Senator Tabor and the Drummer.


Kansas City Tines
They tell new story now on Senator
Tabor Of Colorado. Ii is related that
when Tabor was on the Kansas Pacific
train going to Washington to take his
seat, he met q Hebrew drummer who
had known him some time by reputa-
ton. To pass the time they engaged
in game Of euchre. The play was
even until the close of the second game,
when the drummer received four kings
and an eight-spot. A queen was turned
up.
"Great Cod" said the drummer.
"Mr. Dabor, | visht it vas boxer. Ii
We vas blayin' boxer wood bet you my
whole bundle"
'How much is your bundles" asked
the noble Senator from Colorado.

picked up the queen.

laeonically.

mer, and he made his bet good for $500.
What hat you got Meester Dabor,"
-Four aces" answered Colorado's
favorita son, showing the fatal one spot.
The drummer was perfectly paralyzed
and was unable to speak, while the
noble Senator slowed the pot in his
toys. Slowly drawing cigar from his
pocket. Colorado's favorite was about
to light up and Withdraw, when the
drummer recovered his use of speech.
Leaning forward, he said: "Eet ish all

but as every one knew that the bigger

Where 1t Game From What 1t Did
And Whittier 1t Went.

On Thursday afternoon the clouds on
the mountains looked scared and rough.
The north wind from the Mojave desert
met them on the north and northeast,
while a great norther that had escaped
down the low passage about Newhsll
rushing towards the sea, encountered
the ocean trade.wind and circled round,
striking this part of the country from
the west and southwest with great vio-
lenco. The clouds which had COM
mcnced gentle rain, were hurled
against the mountains, and being unable
to pass over, let fall about a quarter Of
an inch of rain at the base of the noun
tains.
In the city the wind howled fitfully
for about three hours, recording at one
time As miles an hour, the highest rate
ever recorded in Los Angeles. At Santa
Monica the waves were lashed into q
yeasty foam; the great iron buoys we're
torn from their moorings and hurled upon
the shore; small, unoccupied board
house was scattered abroad; the wild
geese sat in great droves in La Ballona,
refusing to rise and battle against the
tempest. Huntsmen could have had
their own way in gathering the feathery
tribes. The heaviest part of the gale
appeared to pass below the city, between
Compton and Vernon, where trees were
uprooted, and much unpleasantness Gre
ated. Mr.. James Cassidy, who lives near
the Green Meadows school house, had
barn 35x65 feet demolished, but saved
himself and pair of colts from harm.
A neighbor, Mr.. Trusler, had barn,
35x40 feet. torn down; Mr.. Wilson, near
by, had a barn demolished also, while
the willows, eucalyptus trees and wind
mills Jared badly by losing their perpen-
dicular position.
The oldest inhabitant has no recollec-
ton of any wind SO severe as that. In
the city canvas awnings were shattered,
and workmen on high buildings came
down from their scaffolds in fear of &C.
cidents. Fortunately tie signs that
used to hang across the sidewalks had
all been removed, so there were no fatal
accidents to record from that source.
In the San Joaquin valley rain fell at
Visalia and all along the S. P. R. R. to
the mountains, where snow fell thick and
fast, and was whirled and dashed around
with binding force. The overland ex-
press, Capt Jerry Long, came through
the furious storm with two powerful
locomotives that struggled through the
drifted cuts where the snow was packed
ten feet in depth. At the Summit Capt. !
Long waded through snow waist deep to
attend to his official duties. 1t required |
the full power of both engines to force a |
passage through the drifts, that delayed |
the train two hours in coming from
Caliente to Mojave. The snow extended |
nearly down to Newhall, and great |
masses of the drifts became loaded on |
the engines and cars and came into the |
city, where it made the boys happy with
balling material under the summer
sunshine, amid the flowers and fruits
of our fair and happy land on yester. |

Tourists.

The long travel over the plains and
the poor facilities for getting good meals
makes II necessary that good lunch be
provided for. This can BIO best accom-
plished by visiting the grocery store Of
H. Jevne, 40 Spring street, the only
place in Los Angeles where can be found
a line of goods such as are kept by the
bon.ton stores in large Eastern cities.

According to writer in Mature the
small migratory birds that are unable to
perform the flight of thirty-fve miles
across the Mediterranean sea, are car
ried across on the backs Of cranes. In
autumn many focks OF cranes may be
seen coming from the north, with the
first cold blast from that quarter flying
low and uttering peculiar cry, as II Of
alarm. as they circle over the cultivated
plains. Little birds of every species
may be seen flying up to them, while
the twittering songs of those already
comfortably settled upon their backs
may be distinctly heard. But for this
kind provision OF nature, numerous va
rieties of small birds would become ex-
tiuct in northern countries, as the cold
winter would kill them.

EDITOR HERALD: In order to insure
a fair degree of personal comfort to the
passengers of this mornings Col
ton accommodation train, crippled
car, which had been thrown out of a
freight train, was considerably coupled
into the accommodation train. Before
the train had reached speed of five
miles per hour, the broken axle parted
and the result was, about a rod of track
torn up and the car reduced to match
wood. Had the train been under full
speed, the result would have been
disastrous. 1t does seem singular
that car which is unfit for freight
train should be coupled with passenger
coaches. PASSENGER.

A Texas Bravo.

John A. Owen, who has been So
journer in Los Angeles for about three
weeks, was up before Justice Ling yes
terday on two charges disturbing the
peace and indecent exposure. On being
taken Into Court he struck a bravado
attitude and announced.
"My name IL Dummy,
I've come for money,
And I'm s-n Of a b. from Texas"
Notwithstanding this terror inspiring
announcement. he was duly arraigned,
and, after a full investigation Of the
charges, lie was convicted on both. On
the first he was sentenced 10 pay fine
of SIS or fifteen days in the chain gang,
and on the secon fine Of SIPS, or one
hundred and twenty-five days in the
chain gang. 1t appears that since his
advent in our quiet and peaceable city,
the redoubtable John has, on a number
Of occasions. INDUCED in the most in
decent acts and language in saloons and
other public places, often insulting
ladies and children on the street. 1t is
to be hoped that the commendable action
of Justice Ling in furnishing him in this
exemplary manner, will not only have a
good effect on Owen, but will have a
restraining influence on other black
guards whose instincts might lead them
to- follow his example.

The exercises commenced with dis.
cussion on written ardoral examination.
Mr.. Quinn being appointed to introduce
the subject, he said among other things,
that questions should be so framed as to
require thought and not simply an exer-
else of the memory. : Very few questions
are good in this respect and there Is a
remarkable want of thought even in
questions coming from high sources and
printed for the benefit Of schools through.
out the country. Examinations should
not be held too frequently as they in
voive great deal OF labor and are wear
ing upon both teacher and pupil. Two
or three written examinations in the
course Of the year are probably sufficient.
The Institute then took up the sub
ject OF Reference Books for Teachers, ="
and many works were recommended by
Mr.. Lyser and by members Of the Insti-
tute, including the following: In U. S.
