It Isn't ple&sant to see a ma.n's cheek l a.id open delibera.tely. The next round proved even more d isastrous for the plump red-cap, for he re· oeived an ugly gash above the eye, which will go with him as long as the eye itself. N ext time his chin suffered, . and t hen his nose. He was out of breath and looked miserable. I went to the window &nd look· ed at the olear blue sky and the golden fields, and wondered why human societ y must so torture itself with useleBB and cruel eon ven· tionalities. But the fascination of the ra.fn. ing blows called me back to see the next round, A hum of interest re.n along t he gallery front when the cool little fellow was seen to get by far the heaviest blow of the fight aorosa his brow, which was soon covered with blood, " They took off the goggles and the blood ran into his eye6, Then t hey mopped it up and he was ready again, a.nd in t he nex t round gave his opponent a nother gash on the left temple. It seemed t o me about time to call a h&lt for good, and presently they did. Under the rules a fight fasts fif. t een minutes of actua.l fencing, pauses not counted. With pauses reckoned in, this must have lasted about forty minutes. The gla.dfat ors ca.rried t heir bloody heads into anot her r oom to receive the doctor's attention,a.nd prep&rations began for another duel.

A party of frightened sheep herders rode into Candelaria a few days ago covered with duet a.nd ashes, and with numerous holes burnt in their clothing. They reported tha.t on one day they wer e startled by an un· usual rumbling noise and trembling of the ground. At first they mistook the noise and rumble for thunder, but it was quickly followed by a tremendous explosion, and on looking u p they were appalled at seeing a moun tain not far away belching forth a column of fl a.mes and smoke several hundred feet in height . The air was soon filled with fiery cinders and hot ashes, which came down upon them in clouds, The a.ffrighted men immediately d rove theirsheep to a place of sa.fehy, and rode to the nearest settlement ·---------~···-·M· with t he startling news.

He Wanted to Know. At Willis a tired-looking woman, lea.ding a. freckled-nosed, tow-headed, ten-year old citizen of tho United Stat es, boarded the train and sa.t down with a sigh that sounded like the exhaust pipe of a. tug boat. The boy stared at the pa.ssengera while he crowded a. green apple into his mouth. Having stowed the cholera bombshell away in the secret recesses of his interna.l econ· omy, he scre wed h imself aroun d on t he seat, looked har d at & penpiring fat man &c:-oss the aisle, and sa id : " Sa.y, m &w, why don't the kee:cs go?" "Be quiet, Johnny," sai i his mother,a3 she p ulled a red .b&ndanna from her p oc\i:et and blew a blast on her nose tha.t went echoing and re-echoing down t he aisle like a glad cry of a full grown Apache with au important case of cholera morbus and two ecalps in his belt. "Ma.w, w'a.t's that fat man's n11.me ?" " I dunno, " "W'a.t ma.de his hair:come out, maw ? Oh I maw ; there's a skeeter on h is head ! Does it hurt fat men when skeeters bite 'em?" The woma.n took an invoice of snufl", w hile the boy squirmed ar ound and fixed his eye on a. fashionably at tired lady who was engaged in the cl&ssic pastime of churning a hunk of gum. His lower jaw dropped two inches as he g11.zed, and then he poked his maternal ancestor in the ribs aud inquired " Maw, is that woman chawi~terb11.cker: W'y don't she spit? You allers spits when you chaws terbacker, don't yer, maw ? Say, maw, w'y don't the keers go ?" · The woman took another invoice of anuff and rema.rked : "Shut n o ! drat ve. or I'll bust ye !" Thv.t settled him- for four seconds. Then he gazed at the fat man and asked:" W 'at makes that man so fat , maw ? Oh! maw, he spit on the floor I If t his wa.s your house you'd peel him fer it, wouldn't you maw ? Spose h e's readin' 'bout Injuns? Say ma.w, w'y don't/ the keers go?" Then he twisted around, got do?rn a.nd humped hi mself over the ann of the fat man's s~at and said : " You aint my pa." "No, blo.at you!" howled the sufferer; ' if I was I'd shoot you. Now you go and sit d own, and clon't eay another word or I 'll eat you." The boy winked hard, sbuflled his feet upon the floor, sidled back into his seat and r ema.rked :" M&w, w'y don't the keers · go ?" j . ., .
