BULL T0SSES MATADOR

FL Paso. Tex, March 3l--The usual
Sunday bull fight at Juarez. Mexico,
was accompanied by somewhat UNI
usual feature, the goaded animal turn.
ing the tables on the matadOr. Several
bulls had been brought into the arena,
rather tame from a Mexican stand
point. There were many Americans
among the spectators who were some
what disguised with the brutal show.
as horse after horse was gored by the
tormented bulls, while the piCadors and
matadors escaped scatheless.
This was all changed, however. when
Jarilgo. the premier matador was pre-
pairing to thrust his long double-edg-
ed sword into the heart Of the fifth bull
which had faced him. 1t stood in the
center of the arena, bleeding from
many wounds. Suddenly the bull made
quick lunge for the fighter. So UNI
expected was the attack that the fight
er was unable to make the customary
side step. He was caught on the bulls
horns in the middle of the body and
tossed about like toy balloon. Be
fore he could be rescued Jarilgo's cloth
ing was literally stripped from his body
and his right leg and hip were severe
ly lacerated. II will probably prove
his last bull fight, as It is not thought
that he will be able to step into the
ring again as a matadOr.
As the bull tossed the man high in
air, receiving his body on its horns
only to again toss It up, the Americans
among the spectators cheered the ami
NAL loudly. which called forth a storm
of Kisses from the MeXicans present,
and for a time it looked as though
there would be a collision between the
two races.

Sometimes a piano will develop, or

note Is sounded.
The owner of fine piano sent to
us one day to say that there was some.
thing wrong about a certain note Or

an unpleasant sound when struck.
When | heard the note sounded !
knew at once that the disagrccablc

not 10 any defect in the piano. but to
something sOmt where about in the

that note occasionally, | walked around

she stood under the chandelier and
struck the note. she was readily CuG

II made the globe immovable. and
then struck the note on the piano. The
answer was clear and sweet and true
so. you see. the sound of piano

SAVING IN GOOD ROADS.
Figures to show Why the Entire
Country should Have the Very
Best Of Highways.

An Indiana engineer has been esti.
mating the cost Of transportation by
road and has produced strong argu-
ment for the very best roads.
He figures that the cost Of moving
one ton by horse power over one mile
of dry, sandy road is 6 centss over
wet sand, 80 cents; over ruts and mud,
80 cents; over broken stone and ruts,
rs cents; over. an earth road that is
dry and hard, IS cents; oyer q broken
stone read in good condition. cents;
over compact gravel road, s,s cents;
over stone paving baa cents; over
asphalt, 2.7 cents.
The engineer argues that II wagon
transportation at cost Of five cents
a mile ton could be- universal in this
country, many millions of dollars
would be saved, and millions Of tons
Of merchandise. which cannot now be
handled at profit would be available
in the markets.
