TOSSED BY A MAD BULL.
The Thrilling Experience OF Two n.
dorsey Farmers.

The Thrilling Experience OF Two New
Jersey Farmers.
Two Misunderstanding Simmer and
Hiram Lively-had desperate fight with
an enraged bull in meadow below this
city. The encounter was witnessed by
scores of people on the opposite side of the
river, who were unable to render the men
any assistance, says Milvllle New JERSEY
special 10 the World.
Simmer, armed with a small stick, went
alone to drive the bull out of the meadow
into a cage in which he is kept at night.
The bull, which has the reputation of being
one of the most vicious in tile county, snort
ed defiance and paved the ground with rage
as Simmer approached him. No sooner
had Simmer struck the bull strong rap
with the stick on his side than the animal
wheeled quickly around, and before Simmer
had a chance to run, caught him on his horns
add tossed him in the air. When the un for
tunate man struck the ground the bull
rushed upon him and tramped him with
his hoofs and struck him with his horns in
every part OF the body.
Lively, seeing SINNERS peril, ran to his
aid with heavy club, whereupon the ami
nal turned upon the newcomer, knocked
him down and ran one Of his horns Into
Lively's leg, just below the hip, ana injured
him in other parts of the body. Both men
were nearly insensibe when help arrived
and the bull was Gagged.
Simmer sustained severe internal iniu-
ries and to-day he has been splitting blood,
Both men are ia critical condition.

MONEY WELL INVESTED.

Regular Allowance to Girls VIII Rem
der Them Economical.
Children from an early age should be
given a weekly or monthly allowance of
spending money, no matter how small the
amount. says the Brooklyn Times. One or
two cents a week regularly is better than
odd pennies at intervals for toys or candy.
As they grow older this amount should be
increased so that they may be able to pur-
chase few necessary articles for their own
use. A girl Of II may generally be trusted
to buy her own gloves and handkerchefs.
| know a lady who allows her little girl %
cents Wet Elk for this purpose.
When girl feels that money Is her own
to do with exactly as she pleaseS, she
rarely wastes it on unworthy objects. A
sense of responsibility is established which
is in itself an excellent factor in education
A girl gradually accustomed to the use OF
money may, by the time she is Is or II, buy
everything that she wears. OF course a
judiciOus mother will advise her in her
choice while encouraging her to use her
own taste aud Judgment If a mistake is
made it is her own; she alone is to blame.
Thus every little blunder becomes valuable
lesson never to lie forgotten. She learns to
tell at once whether material Is likely to
wash or to wear, to shrink or TO cut, to fade
or to fray. She finds that rushing after new
fashions is neither wise nor profitable, and
that taking good care OF old clothes is a
great saving in new ones.
Besides this she learns the value of self
denial, of doing without herself, that she
may make others happy Her charity be-
comes personal ana consequently effective.
Habits of observation, forethought, indus
try and economy are fostered aud money is
valued, not for itself alone, but for the go cd
ii may bring.
All girls should be trained to spend money
intelligently. Its proper use affects not
only the income, but has an enduring influ-
ence upon character and life

STABBED IN PLAY.
Sad Termination of a Juvenile War Dance

Four-year-old Francis Duggan, whose
father, a laborer, lives on the top floor Of

fatally stabbed in the neck with an assegai
during a Zulu war dance yesterday after

was little Jimmie Roach, son Of House.
painter Roach, who lives at 345 East
Thirty-fifth street. OF course these boys
are not sure-enough Zulus. but after they
got out of school yesterday they played
like" they were, and had very realistic
"hot- potting" scene, true as possible to
the lines laid down by I'll. Rider Haggard.
When the bonfire was at its brightest and
the dreadful seething flames were licking
out madly in the direction of their intended
mythical victim, around whom little Frank
Duggan and other "plaY-like" ZuluS were
dancing and shouting with fiendish glee,
seven-year-old Jimmie Roach stealthily
wrggled through the imaginary brush
known to civilized people as slush-which
cumbers East Thirty-hfth street, and with
deadly precision hurled formidable assegai
made out of an umbrella rib-at the crowd
of jewellers. The bluodthirsty little Zulu'S
aim was good, and one of the jewellers fell
to the earth, Sorely wounded in the neck.
The hot-potting ceremony was stopped, for
the little fellow was bleeding copiously, and
his big sister took him to Bellevue Hospital.
He is very seriously wounded and may die.

THE ALAMO SLAUGHTER.

How Captain Bowie Killed Many in That
Sickening Butchery.
Colonel 6. NJ. Bowie Of Whitecastle, La,
Vice President Of the Whitecastle Lumber
ami Single Company, is in the city on i'm
pOrtant business connected with his COM
pany says the st. Louis Star Sayings.
Yes, jim Bowie, the famous man who
invented the bowie-knife, is a relative of
mine. He is mygreat-uncle. l have lived
in Texas great many years, but at present
my center of operations is at Whitecastle."
Yes, my uncle died in the Alamo, fight
ing side by side with Davy Crockett. That
bloody massacre has done much to perpetu-
ate his name, more, perhaps, than the deadly
knife which he invented. This invention. as
4 matter of fact, was mere accident When
my uncle went TO Texas, away back before
it fought for independence and became a
republic, knives were very scarce, none of
them being made in this country at the
time. CAPTAIN Jim Bowie conceived tue
idea of grinding an old file which had been
used in blacksmith-shOp until it had a
point and an edge. He improved on his
first experiment by putting handle on the
next one. The point was made keen and
the edge sharper. He soon after had an op-
pOrtunity to use 1t in a hand-t0-hand en-
counter with two desperadoes. and of
course, he came out the victor without much
effort, completely diSemboweling the two
men who assaulted him with the intention
of taking his life. The knife at once be-
came famous, and as my uncle was the only
man who had such a weapon in Texas he
also became famous as the Inventor and
owner OF the terrible weapon.
"Was it used in the Alamo? OF course II
WAS. After Santa Annals men broke down
the gates of the old church, which had been
converted into fortress, the fight was
hand to hand. No such slaughter was ever
witnessed in any slaughter-hOuse, and no
such butchery was ever seen on any battle
field. There were not over 200 men in the
Alamo, but they sold their lives dearly.
Not one was taken a prisoner, but the Next
cans lost two men for every Texan they
killed. My uncle, tradition says, was among
the last to 60 down, and he was doing
bloody work with his terrible knife when
he was killed."
