BIG STEER ESCAPES;
 GOES ON RAMPAGE

With nostrils dilated and head held high, large red steer charged down Mulberry street recently, chas ing men and women into doorways and terrifying horses. He escaped at the stock yards while he was be ing unloaded from Kansas City Southern car. His attitude showed that he was on a rampage.
 At the Mulberry street crossing Charles Ross, section hand on the Kansas City Southern, didn't see the red monster until it was toe late With a mad rush the steer hit Ross in the back, knocking him down and trampling on him. He was finally driven off and Ross was rescued, but the steer was not caugh, not yet.
 Confident over his first victory the king of the pasture" started on down the street charging at anyone that got in his way and driving them all to cover.
 At the Mo- police station he stopped, went up to the dooway looked in, and gave defiant below. Lieutenant James and Officer J. J. Nolan, armed with clubs and broom sticks, went out to capture him. After chasing him round and round for some time, the officers called for endorsements. A section gang and a gang of street payers were called. Armed with street brooms, crowbars paving blocks, picks and shovels, 'he army marched upon him. The first advance ended with general scat ter of the men.
 The second attack was divided into two squads. While one advanc- ed in front of the terrible mon ster, another slipped up from be, hind. A we'll directed blow with a crowbar put the beast out of busi' ness long enough for the men to tie his feet securely. He was then loaded into a wagon and taken to the stock yards Kansas City Star.

Daniel Lamont's Story of How Fred

nifty That Later Made Grover
Cleveland President.

When Daniel S. Lamont, private sec
fetary to Governor Cleveland. private
secretary to President Cleveland, and
one of the latter's secretaries of war.
told me this anecdote he prefaced 1t
with the statement: 81 want to tell
you how a man you know might have
been president had he not deliberate
ly and with his eyes open chosen an
other path.
This man." pursued Mr.. Lamont.
then vice-president of the Northern
Pacific railroad, was comptroller of
the state of New York from January
!, 1877, to November 4. 1879. As
comptroller he gained great popular
ity throughout the state, and the high
est respect of business and financial
men generally. because of the efficlen-
cy and celebrity with which he carried
on the work of his department. So
brilliant, indeed, were this mans serv-
ices as comptroller that Gathering
offer was made to him to go back into
the banking business, which he had
left to become state officer.
THE comptroller went to Daniel
Manning and told him OF the offer.
Mr.. Manning at that time was score
tary of the Democratic state commit
tee. and then and later a great power
in the Democratic party. The two
men had been close friends for years,
and both lived in the same town
Albany.
Fred said Mr. Manning. when he
had heard his friend out. for many
years events have shown that the
office you now hold has been the step
ping stone for a good many men to
high political preferment in state and
nation. One of your predecessors be-

Davenport was nominated for cover.

record as comptroller. Governor TIL
den told a young Democrat ambitious
TO advance politically. to make his
first mark in the public service in

Fred, you have a splendid record
as comptroller. You have gained wide
popularity and especially the good
will and esteem of the business ele-
ment of the state Your father was
member Of the Albany regency, which
largely controlled Democratic politics
in state and nation for so many years.
You have been raised and stepped in
the Democracy of Van Buren, and of
Tilden. You are not unaware of the
present intention of your friends

opinion, IL you remain In politics you

How He Found Base Line for the Gl-
gantle Work of the United States
Coast and Geodetlc
Survey.

The scientific organization of the
United States coast and geodetic sur
vey, which has for its original and
principal purpose a survey of the
coasts of the United States primarily
for the benefit of commerce, dates
from 1882. Field work was begun the
following year under the superintend-
ency OF Ferdinand r. Hassler, the eel
ebrated Swedish engineer
who for many years was at the head
Of this important work. and who, for
two years. beginning In 1916, conduct
ed coast survey operations In the vi
cinity of New York. But IL is from
1882 that the present survey Of our
coasts really dates; and according TO
two authorities In the railway world
1t was due to a suggestion made by
the father of Whistler, the artist, that
satisfactory base-line was found for
the present survey, which has re-
suited in the accurate mapping of our
entire coast line, both east and west.
The story was originally told me
years ago by the late James d. Laying,
for many years high placed railroad
executive both in the east and the mid
die west and few days ago 1t was
confirmed by DR. p. H. Dudley. the
noted railroad metallurgist, who holds

Because Of Broken Promise James NJ
Tyner Helped Defeat Blaine for
Presidency, and Always Re-
GREETED His Revenge.

This story was told to me by the
late James N Tyner, who served in
congress from Indiana from 1869 to
1875, was postmaster general during
the last year of Grants second admin
istration, afterwards becoming assist
ant attorney general of the depart
ment, resigning therefrom in May,
1903. met General Tyner when he
was an old MANN fact. shortly after
his resignation from the department,
when he was under accusation for I'm
proprieties in Office:
Il have learned to expect ingratitude
and false frfendship-indeed my ex-

Il was N congress when James G.

Might Have Reached the Top

as splendid record as governor as
you have as comptroller the eyes OF
the nation will be upon you. and no
man can say what will then follow In
your political fortunes
About this time" continued Mr..
Lamont there was abundant evil
dence that the Republican party In
the state was TO undergo most serious
factional disturbances during the next
few years. The sores made by sew
eral old rows had not yet healed:
there was an element In the party
that was planning to bring about the
nomination of Grant for president the
following year, and there was an ele-
ment equally determined to prevent
that nomination. The comptroller,
shrewd political observer that he was,
must have realized that Dan Man
ming was not talking without a full
weighing of the situation; he must
have realized the political possibilities
that lay before him. especially as he
was fully aware of the plan of Man
ming and others to work for his nomi-
nation as governor in 1882 Yet the
comptroller reasoned in this way:
Politics. while fascinating, is uncer-
tain. No one can tell how long per
sonal or party popularity will last,
