SHIPS HOGS BY DIVINE WILL
Ideas Regarding Filling Stock
Car With Hogs.

Kansas City, Mo.-Tn a few days A.
D. Coleman, of Abilene, Kan, will
have another peculiar shipment of
hogs at the Kansas City stock yards.
In a letter to his commission men here
Mr.. Coleman says that Divine will"
has ordered him to make consign'
ment of hogs to market In two 80-foot
double-decked cars. He does not spec.
fly how many there will be in each
car, but says that as soon as the hogs
have been unloaded in Kansas City
the cars will suddenly disappear. A
few weeks ago Mr. Coleman consigned
six hogs to this market in two 40-foos
stock cars, three hogs to each car.
The shipment, he said, was made in
accordance with Divine will, and he
expected, on arriving in Kansas City
to find the cars filed to ordinary ca.
pacity, or si1ty-fve to seventy hogs
in each car. His first test of his "reve-
lation," though rather expensive, has
not discouraged him in the least.

MORE" ScAREs WOMEN
BATHERS FOUR.
HAS NOW BEEN RECHRISTENED
Thinks His Change Of Name a Bore
Beats the Ravens Flight Of Yore
-Quoth the Ladies', "NeVer
MoreI"

New York.-With due respect to
the memory of Edgar Allan Poe, the
parrot Lenore, owned by Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles McDermott of 112 West One
Hundred and Thirty-second street, par
ttctpated in more weird and Woody ad-
ventures during the torrid hours OF
the other afternoon and the almost as
torrid hours of the night than were
ever INDUCED in by any squadron OF
ravens in or out Of a Poe fantasy.
Ignores name used to be Pat, but
as Charles McDermott is fond of Poe
and loves the name Lenore on his
tongue, he rechristened the parrot for
the sake of euphony. Parrot fancters
declare that gentleman parrots become
attached to their names and bitterly
resent change. Pat Lenore ran true,
to form, and after exhausting an elab-
crate vocabulary of epithet against
his new feminine "moniker," bristled
his feathers the other day at precise
~ p. N. and departed from the Nc
Dermott fiat.
At One Hundred and Thfrty-second
street and Lenox avenue Lenore
alighted at an open bathroom window.
Water was cascading into the tub, and
as the parrot listened he heard foot
steps. A tall, slim maiden lady was
slipping into the bathroom. She was
very warm, so she lost no time in
submerging herself She had just be-
gun to splash blithely in the tub when
it occurred to the emerald plumed
bird to again resent his rechristening.
So, sticking his head inside the win
dow, he declared savagely:
me name is Patti"
Imagine the horror of tall, slim
maiden lady in superlative undress at
masculine voice calculating mascu-
line name in her very ear. Miss-(but
at her modest request her identity will
remain secret) thinks that she
swooned and might have drowned had
the water been deep enough.
She is positive that she bIushed
from her toes right up to her curl pa
pers, and the moment she had recov-
cred sufficient strength to raise her
hands she covered her face, rose
from the tub and fed shrieking from
the bathroom.
Pat Lenore entered and sampled the
bottles Of the medicine chest, with the
result that he departed in high good

lage and notified Deputy Sheriff Hen
derson. The officer hurried to the
farm and hastily obtaining a descrip-
ton went in the direction supposed
to have been taken by the robbers.
Three of them were rounded up. Hen
derson left them in charge of other
farmers while he took up the chase
for the others. He trailed them to a
swamp and succeeded in capturing
them. The officer, in company with
Turnkey Elliott of the Lapeer jail, re-
turned to where the three were left,
only to find that they had escaped.
The Italians were first seen at the
Kingsbury farm early in the evening,
when they stopped and asked for a
drink of water. Obtaining this they
began dickertng for the purchase Of a
chicken. Being told that there were
no chickens for sale they purchased a
number of eggs and a quantity Of
bread They rendered ten-do1lar bill
in payment for purchase Of one
dollar. Being told that there was not
sufficient change in the house the
Italians produced fiVe-dollar bill and
were given four dollars in return.
They insisted on buying a chicken,
claiming that they had brother who
was i'll and needed chicken. They
finally obtained a chicken and went
away. About thirty minutes later
they returned and asked for matches.
AS Mr.. Kingsbury turned from the
doorway to grant their request four
of the visitors followed him into the
house while the other stood outside.
What do you want IN here?" asked
Kingsbury.
tits none of your business" was
the reply.
At that Kingsbury and his wife
were seized.
The money, amounting to a large
sum, was taken away by those who
escaped. Thirty-five dollars which
was sewed in Mrs. Kingsbury's skirts
was missed by the robbers.

Motor Omnibus Useful In War.

The great army maneuvers TINS
gear will, as usual. possess many new
and interesting departures affecting
modern warfare. Among other inno-
vations 1t is this year anticipated that
motor omnibuses will play very
great part in the maneuvers.
Each motor omnibus will be pro-
vfded with room for so soldiers, and
possess a speed Of about rs kilometers
an hour. This experiment was tried
with small portion Of troops last
autumn in Germany, and was found
to work spendidly, the men being
conveyed to the desired positions far
quicker than If they had marched on
foot, in addition to reaching their
destination much fresher and reader
for the work before them.
This year when q long march is
taking place it Is intended to use the
motor buses in conjunction with foot
marches. The buses will convey a
portion of the troops ahead, drop them
at certain point, whence they will
continue their march refreshed with
the rest and the drive, and the buses
will return to the main body for an
other load of soldiers, who will in turn
be conveyed to the now advance
guard,

Several small red and swollen
splotches were discovered on her
scalp, but little thought was given to
them. Enduring the pain all day, the
girl went home at closing-up time and
told her mother of her discomfort.
The hair was again taken down and
the scalp examined, and drops of blood
with more incisions were discovered.

CALFLEss cow ADOPTS PIGS
gereaved Mother and Little Orphans
Said to Be Very Devoted to
Each Other.

Owensville, Ind.-Reese Gentry, a
prominent farmer living near Mount
Vernon, has a COW on his farm that
adopted litter of pigs after her twin
calves were sold to a butcher. It hap
pened that the piggles became mother
less about the time the cow became
calfiess.
The grief-stricken cow wandered
about the farm hunting something to
coddle when her eyes spied the squeal-
ing orphan pigs, and it was love at
sight. The old COW does the mother
act until it comes to granting, and it
must be admitted that she is shy on
that art.
The pigs do the calf stunt by stand
ing on their hind legs and bracfng
themselves against their foster mother
while taking their liquid nourishment.
