vicious and fearless member of the brute creation Is the peccary or wild hog of Mexico This animal Beenis utterly devoid of fear nnd displays an Intelligence In fighting man strangely at variance with its ap parently complete lack of mental at tributes Their ability to scent man Is particu larly marked The only thing to do when they get after you is to run away from them as fust as a horse can carry you und then there Is no certainty that they wont catch you They are nearly as swift as a horse and their endurance Is as great as their vlclousness A friend of mine encountered a drove of them In u wild part of Mexico a few years ago and his escape was almost miraculous He very foolishly shot and Avounded a number of them Then he took refuge In a tree The peccaries kept him In the tree all that day and through the night They circled round the tree grunting and squealing their delight at the prospect of a feast lie soon exhausted his am munition and brought down a peccary at each fire but this had no terrors for the beasts Toward morning they began to eat those he had killed after which they formed in line and trotted off If they had not had some of their own number to devour they would have guarded that tree until my friend through sheer exhaustion dropped from his perch and allowed them to make a meal of him The wildcats and tigers that infest the Mexican wilds flee from the pec caries with instinctive fear and even rattlesnakes keep out of their path LOVES TEST Where Her Great Help Was Needed Her Heart Was Willing Professor said the fair co ed after a pause let me ask you if you ever use the phrase different than Never exclaimed the young pro fessor of rhetoric and English litera ture It exasperates me Miss Pinkie whenever I see It in print I am glad we have something in common she rejoined Neverthe less Professor de Purey I cannot be your wife Mr Koopong asked the young wo man with downcast eyes now that I happen to think of it do you ever use the phrase different than I certainly do not said the enam ored capitalist It is not only incor rect but utterly absurd I am glad to hear you say so Still Mr Koopong it is useless to urge me I never can be anything more to you than a friend Let me ask you one question Mr Pnoodles she said Do you ever use the phrase different than Why er I presume I have used it carelessly sometimes Miss P Pinkle stammered the embarrassed youth But now that you have called my at tention to it I shall be careful to say different from hereafter Claude she exclaimed clasping her hands ecstatically and gazing at him with soulful eyes my answer Is yes yes You poor dear boy you need a helpmate and Ill be the helpmate Chicago Tribune Mental Medicine A somewhat eccentric physician who recently died would order patients to take walks say daily on the left side of the street returning by the other side another he would order to arise each morning at a certain hour and eat cheese with ginger beer another to take supper precisely at midnight and eat only apples or he would Instruct the patient to put just so many grains of salt on the egg he was to eat and part his hair in a different way each day His object was to get the mind of the patient on something else than symptoms and this scheme worked well In many cases especially when the patient was suffering from melan cholia New York Times Muskrat

lJLMr7MT7anN 3frr 1riTiiiTn Wit said Humor of PRIVATE JOHN ALLEN WEFm 1 A1 FTER sixteen 3ears of serv ice during which time he en joyed the reputation of being the wit of the national house of representatives Private John M Allen of Tupelo Miss voluntarily retired to the more lucrative If less conspicuous vocation of the law The memory of his stories and humor still survives in the national capital where few men have been more popular The story of the way Allen got his title of Private is still worth telling though the incident happened over twenty years ago It was when ho first ran for congress His opponent was a General Tucker and the two campaigned together The general at one meeting told the crowd how he had saved their town during the war and grew particularly eloquent In describ ing his sleeping in a tent the night be fore the battle Allen who was not within a hundred miles of that battle rejoined in his inimitable manner Friends and Fellow Citizens Its all true what General Tucker told you about his sleeping in his tent that night before the battle I know all about it for I was guarding that tent all night long in the cold and wet on picket And now I just want to say to all of you who were gen erals in the war and slept at nights in your guarded tents like General Tucker you vote for him But all you fellows that guarded tho generals tents in tho wet and cold like me you vote for Pri vate Allen That speech gained Allen his sobri quet and his election at one and the same time One of Mr Allens most famous speeches in congress was delivered in the summer of 189G when Speaker Reed and Major McKinley were both candidates for the Republican presi dential nomination and as a conse quence were saying little on public questions Allen began by stating that there had been considerable comment in the newspapers respecting the somewhat unusual silence which had character ized him in this session But Mr Speaker he continued there has been little In this session of congress to inspire a Christian man to be lo quacious I am not the only one who has been silent in these days There are many of us leaders who are not talking much lately Mr Allen said the Republicans were evidently going to select for their can didate a man who had the qualities for which the colonel of a cavalry regi ment selected animals for his troops He must turn quick and go fast On a later occasion Allen had diffi culty In securing recognition When he finally got the floor he said in a deeply injured tone There is an evident disposition on the nart of somebody to suppress my impassioned oratory I wish to assure the speaker and the house that it Is not my purpose and I have no desire by mv fervid and persuasive eloquence to overpersuade this house into fhe adop tion of any unconstitutional or hurtful measure Sir I would scorn to take any such advantage of the weakness of the house One of the most amusing speeches Private Allen ever made in the house was In support of the bill to tax oleo margarine Representative Tillman of South Carolina brother of Senator Ben Tillman had claimed that oleo is su perior to many brands of butter and that it was an injustice to the poor man to prevent his buying it In re ply Allen told a story of an old negro who had eaten a box of axle grease thinking it cheese Upon being asked how he liked it the old man replied Fo God boss dat was de ransom est cheese I eber has eat yet Now Mr Chairman commented Allen I have no doubt that if a prop osition were pending here to prevent the sale of axle grease for cheese the gentleman from South Carolina would deliver us a scientific lecture and try to persuade us it was much better and more wholesome than cheese and that it would be a great outrage on the la boring man to suppress the fraud At a banquet given by a millionaire senator one evening Allen hesitated as he was entering the magnificent din ing room and then remarked to his partner My dear young lady let us pause a moment or two I doubt if I can re strain my feelings There seemed to be trouble on his face and the lady said Why Mr Allen what is tho matter with you I am sad was his reply For what reason Oh it makes me sad to look at this room It reminds jne so much of my own dining room at Tupelo Those who knew poor Allens finan cial circumstances could appreciate the point of his joke When showing one of his Mississippi constituents about the house the de lighted countryman asked Who is the leader of this house Oh said Allen modestly you will find out when they call the roll The first man on the list 1b the leader of the house They are just now getting ready for a call The Mississipplan pricked up his ears and listened A moment later th clerk bawled out at the head of the list John M AHenr NOTICE
