Improved" Bull Elaht

A bull fight in Toxic is quite as
much excuse for gala day as a bull
fight in Madrid. Business men leave
their offices, and women and children
their homes, to hurry to the arena.
Stripped of all the less exciting, or
less horrible, preliminaries which
characterize the Spanish bull fight, the
animals are brought in and sent at
each other at once. So the battle is
shorter, and two or three more fights
will follow in quick succession during
the course of an afternoons "enter-
tainment"

Books for the Children

Care must be taken In the stories
we give to growing children that evil
is always overcome. Book friends are
very real to boys and girls and in.
fluence their character. There should
be effort and conflict in their stories
and daring endurance and steadfast
purpose. Stories In which the child
hero acts rightly are particularly
valuable, because what boy or girl
has done appeals more directly to the
child's own power. He feels though
he may not express 1t even to himself
that what other children have done
he can do.
