BOY HAD PLENTY OF NERVE.

Was Not Discouraged By the Mad
kush of Infatuated Bulls.
There was an accident shortly after
the close OF q novillada at the Plaza
Mexico that came near resulting In the
death OF . few young hopefuls who
took It into their heads that they would
like to join In the national sport
Shortly after the crowd left the ring
. half dozen young boys Of ages rang
ing from IL to Is years got down into
the bull ring to play bull fight One
Of the number thought the game was
too slow. 20 while the ring attendants
were busy about other work he entered
the pen where the bulls were confined
and slyly let one Of them into the
ring
With . mad rush the big black puli
entered the ring. One of the little
boys had been using his plush linen
cape for a~capa in his plays with the
other boys and he was near the door
when the bull entered. Although one
Of the opposite gates was open the bull
made no effort to get away, but rushed
at the boy WIN the cape.
There was but one thing for the boy
to do, and he did II. With all the
knowledge which he had gained by
watching the matadors In the ring he
let the bull charge the cape. But his
arms were too short and the bull
struck him a hard blow, knocking the
little fellow fully fifty feet and tearing
his shoulder with his horn. The angry
bull then turned his attention to the
red cape
When the other boys saw the bull
charging them they fed for the fence
and climbed to safety, where they
watched the bull tearing the cape
Finally 1t occurred to one of the older
boys that by all charging for the bull
he might possibly be scared away
from the PROSTATE body of the injured
lad So with clubs and boards they
drove the bull from the ring. They
gave their attention to the bull none
too quickly. for he had tired Of paving
the cape and WAS making for the boy.
When the doctors got In their work
on the little fellow. whose name is
Angel Morelos. they found that the
wound was the only thing of conse-
quence. and that although the boy was
senseless from the blow there was
nothing of really dangerous nature to
fear from the accident, az the hurt
was flesh wound.-Mexican Herald.

Kill Army by Bolts.

concludes that the energy of 1000

stroy life at distance of twelve miles.

NEWSBOYS DETECTIVES.
Watchfnl of the Conduct of Street Lads
Under Their Auspices.

Ahcii <tusDlCtSs
1t is sad day when member of
the Toledo Newsboys Association goes
wrong, and it is especially sad for the
boy. The detective work under the
system adopted by the association is so
thorough that the wrongdoer is quick
ly brought to cover.
A few of the new members of the
association are inclined to follow the
methods adopted by some men of get
ting rich in a hurry, and when a quar-
ter or more is given, the boy is at
times tempted to run away, little real
fzing that it is next to impossible to
hide his theft. Happily, however, such
cases are rare, and it is seldom car
rier goes wrong.
few days ago a lady on Adams
street gave a carrier new dollar bill
for two weeks delivery of a local pa
per. The youngster, boy of IL, took
the money to get change, and did not
return. The case was at once brought
to the attention of Mr.. Gunckel. The
name of the boy could not be given,
but the style of his hat and color of
necktie and shirt was sufficient de-
scription for the watchful eyes of the
officers of the association who were set
to work on the case.
The Executive Committee was noti-
fed, and in three days the boy was
found. He was told that he must go
to the woman, apologize for what he
had done and pay her what he owed
her. 1t was a bitter dose. but it had
to be swallowed. After it was all over
the little fellow said: II am glad now
l went to the lady and Strengthened it
all up, for the stealing of that dollar
worried me so l couldn't sleep. l will
never again be dishonest"
The boy is a bright lad, and the
temptation to take what did not be-
long to him grew out of evil associa-
ton, as he said when charged with
the theft that "other boys did it,
Mr.. Gunckel is determined to break
up this bad habit and is being backed
by the officers of the association and
the large per cent of the members who
realize that such an act brings dis
grace to the association. - Toledo

JAPAN's CONSTITUTION.
Important Difference Between 1t ana
Constitutions of Western Nations

Important Difference Between 1t and
Constitutions of Western Nations
There is an important difference be-
tween the constitutions of western ma
tions and that of Japan. The former
are the outcome of popular uprisings
against the tyranny of rulers-in other
words, of a demand, as of natural
right, by the people. Consequently,
even in monarchical Europe, constitu-
tons are drawn In such terms as to lay
the greatest stress upon popular rights,
while, at the same time, curtailing the
power of the sovereign. The Japanese
constitution, on the other hand, ema-
mated from the Emperor. the fountain
head of all power. Before the people
dreamed of popular rights or of a par
lament, the Emperor had already
marked out the grand policy of estab-
fishing constitutional government in
the future, because of his evident de-
sire and purpose to elevate the coun-
try to an equal place among the civil
lied nations of the world, not only be-
cause he wished 1t, but also because
that course was in strict accordance
with the national policy bequea thed by
his imperial ancestors. Following that
policy, our constitution was drawn up
with close adherence to and careful
preservation of the fundamental prin-
ciple of the imperial government from
time immemorial.
In form. however, it Is similar to
western constitutions, with this differ
ence, that the text of our constitutions
contains only the fundamental princi-
pies of State. namely, the prerogatives
of the Emperor; the rights and duties
of the people; the powers of Parlia-
ment; the powers and duties of minis
tiers of state and judiciary and finance.
These are all embodied In seventy-slx
articles. Matters of detail. such, for
example, as provisions relating to the
rules and proceedings of Parliament.
the laws for the election of members.
the national budget, etc, are separated
from articles enunciating fundamental
principles, and are embodied in laws
supplementary to the constitution and
enacted at the same time-Baron

WILL SEND RELICS.
Visitors At Worlds Fair to See Indian
Relics.

Davenport. Feb. 2s.-visitors from all
over the world to the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition will undoubtedly
have an opportunity of viewing the
finest, OF the mound builders relics OF
the Davenport Academy of Sciences.
At the regular monthly meeting held
Saturday evening the matter was dis
cussed and looked on favorably by the
members present. 1t was a matter of
much moment, however. that the arr
rangements for sending the relics to
81. Louis was left with the board of
trustees for definite determination.
These relics are acknowledged by
scientists all over the world to be the
best In existence. No collection is 30
complete and nowhere can the study
OF the early Inhabitants OF the
Mississippi valley be studied better
than at the Davenport Acadamy. The
collection consists of skulls, pottery.
pipes and stoneware taken from the
mounds in the vicinity Of Davenport
and from all over the valley. They
represent years of work on the part of
Captain Hall. who collected many OF
them. and other early pioneers.
From o study OF the relics taken
from the mounds students OF the sub

Mississippi ages before the white man

joint track used by the Illinois Central
to obtain access to it's freight depot and

Great Northern will do its own switch
ing.
The Great Northern officials stated
after thorough examination of the
terminal property by an engineer last
week that the burlington connection
was not made. the Terminal property
would be larger than would be needed
for their business. hut it would all be
needed. The fact that exclusive use
of the property was obtained strongly
indicates that the Great Northern ex-
poets to need its entire capacity.
In the face OF this and the fact that
the lease of the property commits the
road to the use of the combination
bridge over the Missouri here. 1t is not
to be expected the road will build an
other bridge and an additional terminal
at Yankton for crossing there.
1t now develops that the Yankton
proposition, as we'll as the construc-
