1t looks like a small-sized canoe. A set
of fins on either side of the bottom of
the shoes operate in a peculiar way,
securing a resistance to the water and
preventing him from slipping back
ward or losing his balance. Cook is
positive he can accomplish the feat,
which will take place in September,
and has started training. This will not
be his first stroll on water. He says he
has thoroughly tested his invention,
having walked 100 miles on Lake on
tario in sixty five hours this spring. He
also claims to have walked down the
Hudson river from Albany. to New
York. People who have seen Cook per-
form say he is no fake. He can walk

Robert Cook, an inventor of Boston,
now staying in Pittsburg, has made a
$1,000 bet with Chicago merchant
that he can walk on water from Pitts
burg to Cincinnati, distance of 400
miles, in fourteen days. To accomplish
this feat Cook will wear water shoes of
his own invention, with which he
claims he can walk with as much ease
and comfort on water as anybody can
on an asphalt pavement. The shoes are
trife over feet long, s inches wide
and 6 inches deep. The place for the
foot is in the center, and the shoe is
strapped to it. The shoe is perfectly
alright. It is covered with white cedar
wood, the bottom being of white hick-
DRY, which gives strength to the shoe.

= 80, Win revived
thoughts OF the rough fences I had
climbed and the tempting pools I had
hastily abandoned, I went to a bull
night in San Luis Potosi one Sunday
with far less concern at the fate of the
pulls than at the fact that this was
sunday service. It did not seem ex-
actly appropriate even if we admitted
mat, with the churches opened every
Jay ana the bull rings on Sunday, the
ouus were seven to one in favor of
religion.
Inc bull ring is several times. as
large as circus ring and is down at
leasC nVe feet below the level of the
lowest seat. It is circular space, set
III a solid masonry wall, and the seats
range upward like Roman amphi-
tfeater. The bulls are let into the ring
one at time through tunnel that
comes out under the seats, and inside
the actual ring is a stout board fence
QUILT all the way round, so that the
hgnt is conducted in the inner circles,
and all around that is a narrow out
way. Aue uISC quallnca-
ton OF a bullfghter is to be able to
Jump this fence. At the least chance
OF being ripped open he cuts for it
and IS over like jumping jack. And.
as II that wasn't enough, there are at
convenient intervals barriers set in tho
ring near the fence, and the Fighters"
when close pushed, step behind these

why the fence was broken by gates.
He-sa1d 1t was so as to let the bull back
1nto the ring If he should jump over.
l laughed at the absurdity of bull
taxing such flyer, and then the trum-
pet sounded and the procession entered
and marched to the Judge. There were
TWO men who alternately give the
fatal thrusts, the fellows who stick
the goads into the beast, those who
f1aunt cloaks at him, and the men On
horseback, who carry great boathooks
with fshhook points to drive him off
when he charges their horses. The
bull is given just one chance He can
| OILY be dealt with while charging. So
long as he stands still the etiquette
of the ring protects him, and when it
comes to stabbing him only one man
can do that.
"Toot-toot!' went the bug1e and in
rushed the first bull amid the cheers
OF at least two thousand persons. He
was Jet black, about years old, and
as full Of life and vigor as any young
creature on the plains. He took 4

Good Manners and a Quick Wit.
The little yiscount is receiving a few
friends in his bachelor quarters.

The latter, having allowed his cigar
to go out, throws it, without ceremony,
on the carpet. In order to give him a
lesson in good manners the little Wis

What had seemed impossible was done
within a minute of opening the game.
He was driven back and made a new
survey and seemed a little ashamed
that he had failed. Then suddenly he
rallied a second time, and with a
fiercer dash than before he not only
cleared the fence, but the intervening
space and got his front feet on the

Rrnve Words We'll spoken.

From Tho savannah News.

the people. There was no reason q ny any
democrat should place one lotL Ct con
ildcnce in The republican party, under any
circumstances Whatsoever. The leopard

party never changes It's character. Il was
very wei understood during the entire cam
