PRACTICAL JOKE ON SIMPSON Hospital Nurse Slips One Over Local Celebrity When Bert Simpson left the elevator at a Los Angeles hospital where his wife has been a patient for a fortnight past, he was met by the nurse who informed him with ill-concealed semblance of alarm that she had bad news for him. "Is my wife worse?" he asked as his face blanched at her words. "She is not worse, but there is bad news for you just the same," she replied. Feeling that all was not right, as the door of the patient's room, which is always open, was closed, he entered on the double quick, when he was staggered to see his wife seated at a window holding a four-days-old babe in her arms. The newcomer had arrived at the hospital some days before, and Mrs. Anaheim will be there. Highschool Track Team Preparing for County Meet In a well though somewhat onesided track and field meet Anaheim defeated Fullerton high school on local field on Saturday afternoon. At the end of the day the score stood 85-37 in Anaheim's favor. Good records were made, considering the fact that neither team has been in training more than one week. That Anaheim will have an excellent team is assured and while it is still early yet it is safe to state that Anaheim will be there when the county meet comes off at Santa Ana on Saturday, March 9th. In a practice game at Orange on Monday evening the Anaheim H. S. girls met defeat by the score of 15-22. The Orange H.S. girls are champions of the county and Anaheim's showing is most commendable. Watch for Anaheim next year. Plans are rapidly going forward for the Turner art exhibit to be given at the high school by the parent-teacher's association. This exhibit will afford Anaheim people an opportunity to see and enjoy the best exhibit of modern and ancient artists that has ever been shown to the American public. The Horace K. Turner art exhibit is without an equal, for both school and home and cannot be passed by lightly by people of Anaheim. Paul De Longpre, our California artist, said, "I consider it not only a treat to be permitted to visit the Horace K. Turner exhibit showing in my city, but am sure it is a rare op- "She is not worse, but there is bad news for you just the same," she replied. Feeling that all was not right, as the door of the patient's room, which is always open, was closed, he entered on the double quick, when he was staggered to see his wife seated at a window holding a four-days-old babe in her arms. The newcomer had arrived at the hospital some days before, and Mrs. Simpson, who is very fond of little children, asked that it be brought into her room that she might hold it in her arms. "The next time you do anything like this," said Bert to the nurse, "I'll take you over my knee and show you what's coming to you." There was a good laugh all round at Simpson's expense. "That nurse sure did have me going for a minute," he said in relating the incident. Simpson is a practical joker from away back, but this time had one slipped over him. STANTON INCORPORATION UP-HELD Attorney General Denies Application for Quo Warranto City Attorney Ames has received an official communication from Attorney General Webb in which application for a writ of quo warranto attacking validity of incorporation of Stanton is denied. Webb reviews papers submitted in the case, and decides in favor of the legality of proceedings. Residents of the town of Stanton employed Attorney Ames and Judge John D. Pope of Los Angeles to bring an action testing validity of the incorporation. It was held that an error in the date given in the original published call for the supervisors' meeting, at which petition for incorporation was taken up, and failure of the supervisors to meet upon the day finally designated, invalidated proceedings. Webb holds the proceedings were regular, having before him affidavits from T. B. Talbert, chairman of the board of supervisors, and County Clerk Williams, supporting this contention. Attorney Ames criticizes the attorney for incorporating in that copies of these two affidavits were not submitted to him so that he might have opportunity of filing counter affidavits. He declares this action on the part of the attorney referred to people an opportunity to see and enjoy the best exhibit of modern and ancient artists that has ever been shown to the American public. The Horace K. Turner art exhibit is without an equal, for both school and home and cannot be passed by lightly by people of Anaheim. Paul De Longpre, our California artist, said, "I consider it not only a treat to be permitted to visit the Horace K. Turner exhibit showing in my city, but am sure it is a rare opportunity I have enjoyed and believe it the best of its kind ever shown in America." NOTES FROM OIL FIELDS Syndicate of Capitalists Looking Over New Ground That the new oil field which has just been opened up near Fullerton has created a great deal of interest among oil men is shown by a party of six capitalists who have been spending the last three or four days in that city. They will give nothing out about their intentions, but they have spent all of their time in looking over the field, and it is safe to say that it is their plan to form a new company to begin operations. The last three wells which have been put down by the Amalgamated Oil Co. in the first range of hills has created interest in the oil world. The Amalgamated not only has the three producing wells, but has two others which are in oil sand and they are expected expected to be producers soon. Besides the Amalgamated the Union will have twelve wells down inside of six months. By the terms of their lease they must put down twenty every year until 100 have been sunk. The Industrial Oil Co., in adjoining territory, is also putting down twelve wells in this new section. This party of capitalists are staying in the vicinity and it is certain that they are planning a new company to drill in this new field. COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION Latitude Granted Schools in Three Districts The county board of education has passed a resolution allowing the teachers of the Yorba, Peralta and San Juan Capistrano schools more latitude in the teaching of the children of those schools. Hitherto the teachers have found it difficult to stick to the county schedule, owing to many of them being illiterate. EUCHRE PARK Mrs. Bennerscheidt tainted the ladies eure Thursday afternoon.

Me partner cups an' I want to THE PUNISHMENT COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION Latitude Granted Schools in Three Districts The county board of education has passed a resolution allowing the teachers of the Yorba, Peralta and San Juan Capistrano schools more latitude in the teaching of the children of those schools. Hitherto the teachers have found it difficult to stick to the county schedule, owing to the fact that many of the pupils have a superficial knowledge of the English language. Supt. Mitchell has made the recommendation that the latitude be given. Two teachers of the county were recommended to the state board for life certificates. One was Rollin A. Marsden in manual training. He taught in Wisconsin three years and at Fullerton, where he now is in the high school, for three years. The other was Miss Flora Hollway, for the last three years at Loara school. She taught two years in Iowa and two in Washington. She is recommended for a grammar life certificate.

WALLOP Telephones Main 157, Home 1381 EUCHRE PARTY Mrs. Bennerscheidt delightfully entertained the ladies euchre club on Thursday afternoon. Refreshments of tamales, olives and crackers, coffee and cake were served during the afternoon. At the game of euchre The Long Dry Spell GHOSTLY BUTTERFLIES: A Species In British Guiana Whose Wings Are Transparent. In "Our Search For a Wilderness" Mr. William Beebe of the New York zoological park describes his first sight of the transparent butterfly—Hoetera plera—of British Guiana, an insect through whose outstretched wings any substance on which it rests can be clearly seen. As we crossed a swirling creek on the trunk of a mighty fallen tree something fluttered ahead. We could not see what it was. Closer we came, and still the object remained indistinct. We seemed to see a butterfly, and yet that appeared impossible. At last we marked it down on a fern frond and crept up until our eyes were within two feet of it. Nothing was visible but the graceful lacework of the frond until a slanting beam of sunlight struck it, and there, close before us, was the ghost of a butterfly. It spread fully three inches, but was wholly transparent, save for three tiny spots of azure near the margin of each hind wing. As we looked it drifted to a double headed flower of scarlet, and when it alighted the scarlet of the flower and the green of the leaf were as distinct as if seen through thin mica, and the faint gray haze of the insect's wings was marked only by the indistinct venation. The appearance of this ghostly butterfly amid the silence and awe inspiring stillness of the reeking jungle was most impressive. BIG BELLS. Canton Has One Eighteen Feet High and Forty-five Feet In Circumference. Some of the old world bells are heavy indeed, "Great Paul" of St. EUCHRE PARTY Mrs. Bennerscheidt delightfully entertained the ladies euchre club on Thursday afternoon. Refreshments of tamales, olives and crackers, coffee and cake were served during the afternoon. At the game of euchre the first prize, a fancy veil pin, was won by Mrs. Dwyer; the second, also a veil pin, by Miss Emma Backs, and the consolation, a pin cushion, by Mrs. Grim. Mrs. Zeus will entertain the club at the next meeting. OLINDA The homes of A. C. Gale and E. J. Murphy were destroyed by fire Sunday last, the fire starting from a defective flue, it is thought, in the Gale residence. The neighbors at the oil wells made a heroic fight to save the Murphy home but were unable to do so. Claude Devard, Frank McBride and Ray Edmunds were painfully burned. But for deficiency of water pressure it is probable that the volunteer fire brigade that hastily formed would have been successful in its work. ASKS FOR LETTERS W. S. Tipton of this city has petitioned for letters of administration on the estate of A. B. Cowan, who died on November 23, in Askaloosa, Kan. His estate in this county consists of $860 in a local bank. Tipton & Callor are attorneys in the case, representing heirs here. IMPORTANCE OF BEING CORRECT The Sunday school teacher was telling her class about the wicked children mocking the good prophet, and how two she bears came out of the mountains and "ate up" over 40 of the wicked children. "Now boys", she continued, "what lesson does this teach us?" "I know," said one youngster; "it teaches us how many children a she-bear can hold." Lady, said Meandering Mike, would you lend me a cake of soap? Do you mean to tell me you want soap—soap? Yes'm. Me partner's got de hiccups an' I want to scare him.

Canton Has One Eighteen Feet High and Forty-five Feet In Circumference. Some of the old world bells are heavy indeed. "Great Paul" of St. Paul's cathedral, in London, weighs nearly seventeen tons and is nearly thirty feet around. The first "Big Ben" of Westminster was cast more than fifty years ago and weighed about fourteen tons and was about twenty-eight feet around. But "Big Ben" had a crack and was made over, losing some weight, and the clapper was made smaller, being now 600 pounds instead of about a ton. "Peter of York" cost $10,000, weight twelve and one-half tons; twenty-two feet in diameter or thereabouts. The largest hanging bell in the world is said to be that in the great Buddhist monastery near Canton. It is eighteen feet in height and forty-five feet in circumference, being cast of solid bronze. This is one of eight monster bells that were cast by command of the Emperor Yung Lo about A.D. 1400. It is said to have cost the lives of eight men, who were killed in the process of casting. The whole bell on both sides is covered with an inscription in embossed Chinese characters about half an inch in length, covering even the top piece from which it swings, the total number being 84,000. These characters tell a single story, one of the Chinese classics. Trees In Oranges. The Mundus, a weekly published in Rome in five languages, states that one of the methods adopted by the Japanese to produce their curious dwarf trees is as follows: The pulp of an orange is removed through a small hole and the skin filled with a mixture of wool, charcoal and rich earth, with one seed toward the opening in the skin. The orange is put in a glass and watered by the hole, and every now and then a little wood ash is added. The plant shoots through the opening, and the roots pierce the skin. As soon as they do so they are cut off. After two or three years of this treatment the plant will be only a few inches high, but will have the aspect of an old forest tree. An Old Friend.
