One hundred and elht porkers arrived In two P1 Pullmana and were let out and fed and watered, and re.hlpped on their way to Chlreso. Ia than thirty yeara later, namely, on February 13, 1912.

A bit of cal culation with tha well-known aclenca of artthmetlo ahowa ua that they would form a line of aheap thirty -al mllei long. If they were plaeed ats abreaat. and the head of each Una touching" tha tall of tha neat Una In front of them, they would reach from Sixteenth and Famam itreeta down Sixteenth atreet. out Vinton, down Twenty-fourth, through tha South Side and down to Albright and about a mile beyond. Then you oould take tha hoga that were reielved on that alngle day In 111. put them al ahreat and head to tali and they would reach over the eame route from Sixteenth and Famam atreet down abou Tweny-fourh and N atreeta.
