IMPRESSIONS.
The touch of a hand, the glance of an eye,
Or a word exchanged with a passer-by;
A glimpse of a face in a crowded street
And afterward life la incomplete;
A picture painted with honest teal
And we lose the old for the new ideal;
A chance remark or a song's refrain.
And life la never the same again.
An angered word from oar Up is sped
Or tender word is left unsaid.
And one there la who. his whole life long,
Shalt cherish the brand of burning
wrong;
A line that stares np from an open page,
A cynic amlle from the Up of age,
A glimpse of loving seen in a play,
And the dreams of our youth are swept
sway.
A friendly smile and love's embering
aoark
Leans into Same and Illumines the dark
A whispered "Be brave" to our feUow
men
And they pick np the thread of life
again.
Thus never an act or a word or thought
But that with nngueesed importance la
fraught, i
For small things build np eternity .
And blaaon the ways for a destiny.
"EL CHATT0."
T N the house of "EI Chatto," ex-
I buli-flghter of Madrid and present
"Torero before the Mexican pub
lic," there was dire dismay, owing to
the low state the very low state of
the family exchequer.
"EI Chatto" (meaning "the snub
nose") bad Just finished taking his
morning chocolate and "pan dulce.
alsted by his pretty wife, Donna Lollta,
who also bad been member of the
noble army of bull-fightersln fact,
first female espada in the big ring at
Seville but this was a secret.
A career that might possibly have
been glorious bad been cut short by the
selfishness of "EI Chatto," wbo had
loved ber, married ber, and taken her
away from the old world to the new
the rich country of Mexico where a
bull-flghter was a prince.
Successful, feted, and honored in
Cuba and afterward in Mexico, "EI
Cbatto's" prosperity had not lasted
long, for soon had come the edict that
bull fighting in Mexico must stop. .
This morning, the day before the bull
fight honoring the fiesta of San Marcos,
investigation revealed one big piece and
fourteen copper centavoa. Not enough
to pay coach hire even!
Here was a pretty mess; -no wonder
that "El Chatto" leisurely and calmly
spoke every naughtly and lurid word
that came to his mind during the next
half-hour.
At last, out of breath, "FJ Chatto"
paused and glared about him, as
though in search of some one to fight.
Donna Lollta smiled at him sweetly.
removing the clgaret from her pretty
lips as she murmured: "Hare you fin
ished, little Snub Noser
A shrug of the shoulders was her hus
band's reply.
, "Then listen, O most worthless hus
band, for I bare a plan a plan most
magnificent, thereby we will make a
fortune sufficient silver poo, one 60
eent piece, one lO-cent"
"This is how It is," she pursued, blow
ing a ring of smoke into her husband's
face; "the impresairo pay yon little
very little only a hundred silver dol
lars is it not so 7"
81, that is all the plgsr growled the
torero; "and after this there will be no
fight until 'holy week' no more
moneyf
"Pues, then we will make more out
of them much more. listen, marido
mlo; this is the plan.
The gloom clears away from the
house of the matador; there continues
rejoicing all that day. "FJ Chatto" and
his pretty wife hare a most Joyous
comeda, and afterwards lay their beads
together on the subject of the morrow's
fight and a special Spanish costume
that Lollta is to wear one of old Se
rllla all rose pink and Spanish man
tilla, with a pink rose in ber blue black
hair, this latter being another of the
mysteries; in Mexico few ladles ever
wear the costume of old Spain it is as
much worn out, passe, here as the
patches and powder and hoops of the
revolutionary days are in Anglo-Saxon
lands.
But why Is she wearing It to-mor
row T Unless, indeed, it Is be
cause fully fifteen enormously rich
Spanish families bare taken boxes and
will be there I Perhaps that Is It!
Lolllta wishes to be patriotic that is
what Is the matter!
She purposely took a seat just be
hind the first barrier of the bull ring
not seven feet above the ground where
ber husband will kill his bull "so that
she can oee him better," as she lisps to
an admiring Mexican fighter, , wbo
wishes ber to go Into one of the boxes.
In ber Sevllllan costume, the silk
mantilla exposing just enough of her
Spanish eyes and dimpled chin to make
people want to see more, Dona Lollta
Is by far the most admired woman in
the plaza, distracting attention even
from the beautiful banderilla work that
El Largo" Is going through with in
the ring. .
Many a rich Spanish lady up there
In the boxes envies the loyalty that
has Induced the wearing of a passe
dress, and many a Spaniard feels bis
heart grow warm and bis eyes moist
as, forgetting the little figure before bis
eyes, be can see another one of the old
days In the old country almost identic
al; many a man forgets the fat, richly
dressed Mexican wife at his side and
goes back In heart to just such a girl,
whether of Andalusia, of Seville, or of
Madrid.
And ssated alone in his box the prince
of bankers, old Frauqulllo, drops bis
glass and sighs; perhaps If a girl like
that oue yonder bad lived, instead of
passing away from him during the first
poverty-stricken month of their mar
ried life there In Barcelona, he would
not now be a lone, triste man, without
borne, chick, or child only the money.
She is trembling from ber dainty
head down to her tiny, silk-bowed
Spanish slippers all the time that "El
Largo" is torturing the furious, paw
ing buU with his sharp banderlllas.
She clasps ber bands tightly together,
as, finally, tiring of the banderilla work
which, in fact, has been somewhat
long drawn out. "on account of the
matador, 'El Cbatto's,' sudden sickness
and falntness' the public of tho sunny
side begin to clamor for "El matador!
Mate el toro! Que renga el matador!
El matador!"
The gate swings open nt last, and
"'El Largo" still tease the bull as "El
Chatto" moves forward slowly,' and
bows first to tb President and then to
the public In spite of his irtntrnirirent
silver and violet costume, he looks
deathly 111 -his face is white and
drawn, and under hi eye great black
rings show, that extend almost hair
way down bis face.
But "El Chatto" is game, If he Is sick
perhaps the presence of hla wife in
spires him with fresh courage, for he
unsheathes his bright, keen sword, nods
briefly to "EI Largo," who gets out of
the way, smiles once at Lollta, wbo is,
beneath her mantilla, far whiter than
he, then makes a tantalising movement
at the bull. .
After all, no one can fight A bull as
does the Spanish matador. At least
during "El Chatto's" splendid work of
the next seven minutes that is what the
people think. All of them are on their
feet shrieking, some breathless with
delight! Silver dollars and hats and
flowers rain down Into the ring, but
"EI Chatto" has no time to bow bis
thanks; he la too busy.
On her feet, as hi everybody else, for
that matter, Lollta I watching every
motion, her heart beating in great
leaps, and so excited and wrought up
now that she has forgotten to feel
afraid.- Bull and matador are just un
derneath her, and twice her husband
has glanced at her significantly; she is
watching with ber heart In her eyes.
One psss of the sword backward over
the shoulder now, then, Dios help
a-h-h!
For all In second it happens; the
matador, suddenly reeling after a fancy
pass at the bull, has cast one agonised
look up at bis wife and fallen prone on
the ground The bull does not see, for
the furious Impetus of his but charge
has taken him several feet beyond the
matador.
But before the people have well seen
that, there Is a quick leap and a flash;
a slight figure Is In the ring', ber man
tilla la cast back, the pink rose has
fallen into the dust; ber tiny, white
hands have caught up the sword. As
the bull swings madly forward she
meets him.
He is an enormous beast, and to be
on a line even -with his shoulder she
bos to rise on tiptoe. She does it Her
face la white and calm as the brute
rushes at ber, lowering his head. She
springs forward and upward; the
sword sinks out of sight In the bleeding
shoulder no fancy passes for ber!
And the bull topples over on his knees.
the blood gushing out in torrents, lie
is dying dead!
The mantilla Is trampled into the
dust the pink rose Is now a faded, red
dened scrap, but the women, her hands
blood-stained and her face white as
death, knows nothing about that On
her knees, sobbing like a baby, from
overwrought passion and nervousness,
she Is holding her husband's uncon
scious bead in ber trembling arms.
As for the populace, they hare passed
from horror-stricken silence and terror
into hysterical shouts, screams, ap
plause, and evea tears.
Out comes purses and dollars, and
even jewels from the rich ladies pres
ent and massee of flowers. Amid
shouts of "bravo;" down it all pours
into the ring. As for the great banker,
Fsanquilio, who is so excited that be
can hardly move down goes his foot
man with a message to "La Espanola!"
Not waiting' to bow or to tbank the
people, so overcome is she with her
tremendous success. Dona Lollta flies
from the ring. It is all she can do to
tremblingly thank the bearer of a
check from the Banker Franqalllo, wbo
has filled it out for $10,000. Bravo!
So that Dona Lollta's little plan work
ed well after all so well that fire days
later she and her husband left for
Spain, where, having added much more
money to the banker's $10,000, they
have now retired and are great peo
ple.

owes his success to his esposa which
is not understood, naturally, by the
Spaniards of Spain. The Argonaut

trial, and you will be pleased with it,
and will recommend It to yout friend
or to any who suffer from constipa
tion, or fiom over-feeding, or from
colds, headaches, biliousness, or other
ills resulting from an Insotive condi

meters of pasteboard cards would have
been necessary to produce this web ac
cording to th present method, and de
signers would have required many years
to carry out the work. Now tne de

struck with the marvelous plasticity
