 The Parades of the Priests of Pallas have attained for Kansas City worldwide celeb rity In no other city have the festivities that grace this season of the year been or ganized on scale of such thorough com pleteness and gorgeous magnificence.
 1t has been reserved for the Priests of Pallas to mold the festivities of the season into 0 grand and comprehensive system, and to present to the enjoyment of visit ors, without fee or reward, public specta- cles and pageants as brilliant and beautiful as the genius and skill of man and the law Ish expenditure of money can produce.

last scene of the fight when the rUr- reador and matador, at the shouts # the multitude: "Fuegol fuegol" apply darts which blaze with fire when driven into the neck or sides of the poor beast the audience testifies it's supreme happi- ness at his sufferings. Cultured, con- vent-raised women look on smilingly and reflect in their glearning white teeth and flashing dark eyes the tor inents of the bull. Only in Spain can such things be seenl
 The language of the country is known as Castilian, and is considered a simple one and easily acquired. But this is true merely as regards it's clements, and as much as is usually acquired by globe-trotters and sailors, for the Span- ish of the court and university is pol ished language, full of verbal and ;di- omatic subtleties and pitfalls for the young beginner. As the language of Mexico and the South American repub- lies it will well repay study by our young readers.
 The Spaniards are poor and proud. No other country has so many titled peo-
 
 the title of marquis, there are $50 counts and countless number of bar ons, viscounts and dons. And all their sons and daughters have titles, too. In the rural districts and country towns and villages of Spain the Anglo Saxon traveller is disagreeahly im- pressed with the heartlessness of the people towards the dead. The ceme- teries are shamefuIly neglected, and it is not an uncommon sight to see a corpse slung across a mules back and in this unceremonious fashion carried to the grave; the street loungers make scoffing remarks as such a procession passes them, even though from super stitious motives they dotf their hats to the dead. Indeed, life is considered very cheaply, and manslaughter is more common than in any other country in the world. At the ''bodega," or wine saloon, brawl between friends will in few minutes lead to stabbing af- fray. As the victim falls on the street everybody runs from him, leaving him perhaps to bleed to death until the 'guardia civile" (policeman) arrives at the scene. No citizen will offer help or approach dead or dying man for fear of being arrested as an accessory to the crime. At the cry of fire" in a town everyone is supposed to assist the police in extinguishing the flames, put as rule the alarm drives every moth

against Napoleon's veterans. Spain is glorious past and may inscribe on her banner the motto ''Resurgam" shall rise again).
 It is famous for beautiful women such as Velasquez, Murillo and Sebas- tian Gomez-loved to paint 200 years ago. (The trouble with too many Span ish ladies of to-day is that they do their own painting.) Beauty is the birth right of the dusky-eyed Castilian and are full of charmers. From the lofty duchess who smiled on Sancho Panza and the dancing girl of Seville (the type so well expressed by operatic writers) down to the girl who makes cigare ties for living and the bull-fighter's favor ita' all Spanish women are beautiful once in their lives.
 Spanish politeness is remarkable. Admire anything the Spanard has he Immediately begs your acceptance of { 1t, though he would be very much sur prised if you took him at his word. There is an old story about an American who was the guest of Spanish hidalgo who was praising the stud of horses owned by the don. 'Senor, they are all yours sad the polite nobleman, wbereupon our friend wanted to mitch up a team and take them with hin and he would send for the balance" :" What the polite Spaniard did in this emergency is not told, but the probabil- ity is that good excuse was given for not allowing d hoof to leave. Another of these politeness stories is to the eff feet that young English lady riding in the country was overtaken by violent storm and took refuge in a cottage. The hovel was full of smoke and through the fog the lady perceived the heads of half a dozen children with Aeyes staring at la bella inglese. "Y our children?" asked the visitor by way of starting the conversation. "Senora. they are all yours!' was the

Peasants polite but startling reply. As matter of fact this Spanish courtesy is merely veneer, so to speak. True po- uetness comes from kindness, you un- derstand the artificial variety is sham, Resembling true courtesy as paper rose resembles the real queen of flow CTS. There are exceptions, to be sure, bni the Spaniard is not hosptable. One of his national proverbs says: 'The pleasantest day of visit is that on which the visitor departs"
 That there is in the Spanish character an inherent cruelty cannot be denied. The best evidence thereof is furnished sby that degrading national sport, the bull fight. Thousands of men and wom- cn will spend hours in watching the tor lures inflicted on the bulls by the pro- fessional torturers, and such crowds are not composed of the low-born and tough" clements only Gas are the crowds al the prize fights and dog iish.s in Americal. but always include the aristoeracy and eyer royalty.

Rumor has il that the census
takers OF certain school district
in this county have laid tn. .nselves
liable, by drawing money appor-
toned to children who are not in

1t is said that this sc'.eme has been
carried so far as to rob other

true, there will probably be trouble

HINTS FOR sTockMen.

There is complaint against the work
done by dehorning clippers and prefer
ence expressed for the saw The clip
pers are all right If used according to
directions.
The balky horse and the swearing
driver are two nuisances where the
horse should have the monopoly. Keep
your temper and in some way get the
horse to think of something else. As
soon as you do he will go.
Hard roads bang up the feet of the
horse. and 1t is a question II hard roads
are not as wearing on the horse as soft
roads are. But independent of that
hard roads are desirable when they can
be had without too much burden TO the
farmer.
The 1,200-pound hog--and one man
claims to have one-is not desirable or
profitable. We once saw pen of ten
hogs where aggregate weight was 10,-
900 pounds. Hogs to weigh must be
kept until the second year, and that Of
itself is not advisable.
Secretary Wilson thinks that hog
,holera can be abolished" and will
study the thing from A to z. 1t has
bean studied already. but the more it
is studied the worse it is. Feed less
corn. breed from more mature stock
and keep the hogs under healthful con-
dltions are all the science there is to
the subject.-Western Plowman.
