Secretary Shaw May Retire Feb. I.
Washington Special to the New York
Tribune.
Considerable surprise was occasion
ed in the Senate when the nomina'
tons of the new members Of the Cabi'
net we're received, for, although the
proposed changes had been announc'
cd, It was understood that the re-
tiremcnt Of Secretary Shaw, his sue.
cession by George Won L. Meyer, would
not take place until about March 4.
1t is now regarded as entirely proba'
bio, however, that these changes Will
take place a month earlier than was
at first expected. The Russian Dou'
ma will meet about March /, and 1t is
regarded as advisable that the new
ambassador who is to succeed Mr..
Meyer should have been at his post
at least month before that In order
that he may have become familiar
with conditions in st. Petersburg be-
fore the meeting OF the national con-
gress,
For that reason it Is believed prob
able that Mr.. Shaw will retire from
the cabinet about February /, and
that he will be Immediately succeed

THE NEWCOMER.

From the New York Times.
A new little presence
Has come to the house,
But noisy the precincts,
Not still as q mouse.
There's no one who troubles
To manifest Joy,
And nobody questions =
"a girl or a boy?"
No person takes interest
In hue Of its eye,
In kin 1t resembles
Or depth Of its cry.
In sweet self.improtance
And ignorance giee,
In ignorance blissfIl
Its glad moments fee.
All, surely you know him,
There hallmarks confirm
The member Of Congress
Who serves his first term.

FIGHTING BULLS.
They Are Easily Managed When
They Are Massed Together.

They Are Easily Managed When
They Are Massed Together
In Spain accidents to bulIfighters are
Of frequent occurrence, and it is inter
esting 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
Bullfghting is the national pastime
Boys play at it in the cutters, and
! there are bullfights for amateurs all
over the country at which only two
year-od bulls are used and young and
old descend into the arena. Astound-
ing Is the enthusiasm.
Interesting, too, is the psychology Of
bulls When herded together they are
docile enough. 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 sleep
ing. \ COW trained to the business,
with bell around her neck is all that
Is necessary. and the bulls follow
quietly behind her
In the plains where the bulls are
reared men on horses manage them
quite easily SO long as they are massed
together. Three bulls in the ring to-
gether would be useless for fight, but
each bull separately will fight to the
death.
Bulls literally see red Were It not
that bull will always dash at any
thing red the men in the ring would
have no chance whatever Occasionally
bulls have what is called the evil eye
and remain Indifferent to the red capa
extended to them, and then the list of
casualties is generally high
Sometimes bull which has shown
prodigious power and fight is pardoned
by the populace. A cow. kept for the
purpose, is then sent into the arena,
and at sight of her the bull forgets
man and the fury of the battle and
generally trots behind to the paddock.
as meek as any heifer
Many are the curiosities about bulls.
which sometimes refuse to attack
particular horse and when a man is
down, motionless disdain even to paw
him. Some bulls make instinctivelv for
one man and will chase him all around
the ring. leaping the barrier if he
vaults over it, and if he falls will
kneel upon his body and gore him to
shreds. There is no mercy in bulls, and
none is shown to them.-Nineteenth
Century.

PASSWORDS AT THE BANKS.
A Secret Sign Given Those Who Cam
not Write Their Names


The banks give secret passwords to
depOsitors who cannot read or write.
When one Of these depositors goes to
draw out money the cashier leans for
ward and whispers:
whats your password"
The depositor whispers an answer,
and if the correct password is given
the money is paid out.
In bank the other day a negro wo-
man sat upon a bench. her face indicat-
ing intense application of mind. The
cashier nodded toward her and said
Shes forgotten her password and is
trying to think of it. She came to the
window awhile ago and wanted to get
some money. She only wanted a small
amount, But she can't write She's
one of quite a number of our depositors
who are given passwords when they
open an account. When she came in |
asked her to give her name and ad-
dress. She answered right up. What's
your password: l asked her.
Nm she exclaimed, pursuing her
lips, let me see. Amt dat peculiar?
Hit done 'scaped nah mind now.
Cant you think of it? | said. you

give me the password"
Lord, honey she exclaimed. Abs
mighty nigh dat money! But All jes'
can't member hit now
"'Well, sit down and think it over, /
suggested to her. It may come to
you"
In few minutes the old woman
arose with happy look upon her face
and went up to the cashiers window.
She put her face as far inside the mar
row window as she could and whis-
pered:
Abraham Linkun."
Correct" answered the cashier. and
he paid her the money she was after.
"Ah jes' couldn't place dat mans
name at first" she said as she went
out-kansas City Star.
Generosity.
Never be sorry for any generous
thing that you ever did, even il it was
betrayed Never be sorry that you
were magnanimous IL the man was
mean afterward. Never be sorry that
you gave. 1t was right for you to
give even if you were imposed upon.
You cannot afford to keep on the safe
side by being mean.
