THE BULLFlGHTER.
Picturesque, Self Conscious and the
Popular Hero of spain.

Picturesque, Self Conscious and the
Popular Hero of spain.
You could never mistake a bullfghter
for man of any other calling. He
enforces upon himself a street costume
the details Of which are as immutable
as those Of a soldiers uniform. His
hair must be brushed forward over his
ears. he must be smooth shayen, he
must wear a tiny pigtail, his jacket
may not come below his waist line, his
shirt is deeply tluted, and in its front he
wears as magnificent a diamond as his
earnings and the gifts of his admirers
can supply. When he walks the streets
on his high French heels, glancing self
consciously from beneath his fiat brim-
med sombrero, he is followed on every
side by pointed fingers.
TO sit with him at a cafe table is
distinction, and the youngest of Mad
rd's golden youth flush with pleasure
when in public places he mods to them,
At the fashionable hour in the Prado
they give him the seat of honor in the
automobile. Ii is survival of the re-
latiens of the patron" and the gladi-
ator. And in return for this social rec
Ognition when Sunday comes, the mat
adore before he kills the bull bows to
the box in which his rich patron sits
and throws him his three cornered hat
and by so doing fills with envy the
hearts of $4,000 men.
What the effect his fame, his silken
calves and his cloth OF gold have upon
the women of Spain has been sung by
generations of poets, playwrights and
novelists Of his own country.-Richard
Harding Davis in Scribner's.

TWO SECRETS.

s.How's business. Eben?"
The old man was washing at the sink
after his days work.
"Fine, Marthy; finer .
docs the store Iooksjust the same,
with the red garanium in the window?
Land, how I'd like to see it with the
sun shining in! How does it look, Eb-
en?"
Eben did not answer for a moment.
When he did, HIS voice shook q bit.
'"The stores never been the same
since you left, Marthy."
A faint little flush came into Martha S
withered cheek. Is wife ever too old
to be moved by her husbands fattery?
For years Eben and Martha had kept
a tiny notion store; then Martha fell
sick and was taken to the hospital.
That was months ago. She was out
now, but she would never be strong
again-neyer be partner in their happy
little trade again.
81 can't get over a hankering for
sight of the store" thought Martha one
forenoon. eff l take it real careful, /
can get down there. 'Tisn't so far.
Eben II scold, but he'll be tickled most
to death"
1t took a long time for her to drag
herself downtown, but at last she stood
at the head of the little street where
the store was All Of sudden she
stopped. Ahead, on the pavement,
stood Eben. A tray hung from his
neck, on which were arranged a few
cards of collar studs, some papers Of
pins and shoelaces. Two or three hold
ers were in his shaking old hand, and
as he stood be-called his wares.
Martha clutched at the wall of the
building. She looked over the way at
the little store. It's windows were filled
with fruit, and an italian name fiut-
tered on the awning. Then Martha I'M
derstood. The store had gone to pay
her expenses. She turned and hurried
away as fast as her trembling limbs
would take her.
at will hurt him so to have me find
out" she thought, and the tears tric-
kled down her face.
'He's kept secret from me, and III
keep one from him." she said to her
self. HE shan't know that know"
That night when Eben came in, chill
ed and weary, Martha asked cheerful
ly the old question:

Better n ever, Marthy," answered

STRIKE MAY RESULT.
L. and N. Employees Will Present
Grievances.


Birmingham, Ala, Dec. IA spe-
cial from Nashville, Tenn, says:
1t is learned on reliable authority
that a strike of all union labor on the
Louisville and Nashville's entire sys-
TEN is imminent. unless demands are
corceded by President Milton H.
Smith. A conference was to have
been held in that city yesterday be-
tween Mr. Smith and representatives
Of every union on the entire system,
and it is known that the engineers
and fremen. and probably the con-
duct0rs and the tr2inmen, will make
demands for an increase OF wages.
The Southern delegates to the con-
ference left Nashville on Wednesday
night and were in Louisville all day
Saturday. Nothing was done, however,
and it IS understood that the hand of
the union labor representative will
be shown today.
The demands are to be made by
every union on the system, which will
include Louisville, Montgomery, Biz
mingham, New Orleans, Cincinnati
and a number of the other large cities
on the system. The cause for COM
plant, it is understood, lies in the
fact that the scale of wages has not
been raised since the road put into
operation more powerful equipment
than that upon which the men were
paid the same wages which they re-
ceive now.

Chicago Vivlsectionist Making Inter.
esting Experiments.
Chicago, Dec. 22.-After a series of
experiments covering a period of more
than five years, w. Byron Coakley, a
well known vivisectionist of Chicago,
has discovered that to administer 10
cal treatment to the heart is not the
impossibility the worlds scientists
have always held it to be.
By means of a fine, hollow golden
needle, Z or 8 inches long, which he
terms an "organotone, DR.. Coakley
not only has been able to pierce the
heart without causing death, but to
inject into 1t various fluids without
subjecting the patient to thesslightest
danger. Thus far DR.. Coakley has
been compelled to confne his ex

animals, but so certain is he of his
ground that he will attempt to secure
