DO you know that pigs are very

times believe that pig will eat
anything, but that Is mistake.
Mr.. Porker is very particular

the horse, COW and sheep, are not
half so choicy as grunty Mr..

Fred in delight. Get the rope and
bring it to me-" Fluffy seemed to
understand. Fighting with all mis-
strength the dog managed to reach
the canoe and grasped the rope in
his mouth Then he started up the
river toward Fred. 1t was a hard
fight The rising water spun and
danced. Sometimes it swept over
the dog; then he dould come up
with brave shake. still holding
the rope in his teeth. Fred stood
on the top of the rock to get out of
reach Of the water, which had now
risen to his knees. At last Fluffy
tugged the rope into the boys
hands.
''You get in first, old boy" said
Fred, as he slung the almost life
less body of the dog into the bot
tom of the boat and climbed in
himself. "If you had been ten min

Fluffy lay quiet on the bottom.
while Fred raced the canoe down
the river. The swift current of the
water helped, and in half an hour
he was at the home landing. Then
he helped the dog rise. Holding
Fluffy in his arms, he called a
carriage and drove home in state
Nothing to good for Fluffy after
this" he said to his father in the
library that night, pointing to the
dog lying asleep on big rug be-
fore the fire. "He saved my life
and can live in ease as long as l
am around; can't you, old boy"

Chinese Make
Straw in Hats

DO you know from where the
straw in your straw hat comes?
At one time the straw braid for
hats was plated in the United
States, Canada, England and Scot
land, but the Chinese have gradu-
ally secured monopoly of the
business. They use wheat straw
exclusively. Out of the wheat straw
the middle section about two feet
long is cut, discarding the tips and
about foot near the root The
clear straw is split by hand into
two, four or seven pieces, depend
ing on the width and style of braid
to be plated. Chinese straw plait-
ers average only cent or two a
day.

ROBIN ourWIrs CAT.

Mr.. Bill Robin who makes his
headquarters in the South SIDE
park is keeping a sharp eye for
cats. A big black cat has made
several attempts to catch him for
dinner, but Bill has eluded them
easily. Bill has become so accus-
toned to the stalking of the cat
that he fools him now and then.
The other day he let him get with
in five feet before he flew to a
maple tree. There he laughed at
the cat as it stole out of the park,
ashamed and angry.

I. [. Narrates
Story of Cat

The following story was written
by f, T.. especially for the Junior:
A cat lived in house where
there were many rats, but where,
also, there was another cat whose
industry made the rats very shy.
Tothe first-named cat this was
very distasteful, because it made
the rat business so dull she often
had to work nights to make a liv-
ing. Whereupon the cat of the
first part thought of a very slick
plan to work as follows on the rats
Going into the room where The
rodents were wont to scamper, she
climbed to the wall and suspended
herself head downward FROM
hook, appearing as if she were
dead. The rats came in and were
very much pleased at seeing low
the cat had got the hook. They
gathered about on the floor be-
meath her and rejoiced greatly.
While they were doing this, all Of
a sudden she dropped among th"m.

Length, ten inches. Not to be
confused with the Whippoorwill.
The latter lives in woodland and is
chiefly nocturnal. The nighthaWk
often flies by day, when the white
bar across the wing and it's nasal
cry are distinguishing.
Range: Breeds throughout most
Of the United States and Canada;
winters in South America.
Habits and economic status: The
skillful evolutions of company of
nighthaWks as the birds gracefully
cleave the air in intersecting cir
cles is a sight to be remembered.
SO expert are they OH the wing
that no insect is safe from them,
even the swift dragonfly being cap
tured with ease. Unfortunately
their erratic flight tempts men to
use them for targets, and this mex
cusable practice is seriously dimin-
ishing their numbers, which is de-
plorable, since no birds are more
useful. This species makes no
nest, but lays it's tWo-spotted eggs
on the bare ground, sometimes on
the gravel roof of the city house.
The nighthawk is a voracious feed
er and is almost exclusively insect
ivorous. Some stomachs contained
from so to so different kinds of in
sects, and more than 600 kinds
have been identified from the
stomachs thus far examined. From
500 to 1000 ants are often found in
a stomach. Several species of mos
quitoes. including Anopheles, the
transmitter of malaria, are eaten.
Other Well-known pests destroyed
by the nighthawk are the Colorado
potato BEETLE, cucumber beetles,
chestnut, rice, clover-leaf and cot
ton-boll weevils, bilIbugs, bark bee
ties, squash bugs and moths of the
cotton worm.

sudden thought, he started on a
slow trot along the river bank in
the same direction the canoe had
gone
81 do believe Fluffy is following
us up the river" said Fred as they
turned bend II can see brown
speck coming in this direction"
In half an hour the boys landed
on the island and commenced to
eat their lunch. When that was
finished they proposed to swim to
the bank opposite the side from
which they had started. Fred did
not know how to swim. so he sat
on a rock to watch the others.
After the boys had gotten to the
other side Fred noticed the sky
had grown dark. Then he saw
that the water at his feet was ris-,
ing rapidly. The boys on the
shore called to him to get into the
canoe at once and row to land.
Fred raced to the shore, but
when he reached the beach he saw
that the boat had broken loose and
was drifting slowly down the river.
He was helpless now. The sky
grew inky, lightning flashed and
thunder rolled, but no rain fell.
There has been a cloudburst up
the river" whispered Fred to him
self, his voice shaking with fear.
"The water is rising and in half an
hour will be over this island-and
| cannot swim"
In agony he watched the boat
drifting still slowly, for it had not
reached the swift current in the
middle of the river.
I'VE have sent Donald back to
Harrison's Landing for a man and
boat, Fred" called the boys from
the bank. Keep up your courage
till he gets here" But the lad
knew the landing was three miles
down the river and 1t would take
an hour for help to come.
Then out of the bushes on the
bank from which they had started
he saw a brown body leap like
shot. Then battling with the cur
rent, he saw the shaggy head of
Fluffy swimming toward the boat.
That's 1t, old boy!" shouted

Poor old Fluffy" sighed Fred
as he lay in the hammock, lazily
swinging under the cherry tree.
Il am afraid his time is almost up
he is getting blind and useless.
Perhaps it would be kindness to
let him dire painlessly."
Fluffy, big, brown, curly
haired setter. lay on the ground
watching Fred. His nose was be-
tween his outstretched paws and
his soft eyes seemed to read the
boys thoughts. Presently he rose
painfully and walked over to the
lad, resting his big. shaggy head
lovingly on the boys knee.

UNION MAY AID
BOSSES BY VOTING TO
LENGTHEN HOURS

Boston.-A unique plan has just
been decided upon by members of the
Metal Polishers' and Buffers Union of
Boston, in order to help employers
pay the union scale of wages and yet
be able to do business on equal con
ditions with their competitors whose
employees have no agreement with the
bosses, and therefore work long hours
at varying wages
The plan is nothing less than to
vote to work longer hours than they
are at present without asking for ex-
ira pay.
The metal polishers have been re-
newing contracts with employers
yearly. They are working under strict
union conditions now in many shops
throughout the city. But in the past
few months employers who have al
union, and who have been giving the
workers a fair deal in their shops,
have asked the union for aid in a try
ing situation. The bosses claim that
their competitors, owing to the fact
that their non-organized employees toll
several hours a day longer than the
union workers, are making it hard for
them during the summer months to
sell goods on an equal footing with
them whan the MAMMA cturerS' costs
are very much higher than theirs.
When the appeal was submitted to
the union it was decided to put the
question up to the workers direct. 1t
was considered that the best way to
help the bosses would be to work fifty
nine hours a week instead of the
fifty-three the union contract calls for
and the vote is now being taken.

DETROIT'S AUTO -
FACTORY WORKERS
BEING ORGANIZED

Detroit.-Union organizers are slow
ly but surely making Roadway in or
ganizing the thousands of workers in
Detroit's huge automobile factories.
With the papers braying about the
fabulous prosperity of Detroit, the
millions yielded to the owners from
automobile plants, and such like
things, the average person is apt to
think of employees in one of these
shops as the aristocrats of labor. AS
a matter of fact, they drudge and toll
and sweat at as low wages and under
as intolerable conditions as workers
in many another trade. The auto
mobile plutocrats are working the life
out of their men.
In order to speed up the workers to
the limit every conceivable oppressive
deficiency" system is being tried on
them In the auto painting and trim
ming shops, where men work at piece
rates, the latter are cut often in half
when, after being speeded up, the men
appear to be earning more than a bare
living.
1t is to remedy conditions such as
these that organizers are now pene-
trating into the immense factories,
convincing the workers of the bene-
fits of organization. The Carriage
and Automobile Workers Union local
is increasing its membership by leaps
and bounds since the present organ
ization campaign was started, and it
is hoped by union leaders that the
day is not far distant when every
automobile factory here will be turned
into a union plant, and the present
open shop conditions will be but a
memory.

said an official of the department,
that whenever a serious epidemic
exists INSCRIPTIONS dealers prey upon
the fear or ignorance of the public by
flooding the market with worthless,
hastily prepared connections for
which they assert curative properties
which have no foundation in fact. In
the present instance inspectors have
already discovered shipments of a
few such mixtures"
The danger from fake cures, the de-
partment points out, is not only in
their use-for they may be dangerous
mixtures-but in the false sense OF
security which the victim feels, thus
neglecting to avail himself of the
services of competent medical as
sistance.
With the spread of paralysis to the
Mississippi region the department s
inspectors declare they will have
their hands full in tracing the patent
medicine takers.
