On the very corner of Calle de log
Tescndltos Blancos (Street of the Little
White Fish) Just where it Juts into the
. little Plaza de San Pablo is the shop of
Dona Anton'ia. It is a clean, tidy llttlo
place, and in it you can buy the best
cigarettes to be found in all , Mexico,
, you can be served at all hours of the
day with thick Spanish chocolate, hot
and pasty for Dona Antonla Is Span
ish and therefore knows how to make
delicious chocolate also you can buy"
there pins, needles, lottery tickets, na
tive Mexican sugar in tail brown cones,
macaroni fresh from Italy, sardines,
olives, Spanish wlue and many other
things, for, while the shop is a small
one, it contains what the proprietor
proudly calls "an assortment of "the
most complete and -finished."
Dona .Antonla herself waits her
varied customers: All! of the commoli
folk in that part ot the city patronize
her, and so she is kept very busy, with
hardly time enough to attend to her
yellow headed parrot or to keep the
"mariposa" light burning under the
picture of la Virgen which hangs on
the wall.
Things were different when Carlos,
the torero, was there good looking,
swaggering Carlos in bis gaudy bull
fighter's shirt and tight trousers, with
his Dirrtailed head surmounted by the
flat torero hat but Carlos lias most leral padre .nuestros; before the Image
cruelly been banished; riot that he evejdof la Virgen and promised to burn long
did any work in the shop the gods of
bullfighters forbid! but ho at least
was always willing to lounge in the
door or against the counter, thereby
scaring away robbers, and even on
some occasions so far unbent his digni
ty as to serve the chocolate to custom
ers of his own fraternity while Dona
Antonla beamed from afar, for she
worshiped Carlos with the adoration
that only a fat and homely woman of
40 can feel for a young and handsome
man.
Ever since bullfighting had gone out
in Mexico, three years before, she had
waited on Carlos hand and foot, giving
him cheerfully and lovingly from her
savings and working doubly hard in
order that he might appenr gorgeous
on feast days and Sundays. His clothes
were of the best that money could buy;
his pointed Mexican shoes were of the
finest yellow leather; his-vivid scarlet
neckties were always' of satin or soft
est silk. None of the bullfighter who
laUed on San Francisco street or In
front of . the Cantlnadl -Tlo Tepo
smoked such long, fine, black cigars as
did Carlos, and none of tbem could
boast the silver and copper coins which
always Jingled in the pockets of his
braided torero Jacket. In short, Carlos
was in the greatest of luck,' the very
V highest of clover, and did not realize
his blessings until it was too late, for
all this magnificence and luxury were
taken away from him through his own
fault and that of Panchlta.
Not that Carlos cared for pretty, co
quettish Pancbita; not a bit-of It!
Carlos loved-nb one but his own lazy,
goo looking self anfTTiothlng but his
own ease and comfort. For Dona An
tonla, who furnished him with ,he
good things of life which be so njuch
cared for and appreciated, he had a
kindly, fraternal regard. Being, more
over, aware of the furious temper
which" lurked benea'tb. Dona Adtoula's
... jgood natnred terloyJ)e. had. always
been careful to" avoid entanglements
with younger and handsomer women,
or. at least, to keep such affairs from
her sharp and very suspicious cami 1 1
In the case of Panchlta,. jiowever,. u
was a dlfllcult matter, for she was ei
ther too careless or too much in love to
dissemble. She could sjot'oi" would not
refraia fromcasthig fcoquettlsh glances
at the bullfighter, even when Dona An
tonla was by, and finally even took to
Durcbasing her thread and needles and
other supplies from . Dona Antonla'a
shop, refusing there to be served Dj
anv one but Carlos himself.
Naturally this state of affairs could
not last for long, and things came to a
crisis one day when Dona Antonla
overheard Panchlta addressing some
coquettish remarks to the torero and.
moreover,' caught him lt the very act
of kissing her pretty though needle
worn hands; after which there was a
stcene, and very nearly battle, murder
and sadden death. Dona Antonla, be
ing a very powerful woman and, more
over, greatly infuriated, scrupled not to
" fall Upon theluckless couple tooth and
null... rartos manaew to escape imn
hto life .anfl k .'.biatteuea Jaye, . while
rahcliHa, at-tbe end of the -fray, was
minus one tooth and what seemed at
first sight to be fully half of ber pretty
black hairs'
The noise of the' fight naturally at
tracted attention, and the combatant
were finally separated, moch the worse
for wear, bat nererthelesritll breath
ing forth defiance and slaughterings.
Carlos bad most unaccountably disap
peared after the first two rounds and
could not now be found. Pitying neigh
bors escorted -homeward the "battered

ly wailing Dona,' Antonla barred ber

That was at 8 o'clock. At B Carlos

was eBinnlnr to "grow very uneasy,
Something must have happened, ror,
no matter what was wrong, he always
came for his meals. At 11 he was still

At i the Cantina del Tlo Pcpe she
found ' him weeping bitterly in the
midst of sympathetic comrades, who
reproached the lady for her cruel treat

not seen what every one else well knew
that Carlos loved no one but her.
"All the. World." knew that the shame

coquetries. Fie upon Dona Antonla to
so 111 treat poor, faithful Carlos, who
had been driven to drink and threat
ened suicide through her hardness of
heart!
Two comrades carried homeward the
Incapacitated Carlos, with Dona An
tonla weeping remorsefully behind
them and sundry other toreros winking
and chuckling In turn behind her back.
For, while In luck, Carlos was as gen
erous a torero as ever uvea, ana u
would not do, for their own sakes,.to
have Dona Antonla cut Off his supplies:
And so, ns the cortege wended Its way
toward the little shop of Dona Antonla,

declared solemnly, that Carlos cared

1nany a time and oft? And was it his
fault if Infatuated glvta would. makc
unwanted love to hlm7
Nothing is easier to deceive than a
woman who wishes to be deceived,
anil Dona Auloulu believed devoutly
every word of the waggish toreros.
Carlos was put tenderly to bed, the
bullfighters feasted gayly on white
bread, "sardlnes,"mgarlic and Spanish
wtnei-whlle Dona Antonla, with con
trite face and riiddcped eyes, beamed
tipoh .Jhem from the door of Carlos'
room. They had opened her eyes io
the real character of that disgraceful
Panchlta, whom she had credited time
and again on ber. ..thread and needles
and wool. . How foolish a woman she
had been not to realize before the de
votion of Carlos and the evil behavior
of Panchlta! -
Before the noisy departure of the.
toreros Dona Antonla's plans for venge
ance had been completed. When she
went to sleep that night, she said sev-
and costly candles -before ner picture
every day of the year If certain pray
ers were granted. And then, wisely
believing that God (and also the Virgin)
helps those who help themselves, the
wily shopkeeper made her plans for an
early visit next morning to old Madre
Maria, the witch, who would tell her,
for a consideration, what she should do
with that graceless Panchlta.
Madre Maria lived In a small, dark,
' smelly Itenfement far put .Here Dona
Antonla found her at aawn, ana into
the sympathetic ear of the shriveled
old woman she unfolded her tale of
woe, while Madre Maria smoked away
steadily at ber cigar stub, nodding her
'white head at Intervals as she listened.
Good! Then what the nlna wanted
was a eoslta a Bmnll charm, that Is to
say for theshaineloss Panchlta? Some-
thlnsr not dangerous, the ntna unaer
Stood merely a Uttje thing that would,
ftftof taking it,' dause her to lose any
love for Boo Carlos, Ale, but 1$ would
be easy! And- only a matter of five
davajit that. If the nlaa-would listen,
paying to her' pobre madre first ,the
small number . -of u reaiee,'Bne woum
tell her what to do.
Half an hour later, with a wee bottle
of black fluid in her pocket ana a win.
black chicken inufBedup in her reboso,
Dona Antonla sped briskly toward the
Street of the Little White Fish, Joy
and hope once more shone In her eyes
and beamed from her fat, red face,
even though the advice and charm of
Madre Maria bad cost her fl.su.
Most assuredly It was old Maria's
"day." Hardly was the broad back of
Dona Antonla turned than anotner cii
ent anoeared upon the scene, also be
speaking advice and a mild charm that
would destroy th love of a fiyol wom
an. In the same manner did Madre
Maria advise the second applicant no
less a, person, than Pancnlta-selling
6er 1 turn, ome; whit ffuld and an
nttff""i'- hlrfuMb.the mate of
the black one sold to Dona Anionia.
Of a truth did the chicken come some
what high " the old witch had stateo.
I: to each applicant! !'bnt figure to your
self, nina mla, that It is a cnarmeu
one, wherein great power lies, and It
has, moreover, eaten for weeks only
charmed food given by, the hand of
.nnr Madra. Maria As a fact ooin
chickens had been stolen by menda
cious Maria In the dark of last night's
moan: bnt no matter.
So Panchlta her mind at ease and
also believing that all of her sorrows
were now soon to be ended, nurneu
joyfully home, with bottle and chicken
hidden safely In the depths of her blue
rehozov Meanwhile, at Intervals dur
ing that entire day, chuckles of hearty
and most unwonted mirth Issued from
the dark room of Madre Maria, who.
while not ordinarily a merry personage,
seemed mightily amused over some
thing.
Never In his life bad the astonished
tarloe been more kindly and cenerona-
ly rrr ted Tnan" ffaring The next few
days. Dona Antonla seemed to think
that nothing waa good enough for him
and, filling his pockets with coins, fair
ly poshed him Into the streets, wltlT
InJnneOona that he enjoy btmself with
his companions. Had the torero been
a suspicions man be might have
thought Dona Antonla waa engaged in
secret parsnita of which she wished
him to know nothing. Not being sntv
piclous, however, he hastened to obey
ber commands and have a Joyous time.
- Aa a matter of fact there waa noth
ing evil In the actions of Dona Antonla,
once left alone, save that one might
hare accused ber of foolishly pamper
ing and overfeeding a debilitated black
chicken which she baa oousxkj in ue
enarcoal box and fed thrice dally oo
black aapotes and tortillas made from
dark meaL But no one Carlos least
of allever saw the chicken, whose
life endured for a brief span only, and
therefore bo one unjustly condemned
ber.
Now, In the great tenement boose Just
across the street, this same chicken
pampering pceceee was secretly being
gone through with by pretty Panchlta,
1 save that ber fowj wasjed wldo
white zapok'S and light coloredtor-
tlllns. As In the case ot Doua An
tonla's chicken, which "flourished and
day by (lay waxed fatter and fatter,
ber white chlckeu also throve and grew
plump until, by. the end of the fourth
day, you would not have recognized ei
ther of these "charmed chickens."
On the evening of this same fourth
day Dona Antonla arrayed herself In '
her best purple skirt and black lace
mantilla, with the announcement to
dulnfoundcd Carlos that site was going
to the house of Panchlta for the pur
pose of asking her and her mother to
eat the midday tncal with them the
next day, since It would be a fiesta and
Panchlta accordingly at leisure.
For many months It had been the
custom of good hearted Dona Antoula
to Invite Panchlta and her blind old
mother to her own savory feast day
dinners. In view of Inst week s quar
rel, however, Panchltn's mother was
even now tcorruny lamenting mai
their dinner would have to be of tor
tillas and beans; so thnt, driven to It
by her mother's tears and her own ur
gent desire to break bread with Dona
Antonla, Panchlta was about to start
on a mission of peace when that per
son herself appeared with Jovial ex
pressions of sorrow that any misunder
standing had arisen between tuo two
families and her desire that her two
good friendB should Join her next day
for the usual fiesta meal. Of a verity
they must come.- Carlos had promised
to go with some companions to tbo
Naucalpam bullfight, wherefore she
would be all alone and sad If they did
not come to eat with her.
reace was restored In full, and soon
Dona Antoula bustled home to prepare
for the next day's feast.. Poor Carlos
was hustled Incontinently out of the
house, while Dona Antonla, doors and
windows carefully shut and locked,
proceeded to kill and boll the black
chicken, first carefully burying its
feathers and bones. All that night the
mortal remains of the charmed chick
en simmered away In a tiny olio. The
resultant broth was carefully collected
next morning by Doua Antonla and,
with the black fluid from the little bot
tle of Madre Maria, was mixed into a
very savory soup flavored with sherry
and garnished with oguncotes,of which
there was only one plateful: not that
any one of the trio had to do without
soup, however; far froni It. Soup of
the very best also made of chicken,
with sherry and tiny bits of garlic Ua
vorlng it, was to be served to herself
and Panchita's blind mother.
The dinner was a great success, de
spite the fact that only the three wom
en were present and that tue nosress
was called away from the table at least
four times to speak to customers out In
the shop. The first one of these calls
nave Tanchlta her opportunity, for
Panchlta also had tinea a cuicum mut
previous night, and In a small bottle
carried In her pocket was the boiled
down result thereof. The door between
the dining room and the "shop had been
carefully closed by Doua Antonla, so
that her guests might not be molested
by" noises from without. Never was
there a better chance. In two seconds
Pancbita had uncorked her bottle and
emptied Its contents hastily Into Dona
Antonla's soup. Then, concealing the
bottle, she was unconcernedly swal
lowing her own soup when Dona An
tonla returned to the table. Neither of
the two women for a moment suspect
ed that she was partaking of charm
ed soup, made in Identically the samo
manner from the charmed-chickens of
Madre Maria and warranted to kill the
love of any man, woman or child on
the terrestrial globe.
Now, few of us place overmuch cre
dence In signs, tokens and, least or au.
charms. For which reason I am loath
to tell vou the final result of the
charms so ingeniously d unsuspect
ingly exchanged between theso two
Jealous women. Still, if you are in
credulous, it Is not my fault.
That very same night, reaching borne
late and in a somewhat intoxicated
condition, poor Carlos tasted the first
fruits of the charm. For, In spite of all
blandishments and words that should
have melted the heart of even a stone
Image, Dona Antoula fell upon the
luckless torero and. with abuse of the
strongest literally smote him hip and
thlffh. after which she cast him lortn
Into the outer darkness of the Street of
the Little White Fish, cruelly bolting
the door In bis face and announcing
that she bad now washed her hands of
him and his shiftless comrades.
This from the woman who bad ador
ed him during three long years; this
from the woman who had that very
morning given him all ber available
money and entreated blra to come home
early I Poor Carlos! For. even though
he returned several times to tearfully
beg for mercy, there were shown him
nly freeslng contempt and coldness,
with at last the announcement that hia
next call would be watched by the
cendarme at the corner, for which
reason be had best keepwayfcr good
and all from the shop or von Aniouia.
Being,' as it "were, off with the old
love, the hapless torero bethought him
self of a new. Was there not pretty.
Panchlta, for whom be bad always
entertained a fondness? Doubtless
even yet she was fretting her heart out
over him and his neglect He wouia
co to her and console ber.
- How Panchlta received him deponent
aayeth not, of how she sped him on bis
departure admiring neighbors In the
tenement house still speak, though of
the order of his going Carlos remem
bers little more than a vision of mul
titudinous bright stars and a "bump,
bump" that aeemlngly lasted for cen
turies. Meanwhile hi surprised and
helpless body hit the steep stairs at the
rate of 00 times a minute, won i an
cblta and the neighbors cheering from
above.
The "charm" was complete. Never
more was the torero Carlos Garcia sees
In the Street of the Little White Fish,
and never were better friends than
Dona Antonla and the girl Panchlta,
who, strange to say, have never real
ized lost bow the thing really occurred

A Breeder Who Finds Ponlts Easier
la nnUu Tlinn Chicks.
The turkey has been basely slander
ed and has been considered to bo
about as stupid as a mule. I have nev
er had any experience In trying to
teach a mule to keep his hind feet on
the ground when his best friend stood
behind hlui, but I have taught turkeys
to respect my wishes and slay on one
plantation. People usk me If they are
not hard to raise. I raise a larger per
cent of tliotio hatched than I do of
chickens. For the last two years I
have raised oior 03 per cent of all tur
keys batched. j
1 have fouud that 00 turkeys In n
yard or 'field are enough to do well.
If you keep inure than that together,
they are uil to pllu In together and
smother after they are about a month
old. When I get a Mock of 50, 1 start
another drove In another field. I set
four pr.llve turkey lieus and at the
Bauie time give to chicken liens ns
many turkVy egjes as I thluk the tur
keys eau take care of. If possible, 1
set an Incubator with chicken eggs.
When they all hatch, I give the tur
keys all the poults and the chicken
bens all the Incubator chicks, and that
makes business lively all around, my
self Included. Women In tho poultry
business have very little time for so
cial duties, and the pink and spider
web teas that are bo much the fad -in
fashionable society have to be given
In the chicken yard. The turkeys and
chickens do not ask the color of their
teas, so they get their supper on time.
(And if you expect to succeed you have
to give them their supper on time and
attend to all the details of the business
on time.)
I have my little poults so they will
fly over a board a foot high when but
a week old. There are more turkeys
killed by overfeeding aud lice and
want of grit than all other things com
bined. If you do not keep them near
the house so that you -can run them
under cover when a heavy storm comtfs
up, you are liable to loso a large per
cent' I find a lnrge shed with a boord
floor Is fine' to run them In In case of
sudden storms. Of course you must
stay close at home to meet all theso
emergencies. It is not more confining
than other occupations. The; merchant,
lawyer, doctor, mechanic and farmer
have to confine themselves closely to
business, aud the poultry raiser,
whether for fancy or market, must
make a business and work on business
principles.
I raise from three different flocks of
turkeys ten hens and one torn In each
flock. We have from one acre to three
acres fenced In with a three foot wlro
nnttlnor three Inches nnart. with barbed
tvirn lit tli ron. lunkins the fence five
feet high. Turkeys will never try to
fly over n barbed wire fence. They
will crawl uuder It and crowd through
It If the wires are not cIobc together,
but they never try Hying over it. If
they over attempt It, they are almost
sure to run a barb through their root,
nnrl nni I'VilcrlcllCO or that Kind is gen
orally enough. I have had them caught
thai iiiiv nnd imuir until aeaa. 1 use
the breeding yards for the young tur
Icpva until Ihcv are large enough to
drive out ou the range, putting 60 lu
each yard. At six weeks or two
months they are driven on to their
summer range, driving them home at
night until they have learned the trick
of coming home to roost I did not
learn In a day or In a year the art of
raising nearly all tbo turkeys hatched,
not until 1 bad lost hundreds each
year, 1 acting as pallbearer and chief
mourner, and I assure you I filled the
positiosr'of mourner admirably, weep
ing copiously over burled hopes, and
those hopes were of a well filled purse.
I hope I shall not have to meet those
turkeys in the next world and be held
accountable for my unpardonable Ig
norance, but perhaps by sincerely re
penting my past mistakes the sin of
Ignorance will be forgiven me. Mrs.

Of late years England has been run
ning short of poultry, and she Is look
ing to tho United States and Canada
for additional supplies. Exports from
both countries have been steadily In
creasing of late, and the last year the
quantity sent over, especially from the
United States, was the greatest on rec
ord. In 18U8 shipments showed a big
Increase over the previous year and In
cluded one straight shipment of 20 car
loads from Illinois, the stock being
shipped to Montreal and then down to
Boston and on steamer, favorr.ble
freight rates having attracted It over
the route.
The orders for 1800 were even great
er than they were the previous year,
dealers Ip several market having re
ceived orders of more or less impor
tance, while large orders were placed
In the west Altogether these orders
foot up to about 0,000,000 pounds,
which Is equal to 00,000 boxes, 8,000
tons, or 200 carloads. English repre
sentatives are taking small lots contin
ually from the seaboard markets, and
the season's rxorts may be consider
ably more, possibly up near the 10,000,
000 pound mark, as further large or'
ders are expected.
Tha Has Para Best.
Nothing will pay better for the mon
ey Invested than chickens If tbey are
properly bandied, but to be profitable
much care must be exercised. Because
the hens will give returns under ad
verse circumstances Is tbe reason tbey
are neglected so much, but tbe better
they arc treated tbe better tbe returns
you will receive from tbem. But the
difficult part of the thing Is to make
average fanner believe It By keep
ing constantly at tbem tbey may even
tually be taught what a good thing tbe
ben really Is and bow mucb better off
they would have been bad tbey stopped

an anomalous one. There is n
