Just after the night clerk had come on at the hotel and curled his mustache to his liking his attention was called to business. "Kerosene lamp for 287," requested a bellboy. "Kerosene lamp?" echoed the clerk as he whirled the register about. "Let me see. Blondly and wife of Plunkerville in 287. I thought so. Never been in a first class hotel before. Go back and show them how to use the electric light. Wonder they didn't send for a tallow candle," and the clerk took several of the corridor loungers into his confidence. "Lady says if this hotel can't afford a lamp to send up a gas stove and send it quick," said the bellboy, who had made the round trip in phenomenal time. "She acts pretty hot." "Pretty cold, I should think. Go back there and open the register, show the lady how to use the water faucets and how to turn off the electricity. Thank the Lord, she can't blow it out." The next word from 287 came with a rush. It was brought by a vision of loveliness, dressed in bewitching style, her face flushed and her blue eyes throwing off sparks. "Make our bill and receipt it at once," she said as her dainty foot beat time on the marble tiling. "But, Mrs. Blondly"— "Attend to my order, sir. Include in your bill a carriage and an express wagon to transfer us and our things and tell Mr. Blondly when he comes in that he will find us at the other house, where we will spend the rest of the season. Understand, we must go at once. I want to go to a hotel where it will be possible to warm some milk for baby before the little angel starves to death."

Personally Conducted Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays SANTA FE Hired Webster For a Week. Of course Webster was in demand by those who could afford to pay for his services. A sharp Nantucket man is said to have got the better of the great defender of the constitution in an amusing way, however. He had a small case which was to be tried at Nantucket one week in June, and he posted to Webster's office in great haste. It was a contest with a neighbor over a matter of considerable local interest and his pride as a litigant was at stake. He told Webster the partiulars and asked what he would charge to conduct the case. "Why," said Webster, "you can't afford to hire me. I should have to stay down there, he whole week, and my fee would be more than the whole case is worth. I couldn't go down there for less than $1,000. I could try every case on the docket as well as one, and it wouldn't cost any more, for one case would take my time for the entire week anyway." "All right, Mr. Webster," quickly responded the Nantucketer. "Here's your $1,000. You come down, and I'll fix it so you can try every case." Webster was so amused over this proposition that he kept his word. He spent the entire week in Nantucket and appeared on one side or the other in every case that came up for hearing. The shrewd Nantucketer hired Daniel out to all his friends who were in litigation and received in return about $1,500, so that he got Webster's services for nothing and made a good profit to boot.—Boston Herald. From His Point of View. "But you confess, father," protested the beautiful girl, when the father showed indications of a desire to hold his consent, "that you do not know of a single solitary thing that is in the least derogatory to his reputation." "That's just it," replied the old gentleman. "I don't like the idea of bringing any one into my family who is so infernally ally as all that."—Chicago Post. Drying preparations simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions, which adhere to the membrane and decompose, causing a far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants, fumes, smokes and snuffs and use that which cleanses, soothes and heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such a remedy and will cure catarrh or cold in the head easily and pleasantly. A trial size will be mailed for 10 cents. All druggists sell the 50c. Ely Brothers, 56 Warren St., N.Y. The Balm cures without pain, does not irritate or cause sneezing. It spreads itself over an irritated and angry surface, relieving immediately the painful inflammation. With Ely's Cream Balm you are armed against Nasal Catarrh and Hay Fever.

Editorial Note and Comment If the beet sugar manufacturers are telling the truth about their impoverishment, it is difficult to see how they can raise the price of railroad fares to Washington in order to be on the spot to protect themselves. Somebody figures out that the new lion house in New York's Bronx park gives each of the 17 lions a $7300 residence. The building cost $125,-000, and is a very impressive advance on the comforts and conveniences of the jungle. Any foreign power that may be seized with a desire to lick this country out of its boots is charitably referred to the official statement of Secretary of War Root that we have 10,853,395 men available for military service. The Montana legislator who wants to endow recently born triplets with $3000 as an incentive to the industry represented by the youngsters seems to be seriously misplaced in life. He ought to be in the neighborhood of some home for the feeble-minded. Lightning is no respecter of persons. It struck the temple of Troost Avenue First Methodist church in Kansas City the other day and did $200 worth of damage, and there were a lot of saloons in the place that were never touched. city committee. The first suggestion of his appointment to the prison board aroused much opposition, in which the ministers took an active part. Navin has stated that his life in prison has left him with ideas of reform which he is anxious to work out as a member of the board. THE BISCUIT DIDN'T RISE. How a Young Cook Thought to Remedy a Mistake. They had been visiting and while away had been given such delicious homemade biscuit that the memory of them still lingered in the mind. Why shouldn't they have such things themselves? The mistress of the house decided that they should, if she had to make them herself. What good wife would not be willing to take a little trouble to please her husband? So in this virtuous frame of mind she repaired to the kitchen, and there she stirred up her biscuit in the most approved fashion, shaped them daintily and put them in the pan. But she was not accustomed to this work, and it was not strange that she should forget some of the ingredients. It was the baking powder, a small but somewhat important item in the construction of light biscuit. She did not once think of it until the biscuit had been in the oven a few moments. Then, as she stood gazing admiringly at the outside of the range, which contained this precious proof of her culinary skill, she suddenly exclaimed: "There, I forgot all about the baking powder." That would have been a heartbreaking thought to most housewives, but not to this one. She was a woman of expedients. Never mind," she said as she hurriedly thought over various ways of mending matters; "those biscuits have only been in a short time, and I will just sprinkle the baking powder over city committee.

Navin has stated that his life in prison has left him with ideas of reform which he is anxious to work out as a member of the board. SUBSTITUTE FOR WORKS' IRRIGATION BILL Measure Proposed by Walter S. Mellek Proves Satisfactory to All—Modification of Lippincott's Bill The Works bill is as if it never was. The friends of the bill tried to have the matter laid over until the next session in the hope that by that time a change in public opinion might be brought about, to the passage of that or a similar measure, but the Southern California delegation in the senate would not allow of any such tactics. The bill has been killed and the Lippincott measure, providing for cooperation with the federal government, as championed by Mr. Smythe, though in a modified form, will be adopted. It is largely due to the work of Walter S. Mellek, secretary of the state board of examiners, that a condition of things has been brought about that appears to suit all factions. He had the governor's ideas and knew the desires of the Southern Californians as well as those from other irrigating communities, so he has worked on preparing a measure that might suit all sides, and seems to have succeeded, for, after submitting it to all of the opposing leaders it has been found to be without objection from anyone. As it reduces the appropriation from $107,-000 to $60,000, it suits the governor, it is to be presumed. PROVISIONS OF THE BILL "It substitutes the state board of examiners for the proposed commission, thus saving the state the $7500 that was to be used for the expenses of the commission, and makes it the duty of the examiners to attend to the work of disbursing the appropriation without extra cost to the state. Stripped of its technical verbiage, the act reads as follows: "The state board of examiners is..." LIGHTNING is no respecter of persons.

STEAMSHIPS arriving at New York or Liverpool are now announcing that at no time were they out of communication with land, and wireless telegraphy has thus put an end to anybody's hope of getting out of reach of trouble by taking a voyage on an Atlantic liner. A LONG ISLAND girl who piled a lot of stones on a railway track explained her action by saying she was tired of seeing trains go by the house every day, year in and year out, without stopping. She wished for variety and proceeded to compete it. As the girl is still young we may yet hear of her as a star on the variety stage. J. S. KIRK, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, has informed Charles Schmidt and Oscar Harting, representatives of the Turners, that he had ordered the trustees of the Jefferson school at Grand Canyon, Santa Cruz county, to compel the teacher to stop reading the Bible in the school under penalty of the withdrawal of State aid. The superintendent is acting upon advice from the attorney general that the practice is illegal. The final statistical reports of the bank commissioners for January 1, 1903, show a state of financial prosperity in California that is believed to be unprecedented in the history of the nation. There are nine savings banks in San Francisco with deposits of $114,285,315, and 173,576 depositors, having an average deposit of $881.24. In the 52 interior savings banks $53,728,277 is deposited. These sixty-one banks of the State of California aggregate the grand total of $198,012,512, distributed among 284,952 depositors with the unparalleled average of $694.89 per depositor.

A Lake That Never Gives Up Its Dead. "The Great Lakes" is the subject of an article in St. Nicholas. The author, W. S. Harwood, says of Lake Superior: Another very interesting and very sad thing about this lake is that it never gives up its dead. Whoever encounter terrible disaster—happily infrequent in the tourist season—and goes down in the angry, beautiful blue waters, never comes up again. From those earliest days when the daring French voyageurs in their trim birch bark canoes skirted the picturesque shores of this noble but relentless lake down to this present moment those who have met their deaths in mid-Superior still lie at the stone paved bottom. It may be that so very cold is the water some of their bodies may have been preserved through the centuries. Sometimes not far from the shore the bodies of people who have been wrecked from fishing smacks or from pleasure boats overtaken by a cruel squall have been recovered, but only after the most heroic efforts with dragnet or by the diver. Once on a trip down the lakes I met a olergyman who, as we passed a point of land some miles before entering the narrowing of the lake at the Soa pointed out the place where the ill fated Algoma went down on the roof some eight years ago, and as he looked he said slowly: "I was at the funeral of one man who went down with her, and the only reason his body is not at the bottom today with the other 88 that were lost is because it was caught in the timbers of the vessel and could not sink." Tennyson and His Wife. Teenyson was devoted to his wife, but like a man of true taste, he wrote very little about his feeling for her. That beautiful dedication beginning, "Dear, near and true," is that bit of his writing which will be most often associated with her name. She was a shrewd critic of her husband's work. Teenyson has been accused of inability to fuse the different portions of a long poem, and the difference in style between "The Coming of Arthur" and "The Passing of Arthur" and "The Passing of Arthur' are purposely simpler in style than the other idylls as dealing with the awfulness of birth and death," and she wished this statement of the biscuit had been in the oven a few moments.

W.E.Smythe.W.H.Mills,theofficesofirrigationassociations,and VERMONT has decided to give up its prohibition law. In a special election held last week the advocates of local option carried the state, and after more than half a century of prohibition the voters in the cities and towns of Vermont will after March 1 be permitted to decide whether or not intoxicating liquors shall be sold in those communities. The total vote was 30,671 in favor of license and 29,068 opposed, a majority of 1623 for local option. It is a coincidence that Vermont voted for prohibition in 1853 by 1500 majority. The reason for this action seems to be that the people have decided that it is not feasible to enforce a prohibitory law in large cities, and that it is therefore better for each community to settle the question of license or no license for itself. THOMAS J. NAVIN of Detroit, who served a term in the State prison at Jackson from March, 1885, to December, 1900, for forgery, has been appointed by Governor Bliss of Michigan to be a member of the Jackson Prison Board, and the appointment was confirmed in the State Senate by a vote of 16 to 12. When he was pardoned at the expiration of the term of years for which he was sentenced, Navin went to Detroit and began the practice of law. He was mayor of Adrian, Mich., when he got into trouble and on going to Detroit he again went into politics, serving recently for a time as chairman of the Republican positories, having an average deposit of $831.24. In the 52 interior savings banks $53,728,277 is deposited. These sixty-one banks of the State of California aggregate the grand total of $198,012,512, distributed among 284,952 depositors with the unparalleled average of $694.89 per depositor. HUMOR OF THE HOUR. "Say!" called out the man who entered the doctor's office. "Are ye de bloke wot takes out uniform apprentices er somethin like dat?" "I have removed the vermiform ap pendix several times with great success," answered the physician. "Ever take a guy's stomach out an sew him up again?" "No. I never tried that operation, though I have a patient in training now en whom I shall make the experiment as soon as he is strong enough to make his will." "Didjuever out a man's leg off?" "Certainly. What can I do for you?" "Say! I'm Asphalt Tim, de Hoboken Tarrier. I'm matched for a 20 round bout wid Bat Eared Mike, de Camden Catamount. He will make a gofer my solar plexus. I want to fool him a trip. Wot'll ye take to cut out de plexus, solar an all? Den ye bets all yer booole on me an ye will have money to lead a double life. What sofy?"—W. B. Holland in New York Journal. He Was Alone. One night after the curtain was rung up at a certain English theater where the "Standing Room Only" was not needed a small boy was discovered sobbing in front of the box office. The manager of the theater went to the lad and kindly asked him what the trouble was. "I want my money back!" sobbed the boy. In surprise the manager asked his reason for such a request. "Because I'm afraid to sit up in the gallery all alone!" he wailed. His money was returned.—Argonaut. "The sum of $60,000 is appropriated, provided one-half of the appropriation shall be available in the fifty-first fiscal year, and the remaining one-half of said appropriation shall be available in the fifty-sixth fiscal year. "It is made the duty of the surveyor general and of the engineer of the board of public works to render any assistance desired by the state board of examiners in furtherance of the aims of this act. This act shall take effect and be in force on and after July 1903." W. E. Smythe, W. H. Mills, the officers of the irrigation associations, and others interested have read the bill and approve of it. It is to be regretted that the appropriation is so small, but it will suffice to commence a work on inestimable value to the state. Better Than Gold "I was troubled for several years with chronic indigestion and nervous debility," writes F. J. Green of Lanscaster, N.H. "No remedy helped me until I began using Electric Bitter which did me more good than all the medicines I ever used. They have also kept my wife in excellent health for years. She says Electric Bitter are just splendid for female troubles; they are a grand tonic and invigorate for weak, run down women. No other medicine can take its place in our family." Try them.

Stripped of overbiage, the act reads as UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA The American representative of the Rhodes Scholarship trust, Principal George R. Parkin, who is to work out the method of selection of the American Cecil Rhodes scholars at Oxford, will visit the university early in March. He will call a conference of representatives of universities and colleges in California, Nevada and Arizona, at which will be discussed elegibility, means of choice, and the age and college standing at which the American Rhodesians should be selected. Paul Monroe, professor of the History of Education in Columbia university, will come from New York next June to lecture in the summer session of the university on the history of the theory of education during modern times. He will present the essential features of the educational thought of the past as a basis for the more detailed study of the principles of education as formulated today. A rich mass of Navajo manuscripts, the linguistic and ethnological material accumulated during a lifetime of study by the well-known ethnologist Dr. Washington Matthews of Washington are to become the property of the University of California as a gift from Mrs. Hearst. For the next fourteen months Dr. Matthews will devote his whole time to the preparation for printing, as a part of the Anthropological publications of the University of California, his data in regard to the language, life and custom of the Navajos. Through the generosity of D. O.

Parties to whom the deed is made out are known as the California Iron and Investment company, and the property is obtained from James Irvine, owner of the San Joaquin ranch, who is also supposed to be financially interested. According to provisions of the instrument, the smelter is to be completed by December 31 of the present year. A total outlay of $50,000 will, it is estimated, be put into the brick building and expensive machinery necessary in the business. The ore used will be from Lower California principally, and will be iron ore, iron and steel being the two products of the plant. Application has already been made to the Southern Pacific company to extend a spur of their Newport Beach line along the bluff to the smelter, and the railroad will undoubtedly act favorably upon the application. The men behind the project have the necessary ability and experience to carry it to a successful completion, and with the passing of papers for the provisional transfer of the land, the smelter may be considered an assured fact.

Escaped an Awful Fate Mr. H. Haggins of Melbourne, Fla., writes: "My doctor told me I had consumption and nothing could be done for me. I was given up to die. The offer of a free trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption induced me to try it. Results were starting. I am now on the road to recovery and owe all to Dr. King's New Discovery.

HE MAY COME HERE A gay and festive fakir is working the good people of Pasadena with an old-time fake. He gives away a set of unbound books and takes orders for binding at an exorbitant price. The scheme is within the pale of the law, and there are always plenty of suckers, so he is doing a thriving business—Santa Ana Herald. He has been here—or one of his ilk—but with what success we do not know. We do know, however, that some of our business men, and we doubt not there were others, gave him the glassy stare. "He claims to have invented a camera that makes people prettier than they are." "How is that?" "By simply making the lens flatter."

The fish was found sunning himself about five miles off shore by Harry Guthrie, who was gathering up his fishing paraphernalia preparatory to coming in from work. Guthrie threw his gaff into him, and it required a long time for three boats of fishermen to bring the fish ashore, with the aid of the breakers, beached him. 'Only one instance of a larger fish captured on the coast is known, and that was at Santa Monica a few years ago. The captors at Newport Beach endeavored to drive a bargain with Los Angeles speculators on the monster fish for exhibit, but could not agree on terms. The fish will probably be sent to sea tomorrow if nobody wants him for show purposes. 'The monster at a late hour on Saturday still showed signs of life, although he is deeply cut and has been out of the water over twelve hours. It is claimed by old fishermen that these fish will live forty-eight hours out of water.'" Cured Consumption Mrs. B. W. Evans, Clearwater, Kan., writes: "My husband lay sick for three months; the doctors stated he had quick consumption. We procured a bottle of Ballard's Horehound Syrup and it cured him. That was six years ago, and since that we always keep a bottle in the house. We cannot do without it. For coughs and colds it has no equal" 25 cent, 50 cent and $1 bottles at J. P. Hatzfeld's. NO SALE WAS MADE A dealer in pet birds was visited by a customer who stuttered and wanted to buy a parrot which took his fancy. The salesman was an Irishman who had just been employed by the dealer. The customer said, "Du-du does that parrot ta-ta-talk good?" Well," replied the Irish salesman, "I did not talk better than you I would wring his neck off." Salt pork is a famous old-fashioned remedy for consumption. "Eat plenty of pork," was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 100 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most. Scott's Emulsionist modern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is something about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophosphites in Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs.
