HOG-KlLLlNG TIME.

o, it's mighty fine alvin in the lazy
summer days,
When the sleepy suns a-smilin in a
sort of drifty haze,
An the spring it has attractions with
its buddin forest trees,
An the liltin Of the songsters, an the
hummin OF the bees.
Bus o, ELL the times I'm loyin', faint
tte sCmmer nor the spring,
Mon % amt the golden autumn, with
us o'euteous harvesting,
Put so me of all the seasons writ in
sermons or in rhyme,
Jest the best of all is winter an the
ole hog-killn' time.
Oh, the smell of stewed-up liver an
the good ole spare-rib pie!
An the backbone on a-bakin', an the
sausage on to fry! --
An the piles of ham an bacon, maxim
sech a goodly store,
Like the Horn of Plenty somehow had
been emptied at my door.
Oh, the pigs feet all a-soakin' for the
maxim of the souse!
An the chilluns happy laughter sound
in all about the house.
An the weary mother joinin in a sort
OF gentle chime,
Oh. it's Jest ez good ez Crisnus, is the
ole hog-killin' time
Oh you fellers in the city, buyin'
rations by the day,
Don't know half the joy of Twin in the
good ole-fashioned way!
Don't know all the satisfaction of a
quiet time of rest,
When the day of toll is over, an you
know you've done the best
An the chilun all a-singin' fore you
run EN- off to bed.
Bout their mother alwasy feedin' EN-
on good ole short'nin' bread.
O. the ole hog-killin time! o. the ole
hog KILN time
It's the choice of all my pleasures-ls
the ole hog-killin time

HUPM0BILE BEING USED
AS MAIL DELIVERY WAGONS

Having solved the merchants delivery
problem, the motor car is now tackiinS
the mail collection Job and Uncle Sam
declares the innovation is a huge success.
Over in Toledo four Hupmobilc motor
wagons are used to COLLECT mail all
through the city. The carriers no longer
have this to do and the quartette OF
Hupmobiles is sufficient TO do all that
the entire staff of carriers formerly &C
compliished In collections.
The significance Of this move along the
line Of speed and economy is apparent.
