of the heavens where iiiiikI Htarn

These remarkable blank Hpottt have
tx.M't u favorite theme of discussion
ii nd irKumtMit amoiiK nil nstronomers,
for, whatever the real Hhape or dis
tribution of that universe, may he, they
point to the almost certain Inference
that In n particular direction nt leant
there N nn actual limit to the number
of stars, and If there Im n limit In one
direction we hnve every rlht to "up
I)ho that inch Im the case In others,
nml that we hnve only to wait for
telescopeH strong enough to resolve
those parts which are still uiiresolva
Me to discover that n point enn be
reached when all the stars of tho uni
verse are unfolded to our ifiue.
ir, now, we admit Hint tho number
of visible stars Im limited, tho next
question to bo asked Im, What Is the
order or Hhape of their distribution?
Various nstronomers have bad various
theories about this matter. Herscbel
vnn Inclined to think that tho visible
universe was In tho Hhape of a disk,
though his views In this direct Ion were
considerably modified during tho lutcr
part of Ids life. Struve considered that
tho universe was In tho shape of a disk
of limited thickness, but Infinite length,
a theory which Is bard to support, as,
unless the ultimate extinction of light
In spaco Is believed In, that part of
tho heavens which lay toward tho
piano of the disk would necessarily
shlno wlih tho brightness of tho sun.
Proctor, though finding It Impossibly to
deflno any particular shapo for tho vis
ible universe, as a whole, was of the
opinion that tho brightest part of It
namely, the Milky AVny wna In tho
form ef a spiral. This latter theory,
however, lins ninny objections to con
tend with. Other astronomers havo
bad different theories on this question,
but nil, or nearly all, nppear to udmlt
au ultimate limit to the size of the visi
ble universe, or, In other words, believe
that tho galaxy of worlds which sur
round us form, In fact, but an Islet in
tho vast infinity of uco.
It would appear at tlrst sight that
any attempt to solve tho (pies t ion of
the existence of external galaxies nud
their distance was absolutely futile, yet
such Is not tho cuse. Tho result of cal
culation Is that the nearest external
universe Is so fur distant that light

It. IlOWhICIt hud been humble
and uliu und sweet and con
trite for live long days, and
Mrs ItowHcr was Ix-gliiiilug
to hope that the euro would be pcrma
iient. when a carneuter anneared In the
back yiinl after noon with a lond of
lumber and two workmen. Tho rook
was told to ask Mrs. llowser to please
step to the back door, and when she
nppeared the carpenter asked:
"Madam, where will you have the
plk'I'CU located?"
"Tin the wluit?" she gasped.
"The pigpen. I received Instructions
from Mr. Itowner bv telenhoue an hour
nuo to come mi here ami build one. I
suppose you want It against the bark
fence?"
"lie he telephoned you, did he?"
"lie did, and he said he didn't want
nuy delay i er It."
"Ami he's hitight a pig?"
lie probably lias or he wouldn't
want a pigpen."
Mr. r.owser had not dropped the
slIvhtcM hint of his Intentions around
the hoi i sc. lb' hail departed for the of
lice that morning as meek as a rabbit,
ami now all of n sudden he had broken
loose and fas telephoning to have a
pigpen rusiietl to completion. Mrs.
How ser's first Idea was to protest tr
the carpenter nml put her foot right
down, but she renllzed that be would
have thoughts nud do more or less
tnlklng. H!ie therefore jxtlnted out a
idnce for the pen and retired Into the
house.
lank Waa Aamlaaa.
"Is It a grizzly bear that ho Is going
to pen up here to to thirsting for nif
blood?" asked the rook In anxloun
tones.
"It's only a pig. I believe."
"And what do we want of a pig? Is
It a grunting, squealing pig of a pig

that's going to add to the harmony of
this household?"
"If Mr. llowser wants a pig be must
havo a pig," said Mrs. ISowser as sho
passed upstairs.
"Yes. nud If Mr. llowser wants a
bellow lug elephant bo must have one!"
muttered the csk to herself as she
began to wrestlo the pots and pans
about.
That plgien was planned, erected
and finished In two hours and when
It utotkl completed was good enough
for any pig that over walked on four
legs. Tho lust nail bad scarcely been
driven when a man enmo up tho alley
driving a pig before him. He bad a
long ropo attached to one of the ani
mal's bind feet, and be bud tho look of
a man not afraid of anything la the
bog line. Ho also sent word by tho
cook that bo wanted to see the mis
trehs of tho house, and when Mrs.
llowser appeared In the back yurd she
was asked:
"Khali I dump him right Into the pen,
inn'am?"
"Who Is tho pig for?"
"For Mr. llowser. I was In bis oflVoo
yesterday telling blm about my Wilt
shire pigs, and bo bought one to' be de
livered today. Ditl you over seo any
thing finer, ma'am V"
( liarart trial lea of Ilia IM.
It was a pig about n year old In fact,
lie bad arrived at that etngo of life
when bo might properly bo termed a
bog. Ho was long legged and long
bodied. Ills back came up to au edge,
and nil tho incut on blm would not
make a full dinner for one crow. lie
bud n cast In one eye, und bis mouth
was screwed around to tho left, and
be whs not altogether a lovely plcturo
to gazo upon. Mrs. Dowser started to
say so to the bog man, but she check
ed herself. lie bad worked Mr. Bowser
for a soft snap nud got bis money, and
why hurt his feelings by telling blm
that If be bad glued a few more hairs
on the pig's tall the animal would bave
passed iiny where for a hyena? The
pig wns squealing while coining up the
alley. lie sijuealed while entering the
yitru. He stood thernsud looked about
him i. r id hi e.ile I.
but does h? e.cun by that?"
(p. i rled Mrs. Howaer.

'It It a little (icrmnn bund that I'm

cook of Mrs. I'.owser, but the bitter
made no reply. Mj" couldn't think of
unwilling to say.
Miuciila Allrnt-t Attention.
Two It ui h later Mr. llowser dropped
ol'f tint car half a block from home.
I'e leil linns were lookiil;; and listen
In,',, There was a sound in the uir like
u li.nl boy M'.iwllig tlie teeth of u MUW
aci'ots Iron. The nearer he got tj
home the loiititr and more chilling the
sounds. At h" went up tlie front steps
his teeth were fairly on edge, mid be
i-u It) to Mrs. IS iwhi'i' ut tlio door;
"For heaven's sake, why haven't you
telepli med for a pollcema.i to d tp that
liol eV"
Hlie beckoned hi In to foll'iw her down
flie hall ami to a back window In the
silting room. She threw It up and
pointed to the plirpeti und said:
"Your pig Is there, and he has kept
this noise up for three long hours with
out n break."
"Oh, It's the pU, I'll? Well, why
didn't you feed him?"
"We have curried out everything we
could think of, but he won't even look
ut food. W hy on eurtb ditl you go and
buy a pig?"
"Come, now. my dear woman, don't
get excited. I w-hm offered ft Wiltshire
pig at n bargain. You know we have
(iiit buying li.'ii'-m ut the butcher shops.
If we have any for the winter we must
raise H for ourteheM."
She becLone I Iilin to come out and
look ut the pig. Their presence was
greeted with u fhrlller edge to the
hip'.eals, und the nulmnl began leaping
up and gnashing Its teeth.
Aaltual Waa Uaa.
"How many years do you think it
will take you to get bacon out of that?"
asked Mrs. Bowser. "He's like a plank,
with four wooden legs under blm."
"Hut that's the wny with all Wilt
shires, my dear. Tour weeks of food
and contentment will make a roily poly
pig out tif him. I want to kill blm
nltng about Thanksgiving time. I'll
make the sweetest, nicest bacon out of
Li 1 til you ever tasted. Think of sitting
ut our own table und eating bacon of
our own raising:"
"And think of those squeals lusting
night and day fur two months!" she
replied as she put her fingers In her
ears.
"Y e s. He wants sour milk."
Mr. How ser went to the dairy and got
sour milk. He went to the feed store
and got corn, lie went to tho grocery
und got meal. The pig would notice
none of them. He simply stood and
squealed and squealed. Interrupting
himself now and then in an effort to
spring high enough to bite Mr. Bow
ser. Seven or eight b ty gathered on
the alley fence. Four tnimps entered
by an alley gate and proffered advice.
A pollit'iiimi came along and observed
that what the pig was sighing for was
about 17.'ss whacks with a club.
The Bowsers went In to dinner.
They didn't have music by the band
ns they ate, but music from the pig.
An African savage would have found
sweet melody In those squeals. They
were as monotonous ns u deaf and
dumb boy pounding on the bottom of
n dNlipnn.
"Well, what are you going to do?"
nsked Mrs. Bowser nfter half an hour
of It.
Needed rettlnc.
"When we hnve finished dinner I
shall go out and scratch bis back with
n chip. It has Just occurred to me
thnt bo has been raised a pet and Is
squealing Itecause he misses the little
attentions ho is used to. The minute
be feels a chip raking along bis spine
be will lie ns quiet ns n lnmb. You
know I must hnve bncon for brenk
fost, Mrs. Bowser, and you know that
It must Ito crisp and"
The squeals from the back yard bad
becomo heartrending, and tho dinner
was left untouched. No sooner had
Mr. Bowser made his nppearauce at
tho back door thnu something ran
ngalnst him and sent him sprawling.
It wus that pig. Ho had Jumped tlie
pcii nt last and was taking a canter
around tho yard. Ills squeals had be
come shrieks, and there were more
than fifty spectators to applaud. Mr.
Bowser scrambled up and armed him
self with a clothes prop and headed
the procession. The pig circWd the
yard three times and then went out of
the alley gate with a farewell squeal,
to bo Been never, no, never, again.
The crowd gave three cheers, the boys
rushed la and tore the pen down and
escaped with the boards, and as twi
light settled down and the cricket
turned up Mr. Bowser entered tho
house and said to Mr. Bowser:
"Madam, this Is the dead line, and
you can drive mo no farther. Your
object was to assassinate me, and to
morrow morning we will telephone to
imr respectivo lawyers and have tlie
divorce settled once for all."
