Cincinnati, Dec. 6.--The old officers of
the Cincinnati Baseball Club were re
elected, as follows: President, J. c.

freed by Razor-Back Hogs.

Gin my early youth hired out to a
farmer in the mountains of western
North Carolina" said Virginia traveller
to reporter for the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. 1.-The farm raised little but
scrub corn and ralor-back hogs. The
latter were turned out in the woods and
ran at large all seasons, eating mast and
becoming as wild as could be found in
Africa. In the spring it was the custom
to hunt these hogs upand brand the pigs
similar TO the rounding up of cattle on the
western plains. This was sometimes a
dangerous occupation. especially so when
the winter had been hard one. One day
| started out after tine hogs and after
several hours work failed TO find any Of
them. Finally l saw drove that mad
taken refuge in rock house, the term
used in that country to designate the
space beneath overhanging rocks, and
descending the mountain, | reached a
space near enough to them to recognize
them as the ones l was seeking. | had no
sooner satisfied myself upon this point
than the entire drove started for me,
headed by large boar with
mammoth tusks. Realizing my
danger, hastily climbed a
tree, hoping that when they could no
longer see me they would go back and
give me chance to return
to the house and get assistance,
but in minnie they had
completely surrounded the tree and
were grunting and squealing and fight
ing all around me. l had dropped my gun
in climbing to place Of safety. and there
was nothing TO be done except wait where
! was until they left. But they did not
leave; all night long they kept up their
infuriated squeals and by morning was
completely exhausted from the cramped
position / had occupied so long. Finally |
attempted 10 change my position. ana In
doing so fell from the tree, alighting upon
two OF the hogs. Jumping TO my feet, the
animals made a rush for the place ! had
fallen. and finding the bodies Of two hogs
had struck they began 70 tear them 10
shreds, losing sight Of me altogether In
their wrangle over the remains Of their
comrades ! started on a Fun for the
house. and bringing assistance, we killed
every hog, IL being impossible 70 drive

Curious rivals of the legendary lotus-eaters

Tribune. 1t unique community" said a
recent visitor. Nearly all of them are peo-
pie OF culture and family but they are
wretchedly poor, and most of them keep no
servants whatever, the women doing all the
homework and the men attending to the out
door department. 1t is easy living in Florida.
Everything seems to grow and ripen witho 1t
effort; vegetables are plenty, poultry increase
and multiply without requiring much care,
and Chicago supplies butchers meat at very
low rates Where impecunfosity is the gen
eral condition there is, Of course, no worldly
standard TO live up to- Some Of these
knights Of leisure are bachelors, and live to-
gether in communities Of two or three, doing
for themselves in happy go lucky fashion.
They are by no means an unattractive

but not an unpleasant one, and as the oranges
yield certain revenue although one that is
far below their antlcipattons), many who
have invested all their small capital in the
groves naturally hesitate to take the plunge
into the world. and measure their strength
and ability with the outside crowd Of eager
aspirants and bread winners"
You must have rather gay time there in
Florida in the winter said an acquaintance
to young english girl, whose father re-
tired British oficer, had put his little fortune
into an orange grove.
"Oh. dear. no, was the reply given with
charming frankness. I'VE are not at all
smart people, dontC herknow, and we would
have no time anyway, as we do all our own
homework"
Jim said the old colonel to his son, II am
tired of seeing you spend your life on that
Yeranda: you have sat there for the last two
years. Don you think you had better go
away" All right. govnerY' answered the
young man, ana walked of.

a few weeks later when his mother re-

that he had been seen in Virginia"
1t seems TO he an accepted article Of faith

He Obeved Her.

Most American women have had embar-
RAISING experiences in social emergencies
says the Youths Companion. Perhaps none
was ever more trying than the adventure OF a
lady noted in New York society for her
courtesy and savotr faire.
One winter day she started on the train for
Philadelphia, taking her seat In what she
supposed was an ordinary parlor car. There
was but one other occupant, a somewhat stout
man, who sat with his back to her Presently
he lighted cigar and began to smoke. The
lady coughed and moved uneasily but her
hints had no effect. She said at last, tartly: ,
You probably are foreigner, sir. and do
not know that there is smoking car attached
10 the train. Smoking is not permitted here"
The man without reply, threw the cigar out
of the window.
A few moments later the conductor entered
and stared at her in dismay.
How did you come here, madam" he In
quired.
why, where am II"
In General Grants private car"
The mortified ladys usual tact failed her
here. She looked at the dumb. immovable
figure, and retreated without word.
