PAINTING HORSES.
An Art Which yields a Large Profit.


Stockton NALL
A good story is told of San Joaquin
farmer who bought horse at an auc-
ton on Hunter street square a short
time ago. After working the animal for
awhile he was astonished at the famil-
iarity which the beast displayed with
the ins and outs OF the ranch, and with
certain tricks, such as lying down in the
road and resting when his owner
was most in hurry. As thu horses
hair began to grow out, the farmer
noticed that the new growth was Of
different color, and he realized that he
had paid good price for horse which
he had sold cheap but few months be.
fore, buying him back again with q
painted coat. Some skillful hostler had
changed the color of the animal by
means of acids, and had succeeded in
selling him to his former owner.
An expressman named Anderson, who
is engaged in carrying goods between
San Francisco and Oakland, owned q
fine looking jet-black horse which took
sick on his hands and became useless.
A veterinary surgeon who was treating
the animal offered the owner $50 for the
animal. and the offer was accepted.
The purchaser cured the horse, painted
white star on his forehead and white
ring on its nose, and sold it to the un-
suspecting owner as new horse for
$40. After while the animal took
sick again, and was sold to the surgeon
for $50, was reprinted and again sold to
Anderson for Sl25. When the latter
found out the trick which had been
played upon him he laugoed heartily,
and said he could not "kick' consider
ing that he was fool enough not to know
his own horse again.
A man named Kelly, residing ip this
city, some time ago bought dog in
San Francisco at very low figure. He
brought the animal to Stockton. painted
it in good style and sold it to the owner
again for good price. When it comes
to horse trading, San joaquin county
people arc experts.

Magnetism the New Source OF
Health.


DR.. Edwin Robbins, the celebrated
Australian Electric and Magnetic Hea'
Ter, respectfully informs the public thai
he has opened an Office in the city Of
Los Angeles. DR.. Robbins discards the
use of surgery, drugs, minerals and all
other medicines in his treatment and re-
lies solely on the powers of magnetism,
An experience of several years in the
Australian colonies, San Francisco, Salt
Lake City and Denver, in which places
he has treated successfully thousands Of
persons, enables him to assert with con-
tdence that he can cure diseases which
have defed the application of medical
science. Magnetism Is the life principle
within us. The air we breathe is
charged with it. 1t is tho vital force
emanating from all persons and that
which connects the soul with the body,
In support Of this theory he cures acute
pains Instantly, local pains in few
days, and builds up the most shattered
constitutions in short time. DR.. Rob
bins. who has a worldwide reputation
for his extraordinary cures of all diff.
cult and complicated diseases, possesses
power to relieve and cure all kinds OF
diseases. DR.. Robbins diagnoses dis.
eases free of charge without explanation

One on the the Barkksssspers.

washington Sruic.l
A few evenings ago while half a-dozen
gentlemen were standing al the bar of
one of the most fashionable uptown
saloons well.dressed, good-looking
stranger entered the room and walked
straight to the bar and addressed the
barkeeper in language like the follow
ing:
stranger, am in a very, very bad
condition. l want drink; must have
drink, but am compelled to make the
humiliating statement that 1 am unable
at present to pay for it. If you will be
kind enough to favor me in my extrem-
ity, you shall be paid, sir. .
"We don't keep whisky to give away
here" was the blunt reply Of the bar
keeper. The stranger begged, but the
barkeeper was memorable and even
rude. The mild hammered stranger
turned to the gentlemen who had been
witnesses to the conversation, and said:
Gentlemen, you are all strangers to
me, but would one of you be kind
enough to loan me the price of a drink,
l will pay it back.
One of tho party addressed handed
the stranger Is cents.
He stepped to the bar and said, 'Now,
can l have drink
Eyes" said tho bnrkeeper, anybody
can get drink for the money here"
II thought so. said the stranger. !
The bottle Of "red hcker' was placed
on the bar; the stranger filed his glass
liberally.
ga little bitters in there, il you
please" said the stranger. Then, when
the bitters were furnished, he asked for
large glass Of water, which was also
set up. The stranger drank his beverage
and then turned to the man who had
loaned him the money, and said;
stranger, make it point of honor
to pay borrowed money before pay
whiskey bills; here is your Is cents; /
am greatly obliged for the loan;" and so
saying he walked out. The dazed bar
keeper, seeing that he was sold, and that
the laugh WIS on him. ran to the door
and called to the stranger to come back.
The stranger promptly returned and
inquired: "'What do you want," The
barkeeper replied: sfhat was cute
trick you played, and own up that
You caught me. The drinks are on me.
What will you take 7" Excuse me,
sir, " replied the stranger, II drink only
with gentlemen; cannot drink with
you," and the mysterious stranger
walked away, leaving the barkeeper to
wonder whether it would not have been
better to give stranger one drink than
TO be caught by trick and have to ''set
them up'' to whole crowd.

est locomotive engineers running into

An Undiscovered Sense.


tDtetou 1iUucl
In certain printing Office in this city
there is . compositor who is deaf and
dumb. In the same printing Office there
are two other connpositors who are en-
dowed with the power of evolving tre-
mendous sneezes when the spirit tickles
their noses. One of them is q little,
short, chubby fellow, with a round red
face. The grandeur of his sneeze is so
utterly disproportionate to the dimin-
utive size of his body that his fellow
printers refer to it as "a wrong-font
sneeze." The other is q tall, raw-boned
Yankee who sneezes in the
good old down-east fashion. Neither of
the two compositors who sneeze works
in the same alley with the compositor
who is deaf and dumb, and the cases be-
tween them are so arranged that he can
MOI see either of them. Nevertheless,
when either Of them sneezes he always
jumps as though a cannon-ball were
fred into his ear. OF course he can not
hear the noise. The question for the
scientists is; How does he know when
to jump

In seasons Of drought II is well to
know that water is not only being sought
for but developed from the depths Of
mother earth. A dry year once changed
this from cattle county to one of farms.
Another change is being enacted in the
grain farms, giving place to fruit culture
on irrigated lands. Every acre of land
on which water is placed sufficient for
irrigation, is raised in value at least FIVE
fold. The Pomona Land and Water
Company are working steadily three sets
Of artesian well.boring tools. They
have just struck flow Of water Of
three and one-quarter inches above the
seven-inch pipe before the pipe is
perforated. This represents an abuud.
