As the ‘bull stood bellowing defi- ance and with no one apparently will- ing to attack him, Miguel Ballo, a picador who was a spectator in one of the boxes, leaped unarmed into the inclosure.

Anglo-Irish Tunnel. Not only is it thought that the long- talked-of tunnel between England and F¥ance will be constructed at no re- mote date, but there Is also talk of a tunnel between England and Ireland. This wpulg restore to a.slight extent the geographical union that existed be- tween the two countries in one geologl- cal’ age. thousands and -thousands of years ago. Great Britain and Ireland were then separated only by a great valley. . It is proposed to carry the tunnel from some point on the coast of Lan- cashiré to the nearest point in Antrim or: dowri on the Irish coast, a subma- rine: length. of 24 miles. One of the great benefits of the tunnel would be, that it would shorten the transatlantic jeurney by at least 48 hours. It would also help the Irish cattle trade and the shipping of perishable goods, especial- Iy fish, to English markets. Estimates of the cost of the proposed tunnel vary from $85.000,000 to $80,000,000. He Had One Better. One of our honest old farmers came home and found a sewing-machine man in tge house demonstrating to the women what fine work it would do. The agent asked the farmer to bring in g shingle, and sald: “I will show Jou that the Wonder Worker machine will do heavy work, for I will stitch _:,lg'h.q across the tip of the shingle where it is at least onesixteenth of e {nch thick.” “Not Interested,” sald the farmer. “Over ‘crost here ’'bout three miles northeast a young man built a house last summer, and I'll be durned if his wife .didn’t take her Mechanical Mar- vel’sewin’ machine and stltch on ev'ry blame course of clapboards, from gable to eaves, clean down to the sills.” i As the agent slammed his machine into his light truck and chugged away, the farmer turned to his wife and sald: “Well, Rita, I sewed that agent up all right, dido’t I?

THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER ' FARMER MOORE HAS ~ GAINED 37 POUNDS All Troubles Overcome by Taking Tanlac—Had Suffered Eight Years «I suffered for eight long years be- tore 1 found a medicine that would do me any good, but since taking Tanlac I have gained exactly thrity- geven pounds, and all my troubles liave been completely overcome,” said John N. Moore, a well known and prosperous ~ farmer who lives on R. F. D. No. 4, Empire, Il1, while in Shorthose’s drug store in Blooming= ton the other day. “When I commenced taking Tan- lac,” he continued “I had reached the point where 1 couldn’t do any work at all, and was forced to hire a hand to take my placé on the farm. T had suffered so much and so long with stomach trouble, I was just about down and out so far as health and strength was concerned. During all these years my appetite was very poor, and what little I did manage to eat would.cause me worlds of suf- fering. Gas would form on my stom- ach so bad that I could hardly get my breath, and I would have the worst sort of cramping spells. 1 finally got to where I was hardly ever able to retain what I ate, and would actually get nauseated every time 1 looked at anything to eat. 1 had fallen off so much, and was 80 low in health that all my friends were talking about the awful condi- tion I was in. I was very nervous all the time and never knew what a good night’s sleep was. “] heard about Tanlac, thea, and I thought I would give it a trial. Well, sir, my friends and neighbors are talking differently now. They are asking me what in the world have 1 been taking to make such a big im- provement in my condition, and it just does my heart good to tell them that Tanlac did it. It is wonderful the way I have gained-in weight and strength. I can go to the field now and do as hard work as any hand on the farm. My stomach seems to be in perfect condition, and 1 never have indigestion, and am not bothered with gas forming after meals. 1 have the best appetite I ever had in my life,’and cam eat just anything 1 want. I am free from all that nervousness, too, and I sleep just like a boy every night. Tanlac gas done all that for me, and I am-as well and hearty now as I ever was in my life, and as long as I live I will pass the good word along to others who suffer as I did.”. “Tanlac is sold In Bemidji by the City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs. R.

Meekins in the Sclen- tific American. “One locomotive was ordered from each of the competing companies. In every respect save one the ‘American product was unmistgk- ably superior. However, it had been pdinted black before shipment from the works, and on the way across the Pacific it became more or less rusted. “Its appearance, therefore, was far less ‘attractive than that ot the Euro- pean locomotives, which were painted in accordance with Chinese preference, and had been touched up by the manu- facturers' agents after arriving in China.

It is estimated that 600,000 Japaunese are employed in the seaweed indus- tries, using the weed in the manufac- ture of such diverse objects as police- men's boots, picture frames, marbled floors, and electri¢ switchboards.
