THE BUlLFlGHTER.

Picturesque, Self Conscious and the
Popular Hero of Spain.
You could never mistake bullfghter
for q 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 shaven, he
must wear tiny pigtail, his jacket
may not come below his waist line, his
shirt is deeply fluted, and in its front he
wears as magnificent Il 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 cafe table is a
distinction, and the youngest of Mad
rid'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. 1t is q survival of the re-
lations 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.

The Woman and the window.

Why is it, asks an exchange, that
woman can struggle until she is red in
the face and worn out both in temper
and body by window in a railroad
train in her vain endeavors to close OF
open it when all that man has to do
is to walk up and go over exactly the
same line of action that she has already
exhausted, and down comes the refrac-
tory window in a jiffy? 1t Is a most
humiliating fact, but very true one.
nevertheless, that not five women out
Of a dozen ever succeed in arranging a
window to their satisfaction. They
pull and tug until they are embarrassed
and finally in a pleading manner look
around at some slip of man, who
without any nonsense brings about the
desired effect, while the woman looks
on in silent wonder at his marvellous
skill and deXterity.

She Needed 1t.

An old colored woman who had saved
up a little money went to her lawyer
to consult with him about investing it
profitably. When she was asked, says
Harper's Magazine, what interest she
expected, she answered in a very sure
and emphatic manner:
'Ewelve per cent, Mr.. Jedge."
When the attorney expressed some
surprise, she explained her position
thus:

THE APOSTLES.

EmhIe1ns BESTOWED Upon Them by
the Medieval Artists.
The medieval artists, having no idea
of the personal appearance Of the Say
iour's followers, adopted 4 set of signs,
or emblems, for each, which soon be
came familiar to all. The emblem of
Peter was either Il large key or two
KEYS crossed, which is readily explain
ed by referring to the words of Christ
CMatthew xvi. 19l, And l will give IN
TO thee the keys of the Kingdom of
heaven" The emblem of Paul was 4
sword and Il book-the latter to remind
the behOldcr that he was Il teacher Of
men, the former to Indicate that he was
beheaded with sword. st. Andrew
was usually figured standing by cross
shaped Ike a letter y, that being the
form of the cross upon which legend
saws he was crucifed. The emblem Of
ST. james the Great was either sword,
referring to the fact that he was also
beheaded or 4 pilgrims staff, he being
a great traveller.
st. Johns emblem was cdldron, re
ferring to his experience i'll the boiling
oil. St. Philips emblem is an enigma.
1t was Il spear and cross, yet it is
known that he was hanged. ST. Bar
thoIomew. who was "ndyed alive is
represented with Il knife and his skin
| hanging over his arm. Matthews EN-
blem is 4 square, supposed to have
some reference to Cmist's calling. st.
Thomas, having been pierced with a
dart" is pictured carrying a spear.
The emblem of James the Less was a
club, he having been beaten to death
with faggot;' st. Matthias an AK, he
having been beheaded. Simon's EN-
blem was saw. The legend says The
was sawn asunder."

Haekneys and Daehshunds.

Hackneys Of skyscraping knee action
are to some extent freaks in horseflesh
of little more real value to mankind
than dachshunds, the sawed off dwarfs
among dogs. The little child who said
of this ridiculous splayfooted, bowleg-
ged caricature of the canine race that
it must have been born under bureau
hit the mark exactly. The nose smit-
ing, cloud Gaping horses that try to
throw their front legs over their ears
at every stride are grotesque aberra-
tions from sound and admirable types.
They and the dachshunds should dis

A Remarkable Banquet Party.

One of the most notorious Hungarian
duelists fought his thirty-fifth duel in
1856 and celebrated the event by a BAN
quet, to which only those who could
prove that they had participated in at
least six duels were invited. There
was room full Of such warriors, some
with faces scanned with scars, others
minus an ear, an eye or with two or
three fingers missing. The most marked
of all was a Frenchman who had lost
his nose in an encounter with Count
Andrassy, the statesman. There was
only one relaxation of the rule, and that
was made in favor of a lady who had
killed her man.

A Gentle Hint.

A certain butcher is renowned among
his contemporaries for the quaintness
and originality of some of his remarks.
On road leading to Il neighboring
parish he one day met a gentleman who
at the time owed him for some meat.
After a salutation the gentleman re-
marked:
That's a fine fat dog you have, Al
exander."
"Sae weel he may, sir" was the reply,
"for he has an easy conscience and is

CAMPING in THE
NATIONAL PARK
There is no Truth in the RumOr
That il Will BE Forbidden
After This Year.

A story has been in circulation for the
past two months that after the present
year camping in the National Park
would be forbidden. From what source
it started we have been unable to learn,
but the following letter written by Mr..
+. Il. Culver, a brother of Mrs w. A.
Tyler entirely refutes it. Mr.. Culver is
and has been for several years passenger
agent of the Northern Pacific Branch
from Livingstone to Gardiner, and is
thoroughly posted on the situation.
In his letter to Mrs. Tyler he says:
II am rather surprised at any one
thinking than camping would at any
time be forbidden in the Park When
congress passed verdict that the sec
ton known as Yellowstone National
Park should be reserved it stated for
the benefit and enjoyment of the people
for all time There are roads being
built east, west, north and south of the
Park for the purpose of encouraging
people to come and enjoy the beauties
and wonders of the Park. The road
built from the West Thumb of the
Yellowstone lake to the jackson Hole
country is for the people. From the
Fountain to Riverside, also. Tell your
friends they can camp through Wonder
land next year and all the years to
come, until the congress of our country
forbds it. and | scarcely think they
will ever do that Tell them to come.
II will put new life into them, and they
will feel it is good to be alive.

COMPARISON OF
CONDITIONS.
Snake River Valley More PrOduc.
tive Than LaGrande
Valley.

Arnold D. Miller returned to Fremont
County Tuesday, from LaGrande, Ore,
where he went last fall. and purchased
so acres of the best farm land, for the
express purpose of trying that country
and comparing it with the Snake river
valley, and more especially that portion
of it so widely known as the Egin Bench
section. In an interview with a PEAK
reporter Mr.. Miller gave very interest
ing comparison of the two great sec
tons which is the best understood in
his own language, Mr.. Miller says:
Il purchased one of the best tracts of
land that there is in the valley half
mile north of the city. My wife and
live in town and we are surrounded by
all the necessities and many of the
comforts of life, and we like the climate
it being very mild and the winters are
short The land is of rich character
and very productive, but there is little
or no water with which to irrigate, and
it Is necessary to depend on rain. This
year there has been shortage of rain,
and the crops have suffered beyond
estimation, the fruit crops, however, has
| been abundant
I'VE people in Fremont county are
blessed with water supply from the
| =
comprehension of those who have never
witnessed our thorough system of irriga-
ton and taking everything into con
sideration, any portion of Fremont
county excells the LaGrande valley for
stock raising and general agricultural
purposes.
II will not sell my land in Fremont
county although Mrs Miller and | will
spend the most of our time at LaGrande,
her health being much improved since
going there.
Wheat out there this year will go
about 30 to 35 bushels per acre, barley
about 80 bushels, and hay is not in it at
ali. There is little alfalfa grown in the
whole valley, and what there is | would
estimate at abont two-thirds of a crop.
Prices are good, wheat is worth 70
cents per bushel hay from $500 to
SO 90 per ton, and barley 80 cents per
bushel, the cherry and apple crops were
Immense, and there was Il heavy yield
Of small fruits

out in that country was elected to the
