Helps With the Lessons
At nijvlit when the children gather around

neighbor a mile down the road wants help from
his school-mates. ( hildren as well as grown-ups
get pleasure and profit from the farm telephone.

would have knocked a cow off ht'f, .
hut which merely started the squealing
afresh lu the case of the victim,

Contrary to the protests of Mrs. Ii iw
ner. he used the broken picket again
and aguln. and he was doing nobl,\
when I lie ply sudtTKjdfl) rushed at hint
with open mouth and knocked him
down and Jumped on him. lie might
have done far worse If Mr. Bowser
hadn't let go of his weapon and sf ram

he couldn't say a word for a ml mi I ??
When he could* gel his hrciilh h

lie run for more pickets, hut Mrs
Bowser protested and argued ami (Inn I
lv prevailed upon him tn desist.
"Well, hlast Ids eyes." exclaimed Mr.
Bowser as he- cooled off a little, "he
can live on for u few days, hut I'll
have my eye tut him! If he wants to
settle down and heltnve himself like
a respectable, law abiding pljtr it will he
all right, but he mustn't try any guni
games on me. I'm not the man to be
thrown down and walked on by any
such looking critter us he is!'"
"You said he was lonesome."
"And I say It yet. but he can't pitch
Into me in any such style as that, lone
some or no. He'll come- to It. however,
lie's get Him over his lonesomeness nl
ready."
The pig had censed squenllng for n
time, but no sooner had they moved
n way Hum lie recommenced his doleful
noise and except at rare intervals he
kept it up ;i!l day long. Mr. Bowser
carried out swill and got eorh and pull

a good deal further. [Id would eat and

"Am I a blamed old squealing pig that
you should make such comparisons?
You stay right here!"
WTiat happened at" that pigpen Mrs.
Bowser may never know She heard
the breaking of hoards, dull thuds as
of blows, squeals and grunts and cuss
words. and half an hour later Mr
Bowser came liuipinu in. He had evi- i
dently been rolled in the grass and
doubled up. and as he stood over her
he hoarsely exclaimed:
"Wonjan. your' pig is miles away and
still jroinu, and' if you even look at the
empty pen after ihis \ou and I will
