Deadly Navajo Of Seville

1t is said tina every Spaniard car
ries a knife, unless he belongs to the
upper class of the aristocracy. Even
then instinct frequently leads them to
it's use. With the peasants and COM
mon people a blade is an indispensable
article of dress. The ugliest of Spanish
knives is the navajo of Seville. At the
first intimation of trouble the Spaniard
pulls his knife. If it is a navajo and
provided with a big rachel and spring
he jerks the blade open, the rachel
swapping like a rattlesnake's warning.
This adds dramatic effect and appeals
to that love of braggadocio and display
inherent in the Spanish people.
The navajo is used with the blade up.
This gives the blow a terrible ripping
and thrusting force. 1t is hard to par
the victim. The wound is nearly al
ways fatal, for it leaves a trail like
a battle AK, save that it is up instead
of down. The long knives, such as
this form of the navajo presents, offer
a tremendous advantage, and in the
street brawls and private quarrels so
often INDUCED in always overmatch
more fragile weapons.
Matches are seldom used, except by
certain of the better classes, in the
OF Ferdinand and Isabella, and the
practice of striking a light from the
flint will illustrate how common an ar
ticle of use the ever handy knife is.
Nearly every Spaniard carries in his
belt a bit Of flint. When he want a
light, out comes the flint, the knife is
produced and the stone is struck with
the back Of the knife. A small piece
OF punk catches the spark as it flies.
1t, and in a second there is
all the blaze needed. Calmly the Span.
lard blows the smoke of his cigarette
in rings about his head. eve ready for
a resort to the friend who plays
him false-his navajo.

eABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with ScrofuIa Sores.
"At the age OF two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear Of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side OF his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. also took Hoods
Sarsaparila, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. s. S. WRoTEN, Farming

RESULT OF A RUNAWAY
Frightened Horse Injuries Five People, Two
of Whom May Die.
Mrs. Mary Taylor, Her Son and
Daughter and Two COIored WO-
men the Victims.

A horse attached to one of Adams Ex-
press Company's wagons ran away about
II o'clock this morning on Virginia avenue
southwest near I'd street and caused consid-
cradle damage, besides injuring five per-
sons, two of them perhaps fatally. Mrs
Mary Taylor of No. 1907 1st street south
east and her soung son and daughter, and
Harriet Adams and Emma Rhone, colored
were the victims. Mrs. Taylor and her
daughter, who is about ten years old, may
die. They were taken to the Emergency
Hospital, as was John Taylor, about six
years of age. The boys face was cut, but
his injury is not serious.
Most of the bones of Mrs. Taylor's face
were broken and there may be a fracture of
the skull at the base of the brain. Her lit
tie daughter received fracture at the base
OF the brain and her condition is regarded
as extremely critical. Mrs. Taylors condi-
ton is very serious.
The co1ored women. although badly in
Jured, are not in d serious condition Tnev
were taken to their homes in South Wash
irgton.
The street and sidewalks were crowded
with men, women and children II anxious
to see the District heroes upon their RETURN
from Santiago. The express wagon came
along virginia avenue, when the horse be-
came frightened, and the driver was unable
10 manage 1t, although he evidently did his
best. When he saw he could not stop the
horse he managed to throw the animal in
the street.
The horse soon got on his feet and made
another start in the direction of the side
walk.
This time the women and children I'm line
there became excited and a stampede fol-
lowed Three times the animal was thrown
put finally 1t got away from the driver and
dashed along the sidewalk, where the
crowd was thickest. When the animal was
finally stopped the people who had wit
messed the exciting incident hastily made
an investigation to learn the extent of the
damage, fearing the loss of life had been
very serious
This afternoon the doctors at the hospital
We're doing all they could for both Mrs.
Iaylor and her daughter. The child re-
manned unconscious, and. as already stated
the physicians feared her injuries might
prove fatal.

the drivers and members of his committee
as to what each was expected to do, and at
10 O'Clock the start was made for the
place of arrival. AS the long line of We
hicies, each and every one decorated from
top TO running gear with American flags
and bunting, passed down the avenue to Sd
street and thence to Virginia avenue they
attracted a great deal of attention from
the holiday crowd along the line of march.
Freight wagons followed the cOnveyances,
and these, too. were one mass of red, white

decided that it would be best to unload the
regimental horses and heavy equipment at
