How His Hogs Might Have
Got Away.

Uncle Ephraim had two hogs, which
be kept in pen at the rear end of his
little lot. They were of the razor
oack" variety, and although they were
fed bountifully with kitchen waste,
it seemed impossible to put any fat
on their attenuated frames. One morn
ing when he went out to feed them
they were not there. They had dis
appeared, leaving no clew to the man.

cape.
Whats the matter, Uncle Eph?"
inquired a neighbor, noticing the deep
detection with which the old man was
looking down into the empty pen.
"My hawgs is done gone, sah,' he
answered.
"Stolen?"

anybody tuck EN-"
did they climb out over the top?"

How do you think they got away?"

Rather Tall.

THAT" said Senator Tillman of an
opponents argument, "is an amusing
exaggeration.'
He smiled.
"In fact" he continued, "it Is as
bad an exaggeration as the story
about Ben Johnson's height. They
said of Ben, you know, the candidate
for sheriff, that when he made a stump
speech, instead of getting a stump
ready for him to mount, they would,
because he was so tall, dig hole for
him to stand in"

JEFFRTES' TRAINING CAMP, ROW
ERDENNAN. April r. The much
talked Of first boxing bout at Camp
Jenries was pulled off this afternoon
In the big gymnasium with the retired
champion and sam Berger as the prin-
cipals. Il lasted three rounds. and
they were short ones, too. Everybody
who saw the fun admitted that JEFF
worked out nicely, but anybody could
have made a showing for that matter,
for Berger was big and fat and clumsy,
and all that JEFF had TO do was to walk
up and hit him with either hand.
The big fellow did not show the
speed that was expected OF him. He
was rather slow on his feet. much to
the surprise Of his trainers, for in the
past JEFF always showed nimbleness OF
foot
Occasionally Berger would pop JEFF
on the nose with his left and then JEFF
would look mad and tear at Sam and
sam would run for cover. and the train
ers and the boosters would cheer and
cry. Good boy. jim" X was just the
same old stun that is pulled of In

Armstrong, and when all was set for
the bout the big fellow ran right into
the gymnasium donned the gloves and
squared off. He did not draw a long
breath during the three rounds, though
he did perspire freely.
