over to see Mrs. Mckinley.
ms was an unexpected event and
calculated to make a lasting impres-

not the last, as circumstances CON

Mr.. Hotfecker. The fence was too far
away to reach in safety, and there was
left nothing for him to do but to plav
game of bluff" with the enraped
anlmal-that is, to show an eoual
readiness for fight. He stOoped and
picked up an old stick that would have
broken to pieces at the first blow and
started towards the bull, manifestino
IN voice and gyrations of his stick an
equal readiness for an encounter.
with him 1t was only ruse, but it was
etfectual in keeping the bull at a safe
distance, the circle ,idening until
Mr.. HOffecker got to place of
safety.
The Sunday following John p. Col
Inns went into the field. When the
bull spied him he started towards Mr..
Collins as if to make his acquaintance.
Mr.. Z. determined at once that il
would be better to have fence between
them, and he started for the road on a
quick walk. Shortly after he turned |
to look back and saw the bull on arun.
then 1t was "nip and tuck" which |
should reach there first. Mr.. Collins

with such force as to almost break the
fence and would have done so but for
the fact that it was right new rost
and rail fence. Monday, John Matti-
ord living on the farm. had similar
experience, and the presumption is.
hat the bull took visit on the boat ia
Philadelphia to-day, never to return.
