One Of many mysteries connected
with the elephant is that his huge body
needs less sleep than anything else that

suffice two just before midnight lying

Fear Of man on the part Of wild an

on record where men going among an
finals that had never seen human be-

obliyious to mans approach, while the
same characteristics have been noted
in the case of animals especially pro-

A number Of farmers and stockmen

have within the past few weeks lost
several head of cattle as a. result of
their slipping on the ice covered

loss might have been prevented If the

Residents in and about Chippeway
Falls, Wis, are reported to have in
dulged in bear drive recently. The
depredations of the brutes in midwin-
ter are explained by the fact that the
weather has been so mild that they
have come forth from their hibernat-
ing haunts and, being UP and about,
have been compelled to look around
for something to eat. Sheep and
calves have been their chief prey.

The difference between a yield Of
thirty-6ye and seventy-dve bushels of
corn per acre from the same land Is
due to difference in seed, difference in
preparation of the seed bed and diner
ence in cultivation. Along all these
lines the man comes in, and he it is
who largely determines whether the
yield is large or small.

During the year past the, price Of
hogs on the Chicago market has ruled
nearly dollar per hundredweight
higher than for the preceding year,
and packers attribute 1t to the fact
that hog raisers and shippers are be-

rush their hogs to market indiscrimi-
nately, as they have often done in
years previous. In any event. what
ever the cause, 1t has been all right
from the standpoint Of the granger.

Manager of American Olympic Team
Tells why Athletes Oppose Him.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9o.-Matthew p. Hal
pin, manager of the victorious American
team at the Olympic games in Athens,
has replied to the attacks made on him
by several members of that team, and
their protests against his acting as man
ager of the American team which is to
take part in the games in London next
summer. In q long communication to
the papers Halpin gives what he declares
to be the reasons for the attacks and
the protests. He says that the main rea-
son for the protest of the Irish-American
Club is the fact of the intense rivalry
between that club and the New York
Athletic Club, of which Halpin is a menu
Der. The protests of the various MEM
bers of the team at Athens he declares to
be based on personal grounds, and takes
each on in turn, telling his side of the
Incidents which they have related. He
closes his statement with a reference to
the disappearance of the cablegram of
con~gratulation from President Roosevelt.

TRENTON FOR THE EASTERN?

The annual report of Montreal leaving

rounds and the latest has 1t that the
franchise may be transferred to Trenton.
Frank Farrell, Clark Griffith and Billy
Keller, of the New York Americans, who
own the Montreal outfit, nave probably
lost considerable money in the Canadian
tow and would no doubt, prefer to
transplant their investment to another
city or sell out. 1t Is ever stated that
P. II. Powers, president of the Eastern
League, is directing his efforts toward
getting into Trenton, but the chances
are slim at present.
The story of Trenton going from the
Tri-State Into the Eastern League APP
peared yesterday in a Trenton paper with
variations.
According to this account the deal is
virtually closed between Colonel Perrine

NationaI Association. Colonel Perrine, the
story states, was only moved to put a
team in Trenton at the i~nstigationi of Sec
rotary Farrell, who wanted to see what
kind of Il ball town the Jersey capital

a winner. the town is to be shifted into

no one has attempted to solve. The ma
tional board granted Trenton to the rri-
State. 1t is lncomprehensible that the
same body would reverse itself in the
face of the protests of President Car
penter and his associates.
Trenton is ideal Tri-State territory. 1t
is within easy access of four towns in tho
circuit, and the success of the team last
year is a good augury for what will hap
pen next season.
The Tri-State will not willingly let Tren-
ton go, and there is probably no baseball
law that can compel them to do so. 1t
is a pretty safe bet that the Trenton
club will be in the same circuit next
summer.
