constitution. BY no means accept any
breeding animal that is narrow-chest-
ed, for it is q sure indication Of lack
of vitality and consequently Of breed
ing ability. Ample capacity in the
middle should be provided by we'll
sprung ribs, and long, deep sides.
Many judges of hogs regard good
roomy sows as being especially high in
fecundity, and this characteristic is
certainly no detriment to their confor-
nation, provided 1t is combined with
quality.
A SOW should show the type demand
ed in q market animal, namely, a
strong, wide, deeply fieshed back !;
smoothly covered shoulders; plump,
well-rounded hams; and trim, neat
underline. A wide, well-develOped pei
vic cavity will insure easy parturition,
and the udder should be evenly and
well developed and have at least II
teats. Her legs should be strong and
we'll placed, have good clean bone, and
strong, straight pasterns. 1t Is not Of
as great Importance to have perfect
feet and legs in sow as in a male,
but she should show no weakness at
this point. A sow should have scale
and size, combined with quality.
Strong, clean, hard bone, trim joints,
neat ears, fine, glossy bristles. and
freedom from folds and wrinkles in the
skin, are all indications Of quality. A
large, raw-boned SOW, having plenty of
capacity and size, but lacking in fem
ininity and quality, is one Of the poor

"A Woman 5
Wit
By Victor Redclife''


(copyrisht 1s17. Western Newspaper Union-)
Levi Duryea was the most important
man In Rossville. At least SO he fam
cied when they made him sheriff. It
was quiet community and the district
was sparsely settled. His duties were
BY no means onerous. He felt himself
equal to any occasion, however. He
was engaged to Matte Burrows, and
one evening after his usual call Mat
tie said to her sister:
'Vesta, I want to tell you that Levi

'1ndeed?" remarked vesta quite cas-
ually. She had just graduated, and
her main thoughts were Of preparation
and training as a schoolteacher, and
not at all interested In love affairs
or gossip.
Eyes; it seems that at the other
end Of the county, at Woodville, lives
q Mr.. Mark Ridley, with his sister.
They are quite well-to-do people, but
a former partner of this Mr.. Ridley is
going to bring suit about some I'M
settled business matters. Mr.. Ridley
Is arranging for q trip around the
world and does not wish to be de-
layed, and is keeping out Of the way
SO they will not obtain legal service
upon him. The lawyers who have the
case In hand have been unable to find
him. They have offered Levi thou

'aThat would be quite help towards

cal-minded Vesta.
"That is just what Levi says" re-
piled Matte animatedly. II do hope
Levi locates this elusive Mr.. Ridley.
He thinks he can, and is, making great
plans to do So" -.
But ambitious Levi learned a week
later that Mr.. Mark Ridley continued
to be elusive. Vesta was interested
enough In the matter to put aside her
books one evening, when Levi and the
family were gathered together in the
sitting room and their visitor was de-
failing his experience in looking for
his thousand-dollar prize.

ProwIer Made a Mistake.

If there Is anything that will make
folks forget sleep 1t is a burglar scare.
Some third-rate prowler, with trick
feet, made technical mistake In the
course of his work In a Broadway
apartment house, and as q result of
his Indignation, approximately 200
sleepy eyes were compelled to do
night work. The burglar, as he would
no doubt like to be called by his init
mate friends, had gained entrance to
the house and was getting along rath-
er fairly when he encountered a baby
carriage in the dark. The crash was
tremendous and was followdd by fur
Their creaking and grinding as the sim
pie criminal disentangled himself. He
probably got into the carriage in his
excitement, for to the breathless listen
ers it seemed that he required an hour
to free himself of it. Finally, giving
off no end of steaming language, the
incompetent bandit fed down q front
fire escape and got away. He had
taken nothing Everybody in the house
up for the rest of the night,
believing that the burglar would be
mad enough to come back and take q
last kick at the carrlage.-New York

GaribaIdis for Freedom.

Where his study window looks out
on the yellow waters of the Tiber,
winding through the Rome for which
he fought so long and bravely, 1 lis
tened, one afternoon in late December,
to that fiery old warrior, Gen. Ricciot-
ii Garlbaldi, while he spoke of the war
and of Italy's part in it, Lewis Il. Free
man writes in Worlds Work. "All of
my boys are fighting" he had said,
"and my daughters and my wife are
nursing. Two of the boys are gone
killed in France-but the other FIVE
are with the Italian army. They are
all good fighters, 1 think; but one of
them-Peppino, the eldeat-is also an
able soldier. Or at least he ought to
be, for he has been trained in the
'Garibaldi' school. There hasn't been
war (save that between Russia and
Japan or revolution in any part Of
the world in the last twenty years in
which he hasn't drawn a sword, car
rled rifle or swung machete."

Your Best raIents Hidden.

Usually those who are well satisfied
with themselves are poorly fitted for
the job. 1t may be something to meas
ure yourself by the other fellow, it's
infinitely more to measure yourself by
what you are capable of becoming.
Measure yourself by your possibilities
and you will find much to be desired.
There are hidden reservoirs Of power
waiting only an outlet. Begin to i'm
prove them and you will find new I'M
pulses to challenge you. The richest
jewels lie hidden in the earth. Your
best talents are often invisible, they
can be brought forth only by the call
OF great occasion. Start something
in your life and see what will come
out of it.-Grit

SOUND To CONTROL MACHINE
Remarkable Invention Demonstrated
in London Is Based Upon the
.... Principle of Resonance.

The distant control of mechanical
operations by sound, as demonstrated
in London, depends upon the principle
of resonance, or the setting up of re-
enforcing sympathetic vibrations by
sending out the note for which the ap-
paratus is tuned.
The resonatOr consists of a tele-
phone transmitter and receiver, placed
near together face to face in closed
cylindrical casing, with a tube contain
ing piston extending at the back of
the receiver. The piston lengthens or
shOrtens the column of air behind the
receiver, and thus changes the vibra-
ton note of the transmitter and re-
ceiver diaphragms. The transmitter
Is connected to the primary current of
an induction coil, with switch battery,
resistance, and an ordinary post office
relay in circuit; the receiver Is cou-
pied to the secondary circuit. When
the proper note vlbrates the d.
aphragms, the armature Of the relay
is moved, closing the local circuit, and
this can be adapted for starting and
stopping an engine, releasing bombs,
or other purposes.
For controlling dirigible, the
sounds might be sent from the ground
by a siren, the note Of which would be
adjusted by varying the speed. Diff
ferent notes could be made to perform
different requirements; and In guiding
an airship. turning the rudder to the
right, to the left, elevating, depressing
speeding up the engine, and slowing 1t
down would each have its special note.
To avoid discovery of the means OF
performing any operation, the appar-
atus could be designed to respond af-
ter definite number of repetltions OF
the right note. or only after a combi-
nation of different notes.

which will purge the Swedish government
and the Stockholm foreign Office of the
stigma of knowingly having been Ger

lean officials would like to believe that
Sweden officially disturbances any
such encroa chments on her neutrality;
that the guilt was personal to some par
ticular officials or possibly Swedens lega-
ton was imposed upon by Luxburg and
supposed that at the worst 1t was lend
ing the inviolability Of its diplomatic
privileges to an attempt to preserve peace
rather than that Argentine ships and men

They also entertain the possibility that
1.uxbu-g with a diplomacy Of which the
world has learned more since German Sc
crets began to leak out, may have told
the Swedish legation one thing and writ

Sweden Must Oisavow
Whatever becomes the accepted expla-
ration officials ana diplomats here are
unanimous in their belief that Sweden
must diaavow any participation or re-
sponsihilty and take appropriate steps to
show her good faith.
This may be difficult because of the
internal situation in Sweden, where the
upper circles are admittedly pro-German;
because OF the fact that Sweden, militaf-
ly weak nation, lies at the mercy OF
Germany at her borders, and also because
Sweden may wish to adopt one course
while Germany may wish her to take an
other. 1t is thoroughly unNstood that
in Stockholm the Pro-GerH.-ny classes are
