neer Commissioner
Notwithstanding Maj. Spencer Cosby,
engineer in charge of Washington aque-

Of the army that there are defects in the
piers of the bridge, Commissioner Morrow
declares he considers the bridge safe
as il has been in the last thirty years.
Two new piers have been constructed
recently. he explains. and he is of opinion
that in making the examination of the
piers it is doubtless the intention of Mai.
Cosby to recommend an appropriation for
additional repairs.
The Commissioners of the District have
no jurisdiction over the Acqueduct bridge.
They simply supervise the traffic.
Maj Morrow said today he does not
consider the bridge in any way uanger-
Gus for cars, pedestrians or vehicles.
There is no occasion for alarm or
anxiety regarding the safety Of the
bridge. Maj. Cosby, who has supervision
over its physical condition, will doubtless
ask Congress for an appropriation with
which to repair one or two of the piers.

Dog Adopts Four Little Pigs.

STEWARTSVILLE. Ind. October 10
James Dunlop of this village has a female
shepherd dog that recently lost her litter
of four pups For several days she was
distracted over her loss, and her owner
was afraid she would die. She refused to
eat, and spent most of the time lying in
the yard whining pitifully.
Now about the same time that the pup
pies died there was an increase in the
family of one of the sows on the Dunlop
place. The SOW died shortly after her
pigs were born, and Mr.. Dunlop began to
raise the orphans on a milk bottle They
thrived very we'll. but seemed to miss
their mother as much as the shepherd
dog missed her offspring. So Mr.. Dunlop
tried an experiment.
He carried the three little Jersey red
pigs out to the dogs house and called to
her. She stood back at first sight of the
strangers in her bed, but presently she
nestled down beside them as II they were
her. own.
By the next day she had become so at
tached to them that to make up a full
family she journeyed over to a neighbor' S
house and soon came back with another
small pig and adopted 1t also.
The pigs seem to thrive we'll with their
strange mother. and the oddly mated
family is attracting a great deal of at
tentiOn.
