 saw another pen with three hogs, which had been taken up off of the range. and. being too small to fatten for bacon, had to study to decide what was meant by having them up. But two slabs through the pen re- vealed that they were being taught to walk a log, so they could walk the water gate logs and live through next year and this without a hog law.
 tell you, the hog is not to blame, neither is the law. It's the man or farmer, so say amen to this and come down and let me demonstrate to you by actual tests that it is better to have the hog in a pasture, law or no law, than it is to have them out in the sticks and tresrassing in some neighbours field
 Some will say: There it is! that pastureI We can't all have pasture" Well, let's see, accord ing to the assessors book about 85 per cent of the farming people of Ptlk county own their own farms, so there would only be about l5 per cent dependent on others for pas ture. So 15 per cent to S5 per cent is no excuse why we should not have hog law. The trespassing hog causes great deal of malice. hatred, strife difficulties, law suits, and even murder. So, fellow countrymen, let's vote for hog law for the sake of peace.
 As it is the hog is permitted to rob the birds, chipmunks and other game of what few acorns there are, and then glean the fields. So let us vote for hog law for the sake of humane principles. The small por- tions of land that are left unfenced are barren from the fact that the hog roots up the grass, root and branch, and thereby destroys it, rob ping the cattle of what little range there might be. So let us vote for the hog law for profit, preservation and for future generations. If we had hog law we would have the liberty to fence our farms with three or four wires, or make it hog tight as suited us. So let us vote for the hog law for the sake of that American liberty we all love so well.
 If child had a razor, we would deprive the child of the razor for the sake of the child. If a mad man had the razor we would deprive him of his liberty to save other people. Sc the hog with his liberty is self destructive in that he destroys everything eatable, and destroys others in that he scatters disease and trouble. So let's take his liberty and save the hog and raise the farmer to higher standard.
 The farmer can raise the hog, the hog will raise the mortgage and other indebtedness. That done, the farmer can raise the boy and girl from a common school to graded school and thence to college and to the different positions of honor.

Bishop McFaul Answers President
Eliot.

A~~'~~Ck
Eliot.
Bishop McFaul, Of Trenton. who
stirred up the universities for teach
ing heterodoxy, etc, has naturally
taken advantage of the recent declar-
alton Of former President Eliot, OF
Harvard, that we are on the eve Of a
new religion" DR.. Eliot has sub
Stimulated the bishops charges very
emphatically, and the bishop gets
back in great shape. Says he:
" DR.. Eliot. / am informed, is a
Unitarian, and therefore denies the
trinity and the divinity of Jesus
Christ. Consequently, he is not a
Christian
This resurrects the long mooted pro-
blem as to whether Unitarian is a
Christian. 1t is a nice question. But
the bishop goes further and says that
the Catholics are the only true Chris
tians. We quote:
Let me assure the doctor that to
the Catholic church alone has the
promise been made by her divine
founder, that she shall never fail, and
that she shall be the church of the flu
ture until the consummation of the
ages. All signs point to the fulfill
ment of this promise, for we Catholics
now number between fifteen and
twenty millions in the United States,
and we are making converts to the
Catholic church from among the nom
Catholic body at the rate of over 25,-
600 year. Besides, race suicide is not
fashionable among our people. Among
rs there are not more deaths than
births. 1t has become fashionable in
the last few years to speak of the
church in very wide sense and as in
GLIDING the doctrines of various nom
Catholic denominations, some of
which are contradictory to one an
other. Thus some, in speaking of the
church, would include Christians and
nome Christians, or Catholics, Episco-
palians, Baptists. Methodists, ETC.,
and Unitarians under the term
church. mean the Catholic church,
governed by the successor of st. Peter
and the vicar of Christ at Rome. l
consider her alone the Christian
church in the strict sense of the
word. "

Selection of Mutton.

Mutton when good has the lean

mutton is best eating. Pale colored

Lamb is best when ten or twelve

age should not exceed forty pounds.
