NEW SPORT WITH A BULL.
An innovation of the Arena Which
Is Not Well Received by the
People of Spain.

Weary of ordinary bull-fghts, some
Young men in Madrid recently invented
a novel sport, reports a London paper.
Procuring a wild bull, they managed
TO saddle and bride it in the same man
ner as a horse and then drove it out
into a large arena, where a popular
Jockey was waiting with the intention
of irving to mount the Infatuated ami
NAL.
The seats around the arena were
filled with spectators, and great was
the excitement as the jockey ap-
preached the bull and dexterously en-
deavored to vault on its back For a
few minutes the animal foiled him
successfully, but finally the jockey got
into the saddle and then there was a
wild race around the arena.
Unfortunately, one of the girths
broke lust as the bull was beginning
to grow tired and the jockey was
thrown to the ground.
As the officials who have charge of
the bull-fghts have expressed their
disapproval of this novel sport, it is
scarcely likely that it will become pop
ular, in Madrid.

BUNDLES IN WASHINGTON.
They May BE Taken Into the Treas
ury building, But May Not Be
Taken Out.

Among all the departments in Wash
ington the most strict is the treasury
A citizen may carry anything that he
likes into the treasury building, but
when he undertakes to carry anything
bulky out of the building he is apt to
get into trouble if he does not explain
with readiness, says the New York
Mail and Express.
Avisitor to Washington the other day
carried a fairly large package into the
building. Nobody said word to him
about it when he was going in, but
when he started out with the package
he was held up, made to open it, and
to explain all about himself and his
business.
The good sense of the rule is appar-
ent. At the capitol it is against the
rules to carry any sort of a bundle into
the building The fear is that somebody
will carry in a bomb. The rule was
never enforced vigorously until the SEN
ate took up the Sherman repeal bill. At
that time the public mind became SC
influenced against the delay in the sem
ate that violence was feared, and the
rule was put into active operation and
continued for some years.
Then it dropped out of sight until the
Spanish war excitement came on, when
it was again enforced, and it is still
enforced rather strongly, although
during the last session of congress a
few cameras were allowed in the build
ing.

A CATCH IN THE BACK.

Grand View, Iowa, Sept. 29th.-MrS
Lydia Parker of this place says:
Il was troubled with backache all
the time for years. When 1 would
stoop over catch would take me in
the back and I could not straighten
up for some time.
81 tried everything could think of
but got no relief till I sent and got
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
81 used one box and part of another
before the trouble all left me, but now
1 am well and strong and have not
been troubled with my back for some
months.
81 believe my cure is permanent
one and I am very grateful indeed, to
Dodd's Kidney Pills for what they
have done for me.
81 would most heartily recommend
them to anyone suffering with lame
back, for I believe they will cure any
case of this kind.

TWO LITTLE ANECDOTES
OF OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE

Sporting Instinct.

urging the celebrated hunter to spend
the interim of time as his private cues
in his own mountain home. Then he
incidentally added that, within four
miles of his mountain house. was a
fine flock of mountain sheep. the pres
ence of which was entirely unknown
to the general fraternity of visiting
and local sportsmen. This flock. he
intimated, had long been known to
him, and he had therefore come to con-
slider it in the nature of private prop
erty.
Feeling sure that Mr.. Roosevelt
could not resist so favorable an oppor-
tunity to secure the head of noun
tain ram, he sent the invitation and
complacently awaited reply. 1t
came promptly. After explaining that
official duties demanded his immediate
return to Washington, the distin-
guished hunter reminded his CORE
spondent that the state of Colorado
had no "open season. permitting the
shooting of mountain sheep and that,
while this game was of a kind to stir
the blood of the most hardened hunter,
he could not for a moment consider
the possibility of violating the laws of
any state, no matter how seductive
the temptation. No man, he held, who
would violate the law of any state
could have true sportsman spirit!

The inhabitants of a certain Colo
RADIO city were anxious to secure the
presence of Mr.. Roosevelt at a civic
festival. 1t was when the famous
rough rider, then vice president, was
visiting in the state, and the problem
before the magnates of the festival
was to induce Mr.. Roosevelt to pro-
long his stay. But the man to
whom this task was delegated felt
that he could offer an inducement
which would appeal irresistibly to the
hunter heart of the man who has as
keen a scent for "big game" as ever
carried man through the hardships
Of a mountain trail.
After giving Mr.. Roosevelt cordial
invitation to attend the public fes-
tigal of his city he added an invitation

THE HOSPITAL CHILD.

When gentle sunset floods the skys
And just before the gloam,
They take me to the window high,
To see the hills Of home.
/ look beyond the city street,
Above the grimy roofs,
Far from the pavement's noise and neat
Far from the changing noo1s.
And eagerly my eyes discern
The hills remote and green,
And then / stretch my arms, and Year,
Ger wales that intervene.
One hill more green and high than all,
love to look upon;
There stands q. house, and voices call
A weary little one.
There by the lamp my mother sits,
My father reads his book,
Ny little sister plays or knits,
My dos is in his nook.
Amid the oaks, with pleasant caves
The house stands, white, secure.
It's form is hidden by the leaves,
Yet 1t Is there, I'm sure!
Some day this door shall open wide
And forth my feet shall go
To find the house the branches hide,
Thauall my heart shall know;
To find the dwelling marvellous
My dreams have made so fair
For though ] cannot see the house,

George AIDES Youthful
Fancy for Dog - ~ - -
A1dT1 Led o In
Recovering Fro Danger.

to part with his pet. One day, how
ever, when the boys of the town were
disporting themselves in the swimming
hole, the owner of the puppy threw the
latter into the stream to add to the gen
eral merriment.
AIDE arrived on the scene just as the
dog began to battle with the current.
Instantly he ran to log which spanned
the stream lower down, and there
awaited the arrival of the canine swim
mer-his whole nature in revolt
against the supposed cruelty of the
owner, and quite unconscious of the
fact that the strain of spaniel blood
in the mongrel made the creature
naturally at home in the water. Reach
ing down from his insecure perch on
the log, he seized the dog by the nape
it into his arms.
Suddenly there was a struggle-then
splash. Boy and dog both disappeared
into the stream. But when they came
to the surface young AIDE still retained
his grip upon the mongrel. And he
held it, too, until they were safely
ashore. Without pausing to dry his
clothes, the future author made a
quick retreat for home, carrying the
puppy with him. He claimed the lat
ter by right of rescue, and against the
protests of his family and the former
owner of the dog. Nothing could
move him from his position, and he
was eventually allowed full and I'M
disputed possession of his prize He
never wanted anything so much as he
did that dog, and its capture afforded
him more satisfaction than he has
since secured from the popularity of
"Artie," or his gables in Slang"

DIDN'T KNOW PING-PONG.
Father Thought His Daughter Was
In Love with Chinaman
by That Name.

The Oak Park girl had just come home
from her first ping pong party. She had
never played the game before that evening.
When she entered the library her father
was folding up his newspaper, preparatory
to going to bed, relates the Chicago Cnron-
icle.
DO you know, papa, discovered tonight
that | never really cared about anything be-
fore in my life, she said by way of introduc-
ton. Il want to tell you about it"
"Yes?" said the old man, with rising in
Election on the word. He was interested,
perhaps even little startled. His daugh-
ter's face was serious
Il have fallen in love with ping-pong"
What" exclaimed pater familias His
dismay now was unmistakable. just then
his wife entered the room. He turned indig-
nant eyes upon her.
You are nice woman!" he shouted at
her. What do you mean, madam, by bring
ing up your daughter the way you have
done. No, don't interrupt--it's matter
enough! Owing to you skillful management
our little girl has lost what sense she was
born with. She has fallen in love with a
Chinaman!"
Five minutes later the old gentleman was
apologizing both to his wife and his daugh-
ter, AS he went off to bed, however, he
muttered under his breath:

name for a camel"
