young reader of tacth of the pig that went to market ani the trouble the got in and go out of it 10 happened that old pp pi aid he wm tired of going to market at- the very time that mamma pig aaid ahe was tired o stopping at home s they chanced place and the fat oldman pig minded the home while madam went down town the fat pig we might as well call him that as he wa as big as any two of the otherf the fat pig i fay took a look around hi pea and pnt hi nose high ia the air and sniffed the weather i will have a quiet day he said to himself and then ho went over to the gate to see if he could stroll into the garden he got under the gate and made a big push and then it seemed as if the whole world fell on top of him bnt it was only the gate off its hinges and on to his back and after running around the grounds two or three times he shook it off in a bed of flowers i never knew a gafe to stick like that he said gates onght to keep to their posts better bo he sat and looked lazily at the gate for a quarter of an hour and then felt better i must see where the folks are he thought and so he made his way into the kitchen eating a couple of hot baked apples on the way to cool off be drank ont of a long bottle and it was soar and then out of a short one and it was hot hotter than tho apples this took his breath away and be stepped over into the diningroom and danced around till all the silver on the sideboard rattledagain there is no one in the whole house said he as he entered the next room a great big room with lots of pretty things in it just then however he taw he was mistaken for as he walked across the floor he saw a bie ugly pig coming straight to meet him he held np his note for war and the other pig did the same thats an ugly oubtomer said he and i dont know if i could thrash him he made a jump forward but the i n p did the same and they were within 1 an inoh of each other with glaring eyes and 1 brisliea like a olothes brush standing out on their backs the fat pig flapped his right ear and the ugly pig did just the same with his left our pig winked and the other winked and then they both walked away the funny part of it was when tho fat pig got over to the other side of the room he couldnt see a speok of the ugly one well i never said he if that doesnt beat all i shouldnt like to have had a square fight with that fellow he was the ugliest pieoe of hog i ever did lay eyes on tho fat pig thought he heard some one cominp- so he trotted gently over to the dcor and then gave ayell andajump for he rub bed up oloee against the ugly pig i tell you he didnt wait to come back but went into a room with a lot of boots and horns and clay dogs and wooden men tho oddest thing he saw was a little man with a pigs head this is too bad said he these people should do us pigs no wrong i have heard of a man turning into a hogshead he added with a chuckle and a man turning into a beast but this looks as if a beast were be coming a man however it may be the other way and i will see if there is any explanation so the fat pig found a sheet of paper under the figure and on it were printed these verses and three dogs six men and fourteen small bovt chased the fat pig around the square under a gate and over a wall until at last he got home and be sat down on the straw and declared be would never stop at home another day but would remain the pig that went to the market every inch a man she sat on the perch in the sunshine as i went down the street a woman whose hair was silver but whose face wasa blossom sweet making me think of a garden where in spite of the frost and snow of bleak november weather lite fragrant lilliea blow i beard a footstep behind me and the sound cf a merry laugh and i knew the heart it came from would be like a comforting staff in the time and the hour of trouble hopeful and brave and strong one of the hearts to lean on when we think all things go wrong i turned at the click of the gate- latch and met bis manly look a face like his gives me pleasure like the pare of a pleasant book it tcld of a steadfast purpose of a brave and darng will a face with a promise in it that god grant the years fulfil 1 he went up the pathway singing i saw the womans eyes grow bright with a wordless welcome as sunshine warms the skies bick again sweetheart mother he cried and ho bent to kicb the loving face that was lifted for what some mothers miss that boy will do to depend on i bold that this is true from lads in loe with their mothers our bravest heroes grew earths grandest hearts have been loving hearts

word dispelled all things in doubt his look it frowned down ohatter to any one who dared dissent he proved that didnt matter and every time the baby oriod got madder than a hatter he was so right he couldnt live for man to wrong is wedded and so he changed outright at last into a thing he dreaded altho his body kept its shape his head it got pigheaded i dont think that is fair to ua said the fat pig and he made a rush at tho thing and topped it and a lot of other things over on the floor and then made hia way out into a snug little room with a oomfortable looking sofa in it that said he looks softer thad my bed and after the the f stigues of morn iag i think i will take a rest so he laid himself snugly out and drew a tidy over bi back and put his nose in tho cushion and was half asleep in

things and sit down on the sofa unloosing her bonnet and sticking her shawl pin about two inches into the fat pig 0 ixokery dickery darel i dont know whioh fl w higher lots the air but the fit pig camo down first and the fat person next straight on top of the pigs back and in a doad faint they both rushed around that room five times then into the big room and the pig got an other sight of his old enemy the ugly pig this time with a witoh on her back with a broomstiok or nmbrolla or something like it in her hand some of thorn or all of them pigs and persona gave such a yell as would wako tho dead the fat pig came to what ho thought wan a high door with curtains around it and ho saw outsido the garden and lawn and liberty so she made one mighty effort and sprang for dear lifo leaving tho pat person inside the room and himself and forty thousand knives and razors and pieces of them oat- side to make things worse ho came plump against tho grocers boy with eggs and things and toppled bim over in a twinklinsr npsotting a btby carriage with one small baby five dolls two kites and a steam engine in it then the neighbours all camo out and the old fat person cried firo she pays her

she bribes me with her kishco then placts herself upon my knee and tastes of all my dishes i she comes off best in every trade and seldom ever misseo to catch me in the trap shes laid then pays me off with kisses she says she wants a dolly nice with long and golden tresres and if i ask her for tho price gives kisses and caresses i i dearly love this little maid above all other misses ill take back

forth a misers willingness to suf fer want that he may save something than this anecdote from the persian a merchant of ispahan who left at hi death a large sum of money was so great a niggard that for many year he denied him self and bis little son all food except a crust of coarse bread daily one day he wm tempted by a friend description of tbe flavor of a certain kind of cheeae to buy a small piece before be reached home he began reproaching him self for his extravagance his repentance was very thorough for instead of eating the cheese he pat it into a bottle and contented v himself with rubbing the crust of brerf against the bottle in this somewhat im aginative enjoyment of the cheese his son was allowed to share one day the miser on returning home later than nsual found his son eating hia crust and rubbing it against the door what are you about fool exclaimed the father it is dinnertime father answered the son you have the key and as i could not open the door i was rubbing my bread against it for i could not get at the bottle cannot you go without cheese one day you luxurious little rascal asked the irri tated father there take that you 11 never be rich and ho kicked the poor boy away from the door- why wasnt be a comet sonng mr staylato was sitting in the dimlylighted pirlor the other night watch ing a seventeen-year- old girl trying to keep awako long enough to see the morning star rise they talked astronomy i wish i was a star he said smiling at hi own poetic fancy i would rather you were a comet she said dreamily his heart beat tamultnoasly and why he asked tenderly at the same time taking her unresisting hands in his own and why he repeated im- perioly 0b she replied with a brooding earn estness that fell on his soul like a bare foot on a coldjoilcloth because then you would only come aronnd once in every 1500 years ho didnt say anything nntil he was half way to the front gate when he turned around and shook his fi at the house and muttered between his teeth by the gods itll be a thundering sight longor than that before i come around again but by that time the p or girl was in bed and fast asleep blaoking boots did it ever occur to you said a ohem- ist what a remarkable and unique pro cess th blacking of a boot is you see we smoar the boot with a preparation of bone- black which is entirely devoid of luster and then by the friction of a dry brush mako it shine libe the sun the key to tho mystery lies in the fact that dumtnd is nothing but crystallized carbon theblaok- ing is little lets than carbon paste and the friction of a hairbrush being one of the most ffi ient methods of generating elec tricity has the effoct of crystallizing the oarbon of the blacking as soon as this is done the boot is covered with millions of infinitely small diamonds and of course begias to shine as a mass of diamonds would tho bootblacks are engaged all day in turning blacking into diamonds spoke from experience fond mother
