PART ONE.

PART ONE.
An anomaly which often struck me
in the character of my friend, SheT-
lock Holmes, was that. although in
his methods Of thought he was the
neatest and most methodical of man
kind and although also he affected
a certain quiet primness of dress. he
was none the less in his personal
habits one of the most untidy men
that ever drove a fellow-lodger to
distraction. Not that | am in the
least conventional in that respect nv

myself virtuous airs. 7 have always
held too that pistol practice should

and when Holmes, in one of his queer

that neither the atmosphere nor the
appearance of our room was improved
by it.
Our chambers were always full OF
chemicals and criminal relics which

positions, and of turning up in the
butter dish, or in even less desirable
places. But his papers were my great
crux. He had a horror of destroying
documents, especially those which
were connected with his past cases,
and yet it was only once in every year
or two that he would muster energy
to docket and arrange them; for as
have mentioned somewhere in these
incoherent memoirs. the outbursts OF
passionate energy when he performed
the remarkable feats with which his
name is associated. were followed BY
reactions of lethargy during which he
would lie about with his violin and

Exposition at Chicago from Nov. 26 to

mittee which met in the county agents

Chester Whites; while D. W. Scott of
the Easthaven farm represented the
farm bureau
Weadick was only selected after the
whole membership of the pig club
had been under consideration, and aft
or discussion of a number of likely
candidates. They included, besides
Weadick and Ranck, Emerson Thurs
ton, Frank Strong, and Mary Martin of
Fauntain City; Lawrence Crawford
and Linville Wissler of Milton. Binville
Baker of Cambridge City, Mary Davis
of Centerville, and Leonard Duke of
Boston. All were close contestants for
the honor.
Pig Escaped First Day.
Edward Weadick raised his Duroc
pig under numerous difficulties. 1t es-
capped the first day and was lost for
while. Later it contracted a disease
which prevented it from gaining for
some time. Yet in spite of obstacles,
Weadick grew the pig out so that il

club, only 10 be prevented from show

they will be. All Indiana club mem
