To Make Hog Cholera Serum.

Madison.-To prevent the great
losses from hog cholera of last year
being duplicated during the coming
summer, the regents of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin have authorized the
veterinary department of the College
of Agriculture to manufacture hog
cholera serum. Sufficient serum can
be produced, it is expected, to meet
the ordinary demands and thus give
Wisconsin farmers an opportunity to
protect their animals with serum at a
reasonable price. The veterinary de-
partment is prepared to furnish in
structions for the checking of any
outbreak of hog cholera epidemics

the late King Christian *, sustained
his relations with the people in an
admirable manner, at once modest
and dignified
His long life was without incident
excitement or adventure. His earliest
impressions were those of the happy
domestic relations of his father and
mother, who, from a poverty which
had forced that father to spend part
of his time as a teacher of drawing
to the children of wealthy people, had
been lifted at one stroke to the an.
cient throne of Denmark
New King Happily Welded.
Christian Charles Frederick Albert
Alexander William, the new king OF
Denmark, has lived life that has
been notable for its domestic happi.

incidents. To the public outside O,

larly for his happy marriage with
Princess Alexandria, the elder daugh'
ter of the Grand Duchess Anastasia OF

from the union between royal fami.
lies, which are usually arranged for
political expediency. They were
welded at Cannes on April 26, 1898,
and have two sons, Christian Freder-
lex Francis Michael Charles Waldo
mar George, born March II, 1899, now
the crown prince, and Knut Christian
Frederick Michael, born July 81 1900.
The new queen Of Denmark is just
three months younger than her hus-
band, having been born on December
"a, 1870 King Christian x. was born
at Charlottenlund on September &c,

The present king is colonel Of the
One Hundred and Fourth regiment of
Prussian Hussars and knight OF
many orders, among them the Golden
Fleece, the Black Eagle, the Elephant,
the Annunciad. st. Andrew and the
Seraphim.
How Names Are Chosen.
The repetition of the names Freder-
lex and Christian in the members OF
the royal family of Denmark is not
able. This repetition is due to fam
lily law which requires that each son
shall bear the name of either Fred
erick Christian or Christian Frederick.
By the same law the monarchs are
crowned alternately as Frederick or
Christian. Thus the successor Of the
present king, whichever of his sons
it may be. will Ike known as Fred
erick TX
The name Knut or "Canute" reap
pears frequently also in the royal line
of Denmark, being borne by the
younger son of the present king. This

HUGH JENNINGS IS
QUITE ABRUPT AND
EXACT|NG At TIMES
Tiger Pitcher Found That
Manager Could Be
Most Active.

There are times when Hugh Jennings
leniency borders on the impossible. And
again. there are times when Hugh Is
quite abrupt and exacting. A former
pitcher on the Tigers pay roll found
that Jennings could be as active and
unanswerable as the most Of them.
This particular pitcher had been doing
indifferent work for weeks. He thought
that inasmuch as Detroit was not Ions
on twirlers he could go on about as he
pleased. But one day he awakened to
the fact that he was getting in wrong
with his red-headed manager.
Accordingly he set about to right
himself. He went out to Bennett Park
one morning and was speeding them
across when Hugh arrived.
"Oh, Hughie," he called, come over
here and watch me dry the ground"
Hughie came. watched, then re-
marked:
yeah, you're drying the ground,
but were not in need of sun spots Ii
this park"
That afternoon the pitcher was re.
leased and II was not until then tina,
he tumbled to what Jennings meant.

MANAGE MONTREAL

MONTREAL, Jan. 4.-Billy Lush, who

League in 1906, is said to be slated for
the managerial berth of the Montreal
team of the International League.
The announcement comes from an au-
thoritative source. although no official
statement has been issued from the
Montreal baseball office. 1t Is said that
negotiations have been completed for
the former outfielder to take the reins
of the club, and that the fact is well
known to prominent baseball moguls of
the league.
Lush was one of the fastest baseball
players that ever donned uniform In
the Eastern League. He played sensa-
tional ball for the Toronto team and his
work with the stick and In the field at
tracted outside attention and he was
sold to the Philadelphia Nationals.
Lushs strong point was In getting on
the bases and going the rounds, because
of his great speed. He did not get a
chance In the big league until he was
sold to Cleveland, and he was doing
great work when his baseball days were
cut short by a rowdy who threw a stone
at a Cleveland bus, and Lush's left eye
was injured so badly that 1t wa,
thought he would lose the sight. Thi,
was saved. but his playing days were
over. For several years he has beer
