B|DDY LOVES HER DoBB|N
Which She Follows Wherever
He Goes.

M'KEEVER, N. Y, Nov. 30.-Henry
Ransome, a farmer living near here,
has a leghorn hen a year and a half
old which is happy unless it
is near a horse he uses for general
farm work. The attachment is mu-
tual and strong, and where you find
one you are pretty sure to find the
other.
A year ago last spring a biddy made
a nest in Dobbin's manager and re-
fused to get out. AS the horse offer
ed nc objections, Mr.. Ransome left the
hen undisturbed, and in due time she
1t was one of this flock that took a
shine to Dobbin. At first the horse
didn't pay much attention to the lit
tie one, but after a time, as he seemed
to miss it when it was hut up in the
hen house, it was given the run Of the
barn.
When Dobbin went into the field to
work the chicken followed, always
keeping in sight of the horse, and
when the work was done it returned
and roasted on the headstall. This
kept up for many weeks, and all the
time the attachment grew stronger.
Finally, one day Mr.. Ransome's road
mare went lame, n he drove old
Dobbin to the village. Before start
ing he shut UP the hen, but she man.
aged to get loose and start in pursuit.
Helped by her wings, she made fast
time, and when Mr.. Ransome was
about a mile from home he found
her trailing at the wheel. Since then
she has accompanied Dobbin on the
road as well as in the fields.

The Roundup

He MornhSes on Auto Racing
and Lampoons a Pugil-
ist or T1vo.

Talk that the Vanderbilt auto race,
2ow an annual fixture in the east, will
be abandoned has given rise to wide
spread comment. The great danger
attending the contest is the reason CIV
en- for the feeling that the event should
be crossed from the programme. Now,
this lingo is all bosh. The race won't
be given up, for the people who pro-
NOTED it in the first place were look
ing for advertisement. The fact that
they got more publicity than they were
looking for, however, doesn't disturb
them in the least, and they started the

abandonment talk merely to quiet
the credulous public, which will bite
on any kind Of a hook, whether it is
baited or not.
The people forget" nee said a noted
politician, noted chiefly because of a
suddenly acquired fortune. He became
wealthy in spite of the fact that he
was a New York state senator. Yes,
the people forget. Next year, when
the Vanderbilt race is u again, they
will not remember the long list of &C
cidents that attended the rae in the
past. As of old, the spectators will
crowd at the turns and be carried off
in pieces on stretchers, shutters and
barn doors.
Next year the auto drivers will climb
telegraph poles in the same merry
fashion. The glory Of competing in
the great annual blue ribbon slaughter
will more than pay for their busted
craniums and punctured spinal cords.
Auto racing is all right on a track, but
it has no place on a country road, poor
ly patrolled and not fully fenced.
No, the promoters won't stop the
ice Maybe the local New York state
authorities will attempt to do so. How
ever, the promoters are millionaire
manufacturers, and, as they must have
advertising, probably the authorities
can be ''perSuaded' to let the band
play on.

One Of the oldest examples Of un-

was a ChicagO-LOuiSville game played
at Louisville in 1899. Chicago won the
game. 2 to = How Louisville ever
managed to keep away from the plate
is a mystery. During the game the
bases were filled with Colonies exactly
twelve times. In every inning except
one the bases were full one or more
times. Yet on twelve hits, six bases
on balls, n hit by pitched ball, and
three errors. they made but one run.
Four times they had the bases full with
but one man out. Three times they
were full with none out. Yet each time
a man was either cut off at the plate OF

with the bases full, a little tumble by

THREE HEROES OF THE DISASTER
Three heroes saved what is left OF San Fran
cisco. They were the dynamite squad whlch
threw back the fire at Van Ness avenue. When
the burning city seemed doomed Admiral Nc
Gala sent trio of his most trusted men from
Mare Island with orders TO check the conhagra-
tion at any cost of life or property. With them
they brough. ton and half OF guneotton.
Captain NIacBrids was in charge of the squad
Chief Gunner Adamson placed the chasses ana
the third gunner set them off.
The detonations TO which the terrified city
listened all that dreadful Friday night meant
the saving of many lives. A million dollars
worth of property, noble residences and worth
less shacks alike were blown to dust, but that
destruction checked the fire.
The whole east side of Van Ness avenue from
Golden Gate to Greenwich, was blown up
block wide. though most of the structures stood
untouched by sparks or cinders. Not one charge
failed Not one building stood upon its founda-
tions
Though the ruins burned. they did so feebiy
From Golden Gate avenue north the fire crossed
the wide street in only one place. That was at
the Claus Spreckes home. I'm California street
There the flames were writhing up the walls
before the dynamiters could reach 1t. They made
their way to the foundations, carrying their
explosives despite the furnace-like heat. The
charge had to be placed so swiftly that the ex-
pIosion was not quite successful from the trained
view Of the gunners. Though the walls still
stood. it was only an empty victory for the fire.
FLAMES UNABLE TO LEAP TRENCH.
Captain MacBride's dynamiting squad realized
that a stand was hopeless except on Van Ness
avenue They could have forced their explosives
