A Lincolnshire bull sué lenly evinced a hatred for its owner, and the farmer had need of the greatest agility to avoid the animal whenever he happened to be in the same field | with it. With every one else on the farm the bull was as gentle as could ; be, and even would come to the farm hands to be petted in response to a peculiar call. One day a farm hand working in a field saw the bull, which was grazing in a meadow near by, walk to a gate leading to the yard of the house, lift the latch with his nose and pass through. In the yard was the farmer, asleep in a chair tilt- ed against the side of the house. The bull seemed to know that the farmer was asleep, and stealthily approached him. The farm hand, real- izing what the animal was about, ran with a pitchfork to try to pre- vent the impending murder, but he was too late. The bull paused within half a dozen paces of the sleeping farmer, lowered his head and made a ack on | furious rush, pinning the man against the side of the building and killing! him instantly.

Neatly Tricked by Young Rascals’ He Intended to Capture. Darriage Used Hiding Place Almost Proves His Undoing—Is Driven to the Country and Has to Pay His Fare Back Again, A Milwaukee man was recently ap- pointed to the police force of a city 2p in the state, and being from the ‘city’ was anxious to show his brother patrolmen how to do things m real metropolitan style. It chanced that the new officer was detailed to a beat on which was lo- sated the opera house, and he was given special instructions to watch the crowd of small boys, who for weeks had been a source of great an- noyance to the manager of the the- ater. On the evening when a particular attraction was billed house, says the Milwaukee Sentinel, the policeman noticed the boys as asual hanging about the front doors and creating no small disturbance. Now as a matter of fact boys in the small towns have a way of dodging ‘| police officers even as they do in the cities, and the new policeman, realiz- ee this, thought that he would work a plan which would be the means of making him a much-talked-of sleuth pt the central station. A number of hacks and carriages were standing at the theater en- trance, and the new policeman, after, as he thought, eluding the gaze of the youngsters, crossed in the shadow of the street and ensconced himself on the cushion seats of a hack, ready in an instant to run out and grab the youthful offenders. But he did not Aekey the kind of youngsters he had to leal with. eyes watched him cross the street, and it was not long before a boy’s voice told the driver of the hack, who was taking a drink in a near-by sa- at the play- THE NEW POLICEMAN More than one pair of A YELL TO STOP. loon, that the policeman was snooze ng in the vehicle. a moment’s discussion n of revenge was de- whipped and going at a mad rate of speed down the street. There was a yell from inside to stop, but the driver never heard. Around corners and over erossings at a pace that made the policeman’s hair stand up with fright the horses dashed as he clung frantically to the seat to keep from having his head bumped against the top of the hack. The ride lasted for 15 minutes, and when the horses were finally allowed to settle into a walk and stop the dis- tance back to the policeman’s beat was reckoned by the hack driver at about four miles. Of course there was an argument, possibly some lan- guage that would not bear repeat- ing, but through it all the hack driver maintained an air of calm indiffer- ence until, in a last effort to contain himself from laughing, he made the proposition that the policeman pay his fare back to town. It was insult to injury in the of- ficer's eyes, but notwithstanding he remembered that the chief was at the theater and if ‘he was not seen upon the beat when the play was out ques- tions would be asked. Accordingly, with much loud talk, @ $2 bill was preduced, and the driver with profes- sional politeness opened the carriage door for his passenger to enter on the return trip. When the hack finally did come in sight of the opera house there was a scattering of small boys, but it was not done quick enough for the new officer te escape hearing the delight- ed peals of laughter as the last tat- tered coat and cap whisked around the corner.
