The d:.ya of her life were numbered for tie hogkilling season wag fast ap p oaching. So she called unto her t ree pigs and to them she said: Drlng me material to build each 0 vcu a home before I die." Vnd the two foo"lsh pi;s said: "Ve don't want any home, wo want u roim the land at will and visit r jr nt jghbors. We mean to enjoy 1 re while wp niay. Our owner doe r i fce'ieve in this stocK inw dusi- i as that you are trying to thrust rpon u-i. snyway." The old hog shook her Ik ad sor row fully tnd ttirr.ed to fc"r third offspring, who 1 elcnged on the neighboring farm. 'Sor', sa'l sin', "Shi'4 I build you a home btfore I die so that you may be a better hog and wh.en your t!:ys are numbered as mine, you may go to your market with a proud smile that you have shown the world what a hog ought to be?" "Yes," said Sir Pig. My owner ' olieves In this stock law which my rbrothers ridicule He says that a good pig who stays at home and does not contaminate himself with tramp pigs will have his reward jnd that his owner shall be bless ed." So he brought the best mate rial that he could find nnd his mo ther built him a home and a fance about it. Then she went the way of all tiealthy hogs, and there was much sausage In the land for several dayr thereafter. And when she was dead the old wolf, Hog Cholera, came knocking at the threshold of the first tw pigs abiding place. He was escort ed by their friends the tramp hoga, and he scarcely waited to greet thrm before he had them and they were In the ageny of death. Then he passed on to Sir Pig. a handsom lad whose waistcoat fitted him so tightly that he had t0 carry himself with mucj, dignity to keep his very slde8 from splitting. The old wolf, Hog Cholera got off the old formula, "Little pig, little pig, let me In." But Sir Pig sarcely no ticed him at all. He was enjoying his comfortable quarters and he had had his big dose of serum from Dr. Owen,ahd he felt himself quite a bove such company as tramp hoga and old Hog Cholera. So be smiled his piggish smile and went on wax lng fat. Such a fine pl was he that he was allowed to live t0 a remarkably good old age for a pig, just to be an example to his kind. And when he passed over the slaughter bar to the market only praise was bestowed upon him until the last morsel cf hiff Porkshlp had been greedily devour ed. And this was something of the beginning of the roign of King Stock Law and the death of the old wolf, Hog Cholera. EVANGELIST TO LECTURE CP.
