|N TWO occasions during the last thirty years, since he was a boy, has John €. Muir had his "picture taken," once surreptitiously, and once through strategy.

The camera may have caught Mr. Muir upon other occasions, at banquets and the like, but he seems to have been able to suppress the plates.

So far as I have been able to ascertain, there are two impressions of the general superintendent of the Chicago, Terre Haute and Southeastern Railroad company in circulation at the present time. And the circulation is very, very limited.

Once Mr. Muir was snap shotted by John Shirkie when he wasn't looking. The other day again, while gazing admiringly upon a tree laden with apples In an orchard down in the rich fruit growing district of southern Indiana.

During his career as a railroad official—and Mr. Muir hate been a "railroader" all his life—he has had many requests from newspapers and magazines, and each request has met with a politely evasive response amounting to a postponement of consideration of the proposition.

Modest—That's All.

It wasn't because he didn't appreciate the compliment or because he didn't realize that a railroad men is sometimes expected to get out in the spotlight, Just like an actor, to advertise his corporation. He's obliging enough, but just naturally modest.

However, he is—John C. Muir, one of the most popular railroad officials we have had—and one of the most efficient.

Mr. Muir has been a resident of Terre Haute since he bccame general superintendent of. the Southeastern line- in March. 1913, but local business men knew him long before that as superintendent of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad.

Mr. Muir has not yet reached the half century mark. He. was born in Cooper county, Mo„ in December, 1SG4 —born on a farm. The nearest town to the place where he lived is Booneville. It was in this town that he received his early education/ Johnny Muir quit school to go to work when he was fourteen years old, but that doesn't mean he ceased to be a stunt at that time. He kept up his udies after he left school to become messenger boy in a commercial telegraph office. Messengers didn't bump into you on bicycles and then turn ground and chortle at you in those

FIGHTING GANDER WHIPS COW.

FREEHNG, Va„ Oct. 10.—There is a gander at Grassdale, the Beverly farmstead, that has the reputation of being the "fightingest" gander in the district. After hafving put to flight at sundry times all the urchins of the neighborhood who had occasion to pass that way, besides giving chase to some of greater avoirdupois and stature, he attacked no less an object than a cow.

The milk-woman had poured down a basket of "scraps" to the cow. The stuff must have looked tempting to the gander, for just as the cow began to regale herself upon it, he flew at her, caught a hold by the hair between the animal's horns and began a vigorous flapping. The cow attempted to horn him off, but without success. The more vigorously she horned, the greater became the commotion. Soon the cow began to retreat .backwards, but the gander held on. Finally, with a great toss of her head, the cow disengaged the gander, and, wheeling, started away. Quickly the gander seized the retreating animal by the tail and held on, while she created a new speed record. When he had rid the premises of the cow the gander relapced his hdld and came back to a peaceful enjoyment of his hard-earned meaL
