men and department officials. AS
the full significance OF the news be-
come apparent there was rush for
the telegraph offices, and soon the
glorious message was transmitted to
every important section OF the coun-
try as an inspiration to the patriotic
millions who today are celebrating
the one hundred and twenty-first an
niversary OF American independ-
ence.
There is no doubt OF the correct
ness of the information. Confrma-
ton came later on, in the form of a
formal dispatch, brief but sufficient.
The administration officials were
cautious in handling the news of vic
tory. Leaks there were in plenty,
but when approached for conhrma-
ton of the rumors each department
official pleaded ignorance, some de-
ry1Eg that any sort of message had
been had. AS stated, this was to
avoid the grievous disappointment
possible in the receipt later of con-
tradiction. A Star reporter was in
formed by General Miles as late as
II O'Clock that he had given out no
information concerning the alleged
vlctory-this when he was told of the
rumor that coupled his name with
the PRONUNCIATION OF the announce
ment of victory. When at II o'clock
the President was interrogated as to
the advisability of making the dis
patches public, he smilingly assented,
and soon after there was fresh zest
given to the celebration OF the glor-
icus Fourth, then but just begun.

He Killed The Bull.

James Rath was the proud possessor
of a Jersey Bull with pedigree extend
ing back to the Isle of Jersey and the
Norman Conquest. 1t is said that he
was imported by the Jersey Lily, sired
by thoroughbred, and damned by the
small boy who came in contact with
his bullship, all on account of his seem
ing desire to paw into the bowels of the
earth and to toss the small boy over
the moon.
And the boys claim that several of
their fellows have lost square yards of
patches from off the loose enu of their
pants in their haste to get over the
wire fence and out of the field occupi-
ed by the irate bovine.
But this scion of Jersey is no longer
lord of all he surveys. He ran up
against George Allen and stopped.
George seems TO be something of a
modern David and when his bullship
looked wild at him through the wires
of his cage, George deliberately pitch
ed a pebble into his skull so forcibly
and accurately that it brought him low
And the bull will below no more for
ever.
