RISKS OF BULLFiGHTING.
No Uncommon Thing For the Bull to
Climb Among the Spectators.

No Uncommon Thing For the Bull to
Climb Among the Spectators.
III the French are going to take up
bullfi%hting as one of their regular
anusements, ;" SAYS New Yorker who
has seen a good deal Of the peninsular
sport III its native home. ''they will
have to get themselves accustomed to
seeing a bull break loose, clear the bar
ricr and make himself gay among them.
10 judge by the talk there has been in
scme of the papers about what happened
at Detlil few Sundays ago. one would
ti.ink that such thing was quite IA
rare accident in the history of the bull
ring but in the c:;urse of Il single sea-
son that | was at Lisbon | must have
seen it happen at least half dozen
times-that is more than once for ev
cry Sunday | went to a bnlltight
What is rare is for a bull to get
clear away from the building and go
careering about the streets OF the neigh
borhood. That is prevented effectually
by the way a bull ring is built. To get
to or from your place you have to go
up on down flights of steps, and rather
barrow ones at that, and bull how
ever active he may be, is not good at
flights of steps.
THE bulls saw in the Lisbon ring
were active. being wiry, thin fanked
deep chested brutes that thought moth
ing of leaping over the barrier into the
narrow space between that and. the high
stone parapet in front of the spectators
seats Sometimes when Il bull had made
this jump in pursuit of fleeing capln-
ha' and couldn't find his man in the
passage he would half jump. half climb,
over the parapet When he got mp there.
he would flourish his horns about but
could do no damage to any one who had
the sense to get up and move out OF his
way You see. the benches around the
ring are set on sloping base of cement,
and that makes it impossible for d beast
with hoofs to move about Besides. the
benches always impede him.
You never hear women screaming
on those occasions All the women are
up in the boxes. and they know. be-
sides that there ism t any danger The
bull always gets pushed back somehow.
One day | saw a little cigar store clerk.
when bull landed close to him. coolly
get between the animals horns and
cover up his eyes until the attendants
came and dragged him off If that bull
had been on level ground, it would have
taken a thorough professional to go as
near him as that. and it would have
been at the risk of the mans life. -

has not been repaired is the fact that ii
belongs TO Uncle Sam. A matchmaker
would probably have charged 90 cents
TO replace the cord, but Uncle Sam is
not in the habit of allowing his repre-
sentatives to be arbitrary even for 90
cents. Here is the course that had to
be taken to fix the clock. which will
probably be ticking again within two
weeks. According to the rules Gus
todian Brickenstein of the building had
to be notified in writing that the clock
had ceased TO run He in turn was
obliged to send word to the general Gus
todian of federal buildings at Washing
ton and state specifically how the acci-
dent occurred
Custodian Brickenstein is now await
ing reply from Washington, which
will give him permission to see TO the
repairing In the account of expense
Custodian Brickenstein will itemize the
80 cents and attach to the statement Il
voucher from Inspector Waters detail
ing the whole thing over again.
1t might seem funny to an ordinary
citizen, but the officials are accustomed
to it For instance. one day last month
a roller top to desk in one of the fed
eral offices refused to work. and the
regulation mode was followed. 1t was
repaired last week.-Denver News.

rot1erin- Cas.ius Clay.

General Cassius NJ Clay is growing
blind, and his physicians fear that
they will be unable to save his sight.
Under the heavy burden of his age
and intirmities the lion hearted old
man is becoming more and more eccen-
tric. His constant delusion is that a
vendetta has been declared against
him.
The man whose naked knife was
once his sufficient protection against
all the world is now guarded in his
castle home night and day by armed
servitors.
Not one of these guardians. black or
white. who guard Whitehall would
hesitate for an instant to shOot-and
shoot to kill-were any intruder rash
enough to disregard their directions.
And to back up the orders there is a
loaded cannon at the front porch, and
the thick brick walls are pierced for
double barreled shotguns. = Kansas

Redmond felt that now was his chance.
ITS against the ethics of my profession
TO do such thing" said he. twisting his
beard to a point and then untwisting
il again, lust as it is bad form TO use a
stencil for anything except COWS in pas
toral scenes. but if you'll let me have a
chance to win Miss Woodruff I'll fill the
landscapes so full of ads. that they'll
crowd the trees out on 10 the frames.
Done by Jehosaphat.' cried the old
man, bringing his fist down upon the old
nelodeon with such force that it COM
planned.
Redmond's action may have been
crude, but both his pictures and his wife
are much admired, and as the landscapes
with the ads in them have never been on
the line anywhere it doesn't make much
difference if he did outrage the ethics of
painting.-Criterion.

He Wanted the Earth.

A well to do farmer dropped in upon
us the other day and said, Il guess I'll
take The Leader We told him all
right and acted glad. but he hadn't got
through, Tor he continued. I've got
some ewes and IA buck which | think
you 'orter' advertise for a few weeks
and give me the paper for a dollar. >
We couldn't see it that way. and he
wouldn't take the paper. Now, what
do you think of that? Could that same
man with good, straight face and a
clear conscience ask the grocer to give
him d barrel of sugar because he pur-
chased 10 cents worth of oatmeal? One
and the same thing. Our advertising
columns are our sugar, and the sub
scription list is our meal.-Linden

Ut0pianism.

"Utopianism" is another of the devils
pet words. believe the quiet admission
which we are all of us so ready to make
that because things have long been
wrong it is impossible they should ever
he rights one of the most fatal sources
of misery and crime from which the
world suffers. Whenever you hear a
man dissuading you from attempting to
do well, on the ground that perfection is
"Utopiap." beware of that man. Cast
the word out of your dictionary alto
gether. There is no need for it. Things
are either possible or impossible-you can
easily determine which-in any state of
human science. If the thing is impossi-
BILE. you need not trouble yourself about
it: if possible. try Tor it. 1t is very Tito
plan to hope for the entire doing away
with sin and misery out of the world, but
the Utopianism is not our business-the
work is-Ruskin

When the great account is rendered,

may be found that Uncle Russell Sage
has credit with kingdom come On
earth for the last % years the old
miser has been the butt end of all COM

of money meanness has been fastened
upon him because he was good tackle

The latest is about a meeting of n
board of directors. Having no other
place so cheap. Sage invited the men,

He Didn't Like Pledges.

Judge Martin Grover Of Troy, n. Y,
was at one time approached bxa young
citizen who wished to be nominated to
the state assembly. The shrewd old
Judge had certain doubts about him,
which he expressed somewhat freely.
and yet he was willing to afford him a
trial. He therefore addressed the as
pirant in this way:

your word that you won't steal when

Too Much For Celeste.

All the towns. now magnificent cities
with magnificent opera houses. were then
guiltless of any decent halls. and the Or
chestras were the great difficulties. In
Buffalo, very pretty village, the only
available music was one violin played by
an old daiky, and all he knew was
Hail, Columbia" and Yankee Doodle" +"
So. as Celeste danced twice, the orches-
ira % commenced the first time with

dance reversed the order of precedence
