Every Little English
 Pig Has Owners Name

London, April 17.-Pigs in Eng land are to be tattooed for ident.f- cation purposes. Several inks al- ready have been tried out, but the idea has not as yet been perfected, therefore to stimulate further in- terest the scientific, research com mittee of the Large Black Pig so- ciety has offered a reward for a satisfied system of tattooing.
 The present system of ear notchcs or numbered ribbons for registra. ton of pigs is very unsatisfactory, says the society, which recently has been urging ink manufacturers to turn out a product which would make possible not only the tatt ooinc of black pigs, but Berkshire, or blonde pigs, as well as different kinds of cattle.

Spent Moderately for
 Funeral of Pres. Ebert

London. April II Press comments on the funeral cost of Germany's first president, Friedrich Ebert. which amounted to approximately $5O,000, have recalled the fact that England's most expensive funeral was that of the Duke of Wellington, which cost the nation s5O0,O00.
 According 10 the estimates in Lon don the expense of President Ebert's burial was very moderate compared with the cost of the obsequies for old Emperor William in 1888. when the city of Berlin spent $430,000 and the imperial treasury more than s550,- coo in addition. The funeral expen- scs of King Edward were about S200,000 and those of Queen Vic toria s175.OOp.

My Miriam A. Fcruson Governor of Texas)

am an old fashioned grand mother except when 1t comes to child health. believe in all the new-fangled methods of rearing boys and girls, insofar as they re- late to physical well-being.
 I believe, in the child's bill Of rights---that every child should have a fair chance to grow up healthy and happy.
 I believe that every home should be health center. wish 1t were possible for me as grandmother. governor of Texas to map out and enforce certain home laws. I would have a daily morning inspection of every child for evidence of acute disorders and for chronic conditions.
 would arrange for all children to so to the dentist every six months. for babies to have medical oxamina- ton at birth, two weeks, one month, three months, and every three months thereafter until two years of uSVt bhVh ythiiys VI VNVh VlAShVl ii unfavorable symptoms arise.
 There should be a check-up on theconditions of the mothers health with provision for medical consulta- tion annually and similar check up on tho fathers health.
 would have a check-up on the sanitary condition of the home, not ing sanitation and possibilities for sunlight.
 :. would check-up on the chil- dren's diet to see that each one. is getting the kind of food he needs for his particular age, and that he is learning to eat what he should and ie developing regular habits of srest, sleep and elimination.
 These are the rules which as gov ernor and grandmother I should like 10 sec carried out in Texas and in every state In the union.
 Why should we not make every home real health center by in- augurating them on National Child Health Day, May 1.

 Fact was, hls absences were caused by Imprisonment In British Jails. Five times he was convicted for fraud or theft.
 One was peculiarly mean case. lIe wrote verses commemorative of Britain's dead in tho war and he had them peddled in the .neighbor- hood of the great cenotaph in Whitehall that Britain raised to It's dead. It was given out that tho pro- ceeds would go to St. Dunstan's in- stitutlon for blinded soldiers. h. stead, Cooke pocketed the money.
 He made utter wreck of his life.
 He once scrubbed on the wall of the death house:
 Give me a girl that will put hcr arms around your neck and kiss you, that will run for your shoes and put them on your feet when you come in tired with wet boots, that will fetch your packet of cigarots and strike match to light them for you, that will do every thing sayo flirt with other fellows, and will pray beside you when you SO to bed"
 And the man who wrote this pious wish had good wife and brave son and couldn't keep them. And he married another good girl and couldn't keep her, either. Also he made lots of money honestly and couldn't keep 1t.
 Right after he left the German university he made over s20,O0O out of patented tire. The money flowed through his spondthrift fin gers. Then he invented a patented steel grip for bicycle tires and got sS0,0OO for it, plus $2.5OO year, That also went away.
 Each time he came out Of prison he managed to conceal his shame from his neighbors. When his af- fairs prospcred he appeared in fine clothes in swell west end restau- rants. When he was broke, he ped died his own verses from door to | door. In the last down of his ups 1 and downs he met John Selwyn Foster.
 The younger man came from a prosperous north of England fam fly. But he, too, had been a neer- 1 do-well. He had served term in jail for fraud and then came to London and lived the life of q young man about town when in ! funds and us a race horse tout when broke.
 l Foster came 10 live with Cooke in the death house. Here they drank and held high jinks. And | here they quarreed over a matter of money. Foster had a revisionary | interest in his fathers estate. He had signed a paper deeding over certain rights to Cooke. But the latter learned he had given a similar paper 10 somebody else,

They were sur rounded by death the relics of it In the shape of an old graveyard. the charnel-house reminders of 1t in old human bones carelessly thrown Into dusty boxes. And then they broke in the door, they stumbled right Into carnival of death. --
 Hnddled In dead, inert heap on the floor lay the poisoned body of John selwyn Foster. 2l.
 Half hanging in dirty cupboard was tho gas-asphyxiated body of Granville Cooke, 5S.
 And immediately all the ma chinery of Scotland Yard, Its best detectives, It's poison experts, its pathologists were set to work to learn whether:
 Cooke and Foster died accident ally.
 Cooke and Foster died by suicide pact.
 Cooke killed Foster and then committed suiside. ..
 And the deeper the police dug into the mystery the deeper 1t be- came.
 Take the scene. Years ago 1t was a graveyard attached to the old church of St, George the Martyr in Handel street, Kings Cross. The place was bought by Dr. Thomas Cooke, a brilliant anatomist, whose learning was so great that he was allowed to run the only private school of anatomy in Great Britain. Everything succeeded for Dr, Cooked. Ho built. college on part of the graveyard site. Near it he erected q four-room cottage. Stu dents focked to his lectures. He married a handsome French coun- toss. He had a son, Granville. who was good looking and clever. The boy was educated here and at Bonn university, Germany.
 One day Dr. Cooke dropped dead of heart failure while lecturing, His college was closed. The place was given over to the bats and the mice. And then Granville Cooke came to it and took possession. Sometimes he stayed away for
