This 'S not so much. We know of a man near Columbia City who had ? dog that when a puppy rather than eat when fed at the house would run to the hog lot and take pot lunch with a litter of eight pigs every time they “took lunch.” It certainly was an unusual sight to see this puppy “hanging to” sandwiched in with the pigs as “lunch was being served” by mother pig. o Or Two Evils, Etc. The wife of a farmer had a tongue that cut like a knife. One day the minister passed the farmstead and noticed the farmer standing calmly in the midst of a heavy downpour of rain. “Why on earth don’t you- get indoors?” he queried. “Oh, sir, it’s ail richt,” replied the farmer; “I'm sheltering frae the storm. Man, I tell ye It’s naethlng outside tae wliat it is iniide.” O Fascination in Origins. The origins of everything tn the world, from man himself to slang words and ph: >s, from vast and perfect mechanisms to manners and customs, or great eras and economic cycles, always have held a special fascination. And there has always been some one, whether it be Darwin or the Encyclopedia Britannica, to ferret out ?ach firstling.—Homer Joseph Dodge. 0 Don’t Bo Afraid.
