laid az for couple of days after an
adventure with the same animal. TIE

Blunt was the first TO essay the role
OF a matador. He went into the lot
whore his COW was pastured with the
YoIl, cattle and was chased by the
bull VuiDh apparently resented the
intrusion. PANT ran and was just
climbing Inc fence when the bull

snorted but Laplante wasn't afraid
an didn't move The bull came clos

waxing his tail like q semaphore. La

him and this he threw at the animal.
That was too much for Mr.. Bull He
came straight after Laplante who. too
late, turned 10 run towards the fence.
The bull caught up To him and soon

about thirty feet Laplante landed. The
bull was there almost as soon as La
plante and devoted mis- attention 10
the PROSTATE man, paving him with
his hoOfs and tearing his clothing
with his horns. Fortunately the horns
grew almost straight out from the

horns been i'm such a position as tol

OUTCOME is REGRETTED.
Congressman Young Disappointed Taft
Cannot Visit Houohton

President McNair of the Michigan
College of Mines has made public a let
ter from Congressman Young, show
Ing that the congressman cannot be
blamed FOR the presidents decision not
To visit Houghton. The text of this
letter follows:
'Ishpeming, Mich, Aug. %, 1s11.-
r. w. McNair. Houghton, Mich. My
dear Mr.. McNair: In my conversation
with Mr.. Foster, assistant secretary 10
the president, before leaving Washing
ton, he asked me II | still considered
It essential that the president should
go TO Houghton IL he came to Mar
quette / assured him that l did so
and that also considered il essential
that he should come in October in
stead of September. He took n MEM
orandum of my statement and prom
Used TO lay IL before Mr.. Hilles and the
president. l was therefore not only
surprised but chagrined when / re-
ceived Hille's telegram yesterday. In
my statement TO Foster / had entered
into the whole subject fully and given
my reasons, but before saying any
thing TO the Marquette people. / wired
Hilles again. After receiving his re-
ply, in which he refused to change
the program, IL seemed 10 me there
was nothing further TO do than to in
form the Marquette people and have
them go ahead.
mo one can regret the result as to
Houghton more than | do and | very
much fear that many people there will
suspect that the real truth is that the
president determined he could only
give us one day in the upper peninsula
and that l selected Marquette as the
place. Nothing could be farther from
the truth and I think you know this
The stop at Marquette was to be i'm the
original plan only an incident to the
visit To Houghton, for which you had
worked SO indefatigably and with
such earnestness and slrewdness. II
was entirely unaware of the fact that
the president had written to the mayor
at Marquette accepting his invitation
to visit that city until the president
told me OF il as an accomplished fact.
regret this outcome more on your
account than on my own. but / can
not feel that | have been in any way
to blame or in any way derelict i'm
pushing the interests of Houghton i'm

WATER STREET MACApAM.
Commissioner Mclean Completes Work
on Bituminous Construction.

Street Commissioner Mclean, Mon
day, completed the job of bituminous
macadam paving ON Water street.
which has been in progress for several
weeks. The work includes 1900 square
yards of construction and extends from
the corner of Bridge and Water streets
to opposite the city landing.
Commissioner Mclean says that at
no time during the progress of the
work has the street been closed TO
travel and gives as one of the reasons
for the length of time, which the job
has hung on, the necessity of keeping
one half of the street open all the
time. Delay was also caused by the
time taken for the street railway and
other public service corporations to
do necessary work before the macadam
could be put down. Commissioner Nc
Lean believes that with the top mix
tire. which he has used for binder.
nc has succeeded in constructing a
surface much superior to that obtain
ed by the penetration method and one
which will stand the ravages of time
without raveling.
Work upon the short piece of ma
cadam construction in front of the Au-
gusta House and in the vicinity Of
Grove street junction will probably be-
gin in few days.
