On PugiIisft,

AID Wolgast is to try two bouts the
coming week He is to meet Frank
Conley in a six-round bout at Racine,
May 26, and will spar with JEFF
o'Connell three days later. Wolgast
has been doing good work in the
feather-weight class of late, ana ms
previous bouts with O'Connell have
resulted in one draw, while two de-
cisions went to Wolgast.
The ambition of the little Milwau-
kee boxer seems TO be the getting on
of a bout with Abe Attell. Wolgast is
now looming up as the most danger
Gus factor in the class, outside Of
the coast man, and it seems only a
question of time when the two will
get together
As it is also said that Wolgast may
take on Kid Taylor at Milwaukee
within a margin Of two days later,
thus making three bouts in five days,
ne would seem anxious to work up a
record like Oscar Gardner did in the
ring. Gardner was the busiest little
boxer that ever figured in his class,
and worked under singular sys-
TEN. He was paid a regular salary
by his manager and agreed to meet
any man of his weight the man.-,,
might desire, the latter making his
profits out of the purses.
The manager was a thrifty soul
who wished to pile up the receipts as
rapidly as possible. So he sent Oscar
against any person who would sign.
On several occasions Gardner enter
ed the ring when his head was
bound up as the result of cuts re-
ceived in previous battles.
He scored big success, however,
and If he had kept in the straight
and narrow path he might have piled
up a fortune. But Oscar commenced
neglecting his training, and one of his
last battles which was really Of note
was in st. Louis. when he met John
ny Richie. Richie won this on q
I foul, and Gardner entered the ring
in such a state that it did not appear
as if he could ever get down to
weight again.

oil Painting of a $4,000 Hen.

Secretary George i. Ellis OF the Mis-
sour State Board of Agriculture has 70
ceiycd from Ernest keIerstrau%S, owner
OF the Kellerstrauss farm, Kansas City,
life-sizo oIl painting Of the $4,000
Crystal White Orpington hen, ''PeGgy,'
declared by competent poultry Judges
to be the most wonderful hen they nave
ever seen. This painting, which has
been given prominent place in Secrn.
tary Ellis's office, and which will adorn
the new 100000 Agricultural College
building now under process OF cOnatruc
ton at Columbia, is the work of Miss
Alice Barber, well-known Kansas City
artist.
"Peggy" is almost as near perfection
as it is possible for a bird to be, her
score being 97I4. Mr.. Kellerstrauss has
refused 5000 For her, but he values her
at twice that amount. She has a record
OF 90 eggs per year: and her eggs ar"
readily sold al - each when her owners
will permit the sale OF them. "Peggy"
deserves and, by common consent, has
been given the title OF "Quecn Of Mis-
scuri Chickens"
Mr.. kelleTstraTsS is the originator Of
the Crvtal White Orpingtons and has
almost 5000 birds OF this breed on his
mode poultry farm near Kansas City.
Madame PadereWski paid him $500 for
a pen of five Crystal White Orpingtons,
which were shipped to her home in
Switzerland, last February.
At the Tri State fair, held at Mem
phis, Tenn, "Peggy" was presented
with a solid gold leg band set with dia-
mOnds 1t required four policemen and
some twenty fair officials to hold the
crowd back when the presentation was
made in the poultry building on the fair
grounds.
Missourians who visit the agricultural
admiration the beautiful oil painting of
"Pecgy,'' and will take pride in the fact
that Missouri, the "Poultry Queen of
the Union,'' has the honor of being the
lone of the highest priced hen in his
tory. But Missouri owes her proud
place in poultry not alone to the fame OF
one breed or bird. The humble hen-if
we may longer so refer to her-is bring
ing Missouri both wealth and fame, the
states surplus poultry products for the
year 1907 amounting to S44 1856, All, or
more, perhaps, than that of any other
state in the union.
So important has become the poultry
industry in Missouri that the State
Board of agriculture now has in prepa-
ton and will soon have ready for distri-
button an extensive poultry bulletin.

tribution while the supply lasts, may be

At a year old they are formidable, at

deadly than a sword. They afford a

very Ill tempered and when worsted in
fighting often revenge themselves by

CHANCES IN GAMBLING.
The Rule of the Unexpected at tn,

The Rule of the Unexpected at tho
Tables In Monte Carlo.
There are systems, some will say,
that will defeat the bank at Monte
Carlo. I have not found one. Two
factors settle all systems. One is the
banks limit, which prevents the dou-
bling system so often advocated; the
second, the extraordinary idiosyncrasies
Of chance. Red or black will often
run in long series. I saw fifteen reds
come up in succession on one occasion,
seventeen uneven numbers in al un-
broken series on another. One even
ing on a losing day I was playing on
the first six numbers and persistently
for some hours the last twelve num-
bers invariably turned up. Once 1 saw
p come up four times in succession
when mathematically it should have
taken IA coups to make it show that
number of times, and still more strange
that on this occasion each time it
came up a gentleman had staked the
limit on the number-namely, 1870
francs-winning in ten minutes some
thing owe $4,000 francs. One readily
sees by these instances the unexpected
very often happens-in fact, more Of
ten that not.-Arthur Hewitt in b.

Overload Of the Sea and the Daintiest
Feeder That Swims,

Overload Of the Sea and the Daintiest
Feeder That Swims.
The swordfsh is the overload of the
sea. Neither the whale, the shark nor
any other giant of the deep can con
quer him in private fight or public
brawl. Nevertheless he is peaceful in
the main and seeks the simple life,
amusing himself often with worldwide
travel and always with delicate gusta-
tory joys. He is the daintiest feeder
that swims, always kills his own game
and thereby insures its freshness,
wherefore his flesh is a delight to the
palate Of mankind and wherefore,
again, men go forth to kill him for
market and thereby at times fall upon
adventures that make the hunting of
tigers and the shooting of grizzlies pale
into pastimes for the weary weakling.
For the bold swordfsh is still hunted
in mode as primitive as that the Eski-
mo Uses to kill the stupid whale, and
often the sting Of the harpoon changes
this luxurious ocean gastronome into
a raging water devil, quick to perceive
his advantage, charging with the speed
of a bullet and the accuracy of a
swordsman up against the lone fisher
man IN the dory who tries to bring
him to gaf. Then must the fisherman
measure with exactness the lunge of
