He could gain little time because he knew

That was Wins lariat.
"Quee-ee-ee!"
That was Grundy, The pig. Any
pig might squeal over being caught in such a
fashion.
II was the time for rounding-up the hogs
all over the California ranch, so that the fox.
tail grass might be picked out of the crea-
tures eyes. If this were not done, more
than half the hogs would become totally
blind before the summer was over. 1t was q
tedious job.
Grundy's squeal stopped as the rope tight
ened
Hold him. Barney!'' cried Win.
Barney, the strong rishrnan who worked
with Win, was already pouncing on Grundy.
Between the lariat and the weight of Bar

to allow small pair of nippers to be care
fully introduced into the right eye and an
annoying piece of foxtail extracted

He picked up his lariat and proceeded to

Meantime, the offended Grundy raced out

OF the ranch. The multitude of his COM
panions waited their turn in the corral.
Grundy was almost the only one that was
distinguished by a name. He was a pig Of
note, and he knew it.

II now come to what YOU have to
say as to contributions and here you
| furnish your own answer You state
that ii appears from the published
statement of the contributions to Mr.
| Hughes for governor two years ago
! that various men of wealth. some of
| them connected with big corporations
lwhom you name to the number of
! nine, contributed from $4,000 to $780,
| 900 apiece. You ask would the IA ct
| that these gentlemen contributed to
weaken his testimony against the rea-
condolences of our antitrust remedy? p
and later you continue by asking Are
| YOU willing to say that any public in
terest was served in 1904 by conceal
| ing until after the election the contri-
| buttons made to the Republican COM
mittee by Hartman and those collect
ed by him from others?'
Are you willing to say the publi-
tons then made would have had no
effect on the election? You then pro-
pose to publish the names Of contribu-
| tors before election and. ask us to do
the same.
"The amounts you mention as con-
tributed to Mr.. Hughes are utterly tri-
vial compared to the amounts l have
already mentioned as contributed to
your campaign in 1896 but in my judg-
ment the amount contributed has
nothing whatever to do with the point
at issue. The question was. for in
