The Daily Short Story

They carried Santival out of the
arena to a cafe across the plaza,
where his broken leg was bandaged.
He inquired for the horic matador
who had saved his life. but it was
an hour later that Jose Samandiego
could be persuaded to see the
wounded toreador. He came with
Inez Arguello and with bowed head
gave his hand to the mighty iSanti-
val.
"They tell me-" said Santival
between the puffs Of his cigarette,
that you killed your tenth bull to-
day. When a man kills his tenth
bull he should marry Is that not
true, Inez?"
Yes" said Inez, blushing,. ''JSse
and | are to be married tomorrow"
THAT is good" said Santival,
may you be blessed with good for
tune and many children. Jose, you
will be great toreador some day"
Santival's eyes twinkled. "a mer-
ciful Providence put the bull be-
tween us today, Jose. A merciful
Providence put me between you
and IneZ here. For who knows
maybe but for me you would not
have killed your tenth bull today"

the grades to the lowest man in the
ranks and is as fine a manifestation
of true patriotism and courage as
ever displayed on the field of battle.
1t is the foundation of the impulses
that call the soldier to the unselfish
surrender of life at the call of duty.
Not unnaturally, however, the Hub
bard mind is sealed against COM
prehension of anything of this sort.
Spokane, as well as any city,
ought to be conversant with the
demoralizing influences of an army
post. The reliant, stalwart army
men seen daily on the streets look
like mendicants and buns, don't
they? The city is anxious to get
rid of Fort Wright, is DANGEROUSLY
endeavoring to ship it off any
where, so it disappears, isn't it?
What men like Hubbard need is
the training in good citizenship that
any private could give him without
raising an inch above his regular,
everyday army existence.
Here's to the strong in arms,
officers and privates all, who wear
the blue, and with it the proud dis
tinction of being the best men on
earth to depend upon in minor
emergency Or when the life of a
nation is at stake. The same in
peace or war, courteous. brave and
able, they are entitled to the same
honest appreciation when the flags
are folded as when the regiments
march out on the way that leads to
the battlefield. They are the men
who know how to live; the men
who know how to die. And the
record they have made in the exer-
else of manhood's finest qualities is
the nations glory.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-04-01

The bilious instincts of Ebert
Hubbard have recently been ex-
cited by contemplation of the
United States soldier. Hubbard is
more or less famous or infamous
by reason of a cheap publication
through which he peddles, his Pc
culiar notions about the country.
He attempts to occupy the position
of self constituted adjudicator of
society in general His object in
life is to inject his ungainly per-
sonality into anything and every
thing, and reconstruct it according
to his own ideas. That few of
these ideas conform to the plans of
the Creator is regard by Hubbard
as the Creators fault or failure en-
tirely.
The soldier Hubbard chooses to
dub legal mendicants and remit
lance men. He declares them de-
graded both morally and intel
lectually. A home guard is all the
nation needs, etc. To Hubbard s
delicate sensibilities, any town that
has a fort near is damned mentally,
morally and financially.
Hubbard on morality is good, as
a reference to his divorce record
will demonstrate. Hubbard on any
thing else is also good if you are in
condition to appreciate the out
pourings of a sour milk mentality
That he and every other person
in the United States is guaranteed
the rights granted by the constitu,
ton is due to the army. That the
nation is anything at all is owing to
the military service performed in
clearing the way for civilization. 1t
was always the troops ahead of the
settler, and with him until the
danger had passed for all time.
That is one phase of the sol
dier's life and service. Today this
little army of what Hubbards styles
moral degenerates' is all thai
stands between the country and the
perils of conflict, the possibility OF
which is looming larger and larger
in spite of the peace propaganda. II
is the regular army officers today
who are watching world events
with trained faculties, conscious Of
our military weakness, yet willing
| ito grapple any situation thai
| comes up with the means at hand
| This attitude runs down through

FISHING FOR RAZORS

Patrolman Tom Lister put in a
good part of this morning fishing
off the Howard st. bridge with a
horseshoe magnet. Tom wasn't
fishing for fish--razors. He arrest
ed an Italian named Loreto Chivic
yesterday afternoon and took a big
Colt revolver away from him. On
the way to the police station the
Italian drew razor. The officer
made a grab for it but the Italian
threw it into the river. The razor
has not been recovered.

THE TOREADOR

"Bah!" cried Jose Samandiego,
the mighty Sanatival smiled and
the pretty Inez's head is turned.
You would be the wife of SPANS
greatest bull fghter-you, a poor
inn keepers daughter would wed
him who had spurned the hand of
old Spain's fairest daughters. Ha,
it is laughable!'
But he swears that he loves
me-" said Inez, tremblingly. Each
night he brings me flowers and
sweets and speaks of my eyes as
stars. Is that not proof enough that
he loves me?'
"uBt YOU are to marry mel" cried
Jose. did you not swear it many
years ago? Not until Don Santival
came to your fathers inn did you
think otherwise. You swore, Inez,
that when | killed my tenth bull
that thou w0ulst marry me. Nine
have I killed. At the fights tomor-
row 10 will be slain. Surely, | will
kill l of the 10!"
"Matador," said the tickle Inez
disdainfully, 'Enrico Santival will
kill the 10 bulls. He has sworn
it,"
There was the fragrant breath OF
a Mexican cigarette. the vines on
the lattice at the end Of the bal
cony stirred and a dark figure
stepped over the balcony railing.
"Faithless one," cried the mata-
dor Senior Enrico will not kill his
10 bulls. Senior Enrico-Mother Of
Jesus, here he is now. Inez, good
BY"
1t was warm afternoon. Senior
Enrico Santival had killed his
fourth bull. Furious at the taunts
of the red scarf, the fifth great
beast glared at the laughing tOrea-
dor and staggered dlzzily as his
lifeblood ran from the spear thrust
in his side. A matador on foot flung
his red scarf in the beasts eyes
and skipped nimbly aside as the
bull dashed at him. The crowd
laughed and the bull breathed hard.
Senior 'Enrico turned to the
crowd Might he kill the bull? Sc
norita Inez Arguello waved her
handkerchief and signalled that he
might. Astrade his white horse,
his short sword resting CALAMITY on
his arm, Enrico approached the
bull Tainted by the flag of a
ma,ador, which was none other
than Jose Samandiego, the bull
dashed forward and the mounted
toreador, taken off his guard. went
hurting over his horses head at
the very feet of the maddened bull.
The bull glared at the toreador's
red scarf. Breathlessly the crowd
watched the scene and wondered
why the fallen toreador did not rise
to his feet. The toreadOr was bad
ly injured and at the mercy of the
bull--and he was also at the mercy
of Jose Samandiego.
Theh time for revenge had come!
The matador had seen the smile
from his sweetheart's lips and the
flirt of her handkerchief when San
tityal asked her permission to kill
the bull No, no, the bull would not
kill Enrico Santival. He would
cheat the bull. He would kill the
toreador himself.
With Santival's short sword Jose
sprang at the wounded toreador.
SO did the bull, and the sword
thrust aimed at Santival's heart
lrarced the bull through the neck,
The great beast gasped, dropped
