a small caster on the end and dangled the apparatus out of the window. Ahe game was to hit pedestrians on the head. He scored high and collected a mob on the sidewalk. In the act of angling after a baldheaded man who was walnlng along without his hat, William slipped. His toes caught on the window sill General Wheeler grabbed him and hauled the lad back

 You made me miss that man," said William, responsibility.
 The elevated road and the elephant at Lincoln Park came in for a share of Will Hams attention.
 Give me that spike; want him to trot," commanded William of the man wno was steering the elephant with huge goad. The man unwisely relinquished the goad and William immediately sunk 1t to the hilt in the elephants side, The elephant started off to lower the unpaced mile record. Sev- eral nice little Chicago children with pink frocks and bare legs who occupied procen- ium boxes on the elephants back were scared into an appalling state Of blueness about the face. After the elephant had knocked over three summer houses, a dozen chairs and menaced score of baby car riages the man with the goad succeeded in subduing the animal.
 That was the time we rattled their slats, wasn't it?n' sweetly said William.
 One afternoon Mrs. Bryan took William out riding in an automobile She had friends with her, so William had to sit with the operator.
 Ma, let me run it," pleaded William; "I want to, Ma; please let me, Ma, please do."
 "No William, you'd better not" replied Mrs. Bryan, you haven't license, and the police might arrest you.'
 William grew confidential with the op- orator. The operator was not touched by fattery or cajolery. A compromise was finally arrived at, by virtue of which, in

STEER RUINED A BULL FIGHT
Texas LongHorn Had Ideas of Sport

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 resident of Des Moines, Iowa, was a witness to a Spanish bull fight at Seville, Spain, few years ago, in which one of the animals in the amphitheatre was a Texas steer. A steer he says, will never attack horse or a man on horseback. A man on foot he may kill, but a man on horseback he will not molest. He also does not shut his eyes when he charges, while a bull takes his line and then shuts his eyes and charges, never deviating from the line his sight gave him before he closed his orbs. This it is that enables the toreador to step so easily out of the way, for the bull not seeing, makes no attempt to reach the man when he has moved from the spot he oc- cupied when the bull charged.
 ''The only trial of the Texas steer," con- tinued the Iowan, was pulled off at Se- vile, and while they intended potting sev- en the first one they let loose gave them all they wanted and quickly brought that experiment to an inglorious finish. After

BRyANS NAUGHTY SON AND
 SOME OF HIS AMUSING FRANKS

Chicago is getting back its breath. The sphere of activity of William Jennings Bryan, Jr., has been transferred from Chi- cago to Lincoln. Mike, the celebrated tom rat of the Auditorium Hotel, which was the storm center of most of the young mans exploits, has emerged from the coal cellar and massaged his tail down to it's proper proportions. There is peace at Po- lice Headquarters and the hospitals have stopped responding to hurry calls from the Auditorium.
 Young MT. Bryan lived twenty years too late. Had he been on earth two decades ago, and in the enjoyment of his present good health, Pecks Bad Boy would have borne another name. That's what Chicago says, anyway.
 The capers and escapades of William while he was in Chicago would fill book. During his sojourn William attracted more attention than his papa. All of the news papers, after General Joe Wheeler caught him in the act of hanging by his toes from the sill of an eight-story window, assigned their best men to report the boy pro- ceedings. After it was all over William was graciously pleased to tell a Lincoln newspaper man that Chicago met with his approval.
 "Its a pretty good city," said William. ''The papers had a lot to say about me, but there was nothing in itThey've got a fair swimming place there but we've got . better one here in Lincoln. Still, it's fair town."-
 ', hile hls father was planning the cam- paign with his political friends and allies w illiam, who is 12 years old, got acquainted with the elevator man at the Auditorium. He sung the siren song of innocent boy hood to the elevator man and secured his confidence. When the elevator man wasn't looking William jerked the lever and sent the car bounding up at the rate of a mile minute. It stopped at the top with jar that rattled the elevator mans teeth and changed his political convictions. William smiled blandly and ventured the remark that the ''darned old thing got away from him."
 The reporters who were sleuthing his father were politely referred to by William in his conversation as rubber necks" Len Mike, the cat, got into the game. He. too was buncoed by Williams bland and child-like manner. Before he realized what had happened William had showed his head into a French vase and was essaying to convert the cats tail into the similitude of . true-lovers knot. Mike hied him away to the coal cellar and abided there until William had gone.
 One morning William got up early and, aided and abetted by close personal friend among the bell boys, enjoyed ride upon the back of a frisky 2-year-old colt owned by Tod Sloan. When he got back he paid formal call upon General Wheeler at his office in the Army Building.
 "Amuse yourself, William" said the Gen. eIal. William did. He spliced few hun dred small rubber bands together, hitched

consideration of his foregoing his right to run the automobile, he was permitted to preside over the gong. He did. If any one within a mile failed to realize that the Bryan automobile was coming 1t was deaf man who was nearly run down, because William kicked the steering lever and al- tered the course of the vehicle, causing it to pass close under the deaf mans bow.
 At the end of the ride the operator turned in a requisition for new bell.
 William went to bed early under parental duress on the last night of his stay at the Auditorium. He was locked in and the windows were nailed down. A bell boy stood guard at the door, After he had investigated the electric light so assiduous- ly as to cause the breaking of a circuit and the extinguishing of half a hundred lights on the floor, William retired. He arrived safely in Lincoln.

the steer had cavorted about the ring for a while they turned horse loose. The steer paid no attention to him. but the horse fearful of the unknown beast, would not advance. In came a helper with a sharp stick, and the steer, positively believing for joy, started, as the crowd supposed, for the horse By him the steer went in pursuit of the bigger game, and the helper shortly cleared the protective fence with ten feet to spare owing to the steers able assistance. The representative of the Tex as cattle trade went over that six-feot barrier as though it was a prairie dog mound of his native plains, but the helper won out to one of the protective boxes and safety
 'The steer did his best to get at him, but finding 1t impossible looked about for other game with which to sport. The stone seats are ten feet above the ground and this las always been an insurmountable barrier for bull, but they reckoned without their ps, as steer when they built them, for as soon as the steers eye lit on the throng above his head he stepped back and the next instant he was among them. Before the people could escape he had tossed half a dozen into the ring, but they were all rescued by the ring attendants. The stone seats cleared, the steer returned to the ring, and seeing no one else to throw down IIie gage of battle to, took the exact cen ter of the ring and beloved his defiance to the universe. In the meantime the man. ager had been busy and soldier with a Mauser rifle had been summoned from a nearby barrack. With the box rail as a rest, he took steady aim, and with the ping of the bullet the steers life ended, but the Spaniards have not experimented with American steers in Spanish bull rings since that time, nor are they likely to again. Like other things American, the Texas steer is not now popular in Spain."

President Brush is said to be negotiating

Joe Kelley to act as captain and manager
of the Cincirnatis.
Very few contracts. II any. have been
signed by the players for next season. Mat
ters look very pleasant for the players just

salaries will take boost all around.

been mentioned in connection with the Bos-
ton club, is considered by Manager Buck
enberger to be one of the best pitchers In
the Eastern League.
The Boston correspondent of the Sporting
News says that Duffy and Hamilton have
played their last games for the Boston club.
He looks to Barry and Freeman as
Stahrs partners next season.
Jesse Burkett takes pride In the fact that
he took part in every game played by the
Cardinals. He worked in 142 contests.
which includes the tie games played by the
local aggregation. Burkett was removed
once or twice. but began each day. and his
record is brilliant one.
Doubtless the most phenomenal exhibition
Of batting was that afforded by Hickman Of
New York In his first forty games he
made only 26 hits, with batting percent
age of less than 900 Soon after he braced
up and he did not fail to make a hit in
twenty-seven consecutive games. Finally
he ran his average up into the 800 class.

Donovan batted for .295, and this season he
is in the 300 class. In only % games did

magnificent showing was made by
young Barrett of Cincinnati in his last

the best find of the season among the out
helders. In 80 games toward the close of
the season he made 10 hits. with a total of
