Here is Sioux City Ia.) Sunday
school story:
They were studying in the catechism
about the wonderful greatness and pow.
er Of Cod. Can God do everything"
asked the teacher. 1t was generally ad-
mitted that he could. Then the teacher
rather mischievousiy propounded a stic-
kler perhaps as test of faith. Gould
God make two and two equal five?" he
asked. The query rather startled the
little girls in the class. and their faces
took on worried, puzzled expression.
They had never thought of such thing
as that, and it looked as if their faith
was wavering. The teacher waited with
a rather amused smile OH his face. Then
up shot little hand "Well," asked
the teacher, what do you think about
it," "Yes, sir, he can. was the prompt
and certain response. Now it was the
teachers turn to look surprised. "Well,
how can God make two and two equal
five!" "By adding one," was the tri-
umphant answer, and the mischievous
teacher couldn' t dispute it.-Sioux City

The Debut Of the Bowie Knife.

To the public mind duels were really
a necessity. The man who would not
fight "at the drop of n hat and drop it

There were progressive duels, toa
from which the popular mind no more
revolted than it does in this era from
progressive whist or euchre 1t was one
Of them which gave Bowie and his
knife to fame. In some way there had
come to be bad blood, black and bitter,
between him and a certain Colonel
Norris Wright. After long bickeriHy,
it was agreed to meet upon the lsvee
opposite Natchez, Miss. each with half
dozen friends, duly armed, and there
shoot the matter out. There were a doz.

deeds of daring had gone by forever.
and as if the heroes Of the deep We're q
myth of the past. Absorbed in the
Morse romance, we forget that the vik-
fnSs were only pirates and that they
dared for slaughter and for bsoty. If
the Gloucester of today had only existed
then, what heroic saga would it not
have inspired! For to risk life for glory
or riches or rescue or love is in tho
heart Of every man to do, but to risk
life for bare existence, for other peo-
pies profit and for an anonymous epd
partakes of that commonplace sublimity
which does not form the favorite plot of
poets, although once in awhile it is the

For the vikings are not dead. From

wharfs, and we do not recognize them.
They loiter on our streets, and We know

TIGER AND BULL.
A Fierce Battle, In Which the Tiger Was
Badly Beaten.

The Paris letter Of the London Post
tainment given at the Plaza de Madrid
i'll the presence of |, 800 spectators. This
was q combat between a royal Bengal
tiger and an Andalusian fight & bull.
The tiger, Cesar, was full grown
brute belonging to Spessardi, tne train
er, who had never been able to do any
thing with it and had, indeed once
nearly fallen victim to its f. city.
He sold it for 6, 900 francs to the director
Of the plaza.
A cage II yards square by 4 in height
had been erected in the middle of the
arena, and the animals were brought ON
in vans, the bull being the first to be
released into the inclosure. The brute
Immediately began to run round and
round his prison, believing and throw
ing up sand and gravel with his hoofs.
The instant the tiger entered the cage
he gave roar and bounded on the bull,
avoiding the horns, and fixed On hi:
flanks and belly with both teeth and
claws. The bull remained still for q
few seconds. and then seemed to be sink
ing backward to the ground. The spec
tators thought that all was over, bu,
the tiger let go for second to. take an
other hold. and in the brief interva,
was kicked over by the wild plunges O.
the bull. Before the tiger had time t
recover the bull was on him, and, sink
ing his horns into the striped hide, il
tossed the tiger into the air. This wa
repeated four or five times, the bul
varying his tactics occasionally by bang
ing his adversary against the bars
When the bull stopped, the tiger lay
limp on the ground, and the crowd
thinking be was dead, cried, Bravo
torop'
The bull stood stamping for a mo
ment in tho middle of the cage, ant
then, seeing the tiger did not move, ap
preached and smelled him. But Cesa
was only shamming death and seize,
tie bulls muzzle in his powerful jaw
SO the animal could not move. Eventu
ally, however, he was released, and aft
er stamping furiously OH the tiger agail
eaught him on his horns. This time tb
tossing, stamping and banging appar
entity really ended in Cesar's death
The cage was then opened, and the bul
rushed out and back to his stable. Fo
precaution's sake the tigers van wa
brought up, and, to the general sur
prise, Cesar rose to his feet, glance
round as if afraid tho bull was stil
there, ard then bounded into the van
The tiger was found to have five rib
broken. besides having number c
wounds from tie bulls horns. 1t is sal
