JEFFRIES AND RlTUTTN

There is nothing definite to announce
as tc the proposed battle for the cham
pionshir between Jeffries and Rubin
Jeffries has said that he will meet the
Akron giant, and that he will give the
cOnqueror of the man-of- war s-man first
chance. Jeffries has been out of shape
ever since his meeting with Corbett, due
20 an injured arm, which has been in u
plaster cast. He stated, while in St
Paul, that he expected to have the arm
out in a few days. The date suggested
for battle between Jeffries and Rubin
is some time in August. 1t must be prior
to Sept. l, if the men are to meet III Nov
York, for on that date the Horton law be-
comes dead letter, and if the men are
matched for later meeting, it will like
ly be somewhere in the far West, and to
a finish Neither COrbett nor Fitzsim-
mons have been doing any talking of late.
Hence, 1t is not probable that either of
the men named will seek to deprive RUN
lin of the opportunity for first chance at
the champion. The battle between the
big boilermaker and the sturdy Swiss
should be a corker. Willie Greer.

SOME POINTS ON PIGS.

Don't breed from an irritable, vi.
cious tempered SOW. Her bad quail
tiles are liable to be repeated in an in
tensified degree in her offspring.
The developed hog is SO artificial an
animal that it cannot safely be left
to what some swine-growers call nat
ural conditions" that is. conditions
similar to those in which the wild
or neglected hog lives and thrives.
Ten months ought to be good
average length of time to take the
pig from birth to the market. If much
more time is spent in bringing the pig
to market size and quality. there will
be small profit when the carcass is
sold.
The savage, fleet, vicious, nervous,
pugnacious "razorback' cannot be
confined and fed and fnttcned as the
domesticated hog can be. The wild
brute would promptly die il subjected
to the care and feed which make TIL"
tame hog fat and healthy,
In northern regions the pig can be
made to put on lean meat by p"stnr-
ing, with its implied exercise, and by
a feed of skimmik, wheat bran, SOY
beans and cowpeas. This food is far
cheaper than the rations generally
used in northern localities. --Journal

THE OLD UNFINISHED CHAMBER

The old unfinished chamber!"-
] shut my eyes and see
The massive, smoke-browned rafters.
Each hewn from some huge tree:
No medieval castle
Fer boosted ribs more stout:
NO widest wind Of winter
Could shake them with its rout.
And yet they condescended
To yield ungrudged support
10 traces trim of popcorn
For winter evenings sport;
To festooned wealth of apple.
And wrinkled rings galore
or pie-prophetic pumpkin.
And grandma's treasured store
OF peppermint and spearmint,
Skull-cap and sage and dill.
Wormwood and balm and catnip-
Sure cure for every i'll.
Small need had we of doctors!
At slightest hint of pain
Came grandma with her herb-drink,
And we were well again.
see the huge old chimney,
Up which the wood fires roared,
On every side surrounded
BY all our childish hoard
OF hazelnuts and beechnuts,
Gathered in golden days,
While saucy chipmunks scOlded,
And all the woodland ways
Were gay in gold and scarlet,
And all the air was sweet
with breath of glorious autumn.
Whose wealth was at our feet.
l see the small-paned windows
That, In winters night,
Would win to WOndrous beauty
OF tracery aZure-white.
Scenes of the sunny south land,
With towering tropic trees,
Pictures of polar regions
And iceberg-haunted seas,
All that we read and dreamed of,
That travellers tales rehearse,
We saw in our still corner
or the great universe.
Then, when the days grew longer
And weak the winters chains,
From some dim, dreaming Granny
Out on the sunny panes
Big sleepy flies crept staidly,
With dazed, bewildered mien,
AZ though they scarce remembered
The once familiar scene;
But when, by sunshine Weakened,
They raised their CHEEKY hum,
We knew that they were telling
"For true that spring was come.
All, dreamy, blissful memories
OF dear, dim rainy days!
We could not Ego a-flshing,"
And all our outdoor plays
We're set aside. What cared we?
We knew the latch-string stout
or the old unfinished chamber"
Was always hanging out.
What frolics meath the rafters!
What masquerading fine
In garments worn and faded.
Fashioned In "auld lang syne"
What happy-hearted laughter,
What songs untouched by pain,
Blent with the obligato
Unceasing of the rain.
Dear old unfinished chamber!
No palace fairer seems
None to my heart is nearer
In all the land of dreams

Blue jay Tree Planters.

An old time Arizona woodchoppcr
says the blue jays have planted thou
sands Of the trees now growing all over
Arizona. He says these birds have q
habit Of burying small seed in the
ground with their bcaks and that they
frequent pinyon trees and bury large
numbers Of the small pine nuts in the
ground, many Of which sprout and
grow. Hc was walking through the
pines with an eastern gentleman Il short
time ago when one Of these birds flew
from n tree to the ground, stuck his
bill In the earth and quickly flew away.
When told what had happened, the
eastern man was skcptical, but the two
went to the spot and with q knife blade
dug out Il sound pine nut from depth
Of about ~ inches. Thus it will be seen
that nature has plans Of her own for
forest perpetuation.

A Joke on ORenbach,

NJ. Ernest Blum told n joke which
he and some friends played on Often
bach when "La Belle Helene" was
about to be produced. The composer
was most anxious that his airs should
not get about before the first night and
had asked all his company to be most
careful not to let any one hear them,
but his tunes were so catchy that it
was impossible to help singing them.
One day Blum and his friends were
sitting opposite Offenbach In q cafe
when one Of them began to hum lead
Ing air Of LA Belle Helene"
"Who taught you that?" cried Offen-
bach in 4 rage.
"No one" replied Blum. II have
known it for ages" and they all agreed
that their nurses used to sing it to
them when they were children. Pres
emily Albert Wolff, who was one Of the
party, began to sing another of the
airs.
"Whatw cried Ofrcnbach, "you know
that too?"
~ composed it myself" said Wolff.
Oifenbach then saw that they were
playing 4 practical joke on him and de-
mandcd the name Of the singer who
had sung them the opera. They re-
fused, and so the COMPOSER threatened
that he would fine every one in the
theatcr unless they told him. SO Blum
and his friends stood up and began
the first chorus Of the first act and de-
clarcd they would sing the finale before
the whole cafe unless Olfcnbach re-
Tented. The composer, in terror for
his music, gave in, beaten by his own
facility In writing music.
