 The bull dashes at the cloth rather than the man. The toreodores would gracefully and cleyerly leap aside and leave the bull for a second star ing at vacancy. Then the process would be repeated. If the bull show ed no desire to continue to chase the

 I was very much excited at the time with the great crowd, the music and flowers and all the thrills, but only seeing the gruesome part in my dreams, and when l heard the band playing outside the arena at Juarez on the day spent there while en route back to America, and the ticket sell CTS shouting, it affected me very un- plea sanity, and l had no desire to see another bull fight, not even an anateurish one.

toreaOres, the poor horse under the Eicador must now be sacrificed. The horses used are all old and use less, but the poor things seem to know what is coming They stand and tremble, the epitome of fear, They are blindfoldeds over one eye. The picador rides up close to the bull and attendants some times push the horse right on to him. The picador viciously stabs the bull, which in turn rams the shoulder or belly of the horse, often tearing out the intestines.
 The picador is prepared to fall hard as he wears suit of armor under his clothes Attendants quick ly pull him to safety, while the bull becomes thoroughly enragcd in tear ing the horse.
 After the smell of fresh blood the bull now begins to hunt another vic tim It may be another horse or he may start after the toreadores. Meanwhile, the matador is studying the physehology of the bull It Is crly after the animal is very angry that he stands alone in the arena, armed only with two gaily decorated darts called banderille The bull charges at the matador. who waits until the animal is within foot of him with it's head down, ready to gore him, when he cIeyerly throws the two banderilles at one time in a certain spot in the animals shoulder and leaps aside The crowd would hiss him should he not hit this cer- tain spot the first time. If he sue ceeds there is thunderous applause
 The toreadores now surround the bull and after few moments the matador must again place four more banderos in his shoulder. Each time it becomes more dangerous. The bulls shoulders are now dripping with blood, and he is becoming weak ened. The killing now takes place. The matador, with a bright red cloth draped over a long sword. must approach the bull and stab him be- tween the shoulders. If the sword has been properly placed the bull will stagger and fall. A stab from a short sword puts him quickly out of misery.

MY BOY

dedicated to American mothers
whose heroic sons fell in action)
My boy came home in coffin today;
With others he took a chance.
He fell while fighting heroicclly
On the battle-scarred fields of
France.
C, why do men fight in a world like
this,
Where mother hearts crave only
Aace?
And my poor heart prays, though my
lips are dumb,
"From wars God grant US release"
He volunteered at his country's call,
And bravely he marched away,
And ever l pray that he might not
But my boy lies dead today.
His form is draped with the dear old
flag,
The flag that he died to save.
The bell is tolling so mournfully,
And flowers are here for his grave
l scrarce could see, for my soul was
sick,
AS my boy went marching by,
But knew that his step was firm and
quick,
And his proud you4g head held
high.
To men and mothers throughout the
land,
From wars I would give release,
And the flowers I would bring for
each hero's hand
Is the beautiful flower of peace.

Unfortunate Infants.

The craze for war names is one OF
the many interesting things that the
census, just completed in the United
Kingdom, has shown. While not be-
ing so intense as 1t was after the
South African war, 1t was still strong
enough to infiict on hundreds of hap
less infants such monstrosities az
"Ypres," kitchener, "verdun," "Lor.
raine," "Saloniki." The extent to which
this craze has gone Is amazing. Be
sides war names there are always 9TH
er freak names. The last census
showed that such absurdlties as "Wel.
come Death" and "One Too Many"
had been given to children. "Wil
liam" has fallen from popularity. Its
place has been taken by George"
Few parents during the war wanted to
use the name given to the ex-kaiser

WORTHY WIFE OF HUN CHEF
Attiia, the "Seourse Of God" Had
Devoted Helpmeet and Adviser In
His consort HeIaa.

} Attila the Hun was a thoroughly
house-trained husband. Helga, the
beautiful Morse wife Of Attiia, was q
Sitting mate to this barbaric warrior.
Amazonian In figure, gigantic in
strength. she accompanied him on all
his raids. She acted as Attila'S aide
de camp, his secretary and his chief
of staff. She planned the campaigns
that led to his ascendency over most
of the civilized world. For all her
daring and strength. however, she
was still woman. 1t had been At
tila's custom to carry Off the women Of
the vanquished tribes, but Helga put
an end to this, giving as her reason
that the women impeded their prog
ress. Her real motive, 1t Is believed,
was fear that she might lose her
sovereign position. So 1t became the
custom, instead, to kill the women.
Another example of her feminine
instinct was the trouble she went to
for the sake Of her beauty. On all
their travels she caused to be brought
along a drove Of asses, 50 that she
might have her daily bath In their
milk.
Helga was as courageous in death
as she was In life. After the unsue-
cessful campaign at Chalons, when
Attila was stopped by the Franks and
tho Romans; the Scourge determined
to die rather than face defeat. He
built funeral pyre and was about to
climb upon 1t when Helga approached.
my, lord" she said. "why do you
not die as you. mete out death to

And plunging her dagger into her
heart, she fell dead at his feet.
Attfla did not follow her example,
neither did he fling himself on the
funeral pyfe. He gathered new
courage, and lived to fight again.
