A Hog Story.

John S. Duncan tells the following
in the Indianapolis News: In the
time when Indiana hogs could be
seen in every woods-pasture, stran-
ger on horseback riding along coun-
try road saw lot Of hogs acting in
a strange way. They would run here
and there, first to one tree and then
to another, in the greatest excite
ment, would rub themselves against
these trees and squeal and squeal as
though possessed as were those hogs
in Palestine than ran down into the
sea. The stranger could not under
stand it. Riding on a little further
he came to farmer in the road. Are
them your hogs?" asked the traveller.
What on airth's the matter with
'em?" Wal" said the farmer in a
whisper, I'll tell ye. Long last fall

Something New in Poetry.

OF course literary judgments are
always subject to revision, but 1t
really seems that Miss Vivian Wade
(aged thirteen years) has laid the
cornerstone Of a new school of poetry
by the following stanzas, entitled:
THE RAG DOLL.
She was my best rag dollie,
The last one that mother had made,
With eyes that were blue as the heavens
And nose and mouth made of red ink
Her hair was as black as ebony
And clustered around her white face,
And she had the wee bit of smile
That lasted all the day through.
She had curve on her lip that was per-
feet
And ears that were tiny and pink.
But she's gone
My poor, old rag dollie--
She's gone in the queerest way:
/ laid her on a chair
On the piazza, snugly and comfortably, too,
And after the kitty had been tended
And after the dog had been fed,
4 went to get my rag dollie,
But 10! she wasn't there.
! guess God meant to repay me
For the loss of my dear rag doll,
For close by the chair where / had left her
Was poor hungry-looking goat!
Aside from its cleverness-andi It
is decidedly q clever bit of verse
you can't deng that this poem pos
sesses what critics call peculiar
elusive touch" AS you approach the
end of each stanza you're sure the au-
thor is going to give you a rhyme,
and every time she fools you.

GREAT STRIDES IN TELEeRAPHY

TO the advancement of the newspaper
business, 1t is claimed the Barclay

declared to be one of the greatest
steps ever taken toward economy in

telegraph 1t does with machinery
large part of the work formerly done
by hand, and requires no telegraph
operators.
While it had been intended to in
troduce these machines some months
ago, the Western Union Telegraph
Company was fastened in it's purpose
by the recent strike of operators. Con-
sequently, as soon as possible after
the strike the Barclay typewriting
telegraph system was put in use, in
a large measure taking the places of
the men who struck. This, it has
been explained. is one of the reasons
the company has been able TO hold
out against the strikers.
The recent installation of the new
system in this city marks the begin.

To prepare a message for trans
mission it is only necessary to strike
the letters on standard typewriter
keyboard, which perforates a series
of characters similar to those used
in the Morse alphabet. On this key
board are extra keys for shifting the
type. shifting the paper and the car
riage return. After a message has
been perforated, which can be done
ordinarily in about 20 seconds, the
perforated slip is then run through
an automatic transmitter at the rate
of about 100 messages an hour. The
message is received at the distant
station on a standard typewriter all
completed and ready for delivery, it
is only necessary for the receiving
operator to feed the machine with
the standard Western Union receiy-
ing blanks. The instrument at the
receiving station when once adjusted
seldom requires readjustment, as all
of the mechanism is operated on a
local circuit: the wire can be worked
duplex and 200 messages an hour can
