A PIG'S SQUEAL ' It Played a Momentous Part In Ameri can History. The war between ibis country and 'England In 1S12 was caused by one 'vote, and, stranger still, tbe small margin came from a pig getting its bead stuck in a rail fence. It was a Rhode .Island fence at that, but built much like a Virginia worm fence. v They were having an election of members of the legislature in Rhode 'Island. One Federalist put off going to tbe election nod left himself just time enough to get there before the polls closed. Just as be got on bis - horse and started for town be heard a pig squeal, lie looked around and uw that tbe pig had Its head jammed . Into that old rail fence, ami anybody iwbo knows anything about bogs . know that the hogs would have eaten that pig up If it hadn't been rescued. The farmer stopped long enough to 'liberate the pig. and when be got to . tbe polls they were closed. He was I too late. The result was that a Democratic - member of the legislature was elected from that district by one vote, and be would not have been elected if that 1 Federal bad got there on time. In the legislature a Democratic United Btatcs senator was elected by one vote, and that Democratic legislator who i had been elected by one vote voted for him. In tbe United States senate they voted for tbe war of 1812 by one vote, t and that Rhode Island Democratic I senator who bad been elected because ( that pig was caught in tbe fence voted i for tbe .war of 1812. ropular Magazine. i i !

Miss Katherine Livingston Hamersley, once reported engaged to Vincent Astor, whoso brother, Louis Gordon Hamersley, eighteen years old, has been adjudged the sole heir to the $5,000,000 fortune of Louis C. Hamersley after a spectacular court battle stretching over a period of several years. Miss Hamersley and her brother live together in Brooklyn, N. Y. " HELPED BY HUMIDITY. Many Materials and Products Which ' Require Moist Air. There are many materials, operations and products which require special atmospheric conditions for advantageous or profitable maintenance. Principal among such operations is the manufacture of textiles, perhaps the largest single industry carried on in factories. In tbe favored climate of tbe Lancashire district of England tbe natural climate affords working conditions equaled in America only on occasional days In certain localities. Even in England, however, there are many days in which tbe atmosphere is too dry for the best work. Since textile fibers are increased In strength and elasticity by high humidity and moderately high temperature, breakages are less frequent under proper conditions, aud the output Is increased. But even before tbe fiber reaches the manufacturing plant atmospheric humidity plays an important part. Cotton loses weight as it dries out, but, more than that, tbe fibers bristle and appear shorter and of lower grade than when slightly moistened. Leather, feathers and many other porous -substances lose a considerable percentage of weight in drying out, so that tbe maintenance of average and uniform humidity in the storage rooms has a direct advantage to the owner in maintaining tbe value of his goods as they lie In the warehouse. Cigars and tobacco lose flavor in dry air and regain it to some extent, after loss, by storage in proper humidified rooms. Wooden furniture and "mnsical instruments are sometimes cracked or the finish injured by the dry air of steam heated rooms. All these and other similar goods are advantageously worked or stored in rooms In which tbe atmospheric humidity is artificially controlled and kept nt the most desirable point.

HE HAD HIS HAIR CUT. And It Took a Long, Long Tim to Find Out by Whom. One of the most elaborate and sustained practical jokes on record was that played on J. M. Langford commonly known as -Joe" some fifty years ago. According to the version given In the "Life of Sir William Russell," Langford was in the Garrick club In London when Albert Smith accosted him: "Hello. Joe! Who has cut your hair? Joe was in a dignified mood and resented the query. "1 really don't see." he replied. "now it can Interest you who cut my hair." Smith went downstairs and stood in the hall. The next miember who came up to the morning room sauntered up to Langford with; "I see you've been having your hair cut. Who did itr Joe very sternly replied, "I can't imagine why you ask me." Then he ordered a glass of sberry and bitters. The waiter brought it and gave a little start of surprise as be presented it with a "Beg pardon, sir! It's along of your 'air, sir; it looks unusual." Joe went to the glass and saw nothing remarkable, but as he was'considering his face Charles burst upon him with. "Where on earth did you get your hair cut, my dear Joe?" Joe could stand it no longer. He went off to bis chambers in Raymond's buildings. Gray's inn. Next day he saw an advertisement in the Times: "J. M. L. Say. who cut It? Was it your own hand or tbe deed of another? Confess ere it be too late." It was only the first of a series of similar announcements, and tbe Ingenuity of his tormentors devised continual surprises for him. On the day he went down to Chertsey races he saw tbe walls placarded with enormous posters, yellow and black: J. M. L. Once more, who cut it? You must speak!" A band of Ethiopian minstrels was furnished with a melody to sing outside Raymond's buildings to the air of "What Are the Wild Waves Saying?" then very popular. And the refrain was: What are de wild waves saying as dey lap de Waterloo stair? What are dera wUd waves saying? Dey say. Who cut Joe's hair? In despair, Langford went abroad, and when, at Chamonix. be climbed to the Cascade des Pelerins he found plastered In front of him a huge yellow poster bearing the words: "J..M. L. Confess, reveal, or be forever lost! Who cut it?" Joe's spirit was broken. He sat down and wrote a humble letter to Albert Smith: 'I yield. Spare me. My hair was cut In St. Martin's court at the barber's on tbe left hand side. His charge was threepence. I am quite beaten."

APE Oil A SPREE

WRECIiSJARROOM Monkey Develops Appetite for Liquor After Owner Lets It "Set 'Em Up." NEW YORK, Aug. 25. Alcoholism in an ape was responsible, it is averred, for the wrecking of bar fixtures, glasses and a luncheon counter in the saloon of Ike Hirschorn's hotel, . 19 Second avenue, and also for a big sign Ike has pasted over the entrance to his inn. The sign reads: Hereafter guests will not be permitted to take monkeys or other animals to their rooms," and Ike says, if necessary, he will have a professional wild beast trainer on hand to see it is enforced. The trouble began, says the hotel man, when John Hampton, a prosperous automobile dealer, solemnly escorted a large gray ape into the barroom on Saturday and remarked: "Dare Devil Spike wants to set 'em up for the house." Thereupon Dare Devil Spike did set 'em up, and in so doing became a candidate for an alcoholic ward. It was the monkey's first encounter with whisky, and the animal took to it, smiling as foolishly as Kipling's Banderlog smiled at Mowgll. There arose in Spike thereafter a craving for strong drink so insatiate that the ape haunted the saloon of Hirschorn's hotel at all hours. Ape Wrecks Bar. Nobody minded much, however, until the monkey drifted downstairs from its master's room before dawn yesterday and gave a good imitation of a Pittsburg millionaire on a spree of the Gopher gang visiting the establishment of an unfriendly saloonkeeper. As Hirschorn surveyed the wreckage of his bar he was heard to mutter something about monkeys being no use anyway except for organ grinders. Hampton, who is about 55 years old and has enough money to keep even a monkey supplied with liquor, visited South Africa a few months ago. When he returned he had an innocent look ing ape which he christened Dare Devil Spike. Having installed himself in a suite of rooms in Hirschorn's hotel, Hampton decided to leave his pet in a nearby livery stable. A few days ago, however, the stable proprietors informed him Dave Devil Spike was not suited to the peaceful atmosphere of their establishment. Thereupon Hampton took the creature to his own rooms. When Spike first, was introduced to the contents of a , whisky flask the ape's owner scarcely could, believe so sedate an animal could become a to per. Hence he permitted Spike to wander about the hotel, including the To strengthen the muscles and gather renewed energy, take Nyal's Nutri tive Hypophosphites it nourishes the body tissues and its continued use means a complete restoration to health.

barroom, at will. The monkey usually satisfied itself with two or, three, varieties of drinks a day. Yesterday morning, however, before the barroom was opened for the day the ape appeared to have a thirst of the sort which only seasoned drinkers are supposed to possess. Spike sneaked out of Hampton's room, slid down the banisters and deftly entered the barroom through an open transom. Opens Fire on Employes. When Carl Hassenfleck. Hirschorn's luncheon counter man, appeared on the scene shortly after 5 a. m. he found Spike in the state of exhiliration peculiar to some college students after winning a football game. Spike greeted Hassenfleck with a shrill cry of welcome, followed by a heavy tumbler, which missed the man's right ear only because Hassenfleck had learned to dodge in his youth. Jimmy Samponi, a porter, went to the hmchman s rescue, with the result that the two men passed an un

enviable time hiding behind the lunch eon counter in a storm of falling steins, bottles, plates, knives, forks, and other objects. Several of Spike's out-shoots, Hassenfleck said afterward, would win for him a place in a major league. Hampton was aroused from bed by employes nf the hotel who observed the excitement from afar. He entered the saloon, and Spike, delighted at fresh sport, took aim at him with the largest glass left standing. "O, nix on that!" Hampton exclaimed. "Come on! Ill buy you a regular drink!" The monkey instantly let a plate fall and leaped joyfully toward its master, who seized him tightly and transported him to his room to sleep off the effects of the spree. Hirschorn then took an inventory of his loss which he conservatively estimated at "more than $50." Hampton said if he couldn't make Spike pay he'd pay himself. ., The Marksman's Eye. .
