THE USEFUL PIG.

Thrift is not generally supposed to
be among the qualities Of the negro.
A writer In the Philadelphia Public
Ledger, however, tells a story of a
colored woman who should be an ex.
ample to her race. She was an ex-
tremely black African, and was being
examined at conference at Tuskegee.

well, it was this way. When
started, didn't have anything at all
but jest a little yaller puppy dog.
II took the dog over to my brother
in-law's. He had eight little bits of
pigs, oh, Jest so little; an snapped
the puppy with him for one Of the
pigs.
1T was sech little pig that II
didn't look like it would live, but /
nursed it good, and prayed to the
Lord to make that little pig come for
ard to do me good, and the pig lived
and grew.
THE first year turned her out, and
when she came back in the fall she
brought me seven little pigs with her.
THAT was my start. I've never had
to buy any meat since. This winter
I've killed three hogs. and I've got an
other at home now ready to kill.

For several years l have been a
commuter on the Erie" said the sun
burned man, according to the New
York Herald, land l have Joined in
the general raillery at the expense of
that unique system. But never again.
l have just come from Florida, where
they have railroads compared with
which the Erie is the personifcation
Of rapid transit. If you get Off the
main line Of travel In Florida you are
up against it good and plenty.
II wanted to go from Tampa over
to the east coast, and part Of the it.
inerary took in a branch road from
Orange City Junction to New Smyrna.
The distance is twenty-seven miles.
You leave Orange City Junction at
4 :35 p. M, and If the train is on time
1t gets you to New Smyrna at 7:15.
Only two hours and forty-seven min
utes to come twenty-seven miles
That's all Two trains day are op-
Grated over this road-combination
passenger and freight trains.
There used to be an engineer
named Bill Rogers who ran this after
noon train. He is dead now. l I'M
derstand the strenuous life was too
much for him. Bill used to be greatly
annoyed by the razorback hogs that
roam at large through the country,
branded just like cattle. There was
one hog in particular that gave Bill
a lot of trouble. Every evening he
could be found lying comfortably be-
tween the rails at a, point about two
miles outside of New Smyrna, and
Bill would have to climb down from
his cab and pry the hog Off with
crOwbar. You can kill a negro down
In that country and nothing is thought
Of 1t, but you mustn't kill a hog. If
you do, you are liable to 60 to Jail.
"Well, Bill had a crouch on one
day, and when he saw the hog stretch
ed out in the usual wallow he deter
mined to defy the law. So, instead of
stopping to pry the hog of the track,
be opened up his throttle and started
for the obstruction at full speed. Just
as the engine was almost upon him
the hog seemed to realize that some |
thing was wrong. Not waiting for the
usual assistance, he got up, shook
himself, and started down the track
ahead Of the engine. And 1 have the
assurance Of at least dozen respecta-

Anxious Travelling.

The late William e. Ingersoll, the
noted life insurance manager, was an
authority on insurance rates.
"Mr. Ingersoll knew the rates all
over the world" said a New York
manager recently. THE Russian rates
are very high. Mr.. Ingersoll once ex-
planned to me, with story. why this
was. A traveller in Russia, he said,
noticed that the train was decorated
with flags and banners, and at every
station stood a company Of soldiers
and a band playing the national an
them. The traveller asked the brake
