the war department from the medical Of
ficers serving with troops in the Philip

brass tipped bullets.
Several American soldiers have been
wounded by the poisonous projectiles and
in consequence the wounds are more diff

ordinary bullet Of course the aulhori-
ties can do nothing to prevent the insur-
gents using any kind of bullets they see
tit. They have no government to which
an appeal can be made. Their action in
this respect officials say, is another in

RUBBER BANDS.

Rubber bands have supplanted
Irvine to great extent in the last few
years." observed a salesman in a drug
store as he slipped a band around a
package. up to ten years ago rub
Der bands were seldom seen outside of
a court house or a lawyers office, and
their use was confined almost eXclus-
lively to the filing of court documents
and papers. Now you find them every
where. Bands are used on all small
packages in drug stores, and they
have become an important factor in
the grocery business. They answer
the same purpose as Irvine, and are
adjusted much easier. And then a
more symmetrical package may be put
up with the bands, and that is the
pride OF good salesman. Yes, the
rubber band has come to stay.-Phila-

feet long, and slew the bull unaidad
with his spirited mount through a
series Of intricate evolutions, to show
off the PAGES Of the animal and his own
hOrsemanship
These were brave days for the young
men of Spain. They were supplanted
by the hull fighters, who entered the
arena for hire. These men at first took
more desperate chances than the others,
and, moreover, rode poor, broken down
horses, which were so slow and nerve
less that they could not avoid the cum
bersome charges Of the enraged bull.
The horses were gored, and this added
to the pleasure of the populace. The
more blood that is spilled and spat-
tered about, the greater the satisfac-
ton of the audience If some poor
picador is laid low their delight is su-
preme. If the matador is hasty and
kills the bull early in the fight without
giving the beast chance to gore some
one, the audience is angry. It has
been cheated of it's share of blood.
The next step in the degeneracy CT
the bull ring, according to Spanish au-
thorities, came with the appearance of
the woman fighter. From the ranks
Of the Barcelona mill hands, girls with
agile bodies, delicately curved ply
siques, handsome in face and form,
come the women bull fighters. As mill
hands they are virtually slaves, earn
ing only enough to keep body and soul
together. AS bull fighters they are the
idols Of the people, the recipients of
showers Of adulation, with fine clothes
and plenty of money to spend They
live under halo Of happiness aud
prosperity No wonder it is the dream
by day and night Of all the pretty dark
eyed girls shaving away in the mills
that they, too. will enter the arena
some day and kill bulls amid the wild
enthusiasm Of the best people of the
city.
It is almost needless to say that the
most popular Of these Amazons are The
prettiest and the shapeliest. They
wear the same garb as the men bull
fighters, and they ride the horse
astride. If they rode with the side
saddle it would be a most dangerous
proceeding, for firm seat is essential
to safety Of life and limb.
In the ring at some little distance it
is quite impossible to distinguish the
sexes. The girls are quite as tall as
the mer, and almost as heavily built.

I'm sorry for the lonely chap

Without fear Of noise;
Especially when with tireless vim
The circus band plays free,
And Willie says I'm taking him
When he is taking me.

With none to tell him all
About the jumping kangaroo
And the giraffe so tall;
To help him spell the words so long
Which curiously engage
His eyes, as, plodding through the

He looks from cage to cage.
No curly head bends DER the print
Spread out upon his knee,
To gather some pictorial hint
Of glories yet to be.
No treble notes of laughter check
His sneer at clownish SKILL
No little arms glide round his neck
When all is dark and still.
I'm sorry for him. IT'S the truth,
For he has lost them all,
Those youthful joys which only youth
Has power to recall.

And trudge the sights to see,
