Hoe AS AN ATHLETE.
A Granville Man Has an Interesting

Walter Beeler, who lives out near
Granville north of the river. had an
experience last Tuesday which goes to
show that when it comes to athletics
the razor back hog doesn't lose any Of
it's ability when surrounded by civilized
environments
Beeler had been asked by a neighbor
to take horse to town with him to get
it shod. so he hitched it behind the
wagon in which his razor back was be-
ing transported to the slaughter house.
After the procession had Travelled for q
couple of miles the hog jumped over
the back Of the three-board wagon bed.
Its sudden appearance scared the horse
so that It broke it's rope. The road was
so rough that Beeler didn't hear the
racket and rode on unconscious for an
other quarter of a mile before he looked
back to see how his livestock was stand-
ing it. Back in the road he saw the
horse stock still. with the look Of be-
wilderment yet on it's features. white
the hog was just going over the brow
Of the next hill. Beeler didn't want to
tell about the occurrence, but he had
to call in assistance in rounding up the
Dig.

HOME FOR TEACHERS.
Crane & Co. Start a Movement to
Found One.

A movement has been started which
may result in the building of home for
school teachers who have given their
lives to teaching without receiving suf-
fcient remuneration to lay up enough
to keep them IN their declining years.
It was started by the oresenta ton to
the state association of a check for
$3.50 by Crane & Co, representing the
sales made to the teachers by that pub
fishing house during the association. A
commission consisting of Prof. LansdOn
of Fort Scott, State Superintendent
elect Dayhon. and Prof A. S. Olin. the
incoming president of the association
was appointed to take charge of the
fund. In speaking of the matter George
W. Crane said:
1T is something that is needed. and
there is no use delaying the matter
longer. Many teachers give their lives
to teaching. As a rule. teachers cannot
save much money After years Of toll
and usefulness. they finally reach the
age where they must retire from the
school room. They have no means. Want
and suffering stalk on one side and
charity on the other. They are humilia-
ted either way. Now this scheme takes
them out of both classes. The fund is
to be used just as the government runs
its pension system or Its soldiers homes.
It is not a sign of poverty to draw a
pension or to live at soldiers home.
Many rich men get pensions and live at
the homes. That is the position in which
I want the teachers placed. I desire
that they shall have some place to spend
their declining days after wearing out
in the service

Growth in Copper Production.

New York. Jan. S-According to
report compiled by the New York
Metal Exchange there has been an in
crease in the production of copper for
the year just closed. The figures for
the production in 1902 are 293, $50 tons
as compared with csc, 716 tons in 1901
Adding to net importations of foreign
copper the total for 1902 is 1858, T57 tons
as compared with 328. 002 in 1901 The
expectations, however, have been near
ly doubled. In 1902, the total exports
of copper were 16S, ABS tons against 9g,
s941 in 1901. Consumption also increased
probably on account of the low prices
and it is estimated that the country
pared with $4,000 in 1901 Summing
UP the results of the year, the state
ments show that the stocks at the
mines on transportation, at renneries
and in warehouses are estimated to be
1873, 813 tons at the end of the year

Weather Bureaus Summary of Wheat
Crop Conditions.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The weather bu.
reau's summary of crop conditions is as
follows:
the month averaged cozd with more 1Ia
the usual amount of precipitation. The
temperature conditions were. however.
not unfaVOrable to winter wheat until
the last decade when the states of the
upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys
experienced temperatures ranging from
zero to % degrees below. During the
month upper Ohio valley states were
ering, but in the central Mississippi and
lower Missouri valleys the crop was ex-
posed. Only slight damage. however.
seems to have resulted and at the close
of the month the crop appears to be
very promising. Complaints of injury
are not extensive and are largely con-
fined to the Ohio valley

BETTING ON THE INCREASE
Committee of House of Lords Makes
Some Recommendations.

London. Jan. 3.-The rapid increase in
betting on horse racing in the United
Kingdom, especially among working
men, and the evils arising therefrOm are
fully acknowledged in the report of the
committee of the house of lords Issued
today; but the remedies recommended
are not FAR reaching. The committee
finds that betting is greatly facilitated
by the universal practice of the news
papers in publishing starting prices, but
the committee is not prepared to recon-
mend its prohibition as it would tend to
encourage dishonesty on the part of
bookmakers. 1t recommends that all
advertisements and circulars Of snor.-
ing 'tipsters" be made Illegal and ia
vors legislation enabling bookmakers to
be imprisoned for betting on the streets
with children.
