir he Is been getting in my
way and troubling and he is too small for to
hit just told him that every time he bothered I'd
kiss him; and did, and he hates it like poison,
think it will cure him presume it did him, for
never heard from either party afterward."

Tragic CIima& Of q Sagaci0u1s Cows

against this state of things, and dipped my tail
in the mk-pail and dealt him a Christening blow
in the face but that was an inadequate
expression OF my feelings.
After several more unsuccessful efforts in the
way of voice training, and an attempt to form an
Art Club Brindle and decided that it was better
to begin with fundamentals, and turned our atten-
ton to their food 1t is easy to understand that
the absorption of a beautiful and poetic milkweed
would be uplifting, while the bolting of a dis
carded griddle-cake would drag one down to its
own level. We realized that 1t better to teach

and | cropped clean grass and luscious cowsips in
the face of every pig in the pasture; cropped them
with mouths a self-supporting way

pauperiZing hand of man, and stood about cOnspic-
uOusly and | may say audibly chewing cud while

right IN this matter OF diet because we were
elevated while they were degraded swine.
But alasl noble efforts seemed entirely without
uplifting effect. Not a single hog had | seen brOws-
ing among the clOvers, and even the youngest pig
had not taken TO cud-chewing.
In Encouragement Brindle and | talked over the
in sympathy with the Settlement Idea-said it
more of unsettlement than anything he had
ever heard of-but he agreed that we were per-
feCtly justified in using physical force to change
the diet OF those pigs if thought it had to be
done.
Encouraged by this, Brindle and | ran a few laps
around the pasture to get ourselves in training,
and then seeing the Hired Man coming toward the
sty with his ignoble cans, sailed forth The
pigs We're as usual squealing and crowding around
their degrading food, when rushed in among
them They seemed annOyed-annoved and irr-
tated at our coming 1t was hard work to get them
away from that man-bestowed mess; had
push and kick, and even to prick some of the more
refractory with our horns, which showed a deplor-
able blindness and ingratitude their part and
wounded deeply. At last by quick and
certed action got them all away, and then stand
ing shoulder shoulder with lowered horns and
stamping feet, we kept them at bay. Every little
while some especially daring gluttonous pig
would dash forward. but always managed to
stop him before he got past.
We had thought that this action of would
show them the error of their ways; that in very
shame they would turn to sweet grass and
wholesome water to apTease their hunger; but
