Viewing Himself Done in Wax.

ment that had just been placed in a mu-
scum in wax. His eyes returned to the pla-
card repeatedly, and it was clear that his
mind was on the subject. He had been &C.
customed for years to seeing himself por-
trayed in likeness and caricature, but to be
done in wax was new sensation. AT the

81 know a man. said cable car passenger,
"who came to Chicago three years ago when
he was lust of age, without dollar He
hired out to butcher and delivered meat
from a basket, which he carried on his
shoulder 1t was hard work and the young
countryman didn't get fat on it, but he kept
his eyes open and resolved TO improve the
first opportunity to better his condition. As
As butcher boy he went much into alleys and
back yards and there noticed that the ash
piles which came from the house stoves had a
good deal of coal In them. He bought a
handcart with his savings, resigned from the
butcher shop and went around and made ar
rangemcnts with householders to draw their
ashes away His charges were surprisingly
low and by hard work he managed to earn a
dollar and half day in this way.
"But this was only half of his earnings.
He rugged up a sieve, through which he
screened all the ashes he hauled, and the coal
thus secured was worth about $3.50 more.
He then went into the business on a larger
scale, hiring laborers and furnishing them
carts and rigging up large screen, where
load after load could be dumped. He has
boys to pick out the cintlers and clinkers and
wagons to haul the coal away and sell 1t. He
now hauls unsifted ashes away for nothing,
but charges for removing sifted ashes A
good many people who used to sift their ashes
don't do it now. saving themselves the trouble
and getting tho refuse hauled away foi

The Torera Bonita del Amo then sat on a
chair in the middle of the arena and calmly
awaited the onslaught of fresh animal. In
the twinklmg Of an eye she was caught on
the bulls horns and was tossed high into the
air, falling stunned to the ground. This was
the most deplorahle partta the performance,
and no more serious accidents occurred The
quadrilc of men instantly attracted the
bulls attention from his prostrate prey, and
the woman was quickly sPrinkled with water
or vinegar, and rose apparently uninjured
from the ground. Her light clothes were torn
to shreds
Frutos repeated the chair movement, but,
more adroit than the woman, he nimbly
sprang aside before the bull could bear down
