TRAITS OF FIGHTING BULLS.
Easily Managed When Massed To-
gether-Some Have the Evil Eye.

From the Nineteenth Century
In Spain accidents to bull fighters ara
of frequent occurrence, and 1t Is interest
ing to see the hero of many fights swing
into the chapel attached to the bull ring
and kneel before the effigy of the Virgin
Mary before entering the arena.
Bull fighting is the national pastime.
Boys play at 1T in the cutters. and there
are bull fights for amateurs all over the
country. al which only two year old bulls
are used. and young and old descend into
the arena. Astounding is the enthusiasm.
Interesting. too. is the psychology of
bulls. When herded together they are
doclc CROUCH. and IT is a picturesque
sight to see the bulls brought into the
paddock prior to the fight through the
streets of the city when all are sleeping.
A cow trained to the business. with a bel
around her neck. is all that L. necessary,
and the bulls follow quietly behind her.
In the plains where the bulls are renred
men on horses manage them quite easily
SO long as they are masscd together.
Three bulls In the ring together would be
useless for a fight but each bull sepa-
rately will fight to the death.
Bulls literally see red Were Ii not that
a bull will always dash at anything red
the men in the ring would have no chaacs
whatever. Occasionally bulls have wnat
IS called the evil eye. and remain indiffer-
ent to the red capa extended to them. and
then the list, of casualties Is generally.
high. .- '-'
Sometimes a bull which has shown pro-
digious power and fight is pardoned by
the populace. A COW. kept for the pur-
pose, is then sent into the arena, and at
sight of her the bull forgets man and
the fury of the battle and gently trnts
behind to the paddock, as meek as any
heifer.
Many are the curiosities about bulls
which sometimes refuse to attack a par
ticular horse, and when a man is down,
motionless. disdain even to paw him.
Some bulls make instinctivcly for one
man and will chase him all around tbs
it, and if he falls will kneel upon mis-
body and gore him to shreds. There is no
mercy in bulls, and none is shown tn
them.

THE HORSE OF YoRE.
Was Thirty Feet in Height and Was
Hard to Mount.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Out in Wyoming a lot of scientific grub
bers have unearthed the fossil remains of
q horse thirty feet long and more than
thirty feet high. The grubbers seem to have
pieced the horse together without any COM
ment. and they don't offer word Of in
formation concerning either his gcneiloi
or his track record.
A horse thirty feet long would appear to
be lot OF horse. II he belonged to the
cave man the latter certainly had his hands
full. horse so tall that a thirty-foot lad
der became necessary when his bride was
to be put on might well be called tho
pride of the stable-although no ordinary
stable would begin to accommodate him.
III the cave man hadn't any ladder, ard
couldn't borrow one. the next best thing
was to climb a tree. Then try to imagine
him shining up a tall palm with the heavy
bride on his back. only to lind when he
attained the right altitude that the horse
had moved beyond reach and WAS peace
fully browsing on the tall grass Of the
Jungle!
or course a thirty-fo horse could he
expected to cover much more ground than
the ordinary animal of the same breed
even at walk And IL he took 1t into his
head to work his way across lots there
would appear to be nothing to impede him.
Fences would go down before him like
stubble, and merely playful cavort ould
carry him over raging torrents.
When a thirty-foot horse SHE'D at bit
Of white paper in the roadway the chances
are that he jumped clear over into the hext
county.
AS war horse the thirty-footer must
have been a STARTER. When he et out q
neigh the enemy fled in blind and unreason-
ing terror. When he champed his bft Fnd
paved the ground. the very hills shudlrr-
ed. When he switched his tail the hIrclng
foe fell about him like ripened grain.
And then think of the nightmare that
could be expected to follow the first sight
of this prodigious equine,
He certainly was a wonder. 1t is i great
pity we know SO little about him.

Development Of the Country Club.

From the New York Sun.
There has been a noteworthy revival of
interest in lawn tennis this season, and the
game Is more popular than ever on the
private and club courts. An interesting
phase of the development of the country
clubs, nearly all of which owe their estab-
lishment to golf, is the space given up to
lawn tennis The players have never had
SO many fine courts, while the country club
accommodations for players are superior to
those provided at the clubs organized solely
for lawn tennis In the early years of the
games popularity in the United States
Lawn tennis is primarily the gaze of the
youthful and agile, while golf finds its
warmest supporters. aside from the tourna-
ment players. among those of mature years
Many of the lawn tennis clubs of fifteen or
twenty years ago were usually cramped in
finances. Their buildings were of f1imsy
construction. All their money was needed
to keep up the courts. The question of
funds does not worry the older men who
maintain golf and, after links. the first
consideration to them is a comfortable club
house. The next is to make the club pop
ular with the families of the members
when the need of lawn tennis courts, a
good restaurant and ball room becomes
apparent. There must also be garage as
well as carriage house.
The sports of winter demand attention
If country club is to be worthy of the
name. The golfers, if they have a PARTIAL
ity, incline to the fine old Scotch game of
curling but that all tastes may be pleased
there must be at the club shooting box.
toboggan Slide a large pond for skating,
and courts for squash must be built. The
facility for winter practice with the rae
quets in the squash courts should be espe-
cialIy appreciated by the army of lawn
tennis players. AS a supplement to out
door work the new opportunities should
hasten the coming of an American worlds
champion at lawn tennis.

Fast Coast Train Piled Up at
Berwick Many Are
Injured.

This morning at Sis No. of the
Great Northern, the fast coast train
that runs via Larimore, was wrecked
three and half miles west of Bur-
wick. The train was west bound and
was running at the rate of SO miles
an hour when the rails spread. The
engine and mail coach passed over IN
safety, but the baggage coach left tho
track and went into the ditch. The
smoker left the track, clearing the
grade by 30 feet, and landed top-side
down at right angles to the track.
The fixtures were all torn loose and
all the glass In the car broken.
Strange as 1t may seem, no one was
much injured except the forward
brakeman. He sustained internal in
juries which may prove fatal.
All of the other coaches left the
track and landed right side DIP about
20 feet away. Every passenger in the
train was more or less bruised. The
cars We're badly wrecked and the fix
lures generally pulverized. The COL
ored cook in the diner was scalded in.
most horrible manner. His injuries
will probably prove fatal.
Fifteen people were more or less
badly injured. A block of track was
torn up and the grade leveled., The in
jured were taken to Towner and q
crew of fifty men are at work on the
track and will probably have it open
for traffic by o'clock.

Peculiar Bank.

The wreck at Cashel yesterday was
caused by most peculiar thing. The
snow had drifted to the depth of about
four inches over one rail and then
frozen. The other rail was perfectly
clear. When the train struck 1t, the
wheels on one side were thrown from
the rail and the engine shot out onto
the prairie. The snow lifted the en-
CINE wheels from the rail and caused
the wreck. A short distance in ad-
vance Of the place of the accident
there was bank on one side and a
ditch on the other. On the side of the
bank drift had formed to the middle
of the track, four feet high and almost
perpendicular. 1t was as hard as ice
and If the train had struck it there
would have been bad wreck. Most of
the passengers considered the wreck
most fortunate, as it was.

Needle Taken From Limb.

The other day most peculiar thing
occurred to the little daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. N X. Lincoln of this city.
The little girl had been restless and
seemingly unwell for several days.
Mrs. Lincoln saw something protrud-
ing from the child's limb just above
the ankle; it proved to be the point of
a needle. The needle was entire and
must have either been swallowed by
the child or else been driven into the
flesh in some unknown way. The lit
tie girl is feeling better since she has
become dispossessed of the most prim-
ative of sewing machines, of which
she became possessed i'll such mys-
FERROUS manner.
