FOR THE LITTLE ONES.

•4m i i ■ ■— - Tan Pigs Who by Their Clayar Tricks Display Great Intelligence. Stupidity, obstinacy and selfishness are held to be summed up in the phrases “pig” and “pigheaded.” /It is very unjust to the pigs themselves, because there are some very clever porkers in the world. A certain animal trainer, for example, has ten of the most intelligent pigs in the world. They perform a variety of tricks. Formed into two companies, dressed as soldiers, they give a sham fight. One side occupies a fort which is attacked by the other. A cannon is fired, the besiegers charge, capture the fort, haul down the enemy’s flag and run up their own. And not only this; every pig has a special performance. One sits in a rocking chair, another dances on a tight rope, a third walks on a rolling barrel, while a fourth kneels down at the word of command. Two of the pigs run in harness, drawing a cart in which their master sits. He even drives this strange team through the streets.—Chums. Btlck In His Leg. There was at a summer resort a party of friends, among whom was little Joe. One day as they were going up from the beach to the boarding house Joe saw for the first time a man with a wooden leg, and he stopped still and watched the man out of Bight notwithstanding the repeated calls from the rest of the party for him to “come on.” When he arrived at the hotel, he took his small brother aside and said to him: “Do you know you’ve got a stick inside your leg ?” On being assured that his little brother did not know it he said impressively, “Well, you have, and I saw a man on the beach today with the meat all worn off the wooden stick.”

Leadership.

Is a young man ambitions to be a leader by and by? . He must be a leader now. He must possess the spirit of leadership and put it into Eractice in every walk in life. Does e aspire to be a great thinker ? He must be a thinker now and not thoughtless, careless or indifferent. He must feel the throbbing of his future greatness in his youth. He must cherish it. It must grow with his growth. It must be assimilated into his very being.—Delos Fall, Superintendent of Public Instruction For Michigan.

CONDENSED STORIES.

The Tatuman Hadn’t Any Prsjudlos Against tha Nagr* But— A negro, a hog and ihe unlawful manner in which tha former sometimes obtains possession of the latter furnish southern members of congress with an apparently exhaustless theme of anecdotes. Here is one that Representative Burgess of Texas has been telling, says tbs Washington Post: la Gonzales, where Mr. Burgess lives, a colored citizen was haled into court on the charge of having appropriated his neighbor’s porker without just compensation or due process of law. A jury was being impaneled, and the defendant’s counsel was fighting hard to assure his client a fair and impartial trial. Each talesman Was subjected to an ordeal of searching questions. Upon one, a local merchant, the lawyer had been especially severe. “Are you sure, the man of the law finally asked, “that you have no prejudice against negroes in general; that you will give the testimony of a negro equal weight with that of a white man ?” “Oh, I haven’t the slightest prejudice in the world,’’ answered the prospective juroif “but I suppose it would be just as well for me to tell you that if I’m on this jury your client had better be able to prove an alibi—for the hog.”

Father of Stories About Doctors.

Dr. W. W. Keen of Philadelphia has the hobby of collecting anecdotes of physicians. These anecJdotes he preserves in scrapbooks and in costly extra illustrated volumes, and sometimes he reads selections from them at medical festivals. “The most common medical anecdotes,” Baid Dr. Keen recently, “suggest that the physician is a murderer. All such stories are as old as the hills in their fundamental idea, though your modem writer puts them in new clothes. And they look ghastly in their new clothes—as ghastly as though you should array a corpse in fancy dress. “A lawyer and a doctor were conversing. The doctor said, TTonr profession doesn’t make men angels, sir.’ The lawyer answered, ‘No; it is yours which does that.* “This anecdote, which is 2,000 years old,” said Dr. Keen, “is reputed to be the parent of all the myriad of medical anecdotes that now exist.”

Not Usually 8o Fatal. A man from Pittsburg was introBuced to Representative Littlefield of Maine one day during the late confirresSs “I spoke in Pittsburg last fall,” said Littlefield. “Yes,” said the Pittsburg man, “I ran for office there, and I was beaten by only 7,000.” “Heavens!” said Littlefield. “I am not usually so fatal as that. I Soke out in Omaha in 1900 for Dave ercer, and they didn’t beat him until 1902.”—New York World. Why He Was Running. General James Grant Wilson tells this story as one of General Grant’s favorites, says 'the Philadelphia “It was at the battle of Shiloh. There was in the ranks a tall, finely built volunteer from Ohio. It was the first time he had seen active

“BBC A US* I CAH'T BUT I" service. When he heard the roar of shells and saw his comrades falling, he lost courage, dropped his gun and started for the rear. “‘Here!’ thundered the general in command. ‘What are you running for?* “The man turned his head and shouted back, ‘Because I can’t fly, you darned fool!’ ”

CONDENSED STORIES.

They Wanted to Baa a Bigger Man Than the President. Representative Fitzgerald of New iTork had the pleasure of escorting a bride and bridegroom—“two constituents of mine,” as he designated them —about the city the other day. They had come to Washington on • wedding trip from Brooklyn and were desirous of seeing all the sights. After the rounds had been made Mr. Fitzgerald threw oat his chest with some pride that he could make such an offer and then remarked with careless recklessness, “If you would like to see the president of the United States, I will take you to the White House and introduce you.” Not the slightest interest was awakened by this offer. The bride looked at the bridegroom with a quizzical expression of indifference, and the bridegroom waved the offer aside with a doubtful shake of his head. “We don’t know who the president is,” he declared in the broken English of a Norseman, “but we would much like to see Senator Knute Nelson. He, we know, is the biggest man in the government.” Mr. Fitzgerald lost no time in calling Senator Nelson into the marble room, and there the bride and bridegroom were completely happy talking their native tongue with the statesman from the northwest.— Washington Cor. New York Tribune.

He Knew It AIL The yellow cars run by the statue of Albert Pike, the father of Scottish Rite Masonry, author and poet, that stands at the junction 01 Indiana avenue and D street. Pike wore long, flowing hair that is faithH/ r I “WHT, HE FIT THE BUFFALOES." fully reproduced in the bronze. A party of tourists under the charge of a man who knew it all came by. “There,” said the guide, “stands the 6tatue of William F. Cody—good old BufEalo Bill.” “What did he do that he deserves a statue ?” asked a young woman in the party. “Do!” repeated the guide, with fine scorn. “Why, he fit the buffaloes.”—Washington Cor. New York World.

True Blue. Bishop Vincent of the Methodist church and one of the founders of the Chautauqua circle tells of an incident that helped to make interesting the summer he spent in the mountains of Tennessee. StTolling thoughtfully along one day, he suddenly found himself in the midst of a very active” camp meeting of negroes. Two or three ministers present recognized him, introduced him to others, and soon the bishop found himself so popular that he was fairly dragged to the speakers’ platform and asked to say something to the assemblage. He consented, and one of the blacks stepped forward to introduce the unexpected visitor. This master of ceremonies went right to the point. Hq/bade the gathering know that thgy were all of one purpose and spirit notwithstanding the difference in complexion and wonnd np as follows: “Now, brethren and sisters, Brother Vincent, as yo’ can see for yo’selves, is white of face, but at heart, let we tell yo’—at heart, I say—he is as black as any of ns.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.

A Boy’s Ambition. Dr. William Byron Forbush, pastor of the Winthrop church, Boston, told a little story to illustrate the nature of a boy’s ambitions at the •congress about boys,” which recently met. He said a gentleman in Springfield, Mass., met a boy walk-' mg on the shores Qf Massasoit lake. He was such a bright, manly little fellow that the man could not forbear stopping to talk with him. After some conversation he asked him how old he was. The little chap appeared confused, hesitated and finally replied: "Well, I ain’t but twelve, but my pants is marked sixteen.**

About Patti. Before Mme. Patti took out letters of naturalization as a British subject it might have been somewhat puzzling to state which nation could claim the honor of her nationality. She was born in Madrid, her father was a native of Catania, in Sicily, and her mother a native of Rome. She was brought up by an American stepfather in the united States, married two French husbands before she settled down in Wales and is now the wife of a Swedish nobleman.
