men waved responses from the cab win

although they fight bulls in Spain, vet
are German, hailing from Brandenburg.
They are extremely beautiful, scarcely
out of their teens, and are brilliant and
daring riders. Their exploits in the bull
rings have been the themes of Spanish
poets, they are the pets of the populnce,
and for their achievements in the arena
they receive great financial reward.
They were originally circus riders.
Their manager, being struck with their
equestrian ability, determined to make
DULL fighters of them. He took them to
Seville, where there is school devoted
to the fine art OF killing bull. There
the two girls killed stuffed bull three
or four times day until finally they
we're allowed to practice on live bull.
From that they were graduated to the
ring proper, and quickly won renown
by their daring.
Donna Piedros wears divided skirt
when in the ring, while the Pretel sis
ters wear the regulation mans bull
fighting costume. The former does all
her work on foot, while the latter two
ride horses.
That bull fighting is still the Spanish
national pastime is shown by the statis-
tics for the season from April to Oc-
tober 20 of last year. During that
period there were ATS fights; 1,21s bulls,
valued at 100000, and $3.50 horses, val
ued at 5000, 900, were killed; 25 matadors
were employed, their earnings amount
ing to $221,5O
The famous Guerrita appeared in 6s
fights and made $51, 900, killing 174 bulls.
Bombita fought 43 times, killed 112 bulls
and received $21, 900 for his labors Moz-
zantini fought 80 times, killed IS bulls
and earned 1,7OO. The three women
mentioned are,not classified as to either
killing or earning capacity.

beethoven was born in small house
in Bonn. His father had inherited the
vice of drinking, and often Beethoven
and his younger brothers were obliged
to take their intoxicated father home.
He was never known to utter an un-
kind word about the man who had
made his youth so unhappy, and he
never failed to resent it when third
person spoke uncharitably of his IA

GRATEFUL ELEPHANT.
She Rugged the Chemist Who Had
Once Cured Her Pain

Once Cured Her Pain.
1t is common sight to see Jolly al
most any day walking sedately about
the crowded hall with eight and nine
merry children on his back. He ap-
pears to enjoy the sport as much as the
little folks, for his eyes twinkle glee-
fully, says the Boston Journal.
In talking about the intelligence and
remarkable memories of elephants Mr..
| Bostock (who was Jolly's trainer and
has been trainer and exhibitor of ami
mails all his life) said: The elephant
is the most intelligent of animals l ever
had anything to do with. They are the
easiest to train, the most good-tem-
pered and interesting of all.
Speaking of the memories for per-
sons and events that elephants have,
would like to tell you an instance that
came under my own eyes some years
ago when 1 was in England. My father
was the manager of show, but he hav-
ing died my mother was in charge. We
had several elephants, and one of them
was of unusual size. He was within.
three or four inches as tall as Jumbo.
and a trifle heavier.
I'm the rural places where we were
exhibiting at the time it was the GUS
tom of the people to have large baskets
Of apples placed by the side of the road
after they had been picked from the
trees. This particular day our show
was passing along street and the ele-
plants all ate of apples.
Not long after the big elephant was
taken very i'll. He lay down on the
ground and was apparently unable to
get up. We did not know whether he
had been poisoned or not. Finally a
chemist was called and he gave the ele-
phant some physic.
1T did not appear to do much good
For hours the animal lay on the ground
and the chemist kept giving him medi-
cine. Bystanders jeered at the man for
his apparently unsuccessful efforts.
Finally, however, the elephant began to
revive, and at last stood up on his feet.
Seven years later we happened to
visit the same town again. The big ele-
phant was drawing a chariot with two
others in the lead, tandem fashion. We
were passing along the street when the
elephant suddenly paused and walked
up to a man standing on the sidewalk. |
She placed her trunk around the waist
OF the man, lifted him up in the air and
drew him to her. She began to caress
him, purring loudly all the while.
Come to find out this was the chemist |
who had cured the animal of her sick
ness seven years before. The man re-
membered the elephant and the ele-
phant rmembered the man. At the per-
formance which we gave the chemist |
was among the spectators.
when the time came for the big ele- |
plant to appear she walked right over |
to the chemist and raised him from the |
ground and hugged him so close that it
was uncomfortable. But we could not |
release him until the elephant was
ready. The elephant purred like cat |
for almost 20 minutes"

And Because She Doctored Them She
Lost n Husband.
There is North side girl who has q
laudable ambition to know just where
her money goes. She has tried two OF
three times to keep mental track OF
her expenditures, but this ALWAYS
proved unsatisfactory. At last she de-
cided that she must keep an exact and
minute account of everything she spent.
She got her small book with rulings
and margins and pliable cover and set
to work in earnest. She put down re-
ligiously everything she spent, the ex-
act amount, the article and the date.
She never allowed the slightest matter
to go till there was chance of her for
getting it. When she made any pur-
chases downtown she went over the
list carefully in the car on her way
home, and put the amounts on the out
side of a package. In this way she sue
ceeded in keeping very satisfactory
record of her expenditures.
There was only one drawback. She
was forever leaving the book around.
Of course, there are a great many peo-
pie who are only too glad to read such
things. The servant would see it, the
man who came to tune the piano might
easily had done it if he liked, and she
did not know whether he had or not.
A neighbor had once picked it up on
the lawn in front of the house and
brought it in. But what was worse than
all the rest was the fact that a couple of
girl friends perused it one day. There
were some things which she had talked
a good deal about that she got for down
right bargains. In fact, after the catas-
trophe everything on her record seemed
to be shamefully cheap. However, she
was unwilling to give up the bookkeep-
ing, and if she didn't carry note book
around with her she would certainly
forget something, so she bethought
herself of another eXpedient. She de-
termined for the purpose of mystitca-
ton to multiply everything she put
down by ten. That is, to add a cipher
to each entry. In this way she could al
ways tell that every item really cost
one-tenth of what appeared on the book.
After this she didn't care who saw it.

1hE OLD cARRYALL.

Its alone the dark OF the old wagon
shed,
Where tn spider webs swing from the
beam overhead,
and the In siftin' in through the dirt and
the mold
or the sinder's dim pane, specks it over
will gold.
Its curhins are tattered, its cushions are
wirn,
IT'S kind of a ghost of carriage, for
lCrn,
And tie dust from the roof settles down like
pail
on TIE sorrowin' shape of the old carryall.
1t was built long ago, when the world
seemed to be
A Heaven. Jest made up for Mary and me,
And my mind wanders back to that first
happy ride
When she sat beside me-my beauty and
bride.
Ah. them were the days when the village
was new, ....r
And folks took time to live, as God meant
'em to do:
And there's many huskin and quiltin and
ball
That we drove to and back in the old carry
ALL
And here in the paint are the marks of the
feet
Where little form climbed to the high
And soft, baby fingers them curtains have
swung,
And curly heads nestled the cushions
among.
And then come the gloom of that black BIT
ter day
When Thy will be done" looked so wicked
to say
AS we drove to the grave while the rain
seemed to fall
Like the tears of the sky on the old carry
all.
And so 1t has served us through sunshine
and cloud,
Through fun'rals and weddin's, from bride
wreath to hroud:
IT'S old and it's rusty, it's shaky and lame,
But love every tint of it's rlckety frame.
And it's restin' at last, for it's race has
been run,
It's lived out it's life and its work has been
done,
And hope, in my soul, at the last trumpet
call
I'll have done mine as we'll as the old carry |

Cab or on Pilot.
An engineer on the Delaware d. Hud-
son road has cat with which he would
not part for love or money. 1t belonged
TO his wife, who is now dead, and for a
year past it has been his constant COM
panion in the cab. The cat loves its life
on the rail, and has grown sleek and fat.
Ordinarily it sits perched up at the
cab window before its master, but oc-
casionally it strolls out to the pilot,
where it will ride at stretch, winking
knowingly at the dogs which bark at
the train as it thunders by the cross
roads.
Sometimes when the train is ap.
preaching a station the adventurous ami
NAL climbs to the top of the sandbox
and calmly roosts there, undeterred by
the shrek of the whistle or the clang OF
the bell. The locomotive has had good
luck ever since the animal became an
occupant of the cab, and the trainmen
look on it as mascot.-N. Y, Press.

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
RUNNING AWAY.

The sky was clear, the stars were bright
The grass was wet with dew,
When Johnny rose, put on his clothes,
And vowed what he would do.
" I'll leave my pa, I'll leave my ma,
I'll go from here to stay;
They used me rough-Tve had enough
And so I'll run away.
IN take my clothes, I'll take my ALL
A slave l will not he;
I'll go out west, I'll do my best
I'll strike for llbertyi"
And Johnny started bravely out,
And said he'd neer return;
He said he'd go and make a show.
And let his genius burn.
He travelled all that summer night,
And bravely through the day.
" And then" said he, II wish that we
Had never run away!
" I'm weak and tired and Slick" said he,
With sadness in his tone
" 1t isn't best to go out west
At least, to so alone!
" And now I'm in pretty fix,
And don't know what to do!'
And then he sighed and sobbed and cried
y" Boo-hoo, boo-hoo, boo-hoo!"
The boy, when found, was taken home.
And was content to stay.
Said he: I'm cured, and rest assured,
I'll never run away!'

work is Archduchess Isabella, the wife
of Archduke Frederick, nephew and
heir to the richest untitled man in Aus
tria. She is devoted to benevolence and
charity and is active in furthering the
working institution for the development
of this industry. At the Buda-Pesth
exhibition last year much of this en-
broidery was shown and foreigners
would not believe it was the work of
ignorant, uncultured and rough peas

made and embroidered in silk, altar
cloths and all kinds of church en-
broidery, tablecloths and curtains.
