Did you ever hear of the young American girl who at. you with evil intentions in his eye, he can't appreciate the feeling, because under those circumstances, the bull looks as big as a house. You could not blame the amateurs for being a bit nervous, even if they did have the points of the horns of their little pets sawed off, as we had noted before we came in. But they gét quite a hand from the crowd and seemed to perk up considerably. After a strut or two around the ring to take applause from all quarters, our amateurs y got down to business, and the real show was on. Right here was where we were enlightened with regard to the shoe box affair. A chap dressed all in white— white tights, sash, shoes and shirt—with his face painted white—gracefully slid into the ring and took his place on top of the barrel. After he had bowed to the applause, he straightened up and stood immovable, for all the world like a statue on a monument. ~ Just then the fun began. The door underneath the back of our box opened, and a mild eyed little bull, with his horns rounded off, came in under us. He was a sort of brindle in color, and a very mild tempered little beast, apparently. But his character changed very quickly. Juan reached down into a grip that he carried, and pulled out a brass syringe full of carbon bisulphide. As he leaned over and through the crack, he sprayed the little bull from stem to stern. This was done so quickly that even the others in the box hardly noticed it, but we were all in together on the joke, anyway. Carbon bisulphide is highly volatile, and has a high evaporation rate, but temporarily in contact with the skin it produces a state-of irritation which, while not damaging to the body, nevertheless produces ‘on an animal the same effect as turpentine, but many times greater. In other words, its effect is psychological rather than physical. The bull suffered a complete change of heart from that moment. In about four stifflegged jumps he was out in ) the ring. Tail straight out, eyes red as flame, and set for action. The first thing that caught his eye was a gorgeous “capa” being flaunted by one of the amateur bull fighters. tried to shake hands with Queen Victoria? Queen Vic The owner was standing at the other side of the ring, False pleasure will be, is, chastened; it has no right taking a bow from an audience of dark-eyed senoritas. to be at peace. —Mary Baker Eddy brushed the proffered shake aside with a slight moveJust then a half dozen of his companions gave a yelp of ment of one mitted hand, the sweet young girl was horribly embarrassed and wthen the social coach heard of warning.

How could you have committeed so in the air, and came down astride of the bull’s neck.

Oh well, the urge to bow before another human being has never afflicted me, I'd look astride of his neck backwards, and holding on to his horns upon a queen if she came my way, but I wouldn't know for dear life.
