SOLDIERS adopted" BY PIG
Odd Mascot That History Records as
Attaching Itself to Company of
Kentucky Volunteers.

There is in the history of the state
of Kentucky an odd incident in con-
nection' with the invasion Of Canada
by the Kentucky troops in 1872. A
company of volunteers, destined for
Selby's army, assembled at Harrods-
burg and formed a nucleus around
which the military recruits of the
country gathered on the march to the
Ohio.
On the outskirts Of the town named.
so the story runs, the company saw
two pigs fighting and delayed the
march to watch the combat. When the
march recommended it was observed
that the victorious pig was follow
ing the company; and when the men
encamped at night, the animal lay
down near at hand. OF course the SOL
diers fed their plump recruit. The next
day the pig followed them, and this it
did daily on the march to the river.

Asked for an Explanation.

trouble the sleuth found the Smalley
ranch. He at one asked for John,
William and Harrie. And 10 and be-
hold! up stepped three beautiful dark
haired young ladies, each with a mill
%lion-dollar smile which caused the Of
ficer to gasp, blink and then wipe off
his brow.
AS soon as the sheriff could recover
he asked for an explanation and
learned that Daddy Smalley was
some stubborn individual and years
ago had his heart set on having q
family of boys. He was so sure that
before his irst-born had arrived he
named it John. His. disappointment
was great when he was blessed with a
daughter, but he stood pat and vowed
the name John would stand. His sec.
ond child proved to be another girl,
but the father had already named it
William, and of course that name had
to stand for all time. When the third
babe was born "Daddy" was not quite
so sure, but he had the nerve left to
compromise and declared in advance
the name would be "Harrie'-and it
was another girl.
Not until the drafting for the army
came about did the old man weaken
and allow "John, William and Harrie"
to become regular girls by a change
of garb.
