Swine at Chicago. INDIAN TYPEWRITER GIRL. Miss Edna Parker a Member ot a DlaV tlngulslieit Seneca family. For the first time in the history af the New York Btato Iroquois Indian' women one of their number has be come a typewriter and stenographer. She Is Miss Edna Wright Parker and is now In the service of the New Yorkj Central railroad.

Miss Parker comes While In numbers swine did not compare with exhibits In other classes of live stock, the show at Chicago was nevertheless a creditable and representative one. In round numbers, there were five hundred head ot all breeds. The Berkshires headed the list with 117 head. Poland-Chinas came next with 100 head. There Were sixty Chester White, lorty Duroo Jerseys, and about the same number of Vic HER FATAL LOQUACITY.

So for years ahe masticated textile fabric day by day Morn, noon and night, And her meek and gentle husband's hair grew prenjaturely gray, As well it might; 3ut she went abroad a-touring in the mountains round about, There she met a stubborn echo, and the echo tired her out. And her broken spirit, after a last, long, despairing ghout. Did wing its illsht.

of a Seneca Indian family distinguished! or mares, four-in-hand team, six-ln-band team and three abreast, There was the keenest kind of competition In the Clydesdale classes, and O. E. Clark ot St. Cloud, was most successful, winning the championship with the remarkably fine stallion Earl of Bombie by the most celebrated horse of the breed in Scotland, Mr. Andrew Montgomery's Baron's Pride.

In the class for aged stallions Alex. Galbralth of Janesville, had the honor to capture the blue ribbon with his well-known stallion Laminated Steel by Col. Holloway's great Prince of Wales' horse Cedric, who has proved far and away the most prepotent Clydesdale breeding stallion In this country' and has sired a number of horses which were exported and give a good account of themselves in Scottish showyards and studs. Laminated Steel is a great mover for so large a horse and possesses all the other attributes of tho breed but was very closely pressed for the honors by Benedict by Baron's Pride and shown by the Brookslde Farm Company of Ft Wayne, a horse ot more massive build and frame, but a trifle under the weather on account of sickness. The ribbons were tlad in the Clydesdale classes by Prof.

Carlyle ot the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station, Prof. Craig of the Iowa Experiment Station and Mr. Robt Graham of Claremont, Ont. There was never a better or finer display ot Aberdeen-Angus cattle seen in this country than that held at this shoot through him, ns the girl turned and placed her arms lovingly around the cripple. "Who are they?" he asked a boy who was playing marbles in the park.

"Their name's Thorn," returned the freckled urchin. "He's Thorn, too a brother to the girl, my granny says," replied the boy, as he chased a recreant marble. This information gave Morrill instant relief. Noble Anglo! It was a crippled brother whom she was trying to support with her pen. Morrill went home fully resolved to help the girl to the entire extent ot his power in her literary efforts.

He declined nothing that she wrote for his magazine, but patiently went over her work, eliminating crudities and changing a word here and there, thus adding vigor to the story. Then he wrote her kind letters ot advice and sent her books to read. Under his friendly criticism her style soon improved, and her fame through the pages of The Nutshell grew each month. Then the editor began to be deluged with letters, asking all kinds of questions about this new writer, and several of his editor friends wrote him, congratulating him upon his discovery of this new star in the production ot short stories. Morrill then wrote Angie, begging permission to use her portrait and a short sketch of herself in his magazine.

But she firmly refused his requests, and Morrill's most eloquent entreaties were futile to change her decision not to give her picture to the public. Although slightly vexed at ton first; G. W. Trone Sons, second and third. Sow, 1 year old and under 2 G.

In the class for four pigs under six months, Shellenberger Cox won first on the produce ot Blackbird; Dorsey Son second on the produce of Slick Wilkes; Layon third on the produce of Queen Lll; Dorsey fourth on the produce of Maggie's Prospect BEKKSHIRES. The Berkshire exhibit was perhaps the best of any of the displays of swine. They were the most numerous and many of the classes were very strong. I. N.

Barker Son of Thorn-town, won the greatest honors of the Bhow, not because they had the greatest number on exhibition for they showed nothing over one year ot age, but in some classes they won first, second and third prizes and pigs of their breeding in earns class carried off the fourth and fifth prizes. Mr. K. B. Clough ot North Amherst, 0., was handicapped on account of his grand yearling boar Rockland Joy being so lame that it was not deemed advisable to show him, and it was fortunate for his competitors that such was the case, for he was the most sensational yearling that has been out this season.

In aged boars, John F. Stover of Crawfordsvllle, won first, the Blltmore Biltmore, N. second, and Homer ot Greenville, third. In yearling boars Homer Bros, were first, Geo. W.

Jessup ot Rockvllle, second and fifth, the Baltimore Farm third, and Geo. W. Trone Son, Rush-Ville, fourth. In class for boars six and under twelve months, Blltmore came first, Homer Bros, second, Clough third and fourth, and Jessup fifth. In class for boars under six months, Barker Son showed six.

Blltmore two, Jessup one, and McTavish two. Barker Son won first on Combination (by Gov. Lee), second on Broad Top Lee (also by Gov. Lee) and third on Columbus Star 2d (by Columbus Star), Blltmore Farm won fourth and fifth on pigs bred by Barker Son. The boar "Combination" was sold to A.

Co.) There was look ot profound disgust upon the handsome face of Tom Morrill, editor of tho Nutshell Magazine, as he tossed aside the manuscript of the story he had been reading and lighted a cigar. "This is the third month we have printed the notice that the Nutshell desires a number ot fresh and original stories tales out of the beaten track, that have something in them besides stale dialogue and worn-out plots," he muttered. "But what has been the resultT An Inundation of trash drift by its exceptional record. The mothers of William Parker, the great-great-l great paternal grandmother of Mis4k; Parker, is concerned in one of the Ini dian romances previous to the revoliK tionary war. A party of the Senecastj captured a young white woman of thej Slocum family who became as one ot tbem.

During a treaty trip to Forti Niagara she met titled French oli fleer who, infatuated with her clandestinely took her as his wife. Enraged at this alliance, the Indians 3tole her from her husband who was afterward killed In battle, and returned her to their camp, where her daughter, th child of the Frenchman, was afterward born. As soon as possible after tha birth of this child, in an endeavor to search for her own family, mothee escaped from captivity, taking th9 daughter with her. She was overtaken" by the Indians, the child was taken: from her, and one of her captors escorted her to her relatives neai Philadelphia. The child, reared by tha Senecas, and not knowing her parentage, was eventually married to an Indian chief and from her descended the Parker family, who in each of the succeeding generations have been distinguished among their people.

The Greatgrandfather of Miss Parker, William Parker, a volunteer in the American army during the war of 1812, was serl-i ously wounded at the battle of Chipper wa. Her grandfather, Nicholson Parker, was a graduate of a college at Albany. Her great-uncle, Gen. Ely Parker, the foremost Indian of his generation, was the military secretary of Gen. Grant during the civil war.

The father of Miss Parker Is now in the: freight auditor's department of they New York Central railroad. Her mother is a white woman of Scotch descent. Her brother, Arthur Parker, having been associated with the New York Central for a time, is now in the Dickinson seminary, at Williamsport, preparing for a college course before entering the church as a clergyman ot the Methodist faith.

It is also their hope to have the' show ot 1902 in a special building and cut it in two as it were, holding a grand wind-up exhibition at the close of the county and state fairs at which the final awarding ot premiums will be done, thus settling for the year the respective merits of all the grand animals in the country. The second show will be a fat stock Bhow, pure and simple, and will be hold early in December, so that the fat beasts may be sold for Christmas beef.

It was scarcely to be expected that the show held at the stock yards tar from the center of the city would draw a great concourse of spectators, but the management was agreeably surprised when they found at the end long price.

She glanced shyly at Morrill, then stammered: "I I hare a story here.

If you will let me leave It If you will read It" "Certainly, I'll be glad to examine it," auswered the editor, noting with a thrill ot admiration the tall, graceful figure, the profusion of sunny hair, and the wine-dark eyes of his shy caller. "Oh, thank you!" she responded with a look of gratitude in her lovely face. Morrill's heart felt a strange flutter. "When may I call to see If If you can use it?" she asked, placing a small package on the desk. "Tomorrow," said Morrill, feeling that he would not care how soon she came back.

"Then I shall call tomorrow evening." A moment later she quitted the editorial room. Morrill took up the manuscript, written in delicate characters, beautiful as a copy plate. "A school girl's composition," he said half-pltyingly, as he glanced It over hastily. "It's too bad, but a solemn fact, generally, that beauty and genius never go together." The he began to read: "The Children of the Valley ot the Red Cactus. By Anglo Thorn." "Angle! Tho name suits her something like angel.

But what a queer title! Who knows?" he mused. And so Morrill read on, too deeply interested. In the strange, tragic narrative of pure, unselfish sacrifice, to note the little crudities here and there in style and construction. To Morrill the story was a revelation.

"My discovery!" he cried enthusiastically.

"Through the Nutshell shall have the honor of introducing this new genius to the world." When Angle Thorn called next evening Morrill handed her a liberal check for her story and asked her to submit other manuscripts. It was evident she bad not expected such ready acceptance, and with tears in her pretty eyes she stammered out her thanks and hurried home. Three days later, however, she was back again with another package of MSS.

"Angie, if you will only give me the right to help you always with your literary work," he pleaded, hardly knowing how to tell his story his heart's sweet talo now that he had begun. "You can help me so much, too; we will "Stop!" she cried, a sharp, cruel ring in her voice. "I have deceived you. I am not the writer of those stories." "You are jesting with me," he said.

"But you signed your own name to the manuscripts," he "Yes, because he wished me to do so." "He? Oh! I understand. The stories were dictated to you by your Brother." "I have no brother," with flushing cheeks. "The stories were composed by my husband." "Husband!" Morrill gasped the word, and started back as if she had struck him. she went on in tones that seemed to freeze him. "My husband met with an accident that made him a cripple for life.

We came here to please a friend, who Insisted that we should live In this house, rent free. We are poor and must work. My husband decided to try writing for papers and magazines. We both believed that a woman, as a beginner in that field, would get more kindly treatment from editors, than a man. So my name was used and I played author." She gave a.
