BOLD BELLICERENT Pig
BESTS BRAVE REPORTER

This is a story of a man and pig
1t is not story of blind man, neither
is it story of a blind pig" The
wonderful part Of this story is that
it is absolutely true in every detail
with the exception of the name of the
man. In this matter the reporter, for
safety-first reasons, has deemed it ad-
yisable to maintain silence.
A few days since the hustling su-
perintendent of Grady county's public
instruction found that he would be
compelled upon that particular day
to visit one of the rural schools To-
Gated in the extreme corner of the
county, some thirty odd miles or more
from Chickasha.
Now, if there is any one thing which
this particular county superintendent
breads more than any other one thing,
il is to be compelled 10 make a long
auto drive with no one save himself
with whom to commune and swap ex-
perience and gable.
Hence, whenever a long and tire
some drive confronts him, this su-
perintendent HES himself forth upon
the streets of Chickasha and hunts up
a companion with whom to share his
journey He will take anyone he may
find, but prefers newspaper men.
Give this superintendent good, lively
reporter, one possessed of a working
imagination and gift of CAB, which
may be persuaded to work overtime,
and he is fixed for the days drive
Give him such bundle of conversa-
ton machinery and the superintend-
ent will drive far into the country and
find the toughest roads easy shedding
far into the still watches Of the night.
So the other day when the county
superintendent had to make this drive
away down yonder to the College
Mound school, he felt himself par
ticularly fortung .e when he found he
could secure the entertaining com
pany of an adamant checked reporter
who was the possessor of the finest
line of conversation owned in fee sim
pie by anyone, barring none, in Chick
asha, Grady county Oklahoma, U. S.
A.
According to current report this re-
porter is also possessed Of an over
whelming inclination to become per-
sonally acquainted with every man,
woman, child and infant-in-arms who
may through any chance become Q
voter in this county during the next
double decade. This being the case,
the reporter found himself on this trip
afflicted with a great thirst and at
every prosperouslooking white-painted
farm house he would solicit the county
superintendent to halt his Ford long
enough for the reporter to interview
the man or the woman of the house
and to draw great daughts of water
into his personal reservoir.
On such occasions the reporter
would talk to everyone about the
premises, conversing on every imag-
Unable subject from the latest out in

! MARCEL waves to the last advance of
the European armies. He would then
pat the house-guarding doggie on the
head, smooth the fur of Thomas, the
house cat, nuzzle the nose of Dobbin,
the family horse, and hand out gen
eral conversation to all present, hu-
man folks and brute beasts"
1t was at one of those stops for
"a drink of water" that the reporter
cultivated most successfully and to
his own temporary undoing, the ac-
quaintance of a pet Berkshire pig.
The pig was approximately five
months old and well grown for his
age; he was of the gentleman per-
suasion, of troublesome political faith
and irritable and quarrelsome by ma
ture, inclination and profession.
When the county superintendent
stopped at the home where the pig
belonged about the premises, the re-
porter began forthwith TO make
friendly advances toward his pigship,
Come here, piggiewig," said he.
mice little hoggie, come near me and
let me tickle your back with my fin
gers and delight your ears with stories
OF the beautiful and sanitary packing
house which is destined to ultimately
become your last home" 'Har-rumph,
bool" said the pig and champed its
jaws and looked vicious.
"Better leave him alone" advised
the lady of the house. Continuing,
the lady said the boys had been teas
ing the pig and boxing with him until
he had become naturally and egctis-
tically vicious.
"Oh, that's all right" persisted the
reporter. 81 never saw a pig yet
with whom l could not cultivate an
acquaintance which would ultimately
ripen into warm and lasting friend
ship" and again addressing the pig,
Come to me, piggiewoo."
"Twas then that piggiewig piggiewoo
came. He came all toether and all
at once. He came with a series of
grunts and rush. The reporter saw
the coming and attempted to retreat
from the banks of the Rubicon. Alas,
too late. Before the strategic move
ment of "about face, the rear, march"
could be accomplished the pig was
upon, beneath and over the reporter.
He ran between the reporters legs
with an angry "woof" and the le-
porter sat down on the hard earth with
harder thump. The pig reversed
and charged again. This resulted in
the reporter assuming a recumbent
position with his arms and legs waving
in the air. The pig charged again
and carried the works by storm. He
climbed upon the reporters chest and
fomped and foamed at the mouth and
champed his teeth and grunted and
saueeled with an unholy glee as he
grabbed at and attempted to bite and
lunch off the adamant reportorial
cheek.
"Sooey, dad gast you!" cried the
reporter as he frantically waved his

Will CALL Halt
ON land MAKERS
At BEACH edge

Following a short meeting of the
harbor board held on Saturday after
noon in the new rooms at the capitol
for the purpose of approving large
number of bills that have collected
during the time in which a quorum of
members was not present in the terri
tory, the commissioners left at
o'clock for an investigation of Waikiki
beach. ~. .-.@ .......,...
Two main violations of law and good
order were found along the beach by
the commissioners in their walk from
the sewer pumping plant to Waikiki
Inn, according to Chairman Charles
R. Forbes today, these violations be-
ing the indiscriminate throwing of old
cans and broken bottles along the wa
ter's edge, and the creating of lands
by unnatural accretion. Legal steps
will be taken at once by the commits
sion to bring this state of affairs to
an end.
Mr. Forbes says that there is no
reason why Waikiki for practically its
entire length should not be fine clear
beach of sand, and that it is the in
tention of the harbor board to make it
thus as nearly as possible. A map Of
the beach is being prepared this week
in the offices of the public works de-
partment,

WASHINGTON, b. c., Noy. a.
President Wilson finds support for his

ness In the Scriptures. There he finds
teachings which to his mind fit the
present case.

olven Mr.. Wilson's "keynote" speech
az the Manhattan club last week. Men.
tioninp Mr.. Lows praise, Mr.. Wilson
spoke Of Scripturai teachings, and
made Il known that he has thought
much over the passage In the book Of
Ezekiel, thirty-thlrd chapter, verses
two 20 elk inclusive.
The passages In which Mr.. Wilson
finds biblical Endorsement of pre-
parednessr are as follows:
Ezekiel. Chapter The Watch
mans Duty"
1. And the word of Jehovah came to
me. saying,
2. Son OF man, speak to the children
Of their people and say unto them,
When bring the sword upon land,
and the people of the land take a man

upon the land, he blow the trumpet
and warn the people;

ing, IL the swerd come, and take him
away, his blood shall be upon his own
head.
5. He heard the sound of the trum-
pet and took not warning: his blood
shall be upon him; whereas If he had
taken warning, he would have deliv-
cred his soul.
6. But II the watchman see the
sword come, and blow not the trum.

The leaves of the kat plant are G

of Abyssinia and Arabia They are
chewed when any special or iong-con-
tinued effort il to be made, and their
effect is to produce an agreeable
sleeplessness and stimulation-a kind
Of intoxication Of long duration-with
none Of the disagrseable features OF
ordinary inebriety. They enable
messengers ana soldiers to go with
out food for number Of days. They
sometimes produce q state of drunk
enness, like the alcohol Of Europeans,
but overindulgence is rare, the ef-
fects of abuse of the habit being q
tendency of the body to dry. and
emaciation Of the visage, with trem-
bling Of the limbs and other nervous
troubles. In some places merchants
chew the leaves two or three times .
day. the habit being fairly comparable
to the use Of tea in the United States
and elsewhere. The plant il specially
cultivated as dwarf shoots. shrubs anC
small trecs--the dwarf plants being
not more than sixteen inches tall and
