DANGEROUS PIGS.

A writer in the st Louis Republic
says that the most vicious and fearless
member Of the brute creation is the
peccary, or wild hog, of Mexico.
This animal seems utterly devoid of
fear and displays an intelligence in
fighting man strangely at variance
with Its apparently complete lack of
mental attributes.
Their ability to scent man Is par
ticularly marked. The only thing
to do when they get after you Is to
run away from them as fast as horse
can carry you, and then there IS no
certainty that they won't catch you.
They are nearly as swift as horse,
and their endurance is as great as
their viciousness.
A friend of mine encountered
drove of them in wild part of Mex
leo few years ago, and his escape
was almost miraculous. He very
foolishly shot and wounded num-
Der of them. Then he took refuge
in tree.
The pecca:ies kept him In the tree
all that day and through the night.
They circled round the tree, grunting
and squealing their delight at the pros.
pect Of feast. He soon exhausted
his ammunition and brought down q
peccary at each fire, but this had no
faVrorc for fha haaefc
Toward morning they began toeat
those he had killed, after which they
formed in line and trotted off. If
they had not had some of their own
number to devour they would have
guarded that tree until my friend
through sheer exhaustion dropped
from his perch and allowed them to
make a meal of him.
The wildcats ard tigers that infest
the Mexican wilds flee from the pee
carries with instructive fear, and even
rattlesnakes keep out of their path.

The fourteenth annual sportsmen's show in Madi-

the big amphitheatre resembled the horse show az
its apex and the automobile show al its climax
Captain J. A H Dressed. manager Of the show
said:
The popularity Of the show and the largely in
creased attendance this year have fully demon
strated the wisdom Of holding a separate sports
mems show. The motor boat show while selling
and a social success, did not OF course, attract
the pleasure loving public who are interested IN
outdoor sports, recreations and amusements Not
only did the sportsmens s show in one week beat
all previous attendance records but It gathered TO-
gether enough more people 70 make up for the
deficiency Of the attendance at the motor boat
show.

1908 sportsmens show will open on Tuesday Feb

Of nearly three weeks. We do this because one
week Is too short as the present show could have
been extended for another week two with great
success
The novel and interesting feature OF the show,
just closed. outside OF the great camp and region
exhibits, was the showing made by the members of
the Young Mems Christian Association of New
York. The class drills and calisthenics were a
revelation TO many persons, who never ina gined
