Of the 67 varieties of death, that which is superinduced by the ax is as merciful as any in hog annals. Besides, it is comparatively inexpensive, : Will faced the hog and nerved himself for the task. It takes a degree of stoigism to look a pig you have known . a long time in the eye and strike it down. Before wandering farther into this tale it might be explained that the _ foregoing refers to the pig, and not to —his eye. . It will be noted that we pause to morsalize while the ax is suspended.

He stretched dis arms antil his shoulder sinews
