?
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

saw a strange sight; It was the old
mother coyote, with the sack In her
mouth, making off over the bill at
full speed.
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.
