wEINREeE SAW A BULL FIGHT.
Minot MAN Returning From 4 Visit
to Old Mexico Tells Of q Brutal
Flight in Which Five eulls and -Four
Horses Were Killed.

J. H. Weinrebe who spent two
weeks in Texas and Mexico tells OF
a Mexican bull fight which he wit
messed at Larado, lex.
Mr. Weinrebe stys that these fights
are pulled off regularly, and the peo-
PIE who attend root just like they do
at base ball games in this country.
II a fighter dispatches bull without
giving the animal a chance, he Is
loudly Kissed. If, however, he Is
particularly daring, the spectators
grow wild, and Jump to their feet
and shout wildly. They even throw
their sombreros over into the ring
and the fighter after making the u
ual bows, losses Thorn back to the
owners. sa
At the fight which Mr.. Weinreba
attended, hve bulls and four horses
were killed. The horses are blind
folded over one eye and It 10 terribly
brutal to allow tho sharp horned crit
tiers to disembowel the poor dumb
beasts. The horses do not have the
least show, though the lighters them
selves are scarcely ever killed They
grow very expert and get out Of some
very dangerous positions.
Mr. Wednrebe says that one can
hardly realize that Mexico lying Just

Commissioner henry A. Hurd In q

Her Diet.

The secret of Queen Alexandr :
wonderful youthful appearance neysr
ceases to interest feminine England
and some details Of her diet have beef
impaired to the curious.
Queen Alexandra never touches re-
meat She eats only chicken, turkey
duck. and game. The vegetables sic
has served to her are cabbage, spin.
ach, peas and beans. She does not eat
pudding or pastry and for dessert has
simply fruit cooked or uncooked and
nuts and raisins
She is particularly fond. of nuts and
has been known to make an entire
luncheon of almonds and walnats
dipped in salt She eats toast rather
than bread and very little butter. but
quantities of cream.
She drinks nothing but hot milk,
having given up tea, coffee, cocoa and
wines years ago. On this diet with
moderate amount of exercise Queen
Alexandra keeps wonderfully well and
preserves girlish symmetry of figure

canal would follow a new route for IS

versts the Dnieper would be utilized

canal would have 10 be excavated.
The Dnisper would require dredging

water would be drawn from the Beresi-

The cost of the canal is estimated at

Prehistoric Needle Factory.

Not so long ago much interest was
awakened in England by the discov-
cry of prehistoric lake village near
Glastonbury. The dwellings were
placed on mounds of clay raised ahove
the level of the water. The frame
work of primitive loom was found
under one mound and the number Of
broken bone needles and bone splint-
ers discovered in another mound led
the explorers to think that it may
have been the site of an ancient
needle factory.
Very few bones have been discov-
cred, but among the interesting finds
is a blue glass bead with a waving
dark line running around it. One q
the mounds contains 800 tons of Clay,
all of which must have been dug from
the surrounding hills and carried to
the spot in boats. Scientific Amert-
can.

His Faulty
Memory

Jimmy was developing into verit-
able Ananias. He told untruths great
and small. He told them at all times.
on all occasions. whenever the least
opportunity presented itself.
His teacher, Miss Gray, and his par
ents joined efforts to correct the
growing evil After some time of pa
tient endeayor on their part. there
was considerable Improvement. But
it was too much for Jimmy; he
couldn't stand the strain. so he re-
lapsed into his old habit. He was
apparently incorrigibIe.
The situation reached point one
day where Miss Gray felt she must
have help, so she wrote note to
Jimmy's father She knew that the
boy had a great deal of respect for
his father, and she felt certain of
good results-at least temporarily.
The next morning, when the pupils
came trooping into the room, Bessie
Lane stopped at the teachers desk
and wiggled her hand until Miss Gray
asked her what she wanted
Now, teacher" she began in her
thin, piping voice, now, | seen jim
my Wilson tear up your note in the
schoolyard yesterday"
very well. Take your seat, Bes-
sie.'
Close on the little girls heels came
two boys Both began talking at
once.
"one at a time, please. boys. What
is it. Henry?'
Thus addressed, Henry blurted out
breathlessly: Jim Wilson tore up
the note you sent to his father yester-
day."
90, yes, ma'am, an I seen him do.
1t, too-right in the schoolyard." cor
roborated the other boy.
Scarcely had the boys LETT her desk
when the next room teacher came in
and WHISPERED to Miss Gray that she.
had overheard some of her youngsters.
discussing how Jimmy Wilson tore
up the note that Miss Gray had sent
to his father Miss Gray thanked
her
jimmy himself was the last pupil
to arrive. As he started down the
aisle to his seat Hiss Gray called him
back. instant obadisnce was one of
Jimay's virtues and It had served to
pun him out. of mere than one scFare
