far as can be found out, no other French
man bears that name 1t has even been
suggested that the great mover took
the name arbitrarily on purpose to at

word ''cochon" means simply pig"

is as a cursing word. especially as a term
of personal insult.

Briefly. this is What Cochon does: He
moves poor families. and especially poor
large families, out of their lodgings on
which the rent is overdue so quickly that
the landlords can't get papers executed
TO seize the furniture, and he moves them
into any other place he can find open be-
fore anybody car determine where the
outcasts came from, who they are
whether they will ever pay or how many
children they have. He is profess
sionai enemy OF all landlords, great and
small. and a professional champion and
guardian Of large families.
Here, then. is a short history of the
career of Cochon. as told by himself at
his Office. Is Rue Mademoiseiie, Paris,
XIV, the other day:
In the early spring Of 1911 Cochon had
a lot OF conversations with his working

when the landlords patience is nearly,
but not altogether exhausted, that no
legal attachment has been made on the
tenants furniture, the raid comes.
1t comes like a flock of grasshoppers
or locusts, or other predatory insects,
out of clear sky, to instantly infest
the street, clean out the un-paid-for fiat,
and depart to the four winds as miracu-
lously as came the assault. From four
to twelve ordinary pushcarts, which,
about like WheelbarroWS in Paris
come scooting round all near corners and
draw up before the house. The husky
fellows who man them, Corchon himself
at their head, dash up the stairs, carry
down what pieces of the furniture they
can handle, lowering heavier articles by
block and tackle from windows put them
in the carts, and, when the fiat is abso-
lutely stripped. scoot off again. each cart
in its own direction, the wife and chill
dren of the unfortunate tenant always
tagging in mournful procession behind
the pushcart commanded by Cochon him.

1t need not be assumed that the land
lord and concierge of the house stand
by and let the raid go unresisted Not
at all. They put up all the fight they
are capable of, which is not enough, of
course, against Cochon's crew. I'VE push

Cochon on that point. What is a poor

every one of whom can match his weight
in a. fight against anybody, all of whom
are trained, experienced movers? Why,
all of sour members put together could
raid a dreadnought and carry off the
furniture before the owners of the ship
could stop us
Doubtless they could. There are now
two thousand husky fathers of large fam
lilies in the Federation Rationale ct Inter
rationale des LOcataires ttenants), which
Cochon has organized. and of which he is
the secretary and real boss.
To follow the raid further: Cochon has
instructed the puShcart men where to hide
the furniture, if such precaution is
thought necessary. or. in the other case,
where to meet. The getaway is accom-
plished. of course, long before the land
lord can get over to court, swear out at
tachment papers, secure the proper Offi-
Ger and return formally to serve them.
Without such service the furniture cannot
be held and its removal cannot be legally
resisted. The policemen, VINO come rum
ming from all directions to investigate the
cause for the gathering in the street of
an enormous crowd of onlOOkers, every
one of whom is hysterical with laughter
at the Cochons moving out can do
nothing whatever except look on, or laugh,
too. Cochon has read the French law
books to some purpose. He knows what
he can do. He also dares do what the
law says he must not, resistance by force
to all landlordly measures whatsoever be-
ing foundamental principle of his Ten
ants Union. He is indeed the arch
enemy of landlords.
Before he moves out a family Cochon
always has. however. suitable place
into which to move them. Frequently,
though. he chooses to do bit of ad-
vertising on a grand scale before TAX
ing them to the place made ready for
them. One of his most notable feats
was a drive on the Elysee palace.

proven that this dread Rex" and the
disease engendered by it are the cause OF
this loss. The knowledge of this disease

ravages. They will know of the readl-
ness of it's transmission from one animal
to another. and can take intellgent
measures to prevent its spread. This in
itself will mean saving of many mil
lions of dollars to the breeders.
When the antitoxin shall have been dis
covered-and science will never give up
until this has been accomplishment in
calcuiable saving will result. Cattle Will

duced. The economic results of this
alone will be far reaching.
If, as now seems probable. this disease
is found to attack human beings an
other great field is opened up. A power

of skillful physicians and an awful pow
er in the hands of quacks. With a knowl-
edge of the disease and of remedy
saving of millions of lives may be eff
fected and untold suffering and misery
prevented.
Said DR.. A. c. Abbott, the eminent bac-
teriologist of the University of Pennsyl-
vania when questioned upon the matter:
This is of the widest import. j regard it
as one of the most important advances
in science within years The fact that it
has such wide range of pathogenisity
would indicate that mankind would prob
ably be subject to its infection. Now.
don't misquote me. / do not say that
mankind is subject to its infection. be-
cause it has not as yet been so demon
strated but the probabilities point toward
future verifcation of this idea. If it is
proved to be true that such is the case.
then will be explained the cause of SO
much barrenness among large portion
of our women, and the frequent cases of
unexplained premature birth. 1t is an
established fact that one germ may in
crease or decrease the activity Of another
germ, and DR.. Schroeder's investigation
shows that this bacillus has that effect on
some germs. 1t does not necessarily fol-
low, however, that it would affect all
germs in the same manner. However.
further investigation must be done along
this line also. In regard to the cattle in

this disease will enable proper methods

SOCIETY TURNS OUT
 TO ROBERTS SOCIAL

"A bully good time was the verdict rendered by those who attended the social evening given under the aus pices of Miss May Roberts al Eagle hall ast night. Though entirely in formal the affair might be described as brilliant and lacking in that stiff ness that sometimes mars. The ladies appeared particularly pretty and hap py and no untoward incident occurred to spoil the good time. The music supplied was excellent. the punch served en regle propre and the floor in fair shape.
 The dance. however. did not blot from the memory the excellence of the foregoing program which was short and sweet Miss Barry's baladsing ing clicitcd the most applause. but what was of most interest to Nome ties was the rendering of local songs music and poems. Castle and Hanks song. The Lady I've Married's a Suf fragette" is certainly clever. 't Is not only funny but not lacking in a dis tinct style in fact out of the rut.
 Probably of most interest in the whole evening. however. was Mrs Esther Darling's "A Growl from Nome" recitcd by Victor Gillard. This was listened to with hreathless atten- ton and the audience seemed to fol- low en rapport every word. in this splendid description of q northern dog race. Mrs. Darling was heard to compliment NIT. Gillard in immeasur- ed terms for his excellent rendition.
 MT. Gillard took occasion to remark during the evening. that in his opinion an actor had great opportunity in his world wide travels to advertise any one particular town when given an opportunity to study the words Of n local part, he said: Perhaps strong CT than the power of the press Is the power of the human voice when spok- en from the heart. and shall certain ly use what power have to advertise Nome
 Gillard may be congratulated for supplying so excellent a program. The evening was an undoubted success.
