The javellne of the southwest has few

It Is one of the few wild animals that does

pet Javellnes the other day, Dr. Wooten
snld:
Javellnes are endowed with much more
Intelligence than the average animal. They
are far superior to the ordinary hog In
that respect. They are cleanly, and when
raised as pets about the house they seem
to have a great affection for every mem
ber of the household. They are terrors to
strange people and animals, however, and

' nature and are net offensive around the

guest to dinner. The javellne was not
around when the stranger entered the
heuse. The meal was In progress when
the javellne came across the boots of the
visitor. Without any preliminary ceremony
the animal made an attack upon the feet
and legs of the stranger. The boots were
torn to pieces and the man severely In
jured by the tusks of the beast before It
could be driven off.
It Is the usual custom, on account of the
n vltilousness of the Javellnes, to knock out

Beth Moore lost twelve fine hunting dogs
at the hands of one of these Javellne
'"watch dogs" not long ago In a few min
utes. Mr. Moore had been out hunting
and bad all of his pack of dogs with him.
At noon be rode up to the ranch -house of
s man employed on the Richardson place
to get. something to eat. The house was
guarded by a javeline and the ' animal
would not let Mr. Moore enter the gate.
In a thoughtless moment Mr. Moore set his
dogs upon the animal. The fight that fol
lowed was the bloodiest affair he ever
witnessed. Mr. Moore says. The Javellne
'Welcomed the onslaught of the twelve
dogs. As fast as one of them got within
striking distance, the Javellne s tusk would

"There Is one peculiar thing about the
javellne. It will never turn tail and run.
When you attempt to drive It out of a lot
It backs out. I never saw one show a
symptom of cowardice.
The fact Is not generally .known that
the javeline has a musk sack. It Is a
small bag, situated upon Its back, Just
above Its hips. It Is filled at all times with
a powerful musk fluid which it Is able to
eject when It becomes enraged. The scent
of this musk Is almost overpowering. Tt
Is evidently Intended as a weapon of de
fense when pressed to close quarters by
some natural enemy. So far as I have
been able to learn, however, the Javellne

has no natural enemy In Its native coun
try. It la feared and respected by every
other kind of wild animal. It Is not un
likely that this musk sack Is for some
other Important purpose, the nature of
which I have not yet discovered. It Is
my opinion that the very fact that It pos
sesses this musk sack is sufficient to show
that It is an ' entirely distinct species of
animal from the ordinary domestlo hog.
This musk sack Is easily removed, and
most of the Javellnes are operated upon
when taken for the purpose of being domes
ticated. "The Javellne of southwest Texas Is of
the same color as the yellow sandy soil.
Javellnes weigh, when full grown, from
fifty to eighty pounds. They are taller In
rear. In this respect they resemblo the
wild boar. They ure distinguished from
the wild hogs of Arizona and New Mexico
by a band of gray hplr which extends
around their neck. The common wild hog
does not have this neckband."
The Javellnes In their wild state run In
droves of twenty to fifty. They always
travel In single file and seem to have, a
recognized 4eader. When feeding or bedded
for sleep or rest one of the Javellnes Is
always on guard. Whenever a drove of the
animals, Is about to cross an open space a
sentinel Is first sent out to take a view
of the situation. If everything is found
clear the signal Is given by the sentinel
and the whole drove trots across the clear
ing and re-enters the chaparral.
The flesh of the Javellne Is eaten by
Mexicans, but requires much cooking.
Lnrle Joe and His Cigars.
lT APPEARS to be only too true
that every rose has its thorn.
To put It another way, both Uncle
Joe Cannon and his cigar are
well known the country over, but
some benighted individuals still labor under
the delusion that a "dry"' smoke is the
only kind Indulged in by the gentleman
from Danville. A day or two ago, relates
the Washington Herald, Uncle Joe received
a package from a town In South Carolina
It should have come from his native state
of North Carolina, of course, but did not
which on investigation was found to con
tain a box of cigars.
"These cigars are not made to smoke,"
the sender of the gift wrote In effect, "and
therefore they ought to suit you exactly."
Notwithstanding his confiding nature. Uncle
Joe was a little suspicious. "This may be
a plot to remove me from the raoe for the
nomination," he mused as he eyed the
cigars with considerable longing. "I'll try
them on Uusbey," he said to himself glee
fully. "What's 1 secretary for, anyway?"
Forthwith the cigars were turned over to
Mr. Cannon's right-hand man with a re
quest that certain experiments be con
ducted. Mr. Busbey gingerly lighted one,
or tried to, and after an Ineffectual strug
gle discovered that. Indeed, the cigars were
"not made to smoke." As a matter of fact
they were so tightly rolled as to resemble
and Interesting, but the Ideas on which
they are based are almost Invariably sound.
Origin oTlleTlo, BUI."
Why do the Klks yell "Hello, Bill?"
It's this way. Back In 18M when there
was a schism In the organization the two
factions met In Atlantic City for a peace
parley. At the time William G. Myers of
this city, Philadelphia's only past grand
exalted ruler, was the grand esteemed lead
ing knight and one of the most popular men
In the order.
To get his advice and to greet him, hun
dreds of Elks congregated at the Atlantio
City station to meet Mr.' Myers. All ths
members were at high tension. When "Bill"
Myers stepped off the car Delegate Stack of
St. Paul, a big six-footer, shouted "Hello,
BUI!" and the crowd took up the salutation
with a hearty laugh, and from that day to
this "Hello, Bill!" is so universally used
among Klks that it has virtually become
official.
To the good natured feeling which had its
outward expression In Stack's greeting to
"Bill" Myers Is ascribed the reconciliation.
Secretary Taft aad His Obit vary.
When Secretary Taft became 111 on his
recent western trip he did not regard his
Indisposition as being at all as grave as did
some others. He even neglected to com
municate with his family and friends in
Washington. As a consequence, the prets
seemed to contain exactly the right kind
of words needed to impress the mules
properly. One day a strapping Irishman
became a member of the logging party,
and soon was made aware of the predica
ment of those who sought to got a day's
work out of the mules each twenty-four
hours. He thought he could help, and
they let him try. Getting behind one team
which was particularly exasperating, he
addressed to 11 a flow of language which
can be Indicated best by dashes, exclanna
tlon points, asterisks, and daggers. With
out a blow being struck, the mules set
tled down to their task and pullod as they
never pulled before. Thereupon the Scan
dinavians, Germans, and Italians all set
about to learn the language which, the
Irishman declared, was understood by
mules the world over, and young Nelson
is said to have become an accomplished
driver before he left the camp.

Senator Bacon's Mlafortan.
General regret is expressed, both by the
newspapers and publlo men, because of
Senator Bacon's loss of one-half of his
fortune in a Georgia bank failure. Like
practically all of the senators and repre
sentatives from the south, Mr. Bacon Is
not a very rich man, his total holdings be
fore the failure being estimated at about
7i.u00. As he was a stockholder in the
bank which tailed. It Is thought that his
was more serious than the news wires told,
and he directed that the obituary be writ

recalled that once he had the rare pleasure
of seeing his name with a brief history if
his Ufa, attached under a heading. "Promi
nent Men Who Have Died Iurlnr the
Year." in the year book of a Catholic in
stitution In the Philippine Inlands. He was
also referred to in the publication as "The

dence that the bank failure occurred only a
few days after tbe Georgia legislature had
re-elected him to Ms third term In the
senate. As a result of a change in the
legislature's meeting time, there was a
hiatus in the senator's term this year. His
second term expired March I last, so that
frjrn that time until the legislature acted
the other day, the place was without an
elected Incumbent, although Mr. Bacon had

Lord Salvesen, in a recent address at

frequently Indulged In levity when life was
at stake. On one occasion Sir Francis Ba

factor to save his lite. All uppuals failed,
and the culprit at length pleaded for mercy
on account of his kindred.
"Your name," said he, "is Bacon, and
my name is Hogg, and in all ages Hogg
and Bacon are ao nearly kindred that they
are not to be separated."
"Aye, but," replied the Judge, "you and I

A Look at Senator Knox.
As there Is a growing belief in political
circles, says the New York Times, that the
next president of the United States will
be Philander Chase Knox unless it is Wil
liam H. Taft, a public which has acquired
much information lately about Taft may
soon be desirous of obtaining a similar
amount about Knox. He likes to wear good
clothes, but hales "society." Knox likes
to Ash. He does not make a noise about
It, nor write nature books; he Just fishes.
He likes horses. After he got to be at-
say, tbe day when Knox was not a law
yer, you can't do it. Try to figure the
teething Knox, the Knox of measles, the
marble playing Knox, and still the reshade
of Blackatone will linger.
