PAGE TWO MADE REAL SPORT Bulls Not Always Easy Victims t in Arena. ^ On* Animal So Noted for It* Fighting Qualities a* t* Be Deemed Invlnj clble?Imported Texan Furt niched Excitement. ? The toreador has not always been the hero of Ihe bull ring. There was once a bull that earned the plaudits of a Spanish arena on more than one occasion by clearing It of his antagonists. Strangely enough the bull neltlll'r Iclllmt nnr 1 n 1n ru/l .nu m.n But he did put to flight every toreador, matador, picador, chulo or banderllero who dared to enter the ring with him; and, although the crowds came to see him slain, his conduct proved so valiant that the people demanded that his life be spared. This bull was named Lechuzo. His first appearance In the arena wus made at San Lucar. He so suddenly cleared the ring of his enemies that the people rose in admiration and demanded bis reprieve, for despite his bravery, he would have been treacherously approached and put to death In accordance with the usual practice had not the people Intervened. Again at Cordoba upon the healing of the wounds Inflicted upon him by the picadors at San Lucar, Lechuzo drove nil his enemies before biui and ngaln his life was spared at the demand of the spectators. So In time Lechuzo began to be regarded as invincible, and finally he ended his days In peace at the age of ten years. Some years ago a herd of Texas bulls were Imported from their native land to Seville to give special attraction to a bullfight of more than ordinary Importance. Those American bulls furnished the Spaulards with some Interesting sport. The first of the Intended v'-tlms when confronted In the ring by horse and picador wholly neglected the horse, but paid instant and undivided attention to the man. The bull bellowed as If from sheer delight at the anticipated encounter and attacked the picador furiously. He pressed the fighter ao hard that, defense being useless, the man sought Rafety In Inglorious filght by scaling the barrier erected between the audience arvd the ring as a provision of safety. The picador was ardently and efficiently assisted over the barrier by the horns of the animal and was followed so closely that he narrowly escaped with his life by reaching a convenient gallery. The bull did his best to get at him, but, finding this Impossible. looked about for other game. The stone seats In the inclosure at Seville were ten feet above the ground, and this height has always been an In surmountable barrier for a bull, but this time things were different, for aa soon as the Texan bull saw the throng above his head he stepped buck, and the next Instant he was among them. Before the people could escape he had tossed half a dozen of them Into the ring, but they were all rescued by the ring attendants. The stone seats cleared, the steer returned to the ring, and seeing no one else to whom he might throw the gage of battle, he took the exact center of the ring and bellowed his defiance to the world. Meantime the management had got busy, and a soldier with a Mauser was summoned from a nearby barracks and the bull's life was lnglorlously ended. Mud Wallows Ars Hygienic. An old proverb says: "Mud does not stain." It might be completed by: "It even serves as soap, at least In Esthonia." There are from three to five million Inhabitants In Esthonia who have no soap. It Is difficult. In a country where there Is such a lack of transportation facilities, to assure sufficient quantities of a necessary product to a population which Is greatly In need of other things besides. That Is why the American Red Cross, while wnltlng for new supplies of soap, has Instituted mud baths, tistfionian mud has no healing powers, but thanks to regular mud baths, public hygiene has improved In this country. A very simple thing; but it had to be thought of.?From Le Figaro, Paris. Again. On the night of armistice day a negro trooper met some hilarious Frenchmen. Next morning he was before his captain, charged with Intoxication. "\oung man," scowled the captain, "you've got a niiehtv irond ree ord, and I'm sorry. Have you any excuse to offer for this outbreak?" "I ain't got no excuse, please, eap'u," said the culprit, "but I'se done got a good reason." "A reason," exclaimed the captain. "What Is It?" "Well, cap'n. I dunno de English fo' It, but de bunch I met las' night called It 'encore.'" Concrete Baffled Bandit*. At the time of the Modem revolution In 1910 the various railways of Mexico were beginning to use concrete In the making of culverts, and It is understood that roost of the concrete culverts and bridges built at that time , have ^ihatood the bandits' attacks and other Injuries, while th* wood and steel structures huve been destroyed. DESERVED TO SAVE PUPPIES I I > Shrewd Old Mother Coyote Wasted Ne Time Trying to Get Them Out of the 8ack. The coyote 1* unpopular both among humnn beings and among Its fellow animals; but the coyote Is very intelligent as well as unpopular, evidently j sharing these peculiarities with the J I fox. Two young men who lived near Garfield, In the state of Washington? Mathews and Babcock by name?were plowing one spring when they came upon a family of three young coyotes. | They took possession of the little creatures; and meantime the old coyotes, j the little ones' parents, kept hovering , about In an unpleasant W8J- i | By and by, to get rid of them, | Mathews wfcnt to his house, got bis j brother Henry, a gun aud a aunny- , sack. The little coyotes were put In* ! i to the sack, which was then securely ] tied at the mouth. The old coyotes ( now disappeared, but in the hope of luring them so near that he could get a shot at them Muthews went to fol- i lowing the plowmen about the field. , leaving at the end the bag with the ' little ones. Two or three times the purty went around the Held; but although the old coyotes were seen they kept at a safe distance. ! But soon as the plowmen and the | gunner came around toward thfc place W.EPLYLER Public : | Auctioneer I J I 1 j p_ U M 0 v.

Henry fired at tier, but without effect. She made good her escape with her puppies tied up In the sack, and doubtless she had no difficulty tn ripping the bag open and liberating the young ones as soon as she reached a safe place. If she had been so foolish as to at tempt to open the sack before picking up the puppies she would certainly have loet the young ones and her life. Man-Eating Tiger*. "Man Eaters" begin their scourge of villages In India only when age begins to stiffen their muscles, and when human flesh Is once tasted they crave for nothing else, according to Paul Drevy, In the World Wide Magazine. Increasing difficulty In seizing the imall and agile denizens of the jungle, writes Drevy, leads the tiger to attack persons as a means of gaining his food. The success with which the man eaters hnve been able to secure human flesh has led them to throw off the old Instinct of terror of man. Incursions of man enters In India often die down for ten or fifteen years, lays Drevy, and then some community Amis within a few duys that any number of Its members hnve disappeared and a seurch la made for the animal. In one district of the central provinces, 32 persons disappeared in 45 duys. The beast was finully killid by an English officer. in nnouier secuon iz villages were (lie scene of invasions for more than three months. Finally, more than 2,XX) armed men set out to find the- man ater, but without result. The animal, >n one of its incursions, bounded over i garden feuce and Impaled Itself on i stake. N In India few animals under fifteen rears of age have been known to attack persons. It is generally after (hat age that they begin their attacks >n human lives. ' * * ' ' : / .
