to ask something which Diaz cannt

never fails to offer something Nader
will not accept, and both Madero an
Carba1al say the pow WOW must en-

region where tomorrow has n
meaning at all. y
| A courier came dustily in with tn
news that Rabago and Luque, the fed
eral generals. were pointing thei
carnage loving noses toward Juarez
with big guns and from 1900 to 400,
men. The latter word now is tina
Rabago and Luque. their poses afore
time warlike, are hurryiHg into Chi
huahua, 300 miles away. They say
they will fight at Chihuahua.
The rebel army occupying Juare,
should have started south after Ra
bago and Luque, but Manager Pas
quiro Of Juarez promulgated bull
fight and naturally the army's start
southwark was postponed. The Mexi-
can tenderness and sentimentality
were indicated in this bull fight in
that 1t was given for the benefit Of the
wounded insurrectos. That is to say
with admission $1.5O, $1.25, and rs
cents Mexican money, the insurrecto
sufferers would be given one-fourth
Of the gate. The management also
saidito be suffering, would take other
three-fourths.
When the game opened, Gen. 0rozco
presiding, there was crowd in at
tendance. It was noisy, sweaty,
bathless gathering and the orders
were not the orders from the spice is
lands. l tried to forget that had
nose and remember only that the af-
fair was one for charity and to relieve
the suffering. Thus | stuck it out.
There was a double ring to the end
that the bulls should not get out and
wander aimlessly among the specta-
tors. ! approved of that double fence
idea. It was splendid thought. There
was d naurmur among the ordorous
crowd. A gate opened into the base Of
tie grand stand and bull-to which
something startling had happened
from 4behind-came plunging head
down and tail like the letter IS" into
the ring. As he whirled through the
gates one Of the wise monkeys drove
a dart into his side where, held by its
barbed head, It remained throughout
the fight. This is called Adjoining"
the bull and assists in irritating him.
Also It is part and parcel Of ancient
bull ring usage.
The bull halted 20 feet from the
gate and began paving the sand.
Head lowered, with low. threatening
roars, he considered his surroundings
with red eyes.
1t is impossible to give the fight in
detail The truth is, l was not look

My eyes opened Just in time to see

he horse sideways upon the bull to be-

lind a five foot barrier, Of which
isles a. safety there was four. He

he bull couldn't get his horns out Of

The little lizard swung his red
