THE last sharp quarrel had been the proverbial straw, Mr. Brown representing the camel. In this last battle royal Mrs. Brown, Miss Brown, Master Brown, the Brown servant, and even the Brown baby had borne each a noble part. Mr. Brown, the noncombatant, wore scars, though they were all in the rear. He had fled as soon as possible, wisely silent, but with a bright Ides flickering In hie brain. On the way home from his office he visited the five-cent store and emerged bearing under his arm a fat and untidy bundle. When the aggressive Brown family gathered round their festive dinner table great was the commotion. Mrs. Brown's fern-dish reposed on the floor In a corner, and in Its place stood a placid and plethoric pig Of heavy earthenware he was, mottled yellow and bro^vn; his feet resembled those of, a well-niirtured elephant and his snout matched his feet. Midway down his spine yavyped invitingly a generous slit. When there was a sufficient lull In the conversation to allow of his being heard Mr. Brown spoke gently: "Yes, It is a pig. He came from the five-cent store. He cost ten cents. He is ours. There Is going to be a new rule in the family. Whenever there Is any disturbance here like the one this morning, each and all persons taking part in it are to put their smallest piece of change, whatever it, may be, In his back. When he Is full we will break him and count the money. I will add the same amount, and we will spend It on some Jollification for all of us. This Includes Delia," he added, remembering certain sounds of strife that often floated out from the kitchen. The hubbub broke forth anew. Johnny Jingled the pig gleefully for the next few days, as he grew heavier and heavier. But when he himself rfas caught, and his only piece of money was his week's allowance of a quarter, it wasn't nearly so funny. He raged as he dropped It Into the yawning slit, but he raged inwardly. Mrs. Brown felt much the same when, her patience giving out, she had a good, old-fashioned tantrum and then found her pockethook contained nothing but a silver dollar. "That certainly won't go in," she thought hopefully, hut the gaping orifice swallowed It greedily. At first the pig fared well; then the supply grew scarcer and Mr. Brown was happy In the unaccustomed ntmohphere of peace and calm which hovered over his household. Occasional spasms, however, had their inevitable results, and at last the pig was full. One Saturday afternoon the famUy assembled in solemn conclave. The penitential pig was about to te sacrificed. ] "We'll go up Into the library," said Mr. Brown, "and take a vote and decide." "Pa," shouted Johnny as he clambered up the stairs hearing the still placid and unsuspecting pig, "can I bust his stummick?" Gathered in the library, the pig was placed on a small table against an open window, and the family, Including Delia, seated themselves. The Brown baby ran about the room unnoticed. Below in the street a handorgan man ground out wheezy tunes. His monkey crouched on his shoulder. "Now, what shall we do with ItV" asked Mr. Brown, beaming. The hand-organ man struggled bravely with the latest addition to his repertoire. The monkey ran up the spout and perched on the jvindow sill, but nobody noticed him Except the Brown baby. "I have teen thinking," said Mr. Brown; "I have given this matter serious consideration, and what do' you say to this plan? Suppose we partially adopt Johnny's suggestion and hire an auto for a day. We will go somewhere up the river on a picnic; we can either take our lunch or buy It.'1 The chorus of acclamation which followed this suggestion, mingling with the strains of "Oh, Dear, What Can the Matter Be?" from the persistent hand-organ, completely drowned a terrific crash on the sidewalk. "Well, then, we will adopt that plan," said Mr. Brown; "Johnny, you may now 'bust his stummick.'" Johnny with a delighted whoop made for the table where had reposed the sacrifice. He stopped midway and the blank dismay on his face was reflected on the countenances of the whole family. "Why, where Is--" "Where can he be?" "Where is the pig?" There was a slight dlversiie^ while Mrs. Brown hauled the Brown baby back from a perilous position on the window sill, where he hung, gazing blissfully at something below. As she leaned out to grasp him she saw something on the sidewalk. Her scream brought the others to the window. There on the pavement lay the fragments of the penitential pig--sacrificed indeed 1 At that moment the projected automobile picnic vanished into thin air. There was not left even the smell of gasoline! Up the street was disappearing a delighted hand-organ man, richer by )tan unknown sum. The monkey on his shoulder spasmodically doffed his cap, and soon Into the silence of the room came, faint and far-away, the Jubilant strains of "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo I" Ancient Funeral Boat A miniature funeral boat, four thousand years old, found in U^rpt, was sold in London recently.

Especially now that a shortage of both new and used cars is certain, the greatest case in kteeplng the car in good running order is Imperative. Some of the most important parts of a car and the parts most susceptible to wear if not properly watched are the bearings. Bearing failures are usually due either to improper adjustment or Improper lubrication. One of the flrst rules of bearing lubrication Is that the lubricant must not contain any water, acid, alkali or any kind of abrasive Such substances will greatly affect the highly polished surfaces of races, balls and rollers. It Is said of flake graphite used as a lubricant that "the more it is rubbed, the smoother it becomes." The oil or grease is used more or leas as a vehicle to carry the graphite to the surface of the contact. MANY NEW US«S FOR PHOTOS BY WIRE Excellent Recipe Given for Automobile Polish For furniture or automobile bodies an excellent polish can be made by thinning down boiled linseed oil with turpentine. This should be applied sparingly to the clean surface with a cloth and should be rubbed briskly wRh a soft dry cloth or cotton waste. It Is best not to use body polish on a car until the gloss has become dull. Another polish commended by automobile experts Is made from one gallon of turpentine, three and one-half ounces of citronella oil, One pint of par aflin oil or light cylinder oil, and one and one-half ounces of oil of cedar. When the finish of a car has become v«ry dull the appearance can be great- 'y (improved by rubbing with a mixture ^cylinder oil and kerosene. • Aunt Ada'* Axioms It's a good thing that the big Joya and the big sorrows of life seem'generally to be distributed to those who can stand them.--Atlanta Constitution.

Picayune. . In the short time that has elapsed since the art of sending pictures over telephone wires was placed on a commercial basis only a few months ago, a large number of uses have been found for the new process. The newspapers were the first to make use of this new invention, and among the news events, pillures of which have been sent across the continent for newspaper publication, have been the Santa Barbara earthquake, the Boston dance hall disaster, the funeral of William Jennings Bryan, the Ku Klux Klan parade in Washington, the start of the Amundsen expedition, and a number of pictures in regard to murder trials. However, the newspapers have by no< means monopolized the new service. Business men also are finding it of the greatest value when they wish to get information to Chicago or across the continent without delay. A well-known automobile manufacturer, wishing to acquaint his western sales force with new designs that were being contemplated, sent pictures of them by wire. The California Railway & Power Company of San Francisco, desiring the directors to see a picture of a new type of trolley car, recently placed in operation, sent a picture by telephotography in time for the meeting of the directors in New York. Bankers have been experimenting with the sending of pictures of checks so as to identify signatures. Advertising agencies have used the service in sending advertisements so as to aem immediate publication. X-ray ptetwws, greeting cards, fin-- ger-prints, cartoons, charts and engineering drawings, shorthand notes, typewritten letters, architects' pencilled sketches, the cover of a magazine, wills and other legal papers, represent a few of the many other uses to which tbs serarke .fcas beaa placed* • -- J 00-Year-Old Clock Runt .
