a New Pig Came Along.


vice president (he's next to me), one
the treasurer and secretary, and one
the judge"
They all looked at Perky Pig with
their shouts hanging down quite sadly.
Each had hoped he would be presi-
dent.
Just then q new pig came along
He'd been in the pen only few days.
"Good afternoon, brothers and
friends" he said, bowling politely, and
twisting his tail as he laughed pleas
antly. "Hope you're all feeling well
this nice spring day"
''We're having q great deal of trOu-
ble," said Grandfather Porky. "NOw
I'm the Oldest and wisest pig in the
pen and I would like to be the presi-
dent, but it seems that every pig
wants to be president. Every single
pig has the same idca-tO be the lead
er-and all because / suggested it."
Before we gather any more pigs
around u.s." said the new pig whose
name was Sammy Sausage, "lets de-
eide on something. Now the farmer
sense. I have. Look at me! Pm
Sammy Sausage, the great pig. And
if you were really wise you'd all
choose me for president"
Dear me-" sQuealed Grandfather
Perky, "and still another pig wants to
take the lead
''Iisten," said Sammy Sausage. eve
don't want any of the other pigs to
hear or they'll all want to be presi-
dent. But we will all now decide to
each try to be president. Well get
the pigs to vote and the one who gets
the most votes will be president, the
one who comes in second with votes
will be vice president and SO on down
through the list"
GLOW will we get the pigs to vote
for us?" asked Grandfather POrky.
ooh, that's simple" said Sammy
Sausage, "all we do is to go around
and make speeches on stumps or mud
piles. We must say that every other
pig up for the job of being the leader
is absolutely no good at all, we must
say that if the pigs don't want the
pen to go to absolute destruction then
they must vote for US; that is each
pig for himself :"
Fine, fine" the pigs squealed. And
off they went telling Of their new
scheme and asking the pigs to vote
for them on the day soon coming up
on which all pigs would be expected
to make their choice.
But the poor pigs got mixed up, for
each pig called the other a dreadful
creature and said the most awful
things about each other, until all the
pigs were fighting and quarreling. 1t
was just then that Mrs. Pinky Pig
stepped in and said one day when all
the pigs were gathered around, Lets
all be the same, equal pigs and don't
let's fight about who is to lead" SO
they gave up voting and were once
more friendly anG happy.

A Discordant Note.

Life is made possible to us by the
sacrifices, of other people. The wheel
would soon come to standstill if there
were no unselfsh love In the world.
When we become SO self-centered that
we think only of ourselves and the
qualification of our own desires, our
lives are a discordant note in the har-
mOny of the universe. We must be low
ing and unselfsh to pay back the debt
we owe. Girls Companion.

ANTI-SALO0N LEAGUE MAN
SPOKE HERE LAST NIGHT

Mr.. E. F. Jones. state superintend-
ent for the Anti-Saloon League. ad-
dressed a large and enthusiastic audi
ence in the American theatre last
night.
The subject was The Kaiser's AL
lies in America" and from what he
said 1t is inferred that there are a
great number Of these who are un-
Willingly so.
Some of the salient points OF Mr..
Jones address follow: In 1917 the
submarine destroyed 100000 tons
less food than the breweries." THE
brewers claim that they use enough
grain to feed only 1880. 900 men each
year" 1T takes a pound Of coal to
make a pint of beer. The brewers
claim that they use only 1000. 900 tons
of coal a year" There are more than
a hundred men in one of our cities
who have verbally agreed not to drink
beer during the war purely as a
patriotic action. "-tAdverttsement

SAW DEVIL IN RED HAIR
But the Preacher Was Smashed and
Fined.

Rev. Frank L. Johnson. pastor Of @
Pentecostal church at Chico, Cal, saw
the red hair OF Walter Kemplery In his
congregation and mistook 1t for the
red challenge flag Of the devil.
Grasping a chair near the pulpit.
Rev. Johnson made q wild dash
through the crowded pews, crying as
he sped:
There's the devil within a red
haired man. The divine spirit tells me
to drive put the sin with forcei"
And leaping v er or brushing aside
all distractions, human and otherwise.
the pastor reached Kemplery. and by
means of the chair began converting
him to the ranks of the blessed.
But Kemplery took his turn at see
ing red about hat time and instead OF
the devil he made a flank movement
and sem an artillery blow into the
midst Of Rev. Mr.. Johnson's front-line
trench.
Furniture was pretty well banged up
and the rest Of the congregation were
worse than panIc-stricken when the
police arrived. Both Johnson and KEN
plery were arrested and taken before
Judge Barnes, who fined them $40
each.

BETTER BLIND THAN DEAF"
Scientific Writer Points Out Why the
Former Affiietlon 10 Less Hard
to Bear.

Scientists have shown that sound not
only informs the intellect. as does
sight. but that. much In excess OF that
sense. II excites feelings-that is.
sound pure and simple has a specific
relation to feelings widely different
from that of sight.
Its primary effect was the creating
OF moods, Margaret Baldwin writes In
the Atlantic magazine. This being so.
the simple fact is hat sound has far
more I do fundamentally with origin
ating our emotions. or how we feel from
day 10 day, than has what we see.
II should be said In passing. that
there is very little recognition OF this
fact by the person with normal hear
ing. Sight and sound are so inter
woven for him that he does not dis
criminate as to what belongs intrinsi-
eally to each In the province Of feel
ings. II Is only when the two are
clearly separated. as In deafness or
blindness. that experience takes note
OF what belongs to the one and the
other.
A scientific writer points our that we
can see with indifference the with
ines of a suffering animal that Is still.
but that, IL there are cries of pain. IL
produces emotions at once. We are
distressed. In reports OF terrible ma
rine disasters. 1t Is almost never said
by people that they can never forget
the sights they saw. but always that
they can never forget the cries OF the
drowning.
Although one would hardly hesitate
to say that the xces of the blind
mans calamity over that Of the deaf
man Is sufficient to overbalance this
elemental function Of sound to pro-
duce moods, yet the universal fact re-
mains that the blind are more cheerful
than the deaf.
