tiy Pig didn't care cne way or an
other. He seemed to be interested
in nothing but food. There is no
doubt that he would have been will
ing to change his name a dozen
times a day for the slight bribe of a
drink of warm milk.
His mother sometimes said that
he had the biggest appetitev-as well
as the loudest grunt-of all her
seven children. And she was glad
he ate WELL because food was the
very thing that would make him
grow.
"You won't always be runty,
Grunty, if you eat a-plenty," Mrs.
Pig often told him. And then he
would grunt, as if to say, You
don't need to urge me. Just give
,.rile chancer
Grunty Pig soon learned that be-
J ing the smallest OF the family had
cne sad drawback. His brothers and
sisters Gall bigger than he) could
crowd him away from the feeding
trough. And they not only could
but they often did. Unless Grunty
reached the trough among the first,
there was never place lett where
he could squirm in. If he tried to
eat at one end of the trough he was
sure to be sfouldered away and go
hungry. ~
So whenever he did succeed in
Getting the first taste of a meal he
Sok pains to plant himself in the
exact middle of the trough. Then
there~would be three other young
sters on each side of him; all crowd
ing toward him. And though he
found it bit hard % breathe under
such a squeezing, at least he got his
share of the food. .
Poor Mrs Pig! Her children had
frightful manners. Though she
talked and talked to them about not
crowding. and about eating slowly,
and about eating noiselessly, the mo-
ment their food was poured into their
trough they forgot everything their
mother had said. ....s-
That is, all but Grunty Pig! If
he happened to be left out in the
cold, so to speak, and had to stand
and look on while his brothers and
sisters stuffed themselves, he couldn't
help remembering his mothers re-
marks about manners.
"It's awful to watch them" he
would gurgle. Il don't see how
they can be so boorish." He thought
there was no sadder sight than his
six brothers and sisters jostling one
another over their food, while he
couldn't find a place to push in
among them.

He was the smallest of seven chill
dren. At first his mother thought
she would call him "Runty." But
she soon changed her mind about
that, for she discovered that even if
he was the runt of the family, he
had the loudest grunt of all. So
the good lady made haste to slip a
G in front of the name "Runty."
"There!" she exclaimed, "Grunty"
is the name that you ought to be
proud OF. 1t calls attention to your
best point. And if you keep on
