BATHING THE PIGS.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: One
day last summer while I was visiting my
aunt, her gardener decided that the pigs
needed bath There were six pigs-hve
little pigs and their mother.
There was a sink IN the COW barn, which
the gardener filled with water, then he and
another man took the little pigs, one at
time, and gave them a scrub. They did
not like 1t at all and made a great noise.
grunting and squealing. but finally they
were all done and looked very fine and
clean.
But the men still had 20 wash the
mother, and when they found they could
not get her into the sink the gardener
found a large crate and put her into Il.
Then he turned the hose on her and
scrubbed her through the Stats.
All the children and the dogs gathered
around. and even the goat looked on With
interest.
After that the little pigs were washed
every week. but the sows baths were very
few and far between. Very truly yours,

Mrs. Grey came 10 the window. Just
then one of the soldiers canie forward and
said:

Mrs. Grey calmly, for she was always
courteous I'VE possess only one hen and
that is a pet Of my daughter's'
Well" replied the soldier, pet or no
pet, it's what we want"
Mrs. Grey saw that there was no use
arguing about II, so she said: We'll,
daughter. go and catch your chicken and
/ will have IL cooked"
Virginia obeyed; When she came back
she was sobbing bitterly. One Of the SOL
diers. noticing this. asked the reason.
"Oh," she said, cook Is killing my hen
