HOW RUDE GOT

Rube Waddell, the eccentric
southpaw who is now on the pitch
ing staff of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, delights in telling how he
got his nick name, "Rube."
At the time the willy Waddell
was given the name he was playing
Sunday ball on the Oil City team
in Pennsylvania. He was doing the
box stunt for the OIL City team.

BROKERS BREAK INTO
BASE BALL

II anyone Is so simple as to think
mining brokers know nothing and
do nothing besides peddle wildcats,
good things and job stock prices
until the unwary thinks he has
million in sight, then that misguid-
ed mortal would do well to watch
the brokers play the Great Ameri-
can game Of baseball. War broke
out some weeks ago between Wal
lace and Spokane brokers. There
was no sense in battling with
stocks as that would cut into bank
accounts both ways, so it was de-
cided by the Spokane brokers to
challenge the Occur d'Aleners to a
game of baseball. Several Spokane
brokers are there strong with this
particular sport, and as it has turn
ed out the Occur d'Alene fellows
had the edge over them.
Despite the nasty weather yester-
day the teams managed to play
the full 8 innings with the result
that Wallace won to 3. The score
is unofficial but all the players
swear that is about the way it end
ed with the cheating the Wallace
fellows did.
A general jollification followed
the game. Said jollificaton was
still on at an early hour this morn
ing and several of the 800 Wallace
brokers reached their train in
hacks One Of them had his hair

HIS ANGRY BEES RAN AMuck.
They Stuns to Death the Poultry on
the Farm and Buzzed for More.

From Cape Town comes the follow
ing: A very large number of turkeys,
geese, ducks, fowls and chickens
were recently killed in the Stellen-
bosch districts in unique manner. A
few days ago several hives of bees
on Mr.. Choete's farm, Klapmuts,
which had been there for number Of
years, were attacked by what is
known in the Dutch language as the
motbij, presumably with the object Of
eating the honey.
In consequence of this it appears
the bees showed their resentment by
attacking all the poultry on the farm
and practically annihilated the lot.
They further assailed the farmer and
his men, who had rough afternoon,
struggling to gain the victory over the
bees. 1t is said that one of the col
ored domestic servants was unrecog-
nizable after the engagement.
1t was fortunate that the cattle and
horses were in the veldt, otherwise
things might have been more serious.
In the evening everything became
more normal, when the bees were
smoked out with sulphur and exter-
minated. 1t is said the experience
which the residents of the farm had
on that day they do not wish to have
repeated. A struggle with infuriated
bees is a most awful and painful ex.
perience.

REBEL RAM ALeEMARLE.
One of Survivors Tells Of the Daring
Expedition Against It..

More than two score years ago
Wisconsin man, born in Delafield, per-
formed an act of bravery that thrilled
every northern heart, filed the con-
federacy with dismay and resulted in
incalculable advantage to the northern
forces of the civil war, writes j. l..
Graf, in Milwaukee Sentinel.
On the night of October 81, 1864,
William Barker Gushing, with IL men,
drove picket boat with torpedo
boom through raft of logs and
showed a torpedo under the rebel ram
Albemarle that was lying at the wharf
at Plymouth, N. c.
For acts of like fearlessness Cush-
ing had received four letters from the
secretary of the navy, and this act
brought him another from Secretary
Welles.
At that time the Albemarle was the
only ironclad in North Carolina
waters; already 1t had attacked the
blockading fleet and threatened to
open an important port to the confed-
crates. At one time no less than sew
.en gunboats and ferry boats were set
to watch the ram to prevent 1t from
destroying the federal fleet, and when
the Wisconsin man with his brave lit
tie crew sent the monster to the hot
tom of the Roanoke, he got the praise
of the nation and startled the whole
world with his bravery. 1t is claimed
that this was the transcendent act of
the navy in daring feats that were per
formed in the face of death. Two of
