FOUGHT WITH RAILROAD TRAIN
Herd Of Infatuated Bulls Held Thel,
Own In Combat With Masteg~ ss So
!, s:E@ piece Of Man. ="

At q point on the railway line be-
tween Mirabel and Canaveral, on the
Spanish side of the boundary line be
tween Spain and Portugal, there oncs
occurred an odd sort of bullfght.
4 A train had just come out on q
sweeping curve from the hills and
down upon little plain when the en-
gineer saw directly before him a herd
Of bulls on the tracks. The engineer
blew his whistle vigorously and all
the bulls fed, with the exception OF
one great fellow, who made straight
for the train with horns lowered and
roaring defiance. Il J, ~.
D. 1t was too late to prevent a collision
and the bull was killed, but his car
scass, lying under tho wheels of the
locomotive, prevented the train pro.
5ceeding. Passengers and crew united
to clear the track. In the meantime
the great herd Of bulls, seeming the
blood Of their dead leader, came flock.
ing back, paving and threatening. The
nearer they came the more Infatuated
they grew, and finally they charged
like q whirlwind on the little band Of
workers. .s.2 Z. &. Y
y Then all the men abandoned their
task and took refuge In the cars. The
bulls followed them to the very steps.
believing and paving. Soldiers aboard
the train tried to stampede the ami
mails with stones. The bulls recoiled,
charged again, recoiled once more;
and for two hours the battle ragged,
victory now seeming to be with one
side and now with the other. At last
as night came on, the bulls withdrew
and betook themselves to some dis.
stant shelter. Then the employees and
passengers were able to set to work
again. The track was cleared and
the train proceeded on Its way.

The Quality Of Being Considerable.

Ask the average person who
are the ladies and gentlemen of
a community and he will invaria-
bly, point out the society leaders,
the fashionables and the rich,
with a possible allusion to 'old
families. But it is. not So
cial prominence, or fine clothes,
or the dollar mark. or q bluer
tinge of blood that makes a gen
tleman.
It is the heart of him that sets
him in the class, the principles of
good behavior and good breeding
the fine quality of being ccnsid-
crate of others. The fashionable
man who keeps his suave man.
ners for use with his dress suit
is only near-gentleman com
pared to the one who remembers
to speak politely to the employees
of his Office, who gives up his car
seat to an old woman as readily
as to pretty girl, who carries
his courtesy into his home circle
and does not subjece his wife and
children to rudenesses he would
not offer a competent cook. lest
she "give notice. /"
The quality Of considerateness
is the essence Of gentility. The
angry Italian fruit huskster
drew the line taut and clear when
he said of two women: "She
ladee; she look, and she buy Or
she No buys but disa cne,, she no
ladee. she handle de tomato and
she pincha de fruit. and if she
no buy, zen it rot" The woman
who pinched the fruit and ban-
died the tomatoes was ultimate
selection; she did not stop to
realize that she was in1icting any
injustice on the vendor. With
the other woman it was differ
ent; she looked for the best, but
remembered to leave no bruise
that would lower the value of
what she did not purchase. 1t
was not in her to defraud a poor
street hucksUer. He selected the
''ladee" with unerring instinct.
Being considerate is being un-
selfish; it is merely the habit of
remembering. always and all the
time, that other people have feel
ings, and that self is not the
dominant note of conduct. So
cial prominence can not hide the
'commonness" of selfishness,
the dollar mark can not efface
the stamp of ill-breeding.
To be considerate is to be a
gentleman, to be thoughtful and
kind is to be a lady. -Ex,

Election Aftermath h

Some have said many things about tray cling men. Many have complained of the inadequateness of the English language in properly describing them, but few Ii any have called them poets. However, the following is by N. J. Simmons, one of the local travellers, entitled, Election Aftermath:
 T told you so, the bluff Bull Moore
 said
 In tones most grabbed and hearty. Now you take the blame on your vile
 head
 The defeat of the Grand Old Party" The Elephant with pensive glance Replied in language most jolting, "You. you slew the Grand Old Partys
 chance
 By your sacriligious bolting." They stood hotly each other eyeing A shifting and then a blowing; Then they embraced and fell to criyng, For they heard that Rooster growing. The Elephant said to the Bull Moose; That blame bird has got his frills on, Marse Sam has turned us both aloose. And took to that Woodrow Wilson, The Bull Moose said to the Elephant: My heart hurts bad and so do yours; Let's stop our perfdious rant
 And deeply bury all old scores Each said: The country is going to ruin By those democratic antics; I've scented afar the storm a-brewin A whole multitude of panics. " Our Special Privilege cause Is lost As sure as the very dickens, Marse Sam has handed to us the frost And is chumming with that chicken The Rooster stood high up on the fence With an air sedate and knowing He serenely heard this rot nonsense, Then woke the natives a-crowing. Then Uncle Sam came walking around More jolly and glib than used to- Said: I'm glad those four legg'd beasts
 were down'd tr
 By my democratic Rooster Those blooming beasts have deceived me
 so,
 I'm utterly disgusted; My Rooster gave them knockout blow And sure they are badly "wusted.' Hurrah, l can take a peaceful rest, And of my own house be master, For the grit that's in that Boosters
 breast
 will assure good times hereafter

As an example of this ho cited the fact that it Is the invariable policy of the state association to advise the Sunday school workers of each denomi- nation to take the teacher-trainng course of their denomination. because those courses each contain q book de- voted to denominatonal doctrine.
