'TWIXT BULL N BEAR
How Two caIifornians Released Themselves
From a Critical Situation.

E. S. Collins, postmaster at Knights Ferry,
Cal, and Samuel Baugh, a blacksmith, have just
escaped from an encounter with a bull and a
bear which they will not soon forget, the New
York Sun states.
Collins bought a bull and had him in a corral
Just above knights Ferry. He and Baugh went
out to inspect the purchase when the angry ami
NAL started after them and gave chase. Collins
reached a nearby tree in safety, but Baugh was
not so lucky, and crawled instead into a near
by cave, just in time to escape the charge of the
bull.
He emerged hastily, however. and again the
bull charged him, and he sought refuge in the
hole a second time. Finally Collins warned the
blacksmith to stay in the cave, saying that the
bull would tree them both and keep them in the
field all night. For answer, Baugh again jumped
in and out of the cave and a moment later, as
the bull charged past, grabbed the animals tail
and threw him.
AS both men climbed the fence, Baugh ex-
planned why he didn't remain in the cave. There
was a bear inside which disputed his ownership.
The two men returned later and succeeded in
dispatching the bear and two cubs,

SHAMPOO FOR SMALL CHILD
Proper Materials and Efficient Meth
cd Are the Vital Points to
Be Considered.

Many an overburdened mother has
gladly turned over the task of sham
pooling the youngsters to the elder
sister, who really deserves the title of
the family beauty doctor. Not only is
this a relief to the mother, but it Is
an excellent thing for the children, as
few mothers have either the knowl-
edge or the time properly to shampoo
two or three bobbing little heads.
Great harm is done the nair by SLOW
emily or too strenuous shampooing. In
the one case, harsh alkalis or unclean-
lv soaps remain in the hair, and in
the other too drastic substances are
employed for cleansing the hair Of
oil and dust.
The beauty doctor takes the rebel
lious little patient to the bathroom,
throws a combing cape of Turkish
toweling over. the bare shoulders, and
folds another small Turkish towel on
the edge of the stationary washstand
for the patient to rest her chin or
In a bowl close at hand she has
ready the yolk of one egg, beaten thor
oughly, with one pint of warm rain
water and an ounce of rosemary spir-
its. The egg will remove dandruff and
cut the excessive oil in the hair.
Rosemary leaves behind a pleasant
perfume. Dipping both hands into the
shampoo mixture, she works 1t into
the scalp, rubbing thoroughly with the
finger tips. When the scalp is satur-
ated and the dandruff is loosened,
she has the patient rest her chin on
the folded towel. and the rinsing be-
gins. The hair is not washed its full
length, but the shampoo, as it is
washed down, cleanses the hair.
A rubber tube, which can be ad-
justed to any pipe, and which has a
perforated spray nozzle, is useful for
rinsing, and warm, not hot nor cold,
water should be used. The right hand
directs the flow of the water, and the
left is held at the base Of the brain
or on the forehead to prevent the wa
ter from running down the back or
into the eyes.
Soft, warm towels are Used for pat
ting the hair dry. 1t should never be
rubbed violently. Then it is famed.
Drying in the sun makes the hair
lighter in tint, but this often induces
headache.
The beauty doctor understands
scalp massage, and knows that the
mere rotary movement of the finger
tips over the scalp is not sufficient,
but the scalp must be loosened from
the skull, because If the scalp fits too
tightly to the skull the hair cannot
grow.

whx Women Look poudu

In the Woman's Home Companion
Grace Margaret Gould, fashion editor
explains how fashions have to be an

uals. A woman may be fashionably
dressed and still look like a TRUMP.
Following is an extract from what she
has to say:
"The new fashions. generally speak

and beauty to women as a whole; but
for each individual Me there must be
a discrimination.

TO PRESERVE ROSE LEAVES
Method That viii Result In the Al
most Perfect Preservation of
Their Fragrance.

Separate the petals and rub them
in an equal weight of common salt,
The water from the rose leaves is thus
absorbed and the pasty. briny mass
thus formed may be kept indefinitely
with almost perfect preservation of
the fragrance.
Sweet sachet bags are made of thin
material, such as figured organdie, and
filed with the dried leaves of rose
geranium, lemon verbena, mignonette
and s%weetbrier. If the material is not
closely woven it is better to put the
dried leaves in bags of ~cheesecloth or
batiste before putting on the outer
cover. A linen cover is also pretty.
understanding rose beads may be
made from rose petals. Grind the rose
petals in the meat chopper. Put the
juice and pulp into a clean kettle and
boil until a thick mass. An iron ket-
tie is best to use. in order that the
beads may turn black. When COOL

TRICKS THAT BULLETS PLAY
Life Saved by the Hook of a British Officers
Helmet Chain.

It has been truly said that, once you fire a bull
let from a modern rifle, none can forecast what
II will do or where it will ultimately come to
rest. Even when a bullet has an uninterrupted
course, says Frank Scudamore in the LONDON
Globe, it is capable of u%psetting all known car
culations of its flight and range. Before the pat
tie of Omdurman a sick officer was taken across
the Nile and placed under an awning at least
$500 yards from the nearest point OF possible
fire. This should have insured him an ample
margin of safety, but none the less a stray oullet
ate up the intervening three miles of desert,
struck him in the head, and killed him.
Shortly before the battle of Giniss, in the
Sudan, Gen. Sir Archibald Hunter, Colonel Hack
et-Thompson, C. B., and another officer whose
name escapes me, were accommodating through
an opening in the wall of a disused sakeeyeh, or
waterwheel. The hole in the wall was so small
that the officers had to stand one behind the 9TH
er to see anything. The officer whose name |
forget was in front using a pair of binoculars,
while Sir Archibald Hunter was in the rear. The
CLINT caused by the setting sun shining on the
glass of the binoculars attracted the attention Of
a dervish who, together with others, was retiring
along the Nile. He stopped, took aim, and fired.
1t was a very good shot, for it sped through one
lens of the binoculars, through the brain of the
officer holding them, killing him on the spot,
through the shoulder of Colonel Hacket-Thomp-
son. and finally lodged in the breast of Sir Arch
ibald Hunter, where, l believe, it remains to this
day.
The vagaries of a bullet when it touches the
human frame are almost beyond belief. During
another Sudan battle l saw an officer, a friend
of mine, go down apparently shot through the
head. To my surprise and relief l met him
walking about after the battle apparently none
the worse. save that his head was bandaged.
Then he showed me how a bullet, striking and
DETECTED by one of the hooks of his helmet chain,
had run right round his forehead, cutting a
groove under the skin, and had then glanced OF
the helmet hook on the other side.

GIVES VIEW OF COMMUNITY.
Plan Of Chicago City Club is to De-
velop the Neighborhood
Spirit.

In the small city or village nothing
in particular is done ordinarily to
stimulate the neighborhood spirit.
That force grows and develops natur-
ally in a small community. People
come to know one another without eff
fort and easily retain their friendships
and acGuaintanceships Thus is pro-
vided a substantial foundation for
community interest, which is another
name for neighborhood spirit.
In a city Of large proportions the
community interest, the neighborhood
spirit, is less apparent and less CO.
hesive. There is such an excess OF
humanity all about that unnatural
barriers are a~nxiously thrown up
against the making of friends too
readily. Even neighbors living in the
same apartment building remain
strangers for months on end.
Yet a city like Chicago, if it is to es-
tablish the cohesive interest that fin
ally produces community interest,
must develop somewhat in terms Of
the neighborhood spirit. Out of this
comes the broader interest that en-
braces the affairs of the whole city.
This situation gives special value to
the neighborhood center competition
that is about to be featured at the
Chicago City club. The purpose, as
announced, is ito bring before the
public, in graphic form, the practical
possibilities of enhancing %neighbor-
hood life in our cities by better, and
especially better grouped, buildings
and grounds for neighborhood activi
ties"
This object is a particularly worthy
one. 1t fits in well with the public
properties exhibition at the City club

Smart Toques of Last Season Are No

est Of styles.

Everyone has been wondering what
kind of hats or toques we are going
to wear with the new dresses with the
full skirts which measure from six
to eight yards round the hem and the
picturesque coates which recall the
styles Of olden times, writes Idalia
de Villers in the Boston Globe.
1t was of course evident that the
ultra-smart toques of last season
would be quite out of place in these
altered circumstances. The outline OF
last summer. and indeed of last au-
tumn too, was distinctly saucy. The
underdresses were so short, and mar
row and the tunics so long and wide.
With these costumes velvet forage
caps, and high toques which looked
rather like inverted jam pots, looked
quite the right thing. We have to
look for a change of outline where
our hats are concerned since the out
line of our skirts has been changed
so completely.
Some of the new millinery models
are very charming. / visited Caroline

with the models exhibited there. Re-
boux has always been noted for her
elegant styles. She has never gone in
for eccentricities, or toques which look
like the birettas worn by priests, only
that they are very low. These quaint
models are trimmed with very long
pheasant or vulture feathers which
stick out at the back in an aggres
sive way. When these toques are cor

Many of the new sailor shapes are

The small hat reigns supreme chez
Reboux; the small hat in preference
to the smart toque. One model, COM
posed of ivory white faille, was Of an
old-world shape; the brim was fiat
and it dipped at the front and back.
1t was not a large hat and the soft
silk crown was circled by a wreath
of dull pink carnations and maiden
hair fern. Here and there some feath-
cry grasses, quite black, gave a note
of somber color.

Smart Linen Waists.

Very smart, indeed, are the semi
tailored models of fine quality linen,
says the Dry Goods Economist. While
these waists follow the lines of the
tailored styles they are often made in
designs which are a compromise be-
tween the tailored and the dressy
styles. In most cases the sleeves of
the linen models are long, while the
collars are semihigh and slightly up
standing in the back and low in front.

order, and to Anatol Gollos, a Chicagoan, has
fallen the honor of being the first inventor in
the country to procure an official investigation,
the reward coming after three years of work on
an automatic train control and recorder. Tests
are made by the government only after the pre-
liminary inquiry has shown that the device is
practical.
The tests of MI. Gollos' invention will be made
on the main branch of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad, a stretch of six miles of track
having been equipped for the purpose. They
Will be held under the personal direction of II. J..
Lyon, inspector of safety appliances for the COM
mission, who has reached Chicago prepared for a
six months study of the subject.
The Gollos automatic train stop device con-
slsts OF a charged third rail, about one hundred
feet long, placed at every block. The e~nergized
track comes into contact with a shoe fastened on
the tender Of the engine which is susceptible to
the slightest influence. If there is another train
within a radius of one mile and a half, if there is
a break in the track, or anything wrong at all,
warning is given to the engineer by a shrill
whistle placed near his seat. II he does not slow
down his train at this warning, the air brakes
automatically set. This air is applied quickly,
but in a way that stops the train gradually. At
private tests given by Mr.. Gollos recently trains
OF all weights and speed were stopped in $50 to
300 feet.

already given have proved the practicability of
the devices, the inventor claims that they are
