 Morton F. Plant. owner of the Bran ford farms at Groton, is the principal pig exhibitor. His stock occupy a score or more of pens starting at the south east corner of the grounds and continuing along the south side as far as the cattle sheds. All the stock Is in the pink of condition but the warm weather caused them d good deal of discomfort Monday. All the pigs are Berkshire stock and bid fair to schal- lenge any in the county. There are a number of full grown sows and there tured stock. The chief attraction at the pens is the mother with her squeaking family of youngsters only three weeks old and the front of this pen Is generally crowded with children who watch with much interest the an- tics of the young pigs. In pen a little farther along there Is a lart boar and many are the favorable com ments upon his size and appearance. In one of the last pens is monstrous SOW the largest of the exhibit. Two authorities on pigs were overheard discussing the probable weight of the SOW on Monday afternoon one claim ing that she would weight 500 pounds and the other that she would tip the scales at $50.
 Another exhibit that is a centre of attraction is a pure Berkshire and lit- ter of nine young pigs. This exhibit is owned by c. R. Potter and on Mon day afternoon was on a wagon just east of the exhibition hall
 There Is a fine lot of Berkshire and O. I. c. hogs, 32 in number, which Is ticketed from the J. B. Palmer Round Hill farm at Lisbon, and George A. Kahn of Yantic is on hand with cou- pie of sows with their filters of cute little white pigs. One of the old sows has a family of seven and the other musters ten at her side.

 For one example of downward tariff revision, he took the beef trust, which he said had nullified the effect Of free beef by buying Argentina for three cents a pound what they had to- pay six to eight cents here for.

cles for some hours and hours. He
hadn't the foggiest notion where he

now it had just begun to rain.
Robinson felt very bitter toward
the world. At length he came up
on what appeared to be a signpost;
though what was written on it. try
as he would, he could not see. He
shook the post, and swore at 1t. But
that helped him not at all.
So, taking off his shoes, he fmmbl-

brought out a box of matches. Luck
lily 1t contained a match = Just one
and on more.
Slowly and with much labor. he
proceeded to climb the post; and at
the top, anxiously and carefully, he
struck the match.
What he said then cannot be
printed. The Pickering glare of the
match showed these three words:
