M. c. CrandaH has received a
letter from Rev. Henry Harry,
Grass Lake, Michigan, formerly pas
tor of the Baraboo Congregational
church, in which he says the mem
bers of the family are all well and
that the writer is enjoying his
work. Among other things he
says: 81 find that this is a real
federation, and fits my conception
of a basis for work better than any
thing | have ever had. 1t is per.
fectly democratic, undogmatic, and
the people are enthusiastic about
it leach group is very, considerate
of the feelings of others and their
rights. 1t is fine to be in com
munity in which you feel you are
not tramping on the toes of others.
81 have made regular solitary
hiker of myself since I came here.
| think Bal aboo taught me the joy
of visiting folks in the country and
I have religiously put it into prac-
tice since | have been here. /

but have made up for it in this
way"
In conclusion Rev. Harris says
he enjoyed the fellowship of the

the midst of community vacation
Bible school, that he is the teacher
of the Mems Bible class, that he
never enjoyed ending his work like
he did in Baraboo and that Paul
CHS SOM now weighs 172 pounds.
He says his son has profound con-
fidence in Superintendent A. G.
the Kingsford's ability, and the
rest of the corps of teachers as
well. The minister asks to be re-
membered to all the congregation
and friends in Baraboo.

In the year 1906, writes a cores
pondent to the Youths Companion,
David Brownlee moved from Wash
ington County, Pennsylvania, to
Coitsville, Ohio, and brought with
him a sow and half a dozen pigs
some five or six months old. He
built a good stye, and although VOL
yes panthers, bears and other
wild beasts were plentiful then in
Ohio, the hogs seemed content, The
pigs would return to their stye at
evening and were regularly at their
troughs at feeding times.
One evening the porkers failed
to appear. For few days Mr..
Brownlee left no solicude for them;
he thought they had merely wond-
cred too far. But diligent search
failed to find them, and at last he
gave them up as lost.
During the late summer, Mr..
Brownlee went back to his old
home to harvest some wheat that
he had left growing. What was
his establishment to see on the old
farm not only the sow with the six
shotes, but also an addition of eight
or ten pigs to the family! After
gathering in his wheat he collect
ed his Dorkers and started back
to his new home. They were sat-
isfied with the change, and when
they reached the banks of the Ohio
they plunged in and, swimming to
the opposite shore, took the direct
road to Coitsville. Arriving at
their home, they ran directly to
their regular feeding place, ready
for their meal.
