Before I became associated with this typo of animal life, I thought that guinea pigs would make ideal pots. But what s mistake that vas. We had friends in Columbus who had eight or nine guinea pigs. I wrote e letter asking if it would be possible for me to buy tvo of them. They replied seying thdt they would be only too glad to send two by express, free of charge. They seemed very anxious to get rid of the cute little creatures, no I called them at the time. I could not imagine why until the pigs hed remained at our house for two or three days and then I fully understood their anxiety. One .ftornoon about four o'clock the pigs arrived at the depot. My futher wont after them while I oerefully fixed a large box in which they were to reside. I was warned to he careful and not pick them up by their tails or their eyes would fall out. This sounded rather strange hut I resolved to follow this advice and not pick them up by their tdils. When at last my father arrived with the pigs I anxiously supcrintendod their most cautious placing in the box. I picked up one of the pigs te see if there could possibly he any con- nection witn the tail and the eyes. However, after giving the matter careful consideration, I decided that surely there must not hevc been for the pigs didn't have the least sign of a tail. The joke was on we, but I was so delighted with the pigs thmt I didn't get angry at the taunts of my mother and father. Then I inquired, HI Wonder what they eat? Do you suppose they would oat scraps from the tuble, or would they have to have some thing special? This question was not long unanswered for I soon found out, much to my discomfort, that they would edt any known thing in unlimited quantities. I clemned out txe ,1,'. hex about three times d day for two days end then I 'u'i'f'.Z.Q! :F-,:ad'y to kill the little pig- gies. If thf':,5,f woulfll have possessed any tails, I would have used them for handles end picked them up every time I looked at one of them. I never saw such dirty, ignorant animals in my life. One evening We hed u visitor. My father showed him gig? my pigs end the gentleman exclaimed, HOh, that is what my if - little Qlrl has been wentin, for a lens time.
