upon him the tremendous progress
that science and invention have made

making a great noise.
sThe whole trouble started with
Grandpa Pig. He didn't want to wash
his face nor have a bath, nor did he
even want any breakfast. But, worst
of all, he didn't want to join in the
mornings concert.
"You may be surprised to hear it
but they call that racket, as we would
say, a concert. They all make as
much noise as they can, and each
thinks he can drown out the other
voice, so it is no wonder a barnyard
is such wild sort of place in the
morning.
"And the Animals not only enjoy
hearing their own voices, but they
think that having all the different
voices of the different Animals togeth-
er makes it a very superior chorus.
"But this morning Grandpa Pig was
very disagreeable. In the first place
of all he didn't want to squeal, and he
just grunted all the time. He had the
loudest grunt of any Pig in the barn
yard, and he made so much noise that
the squeals could scarcely be heard
for long time.
Grandpa Pig was grunting like this:
al want to burrow in the mud.
want to sleep. I hate concerts. This
barnyard is too clean. like dirt.
like peace. | like marshy ground.
hate this stupid, neat barnyard.'
"Of course they like to have the
Pigs grunt every so often in the con
cert-that makes it interesting
when Grandpa Pig just grunted these
cross little sentences they all got very
angry.
"Gobble,- gobble, do be quiet said
Mr.. Turkey There's nothing like be-
ing clean and having a good breakfast
and a morning concert. You don't
know what a fine time you have in
this barnyard. Suppose you never had
any fun and lived all, all alone. You
are very lucky old Pig to have such
interesting friends
! "You know Mr.. Turkey is proud OF
himself and he wanted to make Grand
pa Pig understand that he was lucky
"But Grandpa Pig only got all the
crosser when they talked to him. He
said it was so ridiculous to have the
same thing every morning. 1t was
just as bad for them to go through the
same nonsense every morning, as il
was for the grown-ups and Boys and
Girls to eat bacon and eggs each morn
ing.
when the other little Pigs heard
him speak about bacon they began tc

to have been born near Rome in 1860

is an American citizen.

day from Zehr, and Immediately be-
gan an investigation but the birth re-
cords in the office of the clerk Of the

that name. However these records

doubted here that Zehr was born in
this country and that he is an Ameri-
