H.1HI no Thought lie Was Getting tho Hottr of the Tin reddlor, but He Didn't. You know how a pig is on tho farm unless confined to a pen alwny3 wanting to rrot Bomowhoro elco. One day ono of our pigs got into tho stable and was kicked by a horee; ono oyo was put out and bis jaw broken, and though he got well his jaw was turned to tho right and his snout mashed flat. It would set ono laugh ing just to look at him. Ho had only fairly recovered from this adventure when ho got caught in a rail fonco nnd twisted his spino until ho was bent almost double. When ho got out of bed again ho was tho oddest looking pig in four states. When ho walked ho had to go broadside on, and ho nover Imow which pair of loirs was in front or which behind. Ono day a tin ped dler happened to como along and no ticed tho animal and quietly asked tho "old man" how much ho'd tako for that pig. "Wall," replied father, winking at Tom and 1, "hogs is up, you know." "Yes, I know that pork has ad vanced." "Guess that pig ought to bring three dollars." "I'll givo you two." "He's woi"th a dollar moi'o, but bein it's you I'll take it," said father. For tho next two weeks wo crack ed a good many jokes at that tin peddler's oxponso, as father would havo given tho pig to anybody for the asking. About a month after tho salo Fourth of July came around and we all went to town-r-sb: of us. Among tho attractions was a sido show, and its chief sign was a paint ing of a curious sort of animal, and underneath tho informatien: i TUB ONLY HODAQ i : ever exhibited In America, l'ronouncod '. : by unturallbts to be the greatest wonder : : ou tho face of tho earth. Tho only one : ; known to bo In existence. : : DON'T MISS THK HODAOl : : If you do you will regret It as Ions as : : you five. Ho Is to bo sent to England : I noxt week. : Father put on his spectacles and read that sign twico over, and then. turned to mother and said: "Guess we'd bettor go in. I'vo seen skunks and lions and possums and hyenas by tho cartload, but I novor saw a hodag." "There's Bix of us, and that's $1.50," replied mother. "Oh, wall, it won't bust us. If our nayburs seo tho consarnod thing and wo don't, they'll bo crowin about it fur a year. I guess we'll tako in tho hodag. It'll bo sumthin fur tho chil dren to ponder over." Father yielded up 1.50 and in wo wont. The cage was at tho opposite ond of tho tont, and as wo went in a lecturer was saying: "Ladies and gentlemen, wo havo tho assuranco of no less than five well known naturalists that this is tho only living specimen of tho ho dag now in existence. Ho was cap tured in a hyena trap in South Af rica and was brought ovor hero at a cost of $3, 000. Como and gazo on this wonder of tho Nineteenth century." Wo crowded up to gazo. Noxt minuto tho four children of us woro laughing fit to split, whilo mother Was so ovorcomo Bho had to sit down. "What in creation has struck you folks?" domandod father, as ho wiped off his glasses. Wo laughed all tho hardor, and ho adjustod his glasses in a solemn man ner, and turned to inspect tho great est living curiosity. Ono look was enough. His jaw foil, tho color fled from hi3 face, and ho mado for tho door with tho five of us following. Not a word was said until wo wero clear of tho tont. Then fathor stopped and looked at each ono of our grinning faces in rotation and exclaimed: "Dod rot my shoes if that ain'ttlio crippled hog wo sold to tho tin ped dler, but I want to 6ay to you right hero and now that if any ono of you ovor Bays 'hodag' in my hearin I'll turn you outdoors without a second shirt to your backl" -Now York Herald. A Cowboy Story. Said ono of Buffalo Bill's cowbeys: "I bought a pony in a hurry, and jumped on his back, and ho turned out to bo a buckor. Why, ho kept on bucking for threo wholo days and nights." "But how then did you got your meals?" inquired tho listener. "Oh," said tho cowboy, "that was easy enough. Tho boys kept shying biscuits at mo, and I caught thorn on tho fly." "Yes, but how did you got any thing to drink, my lad?" "Well," ropllod tho cowboy, "tho fact was wo had tho good luck to bo close to a littlo brook, and every timo tho horse bucked I sepoped up a lit tlo water in my hand and drank it that way. Seo?"

Sandy Macgregor was a shrewd, pawky chiel, fond of h joke, and it was a difficult matter to catch him napping. Ono day several of tho villagers had assomblcd in tho local inn to dis cuss tho alarming influenza compli cations. An Englishman named Rob bins, who ran down all cures for it, had decidedly tho worst of tho argu ment with Sandy, and thoreforo re solved to touch Sandy on his tendor point, namely, tho pocket, "Sandy," said Bobbins, "if you woro to go outsido and stick a blado of your knifo in anything I'll bot you flvo Bhillings I'll toll you what it is Bticldng in whon you como back." . "A bot, bo it," said Sandy. "I wagor ye canna dao ony sic thing, sao tablo your money." "All right," said Robbins, as ho deposited his stake with a compan ion and gave a sly wink at tho com pany. Sandy wont out and in a short timo returned. "Weol, neighbor, an what is it stickin in?" he asked. "In tho handlo," exclaimed Rob bins, triumphantly, as ho hold out his hand for tho stakes. "Man, yo'ro ralo smert," cried Sandy. "1 wonder if that is ono o' yor London tricks. But baud a wej, yo'ro wrang there," and ho hold up tho handle of tho knifo minus tho blado. "K yo gang oot yool And the blado stickin in an auld ash treo." Sandy of course won tho wagor, and it was a sight to seo the chagrin depicted on Robbins' countenance. That was his last bot with Sandy. Spare Moments. When Kissing Was Unknown. Wo boliovo that kissing is an Eng lish custom. Wo road in ancient his tory of a knight who visited tho Field of tho Cloth of Gold, and who, on boing invited to a local castlo, was addressed by tho "kyndo ladyo" of tho establishment, who remarked: "Forasmuch as inEuglandye hayo such a customo as that a man may kysso a woman, thoroforo I will that yo shall kysso mo, and yo shall also kysso theso my maidens." "Which thing," adds tho old his torian, "yo knyghto straightway did, and rojoyced groatoly thereat." What people did before kissing was discovered wo really cannot tell you, nor havo wo any notion of how tho engaged couples of tho Middlo Agos amused themselves whon kissingwas hardly known. Wo havo no doubt, however, that Jack and Jill of tho Thirteenth cen tury did pretty much as their de scendants in theso days, and that tho solitary walk, tho Bquoezing of tho hand, tho kicking of tho littlo boot mdor tho tablo, tho prolonged and cold-inducing good nights, etc., woro general then as now. Boston Globe. Ancient Ideas of Africa. In mediiBval times Africa was an unknown continent, as well as Asia. Until a fow years after tho discovory of Columbus no ono had sailed around it, and it was quite generally thought, as it had previously been thought in regard to Asia, that tho African continent extended on and on indefinitely. It was Bupposod that far to tho south was tho zono of heat, in which no human being could livo. This was by no moans an unreasonable inforenco to tho an cients. Thoy know that tho farther they sailed to tho north tho colder it grow, and that in tho oxtromo north was a region of porpotual ico and snow. Thoy also know that tho farther thoy sailod to tho south tho warmer it grew, and what was moro natural than for them to supposo that, if thoy wont far enough in that direc tion, thoy would como upon landa that wero parched and baked, and upon Boas that boiled, whoro nothing could livo butBalainandors? Yankeo Blado. Modus of Speech. As Dr. Piorson traveled about tho southwest many years ago ho was an agent of tho Blblo Bocioty ho often put up for tho night at very humblo cabins, and commouly, bo foro tho family wont to bod, ho was invited to conduct family worship. Tho form of tho invitation was pecu liar and invariable Tho biblo and hymn book woro brought forward and laid upon tho tablo, and thon tho host turnod to tho preacher and Baid, "Will you tako tho books, sir?" At tablo ho was expected to ask a bloseiug, and horo, again, tho phrase ology employed was peculiar. Whon all woro seated tho man of tho house would Bay, "Will you make a begin ning, sir?" Thon all hoada were bowul, and tho blessing was in voked. Youth's Companion. SALEM MARKETS. Wheat 63Jo per bushel. Oats 3840o per bushel. " Potatoes 25c per bushel. Flour ?4.20 per bbl.
