BULL HAS NO CHANCE SAYS
FUNSTON. 8
iti$frS&<$$$
(By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD.)
Vera Cruz, Mex., June 20. -(By
mail to New York.) "The bull does
not get a fair chance," was the rea
son which General Funston gave for
prohibiting bull fighting In Vera Cruz.
It's a thoroughly good American rea
son. Here's an instance of how Amer
icans here agree with the fair fight
ing little brigadier from Kansas:
As soon as bull fighting ceased a
quick-brained, money-mad) little Span
iard, who runs a theatre in a big
frame building here dug up a mov
ing picture film which had been taken
at the height of the season in the
great bull ring at Madrid. Five of
the greatest bull fighters in the world
Pastor and Gaona, Mexican idols,
included wore shown killing one bull
each. Each bull in turn was shown
on the screen in the act of killing
six or eight splendid horses. The
many Americans in the audience, on
the first night, were sickened with
disgust. The Spanish and Mexican
trick of permitting a bull to toss a
heavy horse about on its horns, un
til it is tired out, "was soon spotted
by the American beholders. They
saw that each "valiant" matador,
just before the final thrust, was
facing not a "wild ferocious bull but
a pitifully exhausted and weak wreck
that could harm no one. They re
alized in full, what Funston meant
when he said, "The bull hasn't
chance."
The film showed the sixth bull en
tering the ring, to be faced by the
rrcat Spanish fighter Fuentes. And,
all of a sudden, the picture 'stopped
several printed lines were thrown on
the screen, explaining that the next
view would show how Fuentes had
been terribly injured by the bull. An
odd murmur ran through the audi
ence. It was pay night and many
soldiers were in the crowd. The pic
ture was resumed. The bull ap--'oached
the matador; the matador
slipped; and the bull caught him, in
'he stomach with his horns; it ran
about the ring, shaking ' the "hero"
like a rag. Someone in the rear
clrppcd. Someone near him joined
him. In a minute the clapping was
peneral. There were fifty cheers.
The picture whirled along; Fuentes.
was shown being flung through the
air, a senseless heap; a dozen "val
iant" bull fighters were shown rush
ing for the fence with the bull after
them, like a summer girl fleeing from
a cow. The cheering became wild.
Suddenly a soldier grabbed a Mex
ican by the nnp of the neck, stood him
vi his feet and then knocked him
(town. "The son of a gun was hissing
the bull," he explained to a comrade
a.s the lights went on.

LIFE OF A SIBERIAN EXILE.
Elgin, July 1. After a successful
business career in Elgin that extends
uvcr a period of more than 15 years,
leading from a small picture gallery
to one of the best general stores in
the county, Hug Brothers hnve retire 1
and will from now on devote their
time to their interest outsiifc of merchandising.
One Political Offender Who Live In

Dow a political exile lives In Siberia
la shown lu M. K. 1'rh-p'n hook "Si
beria." Mr. Trice encountered tills ex
ile at Minusinsk, lie tinil III family
lived In a large lii'iixe. mid his actual
punishment seenis to consist of a cer
tulu social ostracism, runxeiiueut upon
banishment from tile went centers of
Ilussluu life.
"When I went to cull upon htm bo
came to the door himself and. showing
me lu through a room where be and
his wife hud been having their even
lug meal, ushered tue Into a room be
yond. I noticed his culm, philosophical
face wus Unit of a man who bud evi
dently endured mental strain wltb stol
cal fortitude, but bis wife, more nerv
ous tbuu be, showed signs of former
anxiety. It seemed strange Indeed that
1 should be sitting lu company wltb
two members of high Russian society,
now .'istruci.ed by exile to Siberia, and
stranger still to partake of their intel
ligent conversation on topics of human
Interest.
"First of ull I wus Interested to know
whnt sort of restrictions were placed
upon the exile's liberty. I found that
he was not allowed to leave the dis
trict In which be resided and that ev
ery week be bud to sign his name In
a book kept at the bouse of the chief
'nacballnk.' With that exception his
life wus free. He hud money, and be
could live us be liked and go where be
wished within that district, but he was
continually watched by spies, who
dogged his footsteps wherever he went
"He related to me bow be bad ac
quired gold concessions on the Mon
golluu frontier and was hoping to find
capital to flout a syndicate for working
them next year. This was not at all
my Idea of the lire of a Siberian exile.
Instead of being made to work him
self In the gulleries of the gold mines
till death released him from his chains,
the exile now floats mining syndicates."

Theee We Know Are as Nothing to

Tbe photographs of 23.870 standard
platen show the points, or Images, of
100.000,000 buus. These have not been
actually counted, but plateB secured by
exposure in telecuuierus to typical
regions of tbe sky have, and tbe entire
number bus been subjected to the cal
culus of probabilities, resulting In the
general number of 100,000,000 colossal
suns.
These have been weighed that Is,
their combined force of gravitational
attraction bus been computed. This
led to one of the most overwhelming
discoveries namely, this entire pull of
attractions of tbe quantity of matter
In 100,000.000 sous as massive as our
own sun could not even begin to im
part the high specific speeds of several
well known "runaway" suns. These
are dashing through what has been
nnmcd space with velocities so much
greater than all other suns that they
are a class by themselves.
Our sun contains 3;'.3.4Uli times more
mutter than is In tbe earth, and this
multiplied by 100.000,000 reveals tbe
quantity of matter known to exist, be
yond all human Imagination. But this
Immense mass may almost be Ignrired
as a mere fraction in comparison wltb
the gigantic quantity necessary to Im
part a velocity of from 100 to 200 miles
per second to these suns Hying athwart
the sidereal universe.
Let the number of these suns or dark
bodies run up to trillions or octillions,
tbeu the entire quantity of matter in
all of them would be less than the
weight of one grain of sand If com
pared to an Inllnite quantity of matter.

How Not to Drown.
A person who has not learned to
swim, who falls Into water, really
drowns himself because be struggles to
climb out. Should he keep cool and
Immerse his body, excepting his nos
trils, he could float until help reached
him. No one drowns with his nos
trils above the surface and his month
closed. By many experiments It was
ascertained years ago that a tlsh not
a mammal will live ten or twelve
days out of the water If Its gills are
kept thoroughly wetted, and a man or
woman with nostrils above the sur
face will not drown. Philadelphia

That Christian Scientists as a

was returning from Boston where he
attended the world's business session
in The First Church of Christ Scien

session at which representatives were
present from all parts of the world.
