Probate Court of Logan County, Ohio:

The Plaza de Toros was crowded,
for to-day the attraction was doubled;
besides their fayorite matador, Jose
Narvezzo, they were to have the
famous bull Devileto, who had already
killed seven men and many horses.
The sport promised to be bloody, yet
women and young girls were there
in holiday attire, casting from behind
their fans coquettish glances to the
men, laughing, smiling happy as
though they were here at an ordinary
entertainment, not a spectacle in
which blood would flow and perhaps
where human life would be destroyed.
They would in an instant be as ready
to cheer the victorious bull as the
matsdor, who would remain their

ready, sword in hand. smile of de-
fiance on his lips. a strange express
sion in the eyes. This time the sword
did its work, for as the bull rushed
upon him the second time he plunged
it to the hilt into the quiverlng flesh.
The animal gave one howl of rage and
pain. then fell rolling to the ground.
The man had conquered the beast;
the spectacle of blood was at an END.
The crowd, mad with enthusiasm,
cheered the conqueror; women cried
as they cast their rings or jewels into
the ring; men threw money. The
matador was reaping his golden har-
vest. Suddenly a deep hush followed
the clamor. All eyes turned in one
direction toward the door which ad-
mitted the performers into the ring.
Jose, surprised by the silence, turned
also, and could scarcely retain an ex-
clamation as he saw Fontella coming
toward him. picking her way amid the
dead horses.
When she got up to him she paused
and in tones which rang clear and loud
in the silence said:
Jose Naryezzo, you have conquered
to-day the fiercest bull in Spain.
Others have cast their tributes of gold
at your feet; l bring you mine Here
is my hand take it if you want it,
| am yours for life"
The scandal was great. The gov
ernor was furious, but Fontella had
won. After that scene at the bull fight
it was impossible for him to refuse his
consent, so some two months later
Narvezzo, having left the ring, became
Fontella's husband, once more prov
ing the saying that when there is a
will there is way.

Down on the Prairies

How still the prairies lie at early dawn!
These rolling landscapes of unbroken
sod
Ere yet the shadows of the night are
gone
These pillows stiffened by the voice
of Cod
Seem now to hold dim ages as in pawn:
To witness his prophetic ruling rod;
That earth's wide turmoil here at last
shall cease
And mans rebellious heart be awed to
peace.
The wind moves slow, as If It would
not wake
The million blades of grass that ra-
Cnmounted jewels of the dew, nor shake
The clustering blooms within the or
chards fair,
Nor fret the surface of the shallow lake.
Nor vex the vast sweet silence of the
air,
That he who seeks the sinless mornings
May feel the soothing of the prairie's
balm.
How soft the light falls on the gracious
scene!
Field after field, in green and gold
array,
Rises distinct: the anchored clouds are
seen
To glide, stately fleet. upon their
way;
While futing low within their coverts
green
The songbirds seem to dream of COM
ing day;
And all the sweep of clearing sky and
land
To love and faith mans spirit doth
command.

favorite as long as he remained I'M
conquered.
The blaring of trumpets announced
that the spectacle would soon begin,
the picadors and banderilleros in their
respondent costumes on those proud
horses which, before long, would lie
dead on the sand of the arena, and
the matador, more handsome, more
calm than ever, made their appearance
and paraded around the arena. The
show had begun.
Jose looked eagerly toward the gov
ernor's seat. He was there, but alone.
Fontella was not with him. A feel
ing of disappointment came to him.
This was followed by a doubt which
paled his cheek Had she duped him,
had she played a comedy for the sake
of having him, the unconquered, at
her feet? But this thought, instead of
weakening his courage, caused him to
straighten his tall form; he would
show her that he was a man who
could be victorious in spite of all.
Those who watched his face at that
moment murmured:
'Narvezzo will conquer; such look
of resolution never courts failure"
When the bull entered it was easy to
see that the stories told of his vicious
temper had not been overestimated.
He was beautiful animal, jet black
in color, with long, sharp horns and
eyes that burned like Goals, his heav-
ing TANKS, switching tail and the
manner in which he scattered the sand
with his paw showed that he was used
to this display and that he was only
too ready to do his part.
1t did not last long; in a few In
stants four horses lay bleeding on the
sand, torn open by those terrible
horns. One picador was dead; blood
was everywhere. Still the fans in
womens hands went backward and
forward in lazy Incidence, while eyes
which seemed to have been made only
for tenderness gazed with evident sat
isfaction upon the CORY scene.
At last the matador entered. Jose
Narvezzo never appeared so calm, so
proudly Indifferent as to-day. In his
right hand he held the sword. with
which he was to Stay the now mad
dened bull For an instant they stood
face to face. the man and the beast.
Then, with below of rage, the ami
NAL charged his new enemy. Jose
did not move, his sword was ready;
just as the bull came up to him he
raised the weapon. but 1t fell on one
OF the horns and broke itself in two.
HE has lost, the bull has won!"
rose on every side.
But no, he had not lostl In one
leap he had jumped to one side. the
bull charged on, burying his horns in
the sand little distance away. This
gave Jose time to take sword which
one of the men handed him, and
when once more the baffied bull turned

Found Rather In Bed.

Miss Julia Lincoln, of Montclair, a
guest at Mountain View Farm, near
marlborough, N. Y, took nap and
awakened to find rattiesnake about
two feet from her, coiled and ready
to strike. His warning rattle had
awakened her.
Miss Lincoln managed to secure an
alpine stock and struck the reptile
a heavy blow, which made it show
fight. 1t savagely came for her, and
she struck it again, but not hard
enough to render it powerless. The
snake again struck at her, but she
pushed it away and managed to es-
cape from the room. The hired man
later dispatched the reptile.
The window of Miss Lincoln's room
faced a sloping roof, against which
rested a number of poles. 1t is be-
lieved that the snake climbed the
poles to the room.

SEA POWER OF THE NATIONS
Great Changes Made, But England
Still Leads


Still Leads.
In a review of the sea power Of the
great nations the Naval Annual shows
that in the ten years from 1892 to 1902
these changes have occurred:
1. Russia, Germany and the United
States have all become the owners of
as many battleships as France, which
ten years ago was in that respect Sec
ond only to Great Britain.
2. Japan's navy has been created
and, for Asiatic purposes, is united
with Great Britain's.
3. The British and Japanese navies
together number forty-seven armor-
clads of the frst-class-three more
than the combined total of Russian,
French and German warships of that
class.
4. France has made armored cruis-
ers the prime feature of her new con-
struction and will shortly count thir-
teen of them.
5. Great Britain has well maintained
her lead over her two most probable
adversaries and now counts twenty
nine first-class battleships ready for
action, against seventeen for France
and Russia combined.
Assuming that the United States
does not join it the Naval Annual con-
cludes that no combination of naval
powers could be made strong enough
to destroy British sea power.
