It Was an American Bull

Some of us went over to the Juarez
bull ring the first Sunday in March.
A decree promulgated by Venustiano
Carranza stood in the way of a gen.
uine contest; so certain dauntless, in
domitable and skilled hombres of
local renown were billed to put on
grand, extraordinary and most
noble combat with five fierce bulls
from the celebrated Santa Clara
ranch.
The gates were thrown open again
and in trotted big, dark red Here
ford. His markings were excellent;
he was unquestionably of the Amer
lean breed. They jabbed a banderilla
into his shoulder as he entered from
the chute and he kicked one hind
foot to shake off the sting. Then the
padded chulos went at him with
their cloaks and tricks; the picadors
poked him with blunt lances; they
rode their horses almost on top of
his horns to tempt him to gore. But
that bull possessed q wonderful dis
position. He would not lose his tenn
per. He would not show fight. He
could not be coaxed into a fight.
The Haunted red capes and other
insults under his very nose. They
thrust at him with wooden swords:
they even slapped him between the
leap on his back; another danced
tauntingly in front OF him, inviting
a charge.
The Hereford evaded their every
effort. There was a worried express
sion on his massive, kindly face, but
he would not get angry. He turned
from his enemeis and trotted around
the arena. Coming to a pile of straw
that had leaked from a picador who
had come undone, he paused to eat.
They exhausted every means known
to the gentle art, but that bull would
not fight.
And suddenly a great yell went up
from the Mexican crowd
"Toro Americano!" they shrilled
gleefully. American bull! Amer
ican bull!"
Gales of laughter went cracking
round the ring. They whooped and
huzzaed, and in the midst of the
merriment the big Hereford was
driven ANONYMOUSLY from the arena.
The incident is not important but
1t is highly significant; for in those
shouts of derision was reflected the
Mexican opinion of us. And that
opinion is directly responsible for
their attitude to-day and for their
receptivity to every influence hostile
to the United States and American
interests.
They are firmly persuaded that
nothing could induce us to fight. In
their estimation we rank with the
Chinese. The bulk of them believe
that the United States would fall
an easy prey to their veterans

Paul Revere's Horse

Paul Revere's name is immortal
Ever since that far-away April mid
night when he rode from Boston to
Lexington and Concord, warning the
patriots along the way of the British
approach, his fame has been secure
ly enshrined in the hearts of all
Americans.
Historians have honored them
selves in honoring him. Poets have
found inspiration i'm praising him.
He is an idol of manhood and SOL
acing memory of old age.
How few characters loom up like
great peaks above the mountain
ranges of time!
And Paul Revere was one of these.
He was one of the precious few
great enough to grasp an opportunity
to do an incalculable good to man
kind.
But while we give deserved glory
to Paul Revere, let us no longer for
get that there was another hero in
that wild midnight ride.
There was the horse.
ANY other horse might have done
as WELL" you think? Well, so might
any other man have. done as well,
perhaps. So might we fiippantly dis
parage any hero.
But the fact remains that it was
Paul Revere and Paul Revere's horse
that did it. And the harder work
fell on the horse. But for the true
horses faithfulness, Paul Revere
would have been failure.-The

to all of us.

Baby Between the Trenches

A day was dawning on a battle
field in Northern France through
a fog so thick that none could see
more than a few yards from the
trenches. In the night the Germans
had drawn back their lines q little
and the French had closely ad-
vanced, but between the two posi-
tions lone farmhouse was still
standing. AS the sun rose and the
fog cleared and the gunners found
their ranges, heavy guns began, to
boom and answer back. Thus began
again the old, old, wearisome story
of day after day of desolation and
death.
But suddenly on both sides the
firing ceased and there fell a pc
culiar dead stiffness. Midway be-
tween the trenches, near the now
shattered farmhouse. there was-no,
1t must be impossible. 1t must be
q delusionl But no-there in the
green meadow, crawling on its hands
and knees, was little child, a mere
baby. 1t appeared perfectly happy
and contented, and in the sudden
dumbness of the soldiers the baby S
laugh was heard as 1t clutched at
a dandelion. Not a sound was to
be heard but that: not shot was
fired; scarcely did a soldier on either
side dare breathe.
Suddenly a soldier jumped out of
German trench and ran to where
the child was crawling. He tenderly
took it up and carried it back to
shelter. From the trenches or the
French there came no shots, but
there rang along both lines mighty
cheer.
But soon, alas. the guns were
booming again and answering back,
and the towering bit of meadow was
plowed by shells; for war Is war,
and men must not long YIELD to pity.

THE PEOPLES FORUM
A Red Cross Explanation
Editor of the TcIcrrabh:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
AS president of the branch and
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, and
because l have at heart the best in
terest of all the races and because
of the peculiar situation of the ma
ton in these momentous times,
which demand not only a united
front in patriotic sentiment for the
National Emblem, but a deep, abid-
ing, inward and outward loyalty,
commensurate with the extreme
conditions facing united people, 1
ask permission to speak in eXplana-
ton of unfavorable attitude on the
part of few of my race.
1t appears that somehow a false
rumor was started among some of
the High school students to the effect
that a young woman of the High
school and of our Sunday school and
congregation went to the Red Cross
headquarters for membership and
was refused, and without investiga-
ton, some of our people have re-
fused to join the Red Cross. Being
interested, L asked concerning the
rumor at headquarters last week the
day my wife and / joined, and moth
ing was known of it there. l saw the
young woman in our church last
Friday night and in the presence of
about a half dozen others, l asked
her, if the rumor was true, and she
said no." that she had not been
there yet, but that she was going to
join. Dame Rumor, is one of the
worst foes of mankind.
Very truly yours,

GARDENING ACTIVITIES

TOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH has
Nstruck a popular chord in his
appeal to the school children of
the State to get busy in increasing
the food supply. For several years
the thoughtful men in the agricul-
tural and stock-raising districts of
the United States have realized that
the population of the country was
fast outstripping the increase in
food production.
e. T. Meredith, publisher of a
successful farm periodical in Iowa,
calls attention to the fact that the
meat supply in particular is falling
behind, and he suggests as a stimu-
liant to increase meat production and
dairying ''that few things could be
more effective than to interest and
encourage our junior farm helpers
In livestock farming" This periodi-
cal is strongly supporting the Boys
and Girls Club movement and favors
loans to the young people to en-
courage increased production. 1t
believes that by interesting the farm
boy and girl in individual effort,
farm life is made more attractive
and profitable as we'll.
Governor Brumbaugh is on the
right road in his efforts to arouse
the people to the necessity of making
every acre of ground in Pennsyl.

DAYLIGHT SAVING'

THE daylight saving" bill is
again before Congress. It ought
to pass as a war emergency
measure, if for no other reason.
The President has urged the peo-
pie to take up home-gardening. Day
light is essential for that purpose.
cGardens do not grow of themselves.
They must be cultivated. Evening is
the only time the working man has
for that purpose. He will need every
hour possible for that work the COM
ing summer. An additional hour of
daylight would be of inestimable
value.
European countries which had
adopted the daylight saving prac-
tice emphasize the value of the plan
in stimulating home-gardening and
thereby increasing the food produc-
ton. In England and Germany the
additional hour was used to q large
extent for this purpose.
But however used 1t would be we'll
worth while.

For a "Dry" Nation

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
have wondered why this Nation,
which already is greatly concerned
about it's food supply, should keep
on wasting it's grain in the manu-
facture of liquor. Many million bush
els of grain used in one year would
feed a great army of men, women
and children.
Is this country run and dominated
by the brewers and liquor men? And
we call ourselves a free Nation. Why
should national prohibition be post
poned for the emergencies of war,
when there is nothing of more inn
portance to the preparedness ques-
tion?
So protect the boys and prepare
them to be strong. noble and brave.
1t is time Harrisburg took for its
slogan: ITO thine own self be true,
and 1t shall follow, as the night the
day, thou canst not then be false to
any man"

Petitions the Court

10 the EdnoT or the Telegraph:
Dear Sir-In reading your valu-
able and patriotic paper last evening,
l CHANGED to read the item enclosed
herewith. 1t certainly is very, true
that the cost of living is higher now
than it has been in the last fifty
years, and the shortage of food is
greater than / have ever known. Now
dear editor, l want to ask question.
We who are able to to care for our
families and have work, have hard
time to get food, but what about the
poor mother of five children whose
husband is in Jail and she is with
out help; and what about other
mothers of 2, 8, and children
whose husbands are in jail? What
are these poor wives and children to
do for a living? 1 know of a case in
my neighborhood of a family of four
children, the youngest two months
old and the oldest fourteen years.
The father of this poor family is a
good and willing workingman, but
through a little misfortune he is in
Jail for four months. and must stay
three or four months more, and the
mother is in u sickly condition.
What shall these poor people do for
a living? Our city is doing every
thing possible to show her patriotism
and l am proud to be a resident of q
city that shows its patriotic heart
like Harrisburg is doing, and has
done in the past.
Dear Editor Harrisburg can do q
very great act of patriotism in help
ing these poor families whose hus-
bands and fathers are in Jail. Could
not our honorable court put these
fathers on parole or arrange some
other way to send them home to
help their families? Could not the
keeper of the prison give the names
of the men that have families in
need, to our honorable court and ar
range some way to send these men
home to help their poor families?
know there are some that it is inn
possible to let go, but there are some
that have a part of their time served
and could be sent home to help their
families. This would be very pa
triotic act. 1t would save lots of little
children from suffering, and would
save the county the expense of feed
ing these men and at the same time
these men would give their services
to our shops and mills where their
services are needed right now.
hope Harrisburg will show the same
patriotic spirit along these lines as
she has shown along all other lines.
AS daily reader of your paper, j
hope you will publish this letter and
devise some way to start such a
move. Will some of the other readers
please give their views on this mat
ter? Again asking you to please pub
lish this letter, l remain,
Sincerely yours,
A HARD WORKING MAN,
and Faithful Taxpayer.
