Educated Pig Docs Police Duty.

Ever hear OF a pig that's a watch
dog-or-that is, watchpig? Thomas
kerens, OF No. 200 Osago avenue, in
Kansas City. Kan, has no need for
dog, he asserts, because Fannie,
an educated pig, does police duty in
his yard. Fannie doesn't allow
strangers to enter the yard. OF
course she doesn't show dispieasure
by barking or grnnting. even, but
she has certain repulsive expression
that makes people hesitate before en-
tering when she runs toward them.
Fannie is clean hog. Mr.. Kerens as
serts, and doesn't care about wallow-
Ing In mud. Instead she prefers a
nice. clean bed Of autumn leaves

Luck in a Horseshoe

Horace Schenck. OF Howard, Cen.
tre County, probably believes there is
luck In horseshoe. The other day
several men and boys were pitching
horseshoes in the alley at the L. c.
Thompson store. When one of the
shoes was pitched to stake It struck
something bright. and the young man
picked It up to see what 1t might be.
Much to his surprise It was a Sc gold
piece, --Philadelphia Reaord.

that snake come right over here to
me. But both of you will have to
help me-"
"Senor, I'll help you on one condi-
ton. and that is If you promise to
catch him without letting him bite
you
"All right" said I. "I promise! "
Nov the river was fully sixty feet
across, and as the bamboo. in the
up-end branches of which the snake
was coiled. hung out over the water
to about midstream, that would make
the distance between us and the snake
about thirty feet.
The plan which I was now about
to try had used before on the Caroni
River, in the Island of Trinidad, and
/ felt sure Of success If I could de-
pend on the steadiness of nerve and
the strict obedience of my two red
skinned companions.
Look here!" said I. II will do
what I've said II you will obey me
exactly In what I'll tell you to do.
There will be no danger whatever to
either OF you. or to me. either. I'll
not allow the snake to get at any time
nearer to you than fifteen feet"
Yes, yes!" said they. "We'n do
carefully and exactly all you tell us. "
First OF alk." said I, swell cut
two bamboo poles. long, but light and
easy to handle"
So, in the bamboo clump behind
US, picked out the poles / needed.
Cipriano cut one and 1 the other.
When trimmed of leaves and branches
each pole was somewhat over thirty
feet long and fairly easy to handle,
although, being green, they were not
by any means as light as fishing rods.
Sharpening the butt of one of
these. stuck 1t firmly in the bank
near the edge of the water, and then
leaned 1t ever till its very tip was
just above the snake and among the
tops of the leaves and branches in
which he lay. From the snake to the
water was about ten feet.
Calling the Indians over to me. I
got them both to lay hold of the
leaning bamboo, and told them to
hold II exactly in the same position.
Taking up my own pole. l carefully
advanced its tapering top toward the
snake. Very gently indeed / ad-
vanced It; and ] held It more steady
and advanced 1t more gently as /
slowly pushed It In among the
branches.
With the slightest movement OF my
wrist made its top give the snake
just the faintest little poke.
He woke up at once and shot out
ais head to see what was the matter.
held my bamboo perfectly still
where 1t was--almost touching him.
When. after few seconds, let It
touch him again, he shot out his head
somewhat farther. as much as to say,
"yes, something did certainly touch
me-"
A few seconds more elapsed. and I
| gave him another little poke; where
upon he seemed to say to himself,
Dear me. now this is really too
much. This place isn't comfortable
any more. I'll move"
SO he stretched up his head and
neck to climb higher. He found only
leaves and twigs, too thin and yield
| ing to climb on; but among them ne
found the strong top of the Indians
pole.

Take Warming, Girls.

Cupid is always painted with wings,
perhaps to show how easily he can
fly away. Many women forget this
once they are married, and the man
who fell in love with his wife, be-
cause, before marriage, she always
looked so dainty and we'll groomed, is
sometimes woefully disappointed to
find how little care she takes over
her appearance for ordinary, every
day occasions afterward.
1t isn't fair to any husband to let
oneself go in this way. If you do,
and find that very soon Cupid flies out
at the window, you will have only
yourself to blame.-Home Chat.

Try to BE Sweet.

Do try to be as sweet and charm
Ing at home as you strive to be else
where, says the New York Herald,
speaking to girls. Get up and go to
bed good natured. Speak to the
members of your family as courteous
ly as you would to Mrs. Modish. 1t
will charm the ear of your mother
and crafty her. And keep careful
watch of your voice as we'll as your
words at home, for one of the great
est attractions one can have is a
speaking voice of sweet, modulated
tones,

Aired Her knowledge.

She was Vassar graduate and
didn't know a little bit about house
keeping when she married her last
beau and settled down to domestic
life.
Her first order at the grocer's was

used to all sorts of people and could
interpret Vassar as easily as plain
English.

To Preserve Shoes.

Patent leather shoes are not an
economy in cold weather; their life is
as precarious as is the new born kit
tens in a cat-hating household.
Unfortunately they are the only
kind of shoes worn for most formal
afternoon occasions, and the girl who
hates cracks and is limited to one
pair of dress shoes a season is in
bad fix.
If she is provident, however. she
can prolong the life of the leather
surprisingly. Here are some rules
given by shoemaker which may help.
Warm the leather by rubbing gen.
tly with the palm Of the hand before
putting on the shoes.
Do not go Immediately out of doors
after donnlng patent leather.
On bitter cold or snowy days walk
around in a room with the windows
open for FIVE minutes before going
into the street.
Never wear overshoes over patent
leather. If it gets wet or muddy wipe
it dry as soon as possible.-New Ha-
ven Register.

Dainty Hangings.

Lawn, batiste, etamine and like
materials in purest white are not only
prettiest and daintiest for bedroom
hangings, but they are fashionable.
And a most effective decoration is the
narrow white soutache braid which
has been used on summer frocks and
suits. The need of the sash curtain
for such a room is done away with by
having the two parts-rthe curtain
and the short valance, hung on separ-
ate rods so the long parts can be cas-
lily thrown ogether.-Hartford Cou-

Knows Her Mind.

The Span.ards are beginning to re-
alize that Victoria is made of strong
er stun than her husband and, de-
spite her open leaning TO English
ideas, she continues to gain in popu-
larity. 1t is known she attends bull
fights only as concession to public
wish and national custom, and it
would excite no establishment were
she to announce her absence from all
bullfights in the future. Against de-
termined opposition. she has effected
q revision of the rules of the Spanish
court, and has introduced a system
which makes for the liberality of the
English court in which she was
raised, and from which Alfonso car
ried her off a bride less than three
years ago. Old-fashioned Spaniards
profess to be shocked by the reforms
the young Queen has wrought. but,
Just the same, they have been unable
to withhold admiration for her
strength of will. 1t has taken brief
time. in truth, to mark Victoria as
the most authoritative of the women
sharing as consorts the thrones OF
the Old World.-New York Press.

Whom Kissing Girls is Not Improper.

The matter OF when 1t is proper for
a man to kiss a girl is undoubtedly
an important one. And while on GER
tain occasions 1t would be manifestly
indecorous. at others It is quite to be
expected and there are even times
when a man must brace himself for
the inevitable, and give, or accept. a
caress when he fain would not.
PTomiscuous kissing is. however.
not to be INDUCED In; not even at
weddings. where the bridegroom ex-
poets to be martyred by girl friends
and relatives. or the bride finds ber-
self being embraced by casua. ac-
quaintances. This custom is not good
form. Only the close friends OF the
bridal couple should congratulate
them IN such manner. and the man
who takes advantage of the brides
good nature at the moment and kisses
her. though he knows her but for
maily. can only be called impertinenk.
AZ he has been on informal terms
with her for long time. and feaily
likes her, It may then be permissible.
