A Bull-Fight With Fuu in 1t.

In ordinary accounts Of bull fights
you hear of the sickcuing sight Of dis
embowclei horses, and bleeding men,
and butcherel bulls. This went on
with ever-chanying fun, shouts and
laughter, but no cnc was either hurt or
got the cocardcs. Whoever thinks it is
merely joke to go down into one of
these enormous arenas and snatch tine
tiny rosettc from between the horns of a
beast who has been trained all his lie
to keep him from getting it,, will find
that he has large piece of work cut out
for him. For fun n Provcncal bull-fight

The fact that quarterly bulletins were re.
ouired by law, whether the station had
valuable matter on hand or not, coupled
with the fact that in many instances men
wholly new to the business had to write

or less matter of questionable value. AS

Theory and Practice.

1t is quite likely that many an observant
person has witnessed similar scene to the
one described below, since the characters
are types that are distributed worldwide.
In this case the dialogue occurred in a
thriving western city, and the particular
place was the corridor of the postoffce. A
large, fleshy, indoent looking man came
in, opened his lockbox, and was glancing
over his mail, when his attention was at
tracted by wordy dispute among group
of men near by.
A very small, bright looking and clipper
man was doing nearly all the talking, and
evidently having everything his own way.
"The situation is like this" said the
small man with great vigor, II care not

DOOR Isn't that SO, colonel"
The large man nodded indelently.
"Any fool can make money, but it takes
a wise man to keep it," observed the small
man oracularly. IA man must read up
and keep posted on finance and business,
especially if be ventures on speculation"
"Yes," assented the large man, making a
movement TO go, but the small man would
not permit it.
He backed the large man up against Une
wall, took him by the button Of his coat,
and held him there for several minutes
while he gave his views on business and
finance,
During che dissertation the large man
was manifestly uneasy, answering eyes"

The chief reason why mule can nearly
always wear out horse when it comes to

The HUNTER HUNTED.

Experience of q Gentleman Who Was
Trying to Bag Rocky Mountain Sheep.
In the pursuit of Rocky mountain sheep
the hunter, to be successful, must have
fondness for the mountains, a sure foot,
good wind and head which no height will
turn. These requisites, with patience and
perseverance, viii, sooner or later, as the
hunter gains experience, reward him with
ample returns. Sometimes, however, the
unexpected will happen, and the following
tale will serve as an example: We were
well up in the mountains, and almost any
hour of the day sheep could be seen with
the glasses.
There were two fne rams in particular
that we could see about mile and half
from camp, occupying the slope of rocky
point or promontOry that jutted out from
a spur Of the range.
With due care and not making a sound
made a most successful stalk. Peering
over the ledge | just raised my head
enough to be sure my game was still there.
They were there, sure enough, within sew
snty-hve yards of me, totally unconscious
of danger, when all of a sudden they
sprang to their feet and dashed away from
below me as though possessed of a devil

turning, tried to run back to head them
