the easiest thing in the world.
When the clown brought out aNwooden

A wild round Of applause greeted his

KEEP YOUR HEAD.

When the scourge Of infantile paralysis
broke out in SOME Of the crowded Sec
tons of New York city this summer, the
health authorities. after giving all the
suggestions they could a. to the treat
ment and prevention of the diseas se, urgeo
the mothers Of the city not to lose thar
heads. They, called attention to the fact
that anything like a panic would be sure
TO bring bad results. 1t was necessary
to take precautions. Of course. but It was
equally necessary to give all children ~
much Of normal life as possible.
1t Is aAtremendously easy thing to lose
ones head, and often dif1cult to keep II
In an emergency. But keeping 1t II an
art well worth the learning. And II you
school yourself to keep your head IN
small emergencies, you will be pretty
sure to keep 1t IL a big emergency comes
the sort Of emergency when there Is

This habit is developed by everyday
actions. IT,. when a spark from the

given to the cut in question. s-

too. to keep their heads. Obedience of
the unquestioning order should be In
stilled as "a first step-obedience that Is
given because the child knows the parent
asks. nothing unreasonable. Besides this.
the child should be taught to think quick
ly. for ITSELF And 1t should be taught
always to think before It acts Screaming
the moment, anything unusual happens is
undoubtedly a sign of overwrought
nerves, very often, but 1t Is a habit that
can be overcome by careful training.
Teach the child to stop and think always
before 1t acts on an impulse to do some
thing disagreeable, something of a re-
tai liatingS nature. And then teach II to
stop and think whenever anything unex-
pected happens. Soon the stopping will be
minimized. and the thinking will be en-

w Immediately takes mental
flights across the emerald seas to
opal Spain, for Tony is Spaniard
and very loyal to his beautiful, COL
orful country. He tells US many
interesting stories of Spain, although
he always adds: Il would rather
live in this great America than any
place in. the world. In fact, l was
educated here in the American pub
lie schools where the American peo-
pie have always been so friendly to
the Spaniards.
The other afternoon we were talk
ing of Spain and its fete days.
Have you ever seen bullhght"
he asked me eagerly.
/ shuddered just a little Bit
could not help it-for the pictures l
had seen of the bulls goring the
poor, unprotected horses had al
ways sent a chill of horror down my
spine.
"Onee when I was in Juarez on
the border of Mexico" l told him,
they tried to get me to peek into
the arena for only a few moments
to see the most famous bullhghter
in the world-Mazantini. l think his
name was"
"Ah, Antonio Mazantinil" and his
great, dark eyes grew round and
sparkling. Surely it could not have
been Mazantini, for it was too many
years ago that he went to Pueblo
in Mexico for his last appearance
on this continent. Tony Mazantini
he was a great favorite of Madrid,
Tony ,was-and when, a few years
ago, returned, to Spain to visit my
people, / was introduced to this
matador.,
con the next fete day, Tony he
said to me, for you see we were
both of the same name and one
grows very familiar with friends in
Espania,' there will be the most
spectacular bullhght given this year.
You must come and be one of my
guests ...
Perhaps it is cruel to you Ameri-
cans" Tony continued to me, "but
in Spain it is one of the greatest
arts, this killing of the bull by the
matador, who, with one lunge of his
sword, strikes the vital spot and
puts the. poor, tortured animal out
of his misery" .,.
"And did you 60 to the fete3" l
interrupted him.
"To my regret" he replied. "for
before the eyes of ten thousand peo..
pie, we saw Antonio Mazantini
gored to his death. I, like the peo-
pie, screamed like a madman, but
his sweetheart, who stood behind
was so cold like an icicle.
You see, Miss Mary. it is the way
of the Spanish girl-the Americans
think she is cold and cruel, but it is
because she does not cry with her
eyes, but with her heart! Ho cry
with the tears in the heart is to
make one suffer more than if the
tears, just come so easy like to the
eye"
"But maybe she was not in love
with him." l suggested.
, "Ah, no-she had loved him for
many years! You would not have
said that if you had seen her eyes

beautiful horse and stood under the
box, taking his long spangled cape
and throwing it up to her; or the

1t was about $50 o'clock in the even
ing. The big tent was all aglow with
lights. A long line Of people reached
from the dusty roadway to the ticket Of
fee. Flaring torches threw strange
streaks Of light over the field, lighting
up the circus wagons with their gleam-
ing red bodies and yellow wheels.
Now and then the roars of the lions
and the trumpetings of the elephants
could be heard, then the music of the
band, a bugle call, a shrill voice, a snap
of whips-all the familiar sounds of a
travelling circus could be heard as the
evening breeze ruffled the many flags
that decked the great white tent. Puss
Junior stood. by the side. of the clown in
the tan bark ring and looked about him.
On all sides were eager faces. Hundreds
of children screamed and yelled as the
clown came forward and motioned for
silence. When the sounds had died away

TO betray their love, but thew draw
an impenetable veil over their grief
and their disappointments.
NO one ever knows quite how
the accident occurred to poor

even when the bull tossed him high
over his head, and, as he fell to the
ground, gored him over and over
