The old saying Fear Of man rests

contempt for him when he is on foot.

track was confronted by large bull.
He occupied the center Of the road,
and with lowered head was believing

Now, the fireman had courage
enough, and the job to him seemed to
offer no particular difhculty. SO.
boldly and confidently. with consider
able brandishing Of his shovel, he
was proceeding to almost a striking
distance, when with a roar the bull
charged upon him.
The fireman sprang aside just in
time to save himself. and when the
buh turned and charged again tho
railway man dropped his shovel and
sought safety on the top OF large
bowlder near by.
Unable to get to the man, the bull
set up frightful din that soon brought
some 80 other members Of the herd
galloping about him. Quickly encir-

The engineer, thinking to aid the
fireman, sprang to the ground armed
with a coal pick. only to be chased

about for some other means OF
frightening the beasts. when cowboy

distinctly the burderline between the

that the NJ. r. & b 7. people may

From a private letter written by

band has been in SanDiego, Cal,
since last spring. we are permitted
to CLEAN the following:
Mr.. Wiley had severe attack of
his chronic trouble, and for some
days was in a critical condition,
but has now recovered and never
felt better, though somewhat reduc-
ed in flesh. Mrs. Wiley is feeling
very well indeed. She says, ri at

good time, and was treated nicely.

afternoon. OF course / was inter-
ested because it is the same office
had held. l could get into Club
work here easily, but really have
little time for it."
SanDiego is right on the coast,
and Mrs. Wiley says there are at
the present time twenty-seven Unit
ed States war ships in the harbor.
Her window permits her to see them
from the room. She says. eve went
out yesterday an dboarded the Ore
gon. There were thousands of others
who did the same wish YOU could
have been with us. The day was
perfect. and the harbor and feet
made a magnificent scene. Just as
our boat left the Oregon. they gave
the signal for pulling down the
colors. We got splendid view as
we pulled out from the starboard
side and rounded the stern. The
bugle plays while they loweN and
furl the flag. All the men stand at
attention. and at a given signal sa-
lutte the flag. All hands below. no
matter how employed. stop. face the

tie bugle plays. 1t is a beautiful
idea. and Is carried ont on all war
ships. The flag Is mfurled at sun
rise and furled at sunset. From

Is sunrise and sunset gun
Mrs. Wiley SAYS they expect to
stay there till after December, and
may not be back here for some
time after that. She promises to
tell of the ''equal suffrage cam

that if she stays there long enough

Association Agrees To Donate Name
Boards If Cities Will Put Them
Up and Keep Them

The season is we'll spent for 1911,
but the Chicago Motor Club Is look
ing forward to next year, getting
ready for even bigger things than
we're done the present season. Ex-
perience gives them pointers as to
what is needed, and it has been
found out that the United States Is
behind some OF the old countries OF
Europe in many ways. For America
the work taken up by the Chicago
Club is a bran new idea. A sign
board committee has been appointed,
and thew are at work. Their busi-
ness is to label the towns along the
lines travelled by motorists. The
Chicago Motor Club is hurrying
matters so as to have the credit OF
being the pioneer in bringing about
this innovation. The scheme is to
tag the towns. 1t has been found
that In many instances the tourist
does not know what town he Is conf
ing into, and has to stop and ask for
information. Mr.. Kuhn says that
many times machines drive into his
garage and ask what place this is,
having no idea of where they are.
A member of the Chicago Club was
making a run to Elgir. and did not
know when he came to Addison. nor
