The hrush's Song

WTH HEN the beech-trees are green
IN the woodlands
And the thorns are whitened
with May.
And the meadow-sweet blows and
the yellow-gorse blooms.

And l sing through the lveIong

From the golden dawn till the

And sing of the joy of the wood.
lands,
And the fragrance of wildwood
flowers,
And the song of the trees and the
hum OF the bees
In the honeysuckle bowers,
And the rustic of showers,
And the voice of the west wind
calling as through glades
and green branches he
scours.
When the sunset CLOVIS over the
woodlands
More sweet rings my lyrical cry
With the pain Of my yearning to
be mid the burning
And beautiful colors that lie
Midst the gold OF the shutdown
Where over the purple and GRIM
son and amber the rose-pink
cloud-curlS fly.
Sweet, sweet swells my voice
through the woodlands
Repetitive. marvellous, rare;
And the songbirds cease singing
as my music goes ringing
And eddying, echoing there,
Now Wild and now debonair,
Now f1lrd with a tumult OF pas

BULLFIGHT WITH
HEADLIGHT FOR
SPOTLIGHT
Fireman Attempts to Run
Animal From Track; A
Hand to Horn En-
counter.

With the engine headlight as a spot
light, man and steer met in a hand
to horn combat about IA miles out of
Ell Paso as Tuesday nights Drummer's
Special paused on the Ell Paso & South
western right of way to see the fight.
As regards injuries. the man got quite
the best of it, but as for falls, the steer
came out victor.
Just as the mixed train had passed
Marathon engineer Andy Struthers saw
the form of a Texas long horn directly
in front of mis- engine. Instinctively,
the engineer threw on the brakes, and
Mr.. Steer galloped safe distance ahead
of the engine. The engine and train
proceeded slowly and the steer ran on
between the tracks.
Fireman to the Fray.
Then it was Sat fireman H. R.
Klinklesmith, better known as Doc"
rose up in all the manly glory OF his
six feet three and said: ''Lemme at
i'm" The engine was stopped and the
fireman sailed forth TO meet the ami
NAL. In cowboy Tashion. the man
grabbed the steer by the tail, and at
tempted a pretty throw" But the
animal wheeled quickly. and butted
the aggressor fair in the breast. Down
went the man with the steer on top.
1t appeared to those on the train
that the gallant fireman surely would
be gored. But not so. A booted foot
shot out, and landed on a large, brown
nose, and with a howl of*pain the steer
retreated. But without more heSita-
ton the animal charged again. The
fight had just begun.
Twice Thrown, But Victorious.
Twice was the steer thrown to the
ground, once by a grip on either horn
and once by twist of horn and leg.
But three times was the man thrown to
the ground. At last the steer charged
and catching Kinglesmltn in the side
sent the man flying through the air,
and into the darkness of the siding. And
then the animal charged the engine,
once twice, ramming the pilot with a
shatter of steel and horn. At last the
steer snorted a cry of victory and dis
appeared in the darkness. The big
fireman badly bruised but unsnaken.
climbed into the cab and the train pro-
ceeded.

it had any bull fight faded for SO cross

viewed.
