HOW A ,SACRED BULL WET us MATCH

UGH excitement: The rails
were all laid and the first
~ train of cars was coming
through the little village in In
dia where we were visiting.
OF course, Bunny, Bobby and
were there with the crowd Of
natives to see this wonder. And
you can well imagine their eager
ness to see this great steam
monster which was to road daily
through their town.
''You would be excited your
selves, wouldn't you," asked
Bunny and Bobby, "if you had
never seen an engine?"
They agreed that they would,
and as we stood waiting who
should walk right out on the
tracks but big bull! Now, as
you know, in certain parts of
India, where the people belong to
the Brahman faith. or religion,
bulls are sacred. If a bull walks
into a shop, no one tries to chase
him out. And I have often seen
traffic diverted to another street
because a bull was resting HIM
self in the middle Of the street.
So, since no one will ever in
terfere with what IL sacred bull
does, 1t was only natural for
Bobby. when he saw the bull on
the track, to exclaim:
Foxy Grandpa! What will hap
penn"
Indeed, 1 don't know" an
sWered. Either the train will
have to stop or Mr.. Bull will
move on, whether he likes it or
not"
AS we were discussing this
question, far off in the distance
sounded the whistle of the loco
motive. Tho natives looked at
one another In wonderment-
some in fear.
linen they looked with terror
at their precious hull, who had
oy this time comfortably settled
himself for nap right in the
middle of the tracks!
The train came nearer. The
whistle grew louder, and soon
we heard the snorting and puff

enormous proportions and to be

AY0T only must we urge par
ents to take better care Of
- their children, but we must
oonspire to have older sons and
daughters conserve their mind and
health of the parents. Too many
boys are going wrong, is the con-
slant cry. But for every boy who
goes wrong there is probably a
parent-usually a mother-who
breaks down under the strain Of
the worry and overexertion con-
nected with the attempted manage
ment OF that boy.
A happy incident just come to
my notice will support my idea
here. A middle-aged mothers
health was failing from too close
application to duty. Two grown
up children schemed with the
father and the two smaller chill
dren to get the mother out.
A large community chorus was
just being organized in the neigh
borhood. So it was arranged that
mother was to have an entire
new outfit to wear, was to get
her hair done up the latest style
and go out every Tuesday evening
to join with the singers and re-
VtVe a musical interest Of her early
life.
AS part of the arrangement the
children were all to stay home
and study or otherwise annuse
themselves on the evening of
mothers absence.
This began early in September
Of this year, and the supposedly
fading mother is a girl again in
spirit and in truth. Her face
beams with interest whenever she
discusses her outing; her mind and
thought run much on the happen
ings at the chorus meeting, the
strains of the music pulsate
through her being as she goes
about her daily tasks. and the af-
fair has actually put a new song

San Antonio's new municipal nata-
sorium in San Pedro Park is one of
the largest and most complete of its
kind in the country. The big pool,
dedicated last Thursday while several
thousand people crowded its concrete
brink, has a capacity of 100000
gallons of water. 1t is 200 feet across
at it's widest point and considerably
longer than that.
The pool was constructed at cost
Of $4,000 and the artistic bath
house, with plans donated by c. Il.
Schoeppl, architect, and various other
work done gratis, cost about $4,000.
When fully equipped with diving tow
er, rings and other paraphernalia to
make it complete in every detail and
place it among the finest equipped
public pools existent, the natatorium
and bath house will have cost ap-
|proximately $4,000, it is estimated.
The city bears virtually the entire
expense of this with some financial
assistance from the Chamber of Com

this month without intermission. ac-

valley towns. \ freeze which oc-

this seasons potato crop will be a lit

ably will be better.
Many Of the growers report excel

said to have started digging on April

land. Cold weather during the last
several weeks also has been favorable
to this crop.
The freeze of March Is did consid

expected to have the Texas, Oklahoma

higher prices
