TRUFFLE HUNTING PIGS.
Theirs 10 q Luxurious but a Sad and
Disappointed Life.

O'soPPointeo GHe'
The most luxurious pig in all the
world is, as it painfully happens,
the most unhappy, the most dissat
isfed, the most deceived. Her splen.
did lot in life is to hunt for the de.
licious t%rufle, which, alas, she is
never allowed TO devour.
Her full name is La TRUE, and
she inhabits the pleasant sunny land
round Perigueux and Sorges, in
France. She is the trunic hunting
pig par excellence and belongs TO a
very special breed, which is as much
looked after as a thoroughbred
racer. There is as much difference
between her and an ordinary pig as
there is between a motorcar and a
steam roller.
Sometimes as much as fl00 is
paid for a truffles pig, the animals
special value being that through
long and careful inbreeding it ia
born with an instinct for truflles-
not merely an instructive love, but
a marvellous instinct, which leads IT
infallibly to discover where they are
hidden away in the earth.
This is the tragedy of the truffles
pigs luxurious life.
From youth upward she is fed on
the daintiest morsels. Nothing is
given that might spoil her fine taste.
La TRUE is born with this fine
taste, which belongs to her breed
and which has been carefully foster
ed for years. When she has grown
up a little she is led forth one fine
morning at the end of a slack rope
on a great trufle hunting expedi-
ton. The man who leads her has
no more exact knowledge as to
where the truhles are actually hid
den in the earth than a purblind
owl.
But La TRUE can scent one, 81
fine is her instinct, if it be hidden
nearly two feet under the surface.
Down goes her head with its pc
culiarly long, well bred snout, and
she is roofing at the brown earth
with all the energy she possesses.
As has been said, this instinct is
infallible. a dozen inches or more
down the pig finds the truffle she
has nosed. Forth shoots her snout,
her mouth is just opening to re-
ceive its just reward, when-she is
hauled back with a sudden painful
and not-to-be-denied jerk, and a
sharp pointed stick prods her away
from the delicious morsel.
And the business has only just
started when gathered. Women
peasants with long experience scrub
them delicately with hot water and
n~ailbrushes, and others peel them
just as carefully and gently, much
in the name in which potatoes are
scraped, for as they come from the
earth they look like black fungi and
run about the size of potatoes.
The district of Perigueux and
Sorges supplies the whole world
with truffles. They are finer here
than anywhere else. Like mush-
rooms, they need a period of warmth
and rain in order to insure a good
season, which extends through Oc-
tober, November, December and
January.-London Mirror.

Base Ball solOns.

For few days Omaha will be the center OF
the base ball word In the entertainment OF the
National Association of Base Ball clubs, which
has brought here magnates, managers and solons
OF the game from all quarters. The biggest men
of the diamond have come to thresh out their
biggest problems II may well be doubted II a
bigger problem ever confronted base ball than
this crisis of today II would be especially
gratifying II the problem might be solved, or at
least IL a basis OF solution might be reached at
this Omaha convention, which would then be-
come truly epochal in the history of the game
wise man said long while ago, money
is the root of all evil" lie did not say money
Itself, was evil, but he meant that its abuse was
evil. That is the chief trouble with base ball
today---the abuse OF its commercial side--an
absolutely essential side. at that. Base ball as
an institution never amounted to much until It
was put upon sound business basis But the
mischief came in failing to realize that in that
very citadel of power lurked a menace.
Money in the form OF huge gate receipts
money paid as fancy salaries to players money
paid for release of players--there Is the root of
the evil. The invasion OF the outlaws is but
the occasion, not the cause, OF all this present
woe. The Federal league may be the logic Of
events, but IL the doctors OF base ball had prop
erly diagnosed their case two or three years
ago they would have found that the remedy
could not safely be delayed until now. The pa
tents condition now demands prompt and
drastic action. All friends of the game viii
hope that with clear-headed reason that action
may come at this Omaha meeting.
But. incidentally, whether 1t does or not, per-
NIT us to say that every delegate to this meet

Isit a Military neadlnnkl

Though IL may be but the lull before another
mighty storm Of battle, the present apparent
deadlock in hostilities is significant at any rate
The scenes seem to be shifting in the theater Of
war II our reports are correct the kaiser Is
sending troops from Belgium to Germany where
Russian encroachments are more menacing; his
army is suddenly changed from the offensive to
the defensive and he has called his leaders into
council to determine upon new plans and
methods
While affording no basis for speculation as
to relative gains and losses to date II would
naturally follow that the old plans had not
proved entirely satisfactory. No decisive battle
has yet been fought, but how long a crucial blow
can be STAYED off is open to question. The
mighty German war machine is evidently pre-
pairing to concentrate for another attack. with
the ponderous Russians pressing down from the
east and the allies fighting more doggedly on
the west, the German forces may be expected
soon to renew operations in still more strenuous
fashion.
According to the latest Paris advices, the
last attack made with twelve German army corps
failed OF its purpose and thus brought about
the present deadlock which experts take to be
but "a prelude OF further effort to which all
the forces that the Germans can raise will be
concentrated" Much as VIC might wish for one
finally decisive action, the chances are that It
will take more than one victory or defeat TO
force negotiations for settlement

Power Of a Woman. idea.

While waiting for the Christmas Ship to sail
with its burden of good cheer and comfort for
the little folks OF Europe, let take time to re-
member that II was woman who first thought
OF this great enterprise. The woman is known
TO the public as Lillian Bell She wrote her idea
to the editor of the Chicago Herald, James
Kelley, who instantly recognised its far-reach-
ing value and sponsored It. He In turn COM
mended II to The Bee and other leading news
papers in cities all over the land who adopted 1t
and with their cooperation we are about to
send, in the name OF the children of peaceful
America, approximately 100000 Christmas
gifts, valued at 100000 to the children of
war-devastated Europe.
II is not strange that It took woman s
mother heart to conceive such a plan, though,
as We see, all have mother hearts when II comes
TO such mission OF mercy and gladness. The
prompt and generous response to the invitation
for gifts is an index too unerring to be misunder-
stood. This example of the brotherhood OF man
ought to make the coming Christmas the most
Joyous for us all, even though our hearts are
heavy with the awful sorrow OF the war.

The Autumn Cleanup.

OMAHA, Nov. s.--To the Editor Of The
Bee: The smoke OF burning leaves and
rubbish is one OF the unpleasant features
Of the passing autumn. Everybody is
glad when the trash is burned and the
smoke gone. But the nuisance is
necessary one and can be minimiEed only
by getting It off hand as rapidly as
possible. The thing TO do is for all hands
TO get busy at the annual Job OF cleaning
up natures debris. Street Commissioner
Ryder announces that as his funds for
such work are low. It will help very
much II the people will do their part
toward helping his department in this re-
spect. II every one will see that his own
premises are put in good order there will
be less for the city to do. The Importance
OF getting the leaves and other trash
out OF the way before the snow falls
need not be argued. 1t IL simply q mat
ter Of experience. Modern sanitation, 20

thorough and prompt housekeeping IN
