That's the way Louie Richard
better known as the Abe Ruef o

epicurean taste. Every morning
her porcine highness was given a
quart of port wine as an appetizer
to attack a peck of acorns. The
MONDAY luncheon consisted of a
pail of corn meal mush and milk
and this was followed by a hearty
dinner of roasted chestnuts and
celery. Every night she slumbered
in a stall carpeted with lambs wool;
and blankets of the finest texture
prevented the night air from max
ing her uncomfortable.
Last Tuesday she had reached
the proper weight, and Abe con-
cluded to sample the meat he had
prepared. The family boiler full
of hot water awaited the arrival of
Butcher Bennett when he appeared
at the abbatoir with a vicious look
ing butcher knife in his hand. Her
highness was about to be assassina-
ted. Tearfully Abe droye her
from her quarters and cracked her
between the eyes with a rusty ham
mer. With a snort that sounded
like wool" the daintily fed beast
sank to the ground. The villainous
butcher knife did the rest.
Anticipating the pleasure he
would have IN devouring the choice
morsels Abe hung the carcass up to
cool aud then informed his friends
OF the choice cuts he would soon be
feasting upon.
Right here is where the mis-
chievous one began his work.
When Abe went out To- cut of a
hunk of her highness for his break
fast Wednesday morning no hog
was there. Rushing down town
he informed a crowd of loungers
that some one had stolen his hog.
"Stolen your hogl' inquired one
Of the crowd.
"Y.a.a-s, my hogr' yelled Abe.
"Aw, | don't believe you had
any hog" answered another.
Get out, you re bugW exclaimed
Abe as he sho, into q near by store
and began rummaging around for
his los, porker.
Get out of herer' shouted the
clerk, who was behind the counter,
This is no slaughter house.
There's no hog in here, aud | don /
believe you lost hog"
Your bug, tell you" said
Abe as he disappeared down the
street.
When he arrived at his cafe he
found the missing porker. Who
brought il. how il got there or
where il came from Abe Ruef of

BARNEY DREyFuss
WILD WITH JOY.
Fished for Two Years for
Abbaticchio and Finally
Landed Him.

rPiTTSBURG, January 2.-Barncy Drey-
fuss to-day came out with tho rather re-
markablo statement that no had worked
Tor two years to secure Abbaticchio, the
former Boston second baseman, and that
in that period OF time he had repeatedly
offered Rtchey as leading bait. but with
trimmings. yet could not make the deal
until this winter. Dreyfuss expresses
great JOY that he has been able final
iy TO make the deal. Said he:
Two years ago 1 offered Ritchey and
five other players to Boston for IAbbatic-
chic. but Boston laughed at me- tried
I'm other ways to make the deal for second
basemen, but coul,. not mako the rifle.
Last year / offered $3.50 in cold, hard
cash for Abbaticchio, rather in check, had
the check made out in fact. but the deal
fell through. I'm here to say that l do
not think that Pittsburg got any the
worst Of that deal. We have: It's my
fault for I have been after change
OF Ritckey for Abbaucchio for two
years
This statement sounds remarkable from
the fact that two years ago newspaper
published story in eject that Dreyfuss
was trying to trade Rltchey. whereupon
Dreyfuss went almost into Mysteries OF
denial. claiming that someone was trying
to create hard feelings between himself
and his best players.
