IN March %. 1909. Hendrix Hudson. ia
~ nous English navigator sailed from Hol-
land In ship called the Half Moon, employed
by the Dutch East India Company to seek a
northwest passage to China. He had learned to
smoke tobacco under Sir Walter Raleigh and is
said to have been the first to Introduce it into
Holland. This made him very popular in that
country and caused him to find great favor with
the company.
On September 4, 1609 he entered the bay on
which now stands the city Of New York. called
by the Indians Manhattan Island. The Indians
were very glad to see him. They brought him
pipes. tobacco and oysters. but by acci-
dent shot one of the ships crew named John
Coleman.
After few days they sailed up the river.
which they thought would turn out to be the
much hoped for route to China. The ship run
ming aground. small boat sent out to cx-
plore further ahead. They sailed up the river
about 100 miles to point where Albany now
stands. This beautiful river Is called the Hud-
son. In honor Of it's brave explorer Hudson
then returned to Europe and reported his dis
coveries TO the Dutch in Holland who were
we'll pleased and anxious to settle colony In
rich furs, which they heard very plentiful.
The next year he made another voyage and en-
tered the body of water In the northern part OF
America which Is called Hudson bay. Here
he had. trouble with his men, who seized him
and set him adrift. with few others. in an
open boat. Nothing more was ever heard Of him
and his grave may be the bay which bears his
name. sad ending to a brave and fearless

spent most of his time in company with
other pigs and hogs. And Tom had out
to step over the stile into the lot ana can
"Fattie, Fattie, come to yOIr slop. ana
the fine fellow would come on the trot,
as fast as his short legs could carry his
huge body. If he were In the fartnest
corner of the lot he would hear his mas
ter's voice and knowing that 1t meant
something good to eat. would come at
once And Tom saw to it that the otner
hogs and pigs were kept away from the
private trough from which ne iea ms
prize" hog till the round-beilieu felloW
was so full that he went away from the
trough of his own accord and lay down
in the shade somewhere to digest MS
much-enjoyed meal.
And so it happened that with the ad-
vent of September the well-fed hog was
really a fit subject for the county fair.
He would easily weigh two hundred ana
fifty pounds, and that was pretty good
weight for a hog of his age And so II
happened that Tom prepared TO drive
him to the county seat. the town
where the fair was held each year. AS
the distance to town was. only three
miles. Tom felt it would be unnecessary
to ask his father for team or norses
and a wagon to carry his prize hog 70
busy with the fall plowing. and could
not we'll be spared. So he planned on
leading or driving the hog to town, max
ing an early start and taxing as mucH
time to make the journey as tne nos
seemed to want. Of course. his peing
so Fat would necessitate their travelling
very slowly. -
The morning before the fair was to
open Tom started downward with the
hog whom he had called by the name
of Blue-ribbon. The first half mlie was
covered without any trouble, but at the
end of that distance Blue-ribbon became
very very tired and refused to follow Tom. or
to be driven by him. Indeed. he just
walked out to the roadside, founo a
shady spot under fine green heose

realized his whereabouts.
"Oh, I'm on my way to town; am driv-
ing my prize hog to the fair. DID you
see him when you were over at our place
the other day? Have look at him
there under the hedge. Gee. he's dandy
porker I'll sure get the blue ribbon.
Fact is. I've called the hog Blue-ribbon
for a name"
The farmer not having noticed Blue
ribbon on the day he had called at Toms
home. got down from his high seat in
the wagon and went to the spot desig-
mated by Tom as being the resting place
Of Blue Ribbon. But in vain he looked
about under the hedge, no hog did he
see.
Say, Tom, your hog amt here-no-
where's But here's a place in the weeds
and grass where he's been layin' down.
Tom hurried to the spot where he had
seen Blue-ribbon reposing when he him-
self had sought rest close by. Sure
enough. it was as the farmer had said /;
there was no hog there. Where could
he have gone? Tom began to make
search all up and down the hedge row.
but could not find even a track of Blue
ribbon, for the ground was hard and
sunbaked. preventing the animals hoofs
from sinking into it. We'll. that beats

The farmer laughed jumped into his
wagon. clucked to his horses to be going
and was off down the dusty road.
For some time Tom remained at the
spot, wondering what course to pursue.
Then he decided to go on to town, stop
ping at the farnhouses on the road and
learn whether or not Blue-ribbon had
land and offered his services to the Dutch East
mand Of the vessel called the Half Moon. In
touching at Newfoundland but finding the eli
