Routed the Bull.

A lumberman attached to John
Cranes camp, up beyond the Katahdin
Iron works in Maine, was tramping
across to a pond late one November
evening when he ran upon a bull moose.
The lumberman had no rifle, SO he
yelled and waved his arms, expecting
that tho broad antlered bull would dash
fear stricken down the mountain. But
it didn't. 1t rushed for the lumberman.
He lodged about tree and dropped his
AK. For ten minutes he lodged, half
scared to death. Then he climbed the
tree.
The bull butted the tree with its ant
lers until it swayed to and fro, and then
walked away II few yards and rested.
The lumberman yelled some more. When
he could yell no longer, he set his wits
to work. Just above him was dead
limb. He broke it off, and as tho bull
advanced again he set the wood atire and
dropped it on the bulls back. With a
below it ran down the mountain. The
half frozen lumberman made line for
camp. New York World.

OF beautiful women and OF lordly men
Taking their pleasure in fiowery plain
Where poppies and the red ancmone
And many another loaf OF cranoisy
Flckered about their feet and gave their
stain
To heels of iron or satin. and the grain
Of silken garments floating far and free
As In the dance they wove themselves or
strayed
By twos together or lightly smiled and
bowed
Or courtsied to each other or else played
1T games OF mirth and pastime, unafraid
In their delight, and all SO high and proud
They seemed scarce Of the earth whereon
they trod
looked again and saw that flowery space
Stirring, as IL alive, beneath the tread
That rested now upon an old mans head
And now upon baby's gasping face
Or mothers bosom or the rounding grace
OF girls throat, and what had seemed the
red
OF flowers WINS blood in gouts and gushcs shed
From hearts that broke under that frolic pace,
And now and then from out the dreadful floor
An arm or brow was lifted from the rest
As IL to strike In madness or implore
For mercy, and anon some suffering breast
Heaved from the mass and sank, and rs before
The revelers above them thronged and

VISIT TO THE eSCURlAL.
The Great Structure Erected by Order of
Philip II of Spain.

- VI Srfihs
The Escurial, built by Philip III be-
tween 1868 and 1884, was called "the
eighth wonder Of the world" says q
special correspondent of the Boston Her
aid. II was ut once temple, palace,
q treasury, tomb and q museum. That
is to say, all these were included in the
huge building which Philip erected on
the slope of spur of the Guadarama
range, 32 miles northwest of Madrid.
The builder S object was to carry out the
will of his father, Charles v, by con-
structing q royal burial place, and also
to fulfill vow he had made during the
battle of st. Quentin, when he inn
plored the aid of St. Lorenzo, on whose
day aug. 10, 1857 the battle was
fought.
The edifce stands about 5000 feet
above the sea, facing the mountains, with
its back toward Madrid. 1t is rectangu-
lar parallelogram, 740 feet from north TO
south, and $50 from east to west On
the east side is an advanced portico
which breaks the facade. This gave rise
to the vulgar impression that Philips
shape of gridiron, an allusion to the
manner of st. Lorenzo's martyrdom, he
having been broiled to death on slow
fire in the reign Of the Roman Emperor
Valentianus, A. d. 26l. There seems
to be no other ground for the fanciful
invention.
The building covers 500,00 square
feet Of land, or nearly 12 acres. 1t has
10 courtyards, SO staircases, % clois-
ters, SO fountains and 3, 1000 feet Of paint
ed fresco. The church, which occupies
less than sixth of the whole space, is
320 feet long, 230 feet wide and 320 feet
high to the top of the cupola The re-
deeming qualities Of the enormous struc-
ture are size, simplicity and situation.
IL seems to be part Of the mountain on
the slope of which it rises. 1t still looks
grand even among mountain buttresses.
Otherwise, it disappoints. Its architec-
ture has little in form or color TO COM
mend it. 1t lacks the prestige of antiq-
uity, and it does not express any reli-
gious sentiment. It might be vast man
ufactory. Its cold granite walls, blue
states, leaden roofs and small windows
give it commonplace appearance
OF course it is now little moro than
a skeleton of what IL was The living
monks who swarmed in its courts are
here no longer. The revenues ON which
they lived have been taken away The
French soldiers stole and carried away
many of its golden ornaments in 1908.
It's best pictures have been removed to
Madrid. The building has suffered from
neglect, exposed to hurricanes and win
ter SHOWS. Better care has been taken
of it in later years. It is now used as q
seminary, where about 200 youths re-
ceiye secular education.

The question asked in the headline
may sound odd to you IL you have never
taken the trouble to give the subject
serious thought, but 1 venture the broad
statement that you are not able to an
swer the question "offhand. 1t is an
admitted fact, must confess, that the
eye is the "organ of vision" yet there
is but little doubt, even in the minds of
opticians and Psychologists, that the
phenomena Of Seeing" is chiefly men
tal-in other words, that it is the mind
and not the eye that "sees. How often
have you seen friend who seemingly
was engaged in looking intently at
some object on the table, at the opposite
side Of the room or at some picture, who
OH being aroused from his day dream
would confess that he was looking at
nothing in particular The explana-
tion Of the fact that he saw nothing in
particular" is plain enough if properly
set forth. 1t is because his mind was
busy with other times and scenes.
Faces, bits of wayside scenery, ETC.,
were being presented to view in the
panorama of the mind, and the "mind's
eye"-or mental vision-was engaged
In eagerly scanning pictures Of impres-
sions made thereon months, years or
scores Of years before. Another test Of
this mind vision theory is to shut your
eyes tightly and then ply the brain to
the task Of recalling faces and forms
that have not been seen by the eye for
years. And, again, if you want to know
whether your companion looked at his
watch with his brain or his eyes, ask
him the time of day after he puts the
timepiece in his pocket.-St. Louis Re

PRAISE YOUR WIFE.
Say to Her the Pleasant Things You Say
to Other Women.

Say to Her the Pleasant Things You Say
to Other Women.
"How do I look?" asked young wife
who stood before her husband dressed to
attend party with him.
He raised his eyes from the paper he
was reading, looked at her critically
and said:
"All right. You'll do"
Her heart sunk, and her lips quivered,
but he did not know it, She was con.
scious of looking her best, and she want
ed word of praise, Of admiration,
from her husband, and she failed to re-
ceive it.
Why was he so grudging of his praise?
Ask the average man who answers his
wife i'll that way when she asks his
opinion, as she invariably does, and he
will tell you that she always looks we'll
dressed in good taste and above cliti-
cism. But why doesn't he say that to
her, or rather why does he not make a
little loverlike speech for such an occa-
sion? Even the courteous remarks he
would bestow on the costume of an or
dinary acquaintance are withheld from
his own wife.
There was husband-he is dead now
who used to say to his wife, my
dear, you are looking charming this
evening" or, IT love you best in that
blue dress of yours. He was poor
stick of man in the way of worldly
success. but his widow canonized him
for just those loving tributes, given to
her with a lovers Difference after many
years Of welded life.
"Oh," said disappointed woman,
II would like to be man just to show
what good husband I could be. DE
