4 HAIR RAISING FEAT
Marvellous Exhibition at EaStlAke
 Park Saturday and Sunday.

Now comes something in the line of cowboy tournaments that is a real novelty and it will be seen at Eastlaile park next Saturday and Sunday after moons under the management Jf J JAcix Gibson. It is a story that many will disbeIieve at first glance no doubt for it seems not only wonderful put ;.n- possible to be accomplished day after day but MT. Gibson says he has tEe man who agrees to do the stunt and if he fails to make good the money Will be refunded at the gate.
 This man is a negro known tc fame as Bulldog Pickett" His turn is to throw steer with his teeth or 'n some manner that no one can describe oth-

erwise. Pickett cuts out his long huIn from the herd, riding on one side, while another cowboy rides on t"e other side and a little to the rear. forcing the steer to run in a sort of an imaginary chute. At the proper time Pickett leaps from his horse 10 the back of the steer, then grabbing the animal by the horns thrusts h'm- self forward between them, grabs the steer by the nose with his teeth, then throwing out his hands gives some sort of a jerk that throws the animal to the ground. It seems impossible for man to do this but Pickett claims to have given this exhibition all over Texas and at the worlds fair last year. He may get killed or he may fail some times but if he don't do the stunt at least once each day the money will be returned. The program though is for him to throw three steers each day get killed.
 To prove that the claims of Pickett are not overGrawn it chances that there was opportunity here yesterday to verify the accomplishment If lis feat. A gentleman who was stopptlS at the Hotel Adams was found by Mr. Gibson who brought him to The F.e- publican office to testify that PicEetCs claim is no fake. This gentleman lad with him a number of snap shot pie lures that he had taken himself, hav- ing witnessed Pickett's performance several times. The picture showed the man in every attitude of the perform ance and the camera in a mater Of that kind would not liz.
 In addition to this marvellous feat there will be other features. On the first day. Saturday. there will be bron- co riding. and on Sunday there will re a relay race. so the seeker after some thing wild and picturesque may have his tastes fully gratified. The steer throwing will be an event never wit messed in these parts before and in all probability it never will be again.

BRITISH AND FRENCH SAILORS.
Methods In the Navies of the Two
Countries contrasted.

Countries Contrasteo.
The nayies of France and England
have scarcely met for forty years.
and for the last twenty politeness
rather than intimacy has marked
their intercourse. Now that the
curtain Of reserve is Withdrawn IL
is interesting to contrast the methods
of the two services.
Discipline in both fleets exists SOLE
ly for the nation, so that in the day
of battle the will Of the commander
NAV be effective. Still, as educa-
ton and knowledge spread. discip-
line may. be maintained even when
old, hard coercive methods are re-
laxed. In the English fleet nobody
may smoke except when permitted.
In the French fleet anybody may
smoke except when forbidden.
The British code Of punishments
makes crimes of trif1ing infractions
Of uniform regulations. French sea-
men are neither so smart nor so alert
as ours, but, bei"g spared certain
vexatious rules, are conscious Of re-
tanning individuality. Has not the
time come to reconsider the details
of our code of discipline? To pun
ish grown men by quitting them In
corner for hours as punishment for
tiny errors of dress imperceptible to
landsmen Is doubtful policy. Pun
ishment of boys by fiogging may or
may not be necessary, but 1t is con-
trary to reason to make criminals OF
adults for acts which do not affect
the fighting efficiency Of ships.
The first thing that strikes me in
connection with the administration Of
the French navy is the rigid centrali-
zation. the overlapping Of authori-
ties, and the effect Of political
struggles on the executive. Without
the smallest pretension or wish to
criticize French methods, I cannot
but think that in such a matter as
gunnery-the appointment Of a mill
tary officer at headquarters to guide
and control naval gunnery-is GER
tain to cause friction, laXity and de-
terioration, although the French guns
are as good. or better, than the best
Germany produces.
At all events, If the information
given me Is correct, French target
practice at long distances does not
even attempt the achievement Of re-
suits which are already accepted as
matters of course In the royal navy.
This is the more remarkable, as the
French have invariably been the
pioneers Of almost every improve
ment in the material side Of naval
development. Ship armor. breech-
loading guns, submarines, abolition
of masts and sails. etc. are instances
Of French alertness to seize an idea
from which John Bull recoils with
bovine termination.-From London

NOT ALTOGETHER SATIsFAcToRY.-A
young civil engineer employed some
years ago on the line of the Alabama
Midland railroad, while he was at work
in Henry county, Alabama, CHANGED to
meet a piney woods lass with whom
he became infatuated. Among a col
lection of gifts which he presented to
her was a parrot and very pretty cage.
After leaving the section where his
lady love resided, he returned to pay her
a visit After a stay at her home of
some minutes, he casually inquired,
Mary. how did you like your parrot?'
With some hesitation, she replied, Not
so we'll, the meat was rather tough"
She had cooked the bird and eaten 1t.

doors that look all alike. But she was
sure of her own and tapped gently on
the panel.

whispered.

REMAINS OF HERMAN coRTEs.
Only One Man In Mexico Knows Where
They Are.

Only One Man In Mexico Knows Where
They Are.
In a dispatch dated at Madrid the
other day, 1t was stated that the Span
ish government had initiated negotia-
tions with the Mexican minister al
Madrid for the transfer to Spain OF
the remains Of Herman Cortes.
Nothing Is known Of this matter IN
the department Of foreign relations
but 1t is recognized that the mention
Of the subject opens up a field OF
highly interesting historical specula-
ton.
Where are the remains Of Herman
Cortes? To remove them to Spain 1t
would be necessary first to find them
or. rather, to locate them. 1t Is said
that there is but one man In Mexico
who knows the secret Of the where-
abouts of the remains Of the conquer
or and that man Is the distinguished
lawyer and representative in Mexico
Of the descendants of Cortes, Licen-
ciado Alaman.
Moreover, to remove the bones OF
Cortes to Spain would be q direct and
fragrant violation Of his last will. He
died In the peninsula In semi-dis-
grace with the court, and whether II
was due to bitterness at that circum-
stance or to affection for the land with
which he no doubt foresaw that his
name would, for all time to come, be
associated. the fact Is that by the
terms of the will executed at Seville In
1547 he directed that his remains
should. whenever he might die, be
transported to New Spain and Inferred
In the convent Of La Conception at
Coyoacan. .
The clause could not be carried out
to the fullest extent, for the prop
erty which he bequeathed for the
erection of convent Of nuns at Coyoa-
can under the advocation Of La Con-
cepcion was not sufficient for the pur-
pose, and said convent was never
built. There Is little chapel OF La
Conception at Coyoacan whose founda-
ton is attributed to Cortes. and that
Is all.
In consequence his body was Inferred
In the church attached to the Hospital
de Jesus, In this city, also founded by
him. There 1t remained until 1928
when. owing to the exaltation Of the
popular sentiment at that time against
everything Spanish. engendered by the
still recent war Of independence there
seemed to be danger Of the sepulcher
being profaned. To prevent 80 regret
table an act Don Lucas Alaman, the
representative of the Dukes Of" Mon
teleone, descendants Of Cortes, secret
ly removed the remains and gave II
out that they had been sent to Italy
and committed to the care Of said de-
scendants.
Thus only could project Of congress
which aimed at the destruction OF the
sepulcher Of Cortes and the scattering
Of his ashes to the wind be frustrated
But 1t is supposed that the remains
never left Mexico. but were hidden by
Don Lucas.
The Alaman family are still represen'
tatives Of the descendants OF Cortes
and 1t Is presumed that the worthy
head of that family knows the hiding
place of the bones Of the Conquistador
Perhaps at no distant day a monu
ment may be erected to Cortes In Mex
leo and his bones again repose In
consecrated spot in public view.-Mex'
lean Herald.

Tuesday there developed a pointer
that probably throws some light on
