He Was the Goat.

There was Il goat in our towa
And he was wondrous thin.
And yet wherever food was he
Was always butting in
And when he found the food was gone
He never scted blue
He merely ate the dishes and
He ate the table, too.
He ate family washing and
The clothesline at bite;
And then he ate a milestone, just
To whet his appetite.
He might have been there eating yet.
But that's an open question
He ate box of breakfast food
And died of indigestion,

He Is Now Ono of the Richest Fariu-
erx In Saskatchewan, Central
Canada.
Arriving in Canada in 1891, just
eighteen years ago. F.. A. Guillemin,
could speak but his native language.
He is a Frenchman He had but
little over s. in his pocket, thus be-
ing short over 81 of the $40 required
to secure entry for a homestead OF
160 acres. He eventually borrowed
the money. and near Forget, Sas-
katchewan, he started life in Canada
on the homestead in which to-day he
is the fortunate possessor of fifty quar-
ter sections OF land. OF 5000 acres.
Now Mr. Guillelnin did not acquire
all these acres as a result altogether
OF his farming operations, which were
extensive. He looked with satisfac-
ton upon what he was doing on his
limited area. he was saving, careful
and had foresight. Surrounding land
could be had for about SO per acre,
and he continued buying as his saw
ings would permit, until now he has
fifty quarter sections, some of which
he can sell at S25 per acre.
ThreShed Fifty Thousand Bushels.
This year he was engaged in thresh-
ing on his place for 54A2 days He
threshed out $4,000 bushels of wheat,
| of which he sold $4,000 bushels, one
train load, at price varying from
| "a to 81 cents per bushel. He has on
| hand still 10000 bushels. In addition
to wheat he raised 10000 bushels of
oats, 1000 bushels of barley and 500
| bushels of flax. He owns 104 horses
and number of cattle, but since the
construction OF the railway he has
been engaged chiefly in raising wheat.
| This year he bought his first threshlng
machine. paying for it the sum OF
So 100. He estimates that the machine
earned for him this fall $4,000, thus
paying for itself in one season, and
leaving him 5000 to the good. The
weather was very Dropitious for farm
threshing, not single day being lost
in the two months which were spen,
in this work The wheat averaged 2,
bushels to the acre and graded NO
i and No. Northern. In the pas
nine years, seven good crops have
been harvested on this farm. For si'
successive years the returns were cX
cellent, that Is in the years 1901. 1902

following years there was partia

years here, and perhaps this is correct,

counts.

showing of Cobb and Wagner as there
was In the outcome of the games. There
will be a similar contest this year If the
Athletics and Cubs meet, and IL will be
between Johnny Evers and Eddie Collins

which promise to figure in the world Sc.
ries. Evers is recognized as one of the
greatest base ball strategists in the his
tory of the game. while Collins is consid
cred the best second baseman in the
American League. all things considered.
Last year Wagner carried off the hon.
ors over Cobb. but Evers will have to &c
at a terrific clip to make a better showing
in the field. and at the bat than Collins

COLE HOLDS UP CUBS.
Young Twirler Having a Remarka-
BILE Season With Chicago.

King Cole is proving to the Chicago
Cubs this season what Edgar 'Willett and
Eddie Summers did to the Detroit Tigers
in 19OS-a life saver.
The veteran twirlers of the Cubs have
not shown the class this year that they
did in 1906-Os-0S. when the Chance ma
chine won the National League pennant,
OF in 1909, when they were runners-u2
TO the Pittsburg Pirates. But King Cole
has jumped into the breach and by his
own individual efforts has landed the
Cubs on top of the heap.
To date Cole has won fifteen Of eight
cen games. a percentage of .sSa, leading
all of the National League pitchers ex-
cept the veteran Deacon Phillippi OF
Pfttsburg, who has won nine or ten
games The Cubs have lead Of sever,
comes in the old league race. Where
would they be without Coles fifteen VIC
tories
The Tigers would never have won the
1905 flag but for the great work OF their
kid pair. Summers Won - OF 36, show
ing a .6S1 mark: while Willett pitched
in Is victories and defeats, .625 mark.

LIKE SHORT BATS.
Land and Stovall Improve After
Discarding Long Sticks.

Grover Land. the Cleveland catcher,
looks much improved and seems destined
to stay in the big league. Making four
hits in his first game was quite an au-
spicuous debut He looks in better shape
than ever, and appears faster on his feet
Land attributes his Improvement in
hitting to the use Of a short bat, the
stick he is now using being some eight
inches shorter than any bat he formerly
used. Land always liked to chase
curve ball. When using long bat ne
would invariably bite at wide break
ing curve With a short bat he knows
he has no chance going after roundhouse
curves, and consequently passes UP
number of bad balls that he used to fall
for Unfortunately for Grover, he broke
his bat on his fourth hit Monday. No
wonder he went hitless Tuesday.
Capt. Stovall is another believer in the
short bat for players who have pen
chant for chasing curve balls He has
boosted his average something like 80 per
cent since forsaking the long slugger for
the short, fat stick.

Schaub assumed the name of Ryan is
not generally known. At the close OF

Grant. manager of Evansville Und) Cen

him. Schaub refused to do so. saving
that he would not play professional ball
again this season, consequently when WIN
Clark wired him to come to Norfolk he
affixed Ryan to his contract.
From the beginning Buck Schaub proved
the sensation of the Virginia circuit. His
terrific speed prompted the dopesters to
call him the Walter Johnson Of that
league
Pitcher Schaub's record is an enviable
one. He twice shut out Danville, the

SPORTING COMMENT.
BY J. ED oRILLo.

Trying to figure the outcome OF the
worlds series on the dope the Athletics
furnished when playing the Giants five
years ago is very apt to lead one
astray. Connie Mack's team is not the
same now as it was then.
Bender, Plank, Harry Davis, Danny
Murphy. Topsy HartseI and Briscoe
Lord are the only members OF the present
Athletics who were with Mack when
they tackled the Giants five years ago.
Hartsel Is not playing regularly. He
gets into the fray only occasionally, and,
while Plank may not be the pitcher now
he used to be, Bender has not gone back
and Harry Davis and Dan Murphy are
just as good now as they were then. But
the improvement in the team has been
made possible by the acquisition of young
blood, which has made good with a
line on the Athletics by figuring them on
what they did five years ago. 1t is a
much more vulnerable team now than IL
was In 1905. But that may not amount
to anything when the Cubs are met. And
at that the Cubs do not appear to be
what they were a few years back None
OF Frank Chances stars has improved
II anything they have gone back, as do
all players who have been in the game
for years. but II cannot be very much. for

hAndily enough.
In their efforts to bring the champion
ship title back to the white race some
of the panic-stricken promoters and ad
herents OF the pugilistic game are paw
ing the way to keep Jack Johnson in pos
session of the title for many years to
come.
Trying to find some novice who can
beat Johnson seems absurd, and vet one
hears only unknowns mentioned as hav-
ing chance against the colored fighter.
Men without an experience are not going
to beat the conqueror OF Jeffries.
Tommy Ryan wants match for Con
OKelley, the Irish wrestler, whom he
has converted into fighter. Ryan says
that his protege can beat Johnson, and
yet O'kelley is an inexperienced hand at
the game. If Ryan is sincere in want
ing to match his man against Johnson
he should have him 60 out and beat lot
Of second and third raters to begin with,
thus proving that there Is something to
O'Kelley the wrestler when he attempts
to fight.
In the future rival managers will steer
clear Of Connie Mack when he wants to
trade any Of his ball players. His re-
cent trade With Cleveland whereby he
secured Briscoe Lord is the cause.
Infelder Rath, who was supposed to
be a good ball player. has made other
managers cautious Of Mack. Rath turned

land carried him for few weeks II
