Owner.

Cemetery.

Buckner, Mo.-Pete is only a dog.
Just collie dog with the gentle, ex-
pressiye eyes of his kind and good
deal of gray about his muzzle. Folks
in Buckner. Mo-, say that they can no.
ttce the gray the last three weeks or
SO. but they may be mistaken in that.
Pete, being only dog, is not expect
ed to know the depths of emotion that
persons feel. He is not supposed to
understand about death and sorrow and
utter loneliness and that sort of thing.
He was a smart dog, people said, and
had been faithful companion to his
master, William Hudspeth, who lived
on farm near Buckner.
But when Mr.. Hudspeth died three
weeks ago, everyone forgot about Pete.
There were SO many things to be
looked after that the grief-stricken
family left him to his own devices.
Beyond a Dogs Understanding.
1t had been a strange day for Pete.
Early in the morning the people who
came to the house had routed him out
of his place in front of the door where
he had lain during the two weeks his
master was in bed.
They wouldn't let him in where his
master was, not even in the house, al
though he tried to get in several times.
And then finally they brought lis mas
ter out in a big box and everybody
went down the road with him. Pete
went along, of course.
They went on across the railroad
tracks and up the rock road.
He stopped with the rest of them at
the place where the white stones stood
about in the grass and watched them
all go over to a big hole in the ground.
But his master wasn't amongst them.
Perhaps he wasn't in the big box after
all. He'd probably stopped in town as
he always did, and Pete, foolish dog,
hadn't noticed it. 1t was much more
likely than that his master was in that
box they were putting down in the
hole.
So Pete started back. The loungers
on the bank steps called to him as he
stopped there but he paid no attention
to them. They watched him trot or

Great Mogul.
When the czar is in the vicinity of
his capital, the imperial standard
floats from the winter palace flagstaff.
Petrograd, the city made to the or

Russia's political capital, now prob

defense of more than 10000 miles of

tier, of course, does not take into ac-
count the vaguely known northern
boundary of the empire.
Petrosrad's High Tension.
Petrograd has always been a high
tensioned city. 1t was constructed
upon islands and swamps at the be-
hest of high-tension ruler; built with
wide, straight streets upon a perfect
ly fiat country, with no softening nat
ural beauty except that of it's dividing
Neva, a river that has often been COM
pared to the English Thames. Even
the architecture of the city is repres-
sive, almost wholly of sternly chaste
classic Roman and Greek. And in
this city the primary business has
been that of caring for vast empire,
embracing in it's far-reaching sweep
many peoples, numerous religions, di-
verse traditions. confusion of
tongues, and widely varying ideals.
The responsibilities of government
have held the city as tense as when

drained the Neva swamps and builded
overnight his capital hard upon the
lands of the Firms.
Petrograd is the greatest importing
center of the empire. A great part
of the products of Europe which find
their way to the 5leak northern plain
are entered at the mouth of the Neva,
and this despite the fact that the
port is icebound five months of the
year. 1t has, too, some industry, though
it's surrounding region is not rich in
any Of the raw materials Of industry.
Some 100000 of its men and women
normally are employed in manufac-
ture, in the machine and iron works,
in the ship yards. in the cloth fac
tories. shoe factories, and cigarette
factories, that stand on the outskirts
OF the city. around the Finland sta
ton.
There is a certain stern beauty in
the capital. The broad, arrowlike
Nevsky Prospect is fully as interest
ing as any of the worlds famous thor.
oughfares. 1t is a business street,
some three miles long. linod with
shops OF average appearance, churches
representing Greek. Protestant and
Catholic religions. bank buildings. the
public library, the Imperial theater, a
garden. and some dark red palaces.
The remarkably diversified life of the
remarkable empire flows in never.
ending stream along this avenue.

TAX DELNQUENTS :
 WILL GET CHANCE
Judge Advises Acceptance of Fee
 After Warrant Is Out

In police court this morning Judge James T. Meskill advised Personal Tax Collector Charles Elliott to ac- cept payment of taxes hereafter, even though warrants had been issued for the arrest of the delinquents. This will probably have material effect on the number of actual prosecutions as once shown that the collector means business those who have been lax in their payments will be apt to pay right up and avoid having to pay the added tax of $5.82 costs.
 Personal Tax Cases. Those summoned to appear in court this morning for failure to pay their tax were: Sam Davis, 33 Myrtle street; Mike Charnowski of 1S9 Hartford avenue; Bernard Guberneck, 122 Will low street; Edward Helm, 125 Will low street; Alfredo Giorbottistomio, 10S Fremont street; Antonio Branco, 81 Sexton street: Nicolo Cerfaritti, 251 Washington street; Ignatz Gwoyaka 251 High street; -Nicolo Gagliardo, 311 Church street; Daniel M.

Ordinance Objected.

When the clerk read the report from the ordinance committee Coun- cilman Curtis objected to one recom- mendation which had to do with the city building on Commercial street. The proposed ordinance readse"The board of public safety shall have full charge and care of the city building on Commercial street Said board shall appoint two patrol-ambulance drivers, one for day service and one for night service, who shall care for the patrol-ambulance and drive and use said patrol-ambulance under the direction of the chief of police. They shall conform to the rules and regula- tions of said police department. Their salaries shall be fixed by the com mon council"
 Councilman Curtis asked whether this would create any change in the present plan. He understood that one of the patrol-ambulance drivers now acted as janitor and he wanted to know whether there would be an add ed expensc under the new plan. On his motion the amendment to the ordinance was laid on the table un- til the next meeting.

FURNISH SWINE PURE WATER
Hogs Do Not Drink Out Of Filthy
Pools as Matter Of choice-ln-
diana Incident ls Related.

We have heard men argue that hogs
do not require pure water since they
exhibit their disregard in this matter
by commonly drinking out Of filthy
pools. It is not improbable that hog
O a herd may become so degenerate
In its habits as to pay no attention
to the supply of their drinking water.
But this degeneracy. or what else you
may name II. Is not a matter OF en-
Yironment, says q writer In Farmers
Review. Hogs do not differ from 9TH
er animals In adapting themselves to
their surroundings. In fact It Is one
of the laws OF nature that species
which can best adapt itself to varying
conditions stands the best chance to
survive. The hog accepts filthy water
when there is nothing better After a
while he loses his taste for pure water.
Our remarks on this subject are
prompted by the following incident re-
ported by one Of our Indiana readers:
This man had been In the habit of al
lowing his herd of hogs to secure wa
ter from a more or less muddy creek.
On account Of the prevalence Of dis
ease on farm above him he decided
to provide water for the herd with
hog fountain. In hauling the fountain
to its position in the pasture he had
to cross the creek and in getting to
this point a number of hogs out of
curiosity had followed. They contin-
ued to follow him across the creek
and to the final location of the foun-
tain, where they drank to their full
when the water was turned into the
drinking places.

CARE IN FEEDING BROOD sow
Wisconsin Station Secures Satisfac-
tory Results From Corn, Wheat
MlddIings and Alfalfa.

On farms where many kinds or
grain are grown there should be little
or no difficulty In providing a suit
able ration. For several years mature
brood sows In the Wisconsin expert
ment station herd have been fed ra-
tions composed of one-third corn
one-third wheat middltngs and one
third wheat bran or alfalfa. Such
feeds are satisfying and bulky and at
the same time sufficiently nutritious
to cause the sows to gain from fifty
to seventy-five pounds in live weight
during pregnancy. A mixture of equal
parts, by weight, of the feeds men,
toned, fed in the form of thick slop,
is always very satisfactory This In
sures an equal proportion and distri'
button of the various feeds and is rel
ished by the animals. The corn may

not be cut, and the rest of the ration
should be given as a thick slop.
Brood sows weighing from 300 to
$50 pounds usually can be kept on
one of the above rations for about
$3.50 a month.
If you live in section where these
can be grown, sugar beets or giant
half-sugar mangels may be used to
form the bulky portion of the ration
and to replace the bran. The sugar
beets or mangels can be cut up and
fed raw or may be cooked and with
middlings and other meal made into
a thick slop. Soy beans kept on the
vine make excellent winter feed for
swine. They can be stacked In or
near the hog lot in the fall and fed
out as needed The hogs will get
abundant exercise working over the
pile of vines in search of the beans.
