THE TAIL OF
A BULL
By NJ. QUAD
Copyright, 1912. by Associateu Lit
erary Press.

Abe Jackson sat on the roadside
fence with his head in his hands. al
was the most dissatisfied young man IL
the state of Iowa. After working as 1
farmers hired man for years and year,
and saving up a little money he ha6
bought a forty acre farm to find that
he had been badly cheated.
Five rods down the road, on the
banks of creek, man sat fishing
He was a summer boarder In the neigh.
borhood and was understood to be q
Wall street broker. He was fat and
serene He was smiling and placid
He not only fished for fish, but he
caught them.
"Dod CAST him, but I'd like to break
his neck." muttered Abe as he watched
the man. HE hasn't been beaten out
of $500. He hasn't had any troubles.
He hasn't had girl call him fool
and go back on him.
"And now that old bull has broke
loose" growled Abe as he slid off the
fence. IF he knocks off both his horns
and breaks his back l shan't care a
cent"
When the bull came charging down
the hill he saw the broker hauling In
the fish and charged straight at him.
The broker was used to other kinds Of
bulls, and his first thought was to get
away from this sort He scrambled up
to fall down again, and but for Abe he
would have got a horn or two. The
farmer didn't get In front of the bull
to try to stop him, but as the animal
passed he was seized by the tail. You
can steer a bull as well as a boat If
you get the right sort of hold. Abe
had It, and he steered the animal on to
the bridge across the creek and then to
the right and twitched him off into the
water.
Say, that was well donew exclaimed
the broker, as he came upon the
bridge. But for that trick of yours
should have got it bad"
"Humph" replied Abe.

HER ENJOYS WITHDRAWN


London, Oct. !7.-Turkey's refusal to
reply to the note of the Balkan states
will, in all probability, impel those states
to address an actual ultimatum to the
Porte before commencing hostilities, or
at least to announce the breaking off OF
diplomatic relations. The ministers OF
Bulgaria, Servia and Greece are still
waiting in Constantinople, although dip
lomatic relations are virtually ended be-
cause of the recall of the Turkish minis
tiers from Sofia, Belgrade and Athens
In the meantime, Turkey has taken ac-
tive steps to prepare the Turkish fleet
to take part in the campaign against the
Balkan states. Three battleships and
two cruisers, which had been bottled up
by Italian squadrons, have now been sta
toned at the mouth of the Black sea in
order to escort an army of invasion to
the Bulgarian coast This movement of
the Turkish forces will compel the Bull
garian military commanders TO divert
part OF their army from the main attack
on Turkey in Macedonia. Notwthstand
ing elaborate precautions taken by the
Turkish troops, Bulgarian bands have

bridges near Istip and Kotschana so that

high finance?"
"Can't say have"
'Well. I'm going to show you some
I'm going to make this old mound
worth a couple Of thousand dollars t
you."
The broker had a collection of relics
and curios at home, and he sent fol
certain things and had them planted
in the mound. Then he made cal
on the nearest village editor. and
week later that editor was referring In
his paper to a great and historic find
| on the farm of Abel Jackson. There
! was the tooth of n mammoth and
i Greek and Roman medals and coins
among the things unearthed. Strangers
came poking around almost at once.
They were shown the relics. but they
could not secure permission to dig.
That farm was for sale, and the mound
went with it. Abe simply opened his
mouth and stared.
Two days later the price went up TO
ST 900. Abe was for taking ii, but the
broker said:
"Thats only half our figure! In three
or four days Wen dig up julius
Caesars glass eye and see what they
say about that"
When the eye was unearthed pro-
lessor, who was very much interested
in the research, took it in his hand and
said
'Tm I'm, Ancient history says
nothing about the great Caesar having
a glass eye, but perhaps he had one
perhaps so! think / will raise my
offer TO $780,

Jackson when he would have closed
with the offer. 1--WE must get our

"But we are the same as lying to the
people," was protested.

When House Is Steam Heated.

Always keep the boiler well filed with
water during the summer to prevent
rusting, if you heat your house with
steam, says the Womans World. Let
this water out of the boiler when ready
to start the fire in the fall. Obtain thu
best quality of stove coal for the body
of the fire The pea size can be used
for banking the fire at night. A good
CRATE is essential to good heating and
economical use of coal.
Never try to heat room filled with
bad air. Even in the coolest weather
the rooms should be thrown open every
morning for at least ten minutes.
When steam is required to heat the
house quickly, a very small amount of
coal should be put on the fire. None at
all if there is a good bed of Goals. a
large quantity Of coal will reduce the
steam pressure. As soon as the rooms
are sufficiently warm open the coal door,
shut the draft and partially close the
damper in the smoke pipe. The amount
of coal necessary to be put on depends
upon the weather. Ii the weather is
cold, only a small amount of coal is put
on, so that the furnace may be opened
up and red fire quickly obtained, A
steam heating plant differs from hot wa
ter or hot air
If it is desired to heat one room quick
ly. turn the steam off in the other rooms
for few minutes. When this room i,
warmed, turn the steam on,
one room at a time as needed.
When the pressure is high, water often
collects in the radiators As the fire
eools off, the valves should be opened and
the water allowed to run back into the
boiler. If it is allowed to remain in the
radiator, when the steam is turned on
he water is forced out through the es-
ape into the room. or if the weather is
very cold the water will freeze and the
'adiator crack
When the body of coal has burned out
md the fire nearly disappears when it
; shaken, ii can be easily rebuilt in the
manner: Stick some kindling
nto the few live Goals. Fill a small
rape or fruit basket with coal and set
t on the Goals The kindling will set
ire to the basket. and as the basket
ives way the coal will be distributed.

d is much easier and quicker than
