Chaffee, a South Dakota millionaire,
$3.50 10 which he is now seeking to

Chaffee had been offered an in

sent his son, E. w. Chaffee, to pass

Young Chaffee met Miss Beesley at a
Los Angeles hotel, where she was en-

examine mines. He persuaded Miss
Beesley to elope with him and they

Chaffee, Sr., hearing no adverse re-

WALNUT LOG WORTH S15OS.
Dug From River Mud Where 1t Had
Been for Years.

Fort Gibson, Okla.-A single walnut
log taken from the sand n muck
OF the Arkansas river, two miles below
Fort Gibson, is valued at $150S by
its finder, G. l.. Dunn, a professional
timber hunter. 1t will be sem to
Hamburg, Germany.
The tree was so large hat it was
cut into four logs, the largest meas
uring more than five feet in diameter
and scaling about 1000 feet. A single
large limb had a diameter of two
feet.
The location of the tree in the
sand and muck of the river bank had
been known to a fisherman for a
number of years, and Dunn came in
to the information through the fish
erman. Several men worked three or
four days, excavating the tree, and
its delivery from the river to the rail-
read at Fort Gibson cost $3.50.

FISH USES NAIL CLIPPER.
Finds 1t Is valuable i'm Biting Lines
When Hooked.

Tarrytown, N. Y.-Fishermen who
have been trying their luck lately in
the Hudson river near here have been
complaining that something was bit
ing off their lines as clean as a whis-
tie.
The mystery was solved this norm
ing, when George Conklin landed a
big catfish. In its mouth was a pat
ent nail clipper with the point that
cuts sticking out of it's lower jaw.
Every time the fish opened and closed
its mouth the clipper opened and
shut.
The nail clipper was probably lost
overheard by some manicure girl
aboard a river boat, and the catfish
attempted to swallow 1t, but could
not and later found it a handy thing
to have about.
SO it is reported.

mean to alleged that the Y keeps the
glass for the purpose of getting a

tnat playing with the glass and with
a field defined as the one at the Y

overcome. and there isn't that much
difference in the playing strength OF
the Two fives.
1T looks TO me as though the atti-
tude OF the Y management was the
same as that of the fighter whose
manager said: Sure. my man will
fight you, but we've got TO put a

Would you think il possible for a
pitcher TO lose two games In one day
without pitching full inning In. either
game or even retiring one batsman?
You might figure 1t out, but I will
tell the story as Fred Tenney related
IL 10 me.
Boston was playing a double-header
in Cincinnati. In the last half of the
ninth Cincinnati went TO the bat with
the Bostons two runs In the lead and
began TO touch up the pitcher so hard
that, with no one out. Tenney called In
Wilhelm 10 finish out the game.
The first four men up lined out safe
hits and won the game then and there
Tenney, thinking that Wilhelm
punishment was one OF the chance In
cidents OF baseball. sent him In 10
pitch the second game. The first Ave
men mp made hits, and those Ave safe
wallops scored enough runs to win the
game
Tenney told this incident to a grouD
OF old-timers at the recent meeting OF
the major leagues. and was voted the
