STORY OF sEAGOING STEER
for Many Hours and Caused Much
Excitement Before Rescued.

Several longshoremen were biting
into thick sandwiches of garlic on the
water front when there came a prodi-
gious humping on the plank under
meath. The floor Of the pier gave forth
a hollow sound.
One of the longshoremen, the Brook
Ign Eagle teStifieS, swallowed his gar-l
lie the wrong way and let out Polish
exclamation. Then he bent over and
applied his eyes to a crack in the
woodwork. AT first he could not make
out anything in the murk but at length
a pair of green eyes met his hOrrifiedl
gaze, it seemed, to his untutOred mind,1
conclusive evidence Of personal call
from the evil one, and when horns
raped the planking and a long tall
swished the water he went away from
there very quickly. With him went
the rest of the longshOremen.
Up winding Fulton street they sped
and around the crooked corner intoI
narrow Poplar street, where they very
nearly carried the door of the Poplar
street police station off it's hinges. They
arrived before the desk sergeant all
abreast and told their story, as their
knees smote one against another and
their hands CROPPED feebly for the desk
rail. The desk lieutenant thought at
first it was a case of greenhouse"
whisky, but he finally sent man down
to investigate. The patrolman found
hot no vi mil q
which had been thrown into the river
and had swum up under the dock. He
did not know just what to do and his
police manual gave him no help. OBJ
viously he could not loosen the steers
collar and roll it over a barrel. Nor
could he give it an antidote for poison.
At last he had bright thought and
called up the dock department, the
steer being at a dock and therefore,
per Sc a fit subject for the dock de-
partment.
The dock department responded-or
part of it did-with saws. Then having
opened a nice round hole in one of the
city's docks, it's work was done, and it
sent for the S. P. G. A. The S. P. @. A..
does all hosting jobs appertaining to
steers, mustangs or other animal flot-
sam lifted from the river.
Some brave man passed a rope
around the middle of Taurus and every
body gave 'Yo, heave no" UP came
the steer and stood dripping on the
dock with the seaweed hanging from
his TANKS.
This steer is supposed to have been
in the river for 4S hours before 1t was
rescued.

Hope In the County Agent.

Dodgeville Chronicle: Why is the
gap between the supply and demand Of
foodstuffs widening? Because the war
has merely accumulated a condition we
were bound to face sooner or later.
Because we are wearing out our
lands, because we are not increasing
our acre yields, because our livestock
decreases while population increases,
because tenantry is increasing, because
we are not giving the rural boy and
girl fair deal in education.
What is the best way to correct the
situation?-A county agent in every
agricultural county!

Hunnani+vs Ienn+hened Life.

Fifty years ago the average length
of human life in the United States
was in the neighborhood of thirty
four years. Today the average Ameri-
can citizen lives to be forty-fve years
Of age. And fifty years from now
the average human life will have
heightened to almost sixty years.
All Of this gain in heightened life.
is due to the practice of disease pre-.
vention. And If the world would put
into practice all that is known Of dis
ease prevention today, the life Of even
the present generation might be
heightened by a dozen years or so.
