FIGHTS STEER LIKE URsUs.
Chicago Man Battles With a Mad
 dened Animal in Street.

Like the heroic Ursus, who wres- tied with a bull in the arena, John Maffey clung to the horns of a mad dened steer which had escaped from the stockyards yesterday morning. while children and other pedestrians fled in safety.
 For fifteen minutes Maffey, who Is only 23 years old, kept up his bat tie with the animal, and was about to fall exhausted when the police ran up and shot the steer. Then the young man was taken to his home by the bluecoats.
 The steer. which had just been brought in from the west, butted through a railing surrounding it's pen in the Morris & Go plant and be- fore cowboys could intercept + dashed through an open gate at For ty-ffth street and Ashland avenue.
 Children were playing in the street, and they fled in panic. Sev- eral dogs ran in front of the animal, barking at it, only to be gored to death. Maffey was walking in Ash land avenue, near Forty-fifth street, when the animal came laundering along. It's head was lowered, and 1t was making directly toward Maffey. Without hesitation he seized the steer by the horns, already red with the blood of the dogs, and chung to the beast desperately. A number o; men gathered about the two ana watched the battle.
 Don't stand there looking" Mai fey panted. For Gods sake, help me, or this steer will kill mel"
 A call was sent to the New City police station, and Policemen Jor- dan, Loula and Mccall responded. Maffey was struggling feebly, and seemed about to fall. While he held on the policemen opened fire. Shot after shot struck the animal, but II only snorted and jumped. Finally q shot from Policeman Jordan's revol- yer struck the beast in the head and it rolled to the ground mortally wounded.
 Maffey sank to the ground ex. hausted. Two more shots finished the work.
 A patrol wagon took Maffey to the station, where it was learned that he was uninjured except for a few bruises.-Chicago News.

 R. M. P.-Please tell me the dis tance from New Orleans. going west, along the boundary of the United States, to the starting point, and the names of the presidents of the railroads one would follow;
 A. There are no railroads along much of the boundary, as you will see by consulting map. In other places there are variety to choose from. The coast line, including the larger indentations, is estimated at 22,609 miles. To this must be added the northern frontier oi S,350 miles and the Mexican. 1,500 miles-a total of 27,459 miles.

 A. He received 336 votes in the electoral collage, against 40 for Parker. CD Make a tonic of 10 ounces of bay rum. 20 grains re- sourcin and drams cantharides. Apply it to the scalp each night, massaging ten minutes. For black heads apply a skin food till the flesh is thoroughly softened and then force them out with a tool to be found at druggists then apply hot water and anoint with green soap. For oily skin consult your doctor. (3) Restless, kind and honorable, trustworthy, for the first date: for the latter lovers of music, happy and agreeable.
 H. D. TT have been informed that in a thunder shower. as soon as the thunder dies away, begin and count until you see the lightning and that you will then know how many miles away it is. Is this true? (2) What is the horoscope of persons born January 22, April 19 and December 5-8? Where is there to be found book containing horoscopes for every day in the year?
 A. I don't quite see your point. The light is seen before you hear the sound. Sound travels about 1000 feet a minute, while light travels almost instantaneous. If thunder follows lightning in say seconds, then the flash is about a mile away (2) One born Janu- ary 22 should be sunny in disposi- tion, quiet and dignified and suc- cessful with people.

and the East Indian islands. and the berries are much valued for their use in diseases of the urinary sys- tenn and the bronchial tubes. There is an African cubeb, but it is with out medicinal properties. + l Cherry Tree-Can a person own | ing a cherry tree whose branches project over another persons land l legally object to this other person picking the cherries or cutting off the limbs projecting? 1 A. He cannot prevent the neigh bor taking the fruit over his own land Whether it would be lawful for the latter to cut the limbs, en- dangering the life of the tree, is a question for lawyers. | -?- Reader-I desire to get a book that will inform me as to how the translators of King James's version of the English Bible passed on the inspiration and authenticity of its books Please name work that will give details in full?
 A. A history of the translation may be found in any encyclopedia, probably. Chambers has it. It may be that the question of inspira- tion and authenticity did not enter in.
 W. L. G.-After reading an ar- ticle on fake antiques, I wish to ask if you can tell me anything about the age of a 'grandfather's clock" I have. On the face of the dial Is "S. Hoadley, Plymouth" l A. Samuel Hoadley was a pion- eer maker of clocks at Plymouth. Conn. In 1910 he formed a part nership with Seth Thomas, of clock fame, and the partnership contin- ued till 1925 or later. Probably your clock was made prior to this partnership.
 S. B. C.-How can make altar of roses?
 A. It is prepared by the distill- ation of the petals of roses. chiefly l in India and Persia. Or it may be obtained from rose water by plac- ing large ,open vessels filled in the open air during the night and early in the morning skimming of the essential oil which will be found floating on the top. By the first method it is said that 100000 roses will yield 1S0 grains of altar. So you see the first requisite is rose farm.
 + F. A. M. C.-For what reason was the eagle chosen as the em- blem of the United States, and why the lion and unicorn by England?
 A. The choice fell on the golden eagle doubtless because it is pecu- liar to North America. and the eagle
