south as far as the track goes on that street.
The Company promises to remove its
line from San Pedro street and to remove
the lumber yards to point in the vicin-

grade Alameda street, between Pine

third route, also fifty feet wide, is offered

AMUSEMENTS.

Hallcn and Hart I'm Their New
Play slater On.''
Hallen and Hart with their company
of artists re-appeared at the Grand Opera
House last night in their new variety
melange entitled Later On. The play is
a decided improvement on the former
potpouri of year ago. Miss George
Parker who quite divided the honora
with Roland Reed when she appeared
with him here in the Clutch girl busi-
ness" is in the leading role for the ladies
in Later On" She "caught on" with
the audience last night again to per-
fection. The other girls in the play are
very presentable both in appearance
and as artists. Mr.. Bernard Dyllyn is
the one member of the company who
has fine voice. His singing was greatly
enjoyed. The role of "Sherif Clutch''
gives Mr.. John T. Kelly fine oppor-
tunity to do some clever Irish business.
And the two stars, especially where they
appear in the grossly bur]esque roles of
Sprigs of English nobility, do a good
deal of clever acting. They ought to be
called Sackville West and "Murc hison. "
Phe play runs all the week.

Four wild shots.

At l o'clock last night shooting
scrape took place on Commercial street,
between Union and Los Angeles, which
fortunately terminated in no injury to
any one. For some reason the witnesses
would not make known the design of the
row. Fred McCann, a hash-slinger in
Duggan's restaurant, said he knew
something about it, but would
not tell it now. From others standing
by it was learned that the man who fired
the shots was talking to another in front
pute one struck the other. This one,
who is Mexican, named F. G. Montijo,
residing on Macy street pulled q
gun and fred at his assailant
who ran away and escaped. Hearing
the shot, Officer ]. E. Duignan ran to the
spot and pinioned Monitijo, drawing his
arms back. In his right hand was the
pistol which was discharged, th55 ball
passing through the overcoat and
undercoat of Duignan. The officer
then threw Montijo to the ground and
then two more shots were fred. The
Mexican was drunk and probably did not
intend to discharge his pistol, after the
first time. One Of the stray balls grazed
Louis Stone, the special officers leg, and
set him dancing. Another grazed the
wrist of McCann, which may account for
his silence. He may have been too
frightened to recover his voice for a
week.
Montijo was taken to the station and
locked up. He was followed by several
of his compatriots, who wished to bail
him out. Montijo seemed to be wanted
for use at the polls to-day.

SAN Pedro Democrats.

A rousing Democratic rally was helG
last night at San Pedro. The Repub
licans paraded, but despite this fact the
crowd around the Democratic stand was
twice aa large as that about the Repub.
lican platform. Mr.. j. HI. Dodsen, the
Chairman, called the meeting to order
and after brief speech introduced
Major Arbuckle, who for two hours en-.
tertained the audience, and judging from
the enthusiasm that prevailed the Dem
ocratic ticket will have large majority
in this precinct. 1t was fitting close to
to the campaign, and the meeting ad.
journed with three cheers for the ticket
which were given with good will.

From the Denver Republican,
/ The damp weather did not have the

school directors was being held. 1t was
remarkable to note that Il great percent
age of these pedestrians were women
who turned out in large numbers 10
avail themselves OF lo privilege of east
ing the ballot f. school directors.
These brave ladies exhibited great
deal of courage and enthusiasm.
1t was observed that they got about
quite as easily as the men, petticoats
and all. which easy style of locomotion
may have been perhaps the direct result
of their intense enthusiasm.
Tho women who felt that they had a
voice in educational affairs were impcr-
viOus to wind and weather. In some
cases they were accompanied by Their
husbands, but oftencr they were seen
alone in little groups. At the polls they
were received with great courtesy. They
showed themselves to be intelligent vo-
ters ami thorough ladies'.

pearancc of the ladies'" asked n reporter

from his usual rule when he answered
that question.

even loyable. At our voting place III
West Denver there were seen many of
the representative ladies of the West
Side and South Broadway. 1t was an
intelligent body and one that did us
honor
In East Denver the ladies turned out
with pronounced enthusiasm. They
added their mite to the defeat of Joe
Williams, which was overwhelming.
This done they felt that they had ac-
complished great things and retired TO
the sanctity of the home circle, the tea
table, and the baby, with that rare grace
known only to women.
At the East Denver election great ex-
element prevailed. The people were
reused to action because they were not
pleased with the idea of having Mr.. 10
scph Williams to rule over them in
school matters. They protested vigor-
ously, and Mr.. Wiiliams's hopes were
very soon numbered with the dead.
Popular opinion went strongly against

A Unique Telegraph System.

There has grown up among the farm.
crs of II county in Michigan II Telegraph
system which might be generally cx-
tended throughout the rural districts
everywhere. The system began by two
farmers connecting their houses with a
wire for Their OWN convenience and on
Grating their line with the ordinary
Morse Instruments. Gradually other
farmers extended the line to their own
houses, and after time the wire was
run into the neighhoring village. Seven
years ago the combined farmers and a
few village merchants organized them
selves into a company and it has since
been extended until now it has sixty-tiye
miles of wire and ninety offices, two
thirds of the latter being in farm-houscs
and ncarl Y all the rest in stores where
these farmers do th, trading. One or
two newspaper oil -. rs many more
railroad freight Offices, the County Tel
ephone Exchange and the larger post
Offices are all connec.ed. Every farmer
is his own operator, battery man and
line repaircr. OF, course, any quantity
of private communication is kept up be-
tween the stockholders of this indapend-
ent system. There are two or three indie.
pendent systems of these lines in opera
ton in the country, arranged so that
they can be connected with each other
nj lntersccting points, and tie whole
scheme Is being worked very cheaplv

RICHARD MALCOLM JOHNSTON.
The Interesting History of a Liter
airy Georgia Man,
From the June Centurv.1

From the June Century1
AT the second of the recent authors
readings in Washington in aid of the
cause of international copyright, DIR
Edward Eggleston, introducing one OF
the readers, said:
"a few years ago there began to APP
pear in the magazines stories in dialect
by an unknown writer. These were SC
full of quaint humOr and individuality
as to mark the arrival of a new man in
our literature. / thought | saw here
the hand of vigorous young man, des-
tined to make a name in our literature,
and to push us old fellows off the hoard,
when once he should have reached his
maturity. 1 now have the pleasure of
introducing to you that promising
young man, Colonel r. NJ. Johnston. -
Richard Malcolm Johnston was born
in Hancock County, Georgia, March 8,
1922. His grandfather was the son of an
Episcopal clergyman, and Virginian,
OF Charlotte County, who emigrated to
Georgia when it was comparatively new
ground. On the side of his mother, VINO
was Catharine Davenport of the same
county, his ancestors were also Virgini-
ans.
His father was large planter, for that
part of the country. He began with a
farm of 500 acres, which, by gradual
purchase, he increased to $500. The
early years of the boy were spent upon
this farm; and here he received the i'm
pressiOns which have determined his
tastes for life.
This region, called middle Georgia,
was strip of country about 100 miles
long, from east to west, and 60 broad,
with the city of Augusta as it's metrop-
oils. When settled it was mere oasis
in the midst of desert of barbarism
The country round about was either I'M
inhabited or occupied by the Indian
tribes, which were forced back on all
sides as the settled region gradually
and slowly enlarged its borders. The
life Here was almost as circumscribed
rs it would have been in desert island.
These conditions may account in part
for its rugged independence and charm
ing prOvincialism.
A society settled and clarified, the
classes naturally separated. Since no
violence had marked this separation,

\ Lesson.

Two young men and two young ladies'
attended the theatre together in St.
Louis few evenings ago. At the end
of the first act the young men rose and
crowded their way out of the row in
winch they sat and disappeared i'll the
rcfreshment room. Their lady friends
We're displeased by the manTuvre, and
one of them proposed that they should
also leave and go home The other
thought it better to give the young men
another chance. Tho Glove eaters re-
turned, pushed their way back to their
seats, and the play went on, but the
young ladies showed less interest i'll their
attentions. When the curtain rang
down on the second act the young men
again went ont for more breath. The
young ladies quickly left the theatre,
took cab and went home. The young
men on discovering the empty seats,
flushed i'll the face and straightway took
their departure. It was good lesson
for them.

The Man Under the Bed.

The man under the bed seems to OK
ercis, an irresistible fascination upon
the feminine mind. This fascination I'm.
doubtedly may be accounted for largely
upon traditional and hereditary grounds.
Scientists tell us that persistent personal
habits tend to reproduce themselves
from generation to generation.
Then, again, women will continue 10
look under the bed as long as the world
lasts, L suppose, from sheer ingrained
curiosity. Who was it that said, "Life
would not be worth living for a woman
were it not for the constant possibility
of finding out some secret" At all
events, this is plainly the reason why
women hide the pockets in their dresses;
why they organize sewing circles; why
they yearn to become postmistresscs.
Curiosity becomes rs natural to woman
as singing does to cat. This looking
under the bed every night is one Of
those innocent little excitements which
brighten the dull hue of everyday life
and fringe it with romance and poetry.
What if the anticipated boots should
some time APPEAR There is excitement
III tiiup W hctD cN'u u
Woodworking society woman in a pleas

those supposititious boots, What a
dull, prosaic life most women would lead
If it was not for them
To look under the bed is woman's
ancient and prescriptive right. Occa-
sionally witicism is perpetrated which
hinges upon some wOmans having for
gotten to perform this me-honored
ceremony. But whoever sets forth or
banks upon such a witticism shows his
gross ignorance of woman nature. A
woman never forgets to look under the
bed. That is duty and n principle
which it is psychologically impossible
Tor her to omit. When rooster forgets
to crow early in the morning or a
plumber forgets to make out bill i'm the
glad sprlng-time, we will listen to the
humOrist who imagines that a

bed as prelude to peaceful slumber.
