Cuckoo" was regarded as an expert
with the sword, and when he faced the
fourth bull to administer the coup de
grace to the exhausted animal no one
doubted but that the death OF the
beast would result from one clean
thrust. Contrary to expectations. the
bull did not die instantly, but sank to
his knees in mortal agony. Cuckoo"
then attempted to give the brain thrust
and complete his work, but as he bent
over the bull hastily regained his feet
and tossed the matador into the air.

tearing the flesh in a horrible manner.
The dying man was quickly wrapped In
a blanket and carried from the arena.
while the victorious bull rolled over in
the sand, to rise no more. Several thou
sand people witnessed the fight and
many were sickened by the closing
spectacle.
Cuckoo was a favorite with the
Mexican masses, and his untimely end
caused much sorrow among the Mexi-
can poems.

to prevent her from alighting from the
moving vehicle.
Mrs. McHugh, who bailed herself
out Immediately after her arrest, made

What a week! 1t would seem that
the world was taking the German rest
cure. Nobody nowhere-one is tempted
to say-save at card party now and
then, a luncheon, or a periodical din
ner.
But referring to rest cures it is no
figure of speech to say that society is,
or has been, taking the treatment for
rebuilding flesh, limbering muscles and
rejuvenating skin-for the sanitariums
contain many tired women who have
paid for their social supremacy by
burning up their vitality.
But Easter is nigh, and the bonny
chapeau will set jauntily over mad
ame's restful face, rosy and round for
the weeks Of vigilant care.
