An Ancient Breed.

1t seems that the mule-foot hog
is nothing new. Aristotle, born
234 B. G. wrote about race of hogs
with fused toes and in 1907 Linnae-
Gus wrote that hogs with individ-
ual toes were found in Sweden. No
one knows the origin of this race
Biologically we know that 1t is new
err than the split hoof sort. But
where the race began has not
been found out yet. 1t is curious
that there is a soft pad under the
fused hoof. 1t has been asserted
that this has been developed to al
low it to approach prey silently.
Hencein its past it must have been
more carnivorous than the Or
binary kind. Its small intestines
would also seem to conform this
point. No one knows where it has
obtained its present wonderful de-
velopment. 1t now weighs as much
as any other type. Field and

Good Roads for Nothing.

Washington, July 11.-Improve-

ed the value of property bordering
on such roads, so that the cost of
improvement is equalized and often
exceeded, says the Department of
Agriculture in a bulletin issued yes
terday.
The department has gathered a
mass of data through the Office of
public roads, which is making a
special study of the economical
effect of the road improvement.
According to the information
land values not only have increased
but farm values often show marked
advances over the original outlay
as result of road improvement.

People will Talk.

You may 90 through the world, but
twill be very slow
If you listen to all that is said as
you 60
You'll be worried and fretted and
kept in a stew,
For meddlesome tongues must
have something to do.
And people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you'll have it
presumed
That your humble position is only
assumed
You're a wolf 10 sleeps clothing.
or else you're fool:
But don't get excited, keep perfectly
cool.
For people will talk.
And then, if you show the least
boldness of heart,
Or a slight inclination to take your
own part,
They will call you an upstart, con-
ceited and vain.
But keep straight ahead, don't stop
to explain,
For people will talk.
If threadbare your dress. or old
fashioned your hat.
Someone will early take notice of
that,
And hint rather strong that you
can't pay your way.
But don't get excited whatever
they say.
For people will talk.
If you dress in the fashion, don't
think TO escape.
For they criticise them in a differ
ent shape
You're ahead of your means, or
your tailor's unpaid.
But mind your own business; there's
nought to be made.
For people will talk.
Now the best way to do, is to do as
you please,
For your mind, if you have one
will then be at ease.
Of conrse you will meet with all
sorts of abuse
But don't think to stop them, it
amt any use.
For people will talk.
