list of trophies by achieving a victory over
the Mt. Pleasant Methodists by a score of
Z to 2.
Both teams displayed marked improve
ment over former games this season. and.
barring occasional breaks into the error
column for black marks. the game was
clean, snappy and interesting. The Meth

plenty of ginger and the result was ex-
tremely doubtful until the fifth inning.
The pitching for GuntOn was done by
Seay, who deserves more credit. probably
than his fellow-players for the final result

slab artist for the Methodists, did excellent
work. but was not given the support he de-
served The latter worked heroically to
check the lead gained by his opponents. but

vious illness.

the season. and he was probably on trial,
his work deciding whether he was to draw
a release or not. 1t goes without saying
that he will linger a while longer in the
Senator's camp.
Pitcher Mullin performed in his usual
brilliant style, and had the Senators guess
ing from start to finish. His speed and
curves were of the lightning variety, and
the local batsmen appeared TO be in luck
to hit the ball at all.
One of the remarkable things about the
Tigers game was that in every one of the
eleven innings they had men on bases the
batters getting there either on errors or
balls. but it was then that Townsend work.

the game was not forthcoming.
The climax was reached in the ninth in

OLeary made neat sacrifice, advancing
Wood to second Manager Barrows then
sent Buelow out to run for Wood. and on
Mullins fly out to Cassidy the first named

WIFE AND PIGS FOR SALE.
Siberian Peasant Asks Police to Find
Customer for Them-Lady
Was "Quarrelsome.

A peasant living in the village OF
Petrowka, near Irkutsk. Siberia has
tried a novel method to disembarrass
himself Of his wife. who apparently
has strong views on the temperance
question. According to the Wostotseh-
ky Westnik newspaper he sent the fol-
lowing extraordinary letter to the no.
lice authorities of Irkutsll:
Il have the honor to ask YOU to
kindly make it publicly known that in
the village of Petrowl1a l have a young
wife, 20 years old, and two pigs for
sale. The price for all three is only
92 los. My wife is very pretty and
young. but of a somewhat quarrelsome
and capricious disposition. The pigs
are fat. II anyone thinks of making
purchase l shall be glad to send all
three on receipt of cost of carriage"
The police, when they received this
communication, thought at first that
they had to deal with madman. or.
at all events, person of weak intel
lect. But they sought out the peasant.
questioned him and found him to be
perfectly sane and of the average in
telligence, though living in poverty.
His wife frequently beat him on ac-
count of his drunken habits.

Fig Recently Born at Waycross Eas
Qualities of Both Elephant
and Rhinoceros.

Parties IN Macon. Ga, are reporting
the following curiosity. which is at
tracing attention at Waycross:
1t is pig that might be just as well
called young elephant or a young rhi-
noceros 1t was born in a litter of pies,
and lived Is hours. 1t has a snout like
an elephant. Two little eyes shine out
from under the edge of the snout and re-
semble an elephants eyes. Just below
the eyes is another projection. which
might be termed the snout of rhinocer-
os In the upper alveolar process, or
where the roof of the mouth is supposed
to be, is central tus5, somewhat like
that of a rhinoceros. and the tongue is
well developed
The teeth are in the lower alveolar
process, or lower jaw. ard there are two
tusks accompanying them, one on each
side, just as one would expect to find
in hogs mouth. The chin is we'll de-
veloped, but there is no hair except on
the chin and mouth. The skin is slightly
spotted. The feet are those of a new
born hog.
