SUNDAY AMUSEMENT?
IN MEXICO A PRIEST SENDS HIS BIRDS
TO A COCK FIGHT.
An Enthusiastic Lover or Game Roosters
Enter-talus His Congregation With Bar.
Contests Between Beiligerent Cocks-
One Sunday’ a Sport.
“It was in a Mexican village,” said the
explorer. “Great had been our surprise
the evening before when a little after 5
o’clock we rode into the public square
up to the door of the convent and" ob-
served a. long line of game cocks guard-
ing one side of the great church. Well,
that was our first impression. Closer
inspection made things plainer. In the
convent, residence of only the priest and
his relations, we hung our hammocks,
, rested awhile, refreshed the inner man
with tortillas and black beans, then went
forth to investigate the feathered regi-
ment. The large church was built out
into the square, so that its rear wall was
on a line with the convent and other
structures forming that side of the
square.
“Along the wall that stood at right an-
gles with the front of the convent small
wooden stakes had been driven in the
ground. To each a plumed warrior,was
securely attached at asafe distance from
his valiant compeers. Who could have
dared to utilize for such a purpose the
shade afiorded by the wall of the sacred
edifice? Another instant and we should
have voiced this thought. It is general-
ly a mistake to speak in a hurry. The
good old priest had followed us and was
nowat our side. Pointing a lean brown
finger at a very proud looking rooster,
he said: ‘That is the prince of this lot,
though they will all prove themselves,
splendid fighters, I know! I have not‘
studied the creatures 40 years for nothing 1’
So! They were his own property! Yes,
another five minutes’ talk made it plain
that the pet hobby of this holy man was
cock fighting! We will call him Father
F. because it is mt necessary to give
the name of our kind host. Fairly
launched on his favorite topic, he talked
away for a full hour and was ut-
terly amazed, not to say somewhat in-
credulous, when informed that we had
never seen a professional tussle between
those birds so dear to his heart and
purse, and which he loved to see fighting
in the ring. ‘But you must come with
me tomorrow afternoon,’ said he; ‘the
people here all like it, and we enjoy the
harmless sport every Sunday afternoon.’
He intended no sarcasm.
“Nolens volens, when Sunday after-
noon came. our host. having laid aside
his sacerdotal robes after celebrating
high mass, piloted us to the scene of ac-
tion. The pit was in the interior court-
yard Of a. private house. A circular
fence of slender sticks surrounded the
carefully leveled ground dedicated to
the carnage.
a shed, thatched with palm leaves, shel-
tered the spot from the scorching rays
of the sun. In gay attire the most re-
spected matrons and’maidens of the
place were there, the performance being
countenanced and partly provided by
the priest. A lively conversation was
kept up, all present being acquainted.
The roosters had been shorn of their
feathers, save those of the wings and
tail. Each bird was weighed; then
curved steel spurs were secured to the
stumps of those provided by nature,~but
which had been cut off. Quite suddenly
conversation ceases. Two birds are in
the ring. The struggle commences.
Heads lowered, eyes glaring, quivering
with rage, the heroes fly at each other.
"Calculating that his opponent has
jumped too high, the other one crouches,
avoids the blow and turns upon his foe,
who stands firm. Both rise in the air,
breast striking against breast, each striv- '
ing to deal his-adversary a mortal blow.
One is stabbed—he staggers. Profiting"
by this weakness, his adversary follows
up the attack, but the wounded“ one
keeps an eye on his enemy, and not ”be-
ing ready for him dodges, regains his
position and inflicts a wound. BOth now
have difficulty in keeping on their feet,
though neither will yield. More wounds
are dealt. Both fall exhausted. One
recovers, sees his foe prostrate, so does
not attack, but shakes his lowered head
and claws the ground in his fury. Im- '
patiently he thirsts for the life of his
opponent, who, no less savage, regains
his feet, and with glaring eyes watches
every move of his adversary. .
“The enthusiasm of their owners and
backers increases as the wounds become
more numerous—the excitement is in;
tense, and bets run high. The creatures
engaged in deadly strife keep cooler than
the audience. A moment arrives when
all the backers talk at once. ‘Five dol-
lars more on the white? ‘Ten: on the
canelo’ (cinnamon color). The stakes do
not exceed $5.30. At last one warrior
falls. Dead silence follows, so great is
the suspense. Will he rise once more?
Victor examines victim very distrust-
fully, makes sure he is dead, then mount-
ing on the prostrate form draws hmelf
up with an exultant cry of victory, just
like some gladiator of olden times.
"All through the long summer after-
noon one battle succeeded another. The
birds that survived were taken home to
be carefully tended until restored enough
to fight again. Even those that had lost
one or both eyes would fight if an Oppor-
tunity was given to them, for these birds
are so ferociously brave that unless
wanted .to fight they have to be kept out
of each other’s reach.
“At the bo’clock dinner in the com
vent our reverend host talked of nothing
but his triumphant roosters and called
on us to bear witness that the very one
he had pointed out had proved. itself that
day the greatest hero of them‘ all.”—New
York Tribune. .

The human mind usually reaches a
degree of maturity before it grasps the
general idea of space, but a little 8-year-

Au ale Ever “Bond?” '
Surely mankind has sufficient. faults
an failings of its own to answer for
wit out being called upon to assume the
responsibility of animal failings as well.
An American author has discovered that
domestic animals, such as cats or dogs,
are not only subject to ennui, but also
display their feelings under that inflic-
as their human friends, a fact which no
one who has kept tame :animals will be
tempted to deny. 9'
But frOm’tliis fact our contemporary,
The N ews, leaps to a perfectly unwar-
rrantable conclusion and boldly asserts
that ours is the fault. that mankind has
inoculated the beast creation with its
own particular disease and that it is
civilization “which produces ennui, not
only in men, women and children, but
even in cats and dogs.” "We may well
blush,” it continues, “when we think
how man has demoralized the dog. We
have taught the dog to be bored. We
have corrupted him by our society.”
And again, “Ennui is one of man’s many
inventions, but he has taught the un-
profitable-vice to the domestic or at least
to the household animals—pupils only
too apt in evil.”
Was ever so monstrous a. charge lev-
eled against our innocence! The next
thing we shall be told is that we are the
cause that dogs do bark and bite and
that whatever may have been the mor-
ality of Dr. Watts his natural history
is no better than his poetry. The News,
if it is so assured of the demoralizing in-
fluence it has exercised upon dogs, is
welcome to blush for itself. We prefer
to maintain that dogs sorrow under
boredom for the same simple reason that
they delight to bark and bite, “for ’tis
their nature to.”—London Spectator.
Advised For His Good.
'1 They are neighbors on Second avenue,
and as they walked down town the other
morning one of them observed:
I‘lMy' wife is crazy to have me buy a.
' nevvtmilk cow. What do you think of
the idea?” .
“Magnificent! You couldn’t invest $40
ins} Way to bring 'you better returns.”
“Much bother and expense?" ,
“Hardly any. Your milk won’t cost
you over a cent a quart, and it will be
pure milk too. If I had abarn, I’d keep
two cows.”
“Two or three of my friends have
rather discouraged me.”
“Don’t listen to ’em. Rich cream for
strawberries and coffee—pure, sweet
milk for the children and kitchen! I’ve
often wondered that you didn’t keep a
cow. N 0 care, no trouble, no expense.
I’ll guarantee you’ll never regret it. In
fact, it is really your duty toward your
children." .
“Yes, I suppose so. I guess I’ll go
over to the hay market and buy one and
send her up. ‘
Ten minutes later the man who ad-
vised was telephoning to a carpenter,

at the house yesterday measuring doors
and windows for fly screens. Itold him
- to go ahead at $42, but I wantto coun-
termand the order. Sold out? Oh, no!

How to Use Charcoal In Place of Ice.
For keeping large pieces of meat and
poultry here is a simple device: Have a
large barrel or hogshead half filled with
charcoal. Put meat hooks'in a strip of
joist and place across the top of the bar-
rel. Have a netting to spread over this.
This barrel may be kept in a cool place
and pieces of meat be hung on the books.
The charcoal will keep the atmosphere
dry and sweet, and the netting will be a
protection against insects. Should there
be danger from rats or mice use wire
netting. ,
Fresh fish may be rubbed with salt,
wrapped in paper andburied in a bed of
charcoal. Of course the charcoal in
boxes and barrels should be changed at
least once a. month. It can be used for
lighting fires or for broiling meats or
fish. If, however, it it diflioult to get a
good supply of charcoal, the old can be
purified by putting it into the stove with
a few lighted chips and allowing it to
burn until redhot. At this stage open
all the windows to let the gas pass off;
then close the drafts of the stove, remove
the covers and leave the room. When
the charcoal becomes cold, it will be
ready for use again. —- Ladies’ Home

Strange Experience of a. Letter.
A lady in London wished-to communi-
cate with a. friend in America, whose ad-
dress she did not know. In order to ob—
tain the needed information she wrote
to another friend, who also lived in the
new world. The letter was duly dis-
patched, but the ship which carried it
was wrecked, and the mails went to the
sea bottom. ' _
They were eventually recovered, how-
ever, and the letter in question, torn and
discolored, found its way back to the
sender. While subjecting it to a minute
examination, the lady was surprised to
find part of another letter adhering to
it, upon which epistle was the full ad—
dress of the friend with whom she
wished to correspond. In this strange
way, without having reached its destined
tion, her letter had brought to her the
. answer desired—London Tit-Bits.

screamed out: “Dear‘meymadam, what

dreaming about? You have the ace in
your hand, and you suffer the adver-
sary-’sking to pass.” A glanceat the
lady soon showedthat any explanation
:hadbeenseizedwitha stroke of. “
