The mountaineers in east Tennessee,
said Eli Perkins in his lecture before
DIR. Prices young ladies' college, in
Nashville, are the most kind hearted
and generous people in the world
That wild country is also the center
of civilization for bad roads and dense
ignorance Qaughter). One day l was
riding through Claiburn county, at
the foot of the Cumberland mountains
when met dear good old lady with
snuff stick in her mouth.
(Which way is the county seat p
| asked.
81 didn't know" she said, with a
look of wonderment, "tbat the county
had any seat"
"What is the population of your
county ?"
81 dunno" said the old lady chew.
ing her snuff stick, 81 reckon it's up
in Kentucky"
Whisky said an old Tennessean,
"why, it's the best drink in the world.
That's what saved Bill Fcllers' life"
But Bill Fclers is dead-died five
years ago"
That's what killed him--didn't
drink any whisky. Poor Bill, he new
er knew what killed him. How he
must have suffered !"

We heard the proprietor ring up
the telephone and call for No. 5 and
say:
"Send messenger boy up to So
and-so's bath rooms right away"
In little while the proprietor came
in and said the messenger boy was
waiting outside.
Gall right, send him in here. Say,
can you get me sheet of paper and
an envelope ?"
Certainly"
A sheet of paper and an envelope
were brought, and the boy waited
while he scribbled a short note, then
on the outside of the envelope he
wrote "Jacob Strauss" with number
on Woodward avenue.
"Now, my boy" he said in whis-
per, "are you pretty sharp young
fellow ?"
The boy grinned.
"Very well. You see this address
to Woodward avenue Now, you're
not to go there. You just take this
note to Charlie. You know the place,
and here's dollar. Tell him to put
it in an eight ounce bottle, and you
put it in your pocket and don't show
it to anyone till you get in here again.
Understand? You might just show
the address to the proprietor outside
as you go through, and ask him
whether it's up or down Woodward
avenue, you know, to give a sort of
semblance to the probability of this
thing, and if you keep mum the
change of that dollar is yours. Mum
is the word, you know. Do you tum-
BILE ?"
The boy tumbled all right enough,
and went out on his errand. In a
short time he returned and brought
in note to the bather, at the same
time slipping small bottle to the
thirsty man.
As we went out together and paid
our bills at the Office, the man said to
the proprietor:
81 like your establishment first rate
but think you are little too strict
in your temperance rule"
"My dear fellow" said the proprie-
tor. 1--WE have to do that. We can't
let any liquor get in here, you know.
Now, you must admit yourself that
you feel better for not having it, and
l should advise you not to indulge
any more. You certainly look better
than if you had had the drink you
wanted"
"Well, perhaps you are right" said
the man, as he buttoned up his over
coat and strolled away.-Luke Sharp,

ABOUT A DOG.
Mr. Clements Says He Did Net Strike
WI q. Smith.

MI q. Smith.
Mr.. A. Clements, who was arrested on
Monday on a charge of battering Mrs.
Eva Smith on account of dog, states
that the charge made against him is not
true. He says that some time since a
man named Herman Alderman brought
dog to him and offered to sell the dog
for $3.50. He said that he had paid IS
for the animal and would like to sell it.
Mr.. Clements said that he did not care
particularly for dogs, but if it would stay
at his place at 1877 Olive street, he would
pay the $3.50 for it. Alderman left the
dog there, and few days later returned
and was paid the amount he asked. On
July 11th, Mr.. Clements gays, Mrs.
Smith and an officer came to his place
and took the dog to Mrs. Smiths. Upon
Mr.. Clements return he ascertained
what had happened, and he went to
Mrs. Smiths place and told her that he
would return the dog to her if she
proved it to be her property. He denies
that he struck Mrs. Smith, and says that
he was allowed to 60 on his own recog-
uizance by the Court, to which he sur
rendered himself when he heard there
was a warrant out against him.

Mr.. Elliott's residence, on Second

Building is little lively in our neigh

the Sisters College, which is quite near
completion winery is being built, that
will be ready by grape-picking time, and
the trenches have been dug for the foun.

The foundation has been laid for the

seat two hundred people.

The TOwn Trustees in Session
search for a DefauIter.

SeHTCh nOF DeIAutteEs
At the meeting of the Town Trustees
last night, the question as to whether or
not the railroads be asked to discontinue
the fifteen minutes warning whistle, was
brought under debate.
Mr.. E. f. Hall, on behalf of the Los
Angeles and Pacific, stated that the road
vas willing to submit to the decision Of
the Council, but it was deemed advis-
able not to discontinue if possible. He
also stated that instructions had been
given to the engineers to moderate the
calls. The Southern Pscifc's represent
alive stated that the road was willing to
accede to whatever was desired. The
matter was, however, again laid over.
An important stroke of work was done
by the Trustees in abolishing Ordinance
No. 43. for the protection of life and
property, and also it's amendatory No.
40. This was done on account of the
new rules that are being framed. The
only other unusual business that came
up was an application from Town Mar
shall Bsrretto for weeks absence.
Ten weeks ago a hackman from San
Bernardino, driving two-horse rig, ar
rived in town. and putting up his outfit
at MIR. Beville's stable, announced that
he was going to cater to the town. Bus
| mess, however, was very bad with him,
and he accumulated bills at rapid rate,
his account with Mr.. Beville amounting
to $75 on Sunday morning last On that
day be hitched up as usual and drove
out, but was seen no more during the
day, and at nightfall also failed to mate
rialize. Monday came and still he was
not, 30 Mr.. Beville went up to town and
placed the affair in the hands of the
| Sheriff. Today it was learned that the
missing man was in San Bernardino, so
a constable has been dispatched to attach
his outfit.
Mr.. @. E. Hawley, a wealthy New
Yorker, accompanied by his son and
daughter, arrived at the Arcadia today
ON pleasure trip. They are making the
tour of the United States, and have just
arrived in California via Panama. Mr..
Hawley is loud in his praises of this
section, and predicts future for it that
will realize the dreams of the widest
spectators.
A force of men is engaged today in
tearing down the roller-coaster put up
last year by Mr.. J. w. Scott, of the Ar
cadia. The reason for its removal is its
failure to be a paying property nova
days, and in it's place fine walk to the
beach is to be made.
