In Fly Time.

Il wish we could extern mate flies.
They are as usless and as harmful as
snakes.
"And how prolific! From June to
September the average fly mother
accumulates family of 1000, 900 child
rem. If all these children lived the
flies would crowd mankind off the
earth.
But flies, as it Fortunately happens.
are particularly afflicted with micro
scopic parasites and with innumerable
sorts of germ diseases. These kill them
off, and they are also killed off Dy
birds and bats and toads.
"An odd fact about flies is that they
never sit down. They could if they
would-their hind legs would fold
under them like a dogs or a horses
But, no; no sitting down for Mr.. Fly.
He comes into the world ON his feet
and he departs on his feet Think OF
it, not to sit down once from birth to
death"

A physician says: Until last fall

the Grape Nuts, and since then | have
not had any Indigestion and am feeling
better and have Increased in weight.
"Since finding the benefit | derived
from Grape Nuts | have prescribed the
food for all OF my patients suffering

also for those recovering from disease

COCKFIGHTS IN HAVANA
BY ROBERT KUESTERMANN

The cockhght, a sport sas ancient as
the bullfighf, is even at the present
time one of the popular amusements
among the Romantic races, Chinese,
Persians and others. Though to be
condemned from the standpoint of the
moralist and humanitarian, and not
in accordance with the civilization of
our day, it must be admitted to be the
most sportfve of all similar contests
in vogue, for it has all that is es-
sential TO true sport.
Like being created for the arena.
gameness and cunning are natural to
the cock, especially to the Spanish
gameeock. He has no need to be
trained to it. The moment he meets
his adversary he knows where the
same is most assailable and which
stratagem to follow.
Cockfghts in Havana come Off ON
Sundays and holidays, rarely during
the week, and usually begin at 10
o'clock in the forenoon, right after
mass, and last until sunset. But one
pair of cocks fight at time.
When we entered, the cockpit. with
a seating capacity of about 300. was
nearly filed. In the ring stood the
referee and, each carrying his bird
under his arm, the two proprietors of
the rivals. A beam, from the ends of
which two bags were suspended, was
hanging in the center. The ROSTERS
were put into these bags to be
weighed, for unless they are of equal
weight they are not admitted. There
after the cocks made the rounds of
the spectators, their fighting propen.
stiles being highly commended by the
owners. Bets were made, and the
probable outcome of the match com.
mented on. On closer examination we
found that chest and body of The
game-cocks were plucked, the natural
spurs Topped, and gaff1es or steel spurs
put in their places.
AS soon as the referee had given
the signal for the beginning, the own
ers, who likewise do the seconding,
hurried back to the ring and put
down The cocks simultaneously.
The cocks had impatiently been
watching for this moment. At once
they flew at each other, picking and
pecking, pulling and Juggling, and

Parrish, patrol driver, leaned over
Waldorf and said:
"Give me your name and tell me
the address of your relatives, SO that
they may be notified"
From the lips of the stricken man
came the words:

Waldorf of the Oregon Journal, PoSt-
land, Ore. My mother lives with him.
He will take charge of my remains.
Whats the matter with you?" said
Parrish. You're no newspaper

Fer man, and one of the best on the
Pacific coast Everybody knows him,
and the suffering man sat up indig-
nant The angrier he became the
more erect he sat.
Then Parrish and the other police
men began to have dark doubts that
Mr.. Waldorf might be taking. He
was told TO get up and sit in chair
From his position in the chair, Wal
dorf continued to groan and make
faces. His suffering was evidently
decreasing, however.
Coroner Witter arrived to take
charge of the remains. The coroner
looked once. Then he examined Mr..
Waldorf's eyes under the electric
light. He looked into the mouth to
see the burning marks left by the
acid The mouth seemed unframed.
LET me see the bottle that con-
tanned the acid" said the coroner.
The coroner smelled The bottle, re-
marked on the side, alcohol" Then
the coroner picked up his medicine

with his nose in the air.
did you ever commit suicide be-

Waldorf was led inside the railing
at the police station and was given
quantity of black coffee to soothe his
overweight condition.

AUTO HUNG OVER A DITCH.
But Chauffeur Wasn't Scared, and
Broadway Crowd Cheered Him.

Broadway Crowd Cheered Him.
That Henry Hopper of AZ West
18th street is an intrepid chaffeur
was the verdict returned recently by
an admiring jury of policemen, says
the New York Times.
Hopper was plotting two-ton auto
mobile hanson down Broadway at
3Sth street. On the west side of the
street ten Italians under an Irish fore.
man were busy in a hole eight feet
deep and fifteen feet square, enlarging
sewer top. Just as Hoppers ma
chine neared the excavation the steer.
ing gear broke and the auto made for
the hole. The Italians saw it coming
and scrambled for dear life.
While they We're struggling to get
out, the automobile, with Hopper still
in the seat. crashed into fence of
two-inch plank set upon barrels sur
rounding the excavation. The ma
chine snapped the fence and then ran
into second one of equal thickness.
The second fence stopped the machine
just as it. leaned over the hole-half
way out-towering over the pale
faced Italians who were huddled
speechless in a corner.
As the machine leaned over the
hole Hopper looked down and laughed
Come out o. that" he commanded
and help me get out O. this" Then
he lighted cigarette and crossed his
legs nonchalantly. A crowd of 500
persons was soon on the scene.
Twenty men tried to pull the auto
back to the street, but they couldn't
bulge it. Then somebody got a rope
and hitched one end to the machine
and another to trolley car standing
near by. The car backed away. but
still the machine wouldn't leave the
excavation.
Then they connected two cars, and
by their combined force the hanson
was restored to the pavement.
Hopper didn't want to leave his
seat while all this was going on, but
the police made him get down. After
1t was all over he jumped to the box
again, put on the power and scooted
west into 9sth street. The machine
was uninjured and the crowd cheered.

infiicting some bad gashes on their
bare bodies. All of a sudden one
of them turned tail, eagerly pursued
by the other After having in this
manner chased around the ring
awhile, the pursuer, being too i'm
petuous, lost his wind and gave out.
At this instant the tables were
turned. The deserter, who had
spared his strength, Immediately
turned upon his adversary and finish
ed him in no time. The stratagem
had proved a success. In this as
well as the succeeding contests the
cock taking to his heels at the begin
ming always came out ahead in the
end.
The moment one of the two fighters
did collapse, the seconds picked up
their proteges, wiped the blood from
their nostrils and bills, and with a
handkerchief dried their eyes and
wounds. Then, grasping them from
behind, swung them up and down.
The effect of this operation was re-
markable. The birds, as trim as
ever, resumed the fight with the same
vfgor as in the beginning, again
hacking and picking, now in the GEN.
ter of the arena, then near the en-
closure, till finally one of the fight
ers gave out, dropped, and, all COW
cred with gore, lay motionless. This
was the end of the fight.
Soon after, another pair was brought
in and the spectacle began anew, and
so throughout the whole day until
sunset one fight followed the other.
The spectators, thanks to their
betting, were all excitement and pas
sion. With eager eyes, yelling and
gesticulating like savages, they
watched each move of the cocks. The
noise was deafening, and every mo-
ment the affair threatened to turn out
an all-around fight.
AS | passed out of the cockpits |
noticed, piled up in the corner of a
little room, a lot of ROSTERS, dead
and severely wounded all in one heap.
II had not been considered worth
while to separate them, an addi-
tional proof of what | have observed
again and again while in Cuba:-the
utter insensibility of the people there
for the sufferings of our dumb fellow
creatures.
