A WATER FRAY.
Manager Warner Spoils His New
Suit of Clothes.

East San Gabriel was the scene of a
mild little war on Wednesday morning,
which will be ventilated in court. H.
Warner, the manager of the East San
Gabriel hotel Albert Gibbs, one of the
board of directors of the San Gabriel
Land and Water company, and A. A.
Bennett and P. Bearson, couple of Los
Angeles plumbers, were the participants
in the fray. 1t appears that the East
San Gabriel hotel has been leased by
the San Gabriel Land and Water COM
pany. to Warner, who put a 300-pound
gate in the ditch of the company, with
whenever the gate was closed, of cut
living below the hotel. 1t is alleged
that the gate was down much too often,
especially in the evening, greatly to the
disgust of those who were then unable
to procure water. Mr.. Gibbs, having
received number of complaints from
the consumers, came to town and en-
gagged the services of Bennett and Pear
son to remove the water gate. When
they arrived at East San Gabriel they
found the enemy on the field of battle.
Warner, arrayed in new suit, stood on
the offending gate. The plumbers
started to cut it on both sides, with the
result that Warner tumbled in the water
and spoiled his new clothes. He was
not discouraged, but climbed on the gate
once more. By this time his adversaries
had tied a rope round it and hitched the
other end to team. AS the word ''gee
up" was spoken, Warner gracefully gave
up the fight for the time being. He
came to town little later, after chang
ing his clothes, and swore out COM
plant against the trio charging them
with misdemeanor for breaking and OBJ
structing waterpipe at East San
Gabriel, and tearing out a gate supply
ing the hotel with the fluid. The two
plumbers, who heard they were wanted,
showed up in Justice Austin's court
room yesterday afternoon, and pleaded
not guilty. They are to be tried next
Tuesday morning, and gave $50 bail till
then. Constable Johnson left for San
Gabriel in the afternoon to corral the
director.

cution of public offenses upon informa-
ton filed by the district attor-
ney, 1 will simply call your attention to
that important work which remains to
be done by reading to you such sections
of the penal code of this state as set
forth the duties of the grand Jury.
"The grand jury is the representative
body of the citizens OF the county select
ed to perform certain specified duties
it is not scolding committee, nor yet
the public censor-it is not impaneled
as a body of overseers, for we have them
provided by law in the board OF super
viSOrs.
cit is not their duty to express opin-
ions as to character or conduct, unless
that character or conduct are express
sive of public offense. 1t is as much
their duty to preserve as assail reputa-
tiOns, hence one strong reason why the
proceedings of the grand jury are secret
its secrecy preserves where it does
not assail by Indictment, the character
of the citizen. You have been called at
this time because, the fiscal year having
ended, the accounts of public officers
should now be in such a condition
as to facilitate your examination OF
them"
The court, after reading section 915 OF
the penal code, which refers to the
character OF inquiries to be made by the
grand jury, added: 'This duty is made
light because, as l have intimated be-
fore, the district attorney performs
much of that work in the presentation
of information" Judge Cheney con-
cluded by reading all sections of the
penal code from GIG to 92S inclusive, all
of which relate to the duties of the in
quisitorial body.
The grand jury then retired to the
Lanfranco block, where they organized
and elected as their secretary, j. O.
Newhalr. They will meet again this
morning at 10 O'Clock.

Everything seems to indicate that the

of Arizona will remain in this city. The
Kansas City Times OF last Sunday con-
tains a special dispatch from Washing
ton stating that orders had been issued
from the war department revoking the
order transferring General McCook from
Leavenworth to this city until further
orders. While the import of this can
not be absolutely ascertained, it is cer-
tainly an indication that the war depart
ment is reconsidering the first orders
removing the headquarters to Santa Fe.

A QUESTION OF IDENTITY.
BY SOPHIE SWEET.

Ginger was very small dog, with curly
coat, little stump of tail with as much
wag in it as if it had been foot long. a
pair of soft and sad brown eyes, and little
cold nose with which he caressed his friends.
Almost every one was Gingers friend until
he began to bark at the moon. Then on
moonlight nights no one in the house could
sleep wink. Papa, who was an editor,
wrote such sharp and bitter editorials that
his subscribers dropped away, and there was
such falling off in the sermons of the min
lister next door that there was talk of dismiss
ing him. Two school teachers in the neigh
borhood had nervous prostration, and the
richest man in town. who lived OH the back
street, attempted suicide lest he should
come to want. All of these troubles came
because Ginger wouldn't let people sleep,
You may imagine what an outcry there was
against Ginger.
They fastened thick curtain over the
window of the dog house, but they didn't
fasten 1t SO tightly but that there were
chinks through which the dog, who was al
ways on the watch, could catch glimpse of
q moonbeam. And Ginger was determined
to watch and bark, whatever might be done
to him. He was convinced that it was his
duty, for he knew something that people
did not know.
Once, when he was very small puppy.
and his bark was such thin little yelp that
his mother quite despaired of his ever being
accomplished in that line, the moon-the
great moon, as rounded as an O-had sud-
denly appeared in the very window of the
dog house. He had shiyered in silent terror,
not even daring to awaken his mother, who,
wearied with her maternal cares, was sleep
ing soundly. He had been something of
coward then. for, as every one knows,
puppys courage develops with his bark.
And the moon had moved around the corner
OF the dog house, and there had followed
nutterlng and cackling of fowls, quickly
smotnered. Next morning it was evident
tnaI the poultry house had been robbed.
iney talked about tramp that had been
seen about the place, and about jeff Jupi-
Ter, q colored boy who lived on the back
street. and no one but Ginger knew that it
was the respectable-appea old moon
that was the thief
And all this time he had kept the awful
secret hidden in his breast. His mother
was very skeptlcal old lady, and inclined
TO laugh at his theories ana he doubted
whether she would believe his story. espsc-
tally as she had told him. when remonstrat-
ing with him upon the conduct which made
nlm 80 unpopular, that the moon WAS most
kind and benevolent, and ALWAYS went
along with homeless, benighted dogs to
show them the way. She told him a story
OF his grandmother, who was much trou-
bled by tlmldity, and who had testified
that, being sent ten miles for the doctor in
the dead of winter night, the moon cheer
ingly and socially came and went with her.
Ginger only felt indignant at the thoupht
| of his grandmother in such company. His
mother also said that the moon was yerv
old and powerful-the oldest dog could not
remember when it had not lived and shone

Literature for Children.

Never has literature for children been %
profuse in quantity and 20 excellent in quail
ity. Twenty-Five years ago the perennial
fairy tales. translated from the German,
Sanford and Merton, the tales of Maria
Edgeworth, all painfully pointing moral,
made up the accepted classics. Words.
worth had written few verses, Mary Lambs
little volume, SO long lost. represented the
poetry supposed to be suited to their taste.
There were few English magazines, de-
partments in the weekly journals, and SUM-
day school papers filled with depressing and
imposing anecdotes. Now poet, novelist,
graver, must do their best.
Our Yoxng Folks" of blessed memory,
worked revolution in children's literature.
1t was considered marvellous thing that
Longfellow and Whittier and Mrs. Stowe
indeed, all the foremost writer's of the
country, should employ their great gifts in
1t was an experiment, and a remarkably
successful one. To-day the children have
the very best. The pictures over which
they sit in rapt delight embody perfection
in design and drawing; Cox, Foote and all
the other leading illustrators have put their
wits to work, and the magazines for chill
dren to-day are something never dreamed
of by those of q generation ago. In the
midst of such e. abundance of good thinps
there are, however, some that should always
remain standard.
OF these Harriet Beecher Stoves and
Grace Greenwood's stories of animals are
valuable for tho lessons they teach, incul-
eating kindness to animals. For delicious
nonsense, "Alice in Wonderland" and al
ice Through the Looking Glass;" will never
be surpassed, ana Edward Lear furnishes
their metrical complement.
e For older childred Charles Lambs adap-
tation of the adventures of Ulysses is rec,
commended. with the tales from Shakespeare.
Charles Kingsley's water Babies" is an
exquisite satire, too deep, perhaps, for the
mind of any but grown up people. Little
Women" embodies many sensible ideas,
we'll put. and will always be a favorite. DR..
Hayes stories of Arctic life are as interest
ing to boys as to girls. Tom Brown at
Rugby" is an Incompatible picture of
school life. In all juvenile literature there
is nothing more beautiful than George Mac
aonaid's ''At the Back of the North Wind"
The real and the imaginative are there
blended as only he can combine them, vet
the lesson that he would teach, gentleness,
devotion to parents, truthfulness, are made
prominent and worthy of imitation.

FAIRY UMBRELLAS.

The wet east wind had called to the rain,
Come down, little drops, to the April flowers"
And over the grass and the sleeping grain,
And into the street they swept in showers.
They tapped at each door and called, Come up!
Fer the bleak, cold wind and the snow are gone:
Arbutus is lifting her perfumed cup,
Ard the grass is carpeting all the lawn
But TIE ia RES that lived in the quiet wood
30 they raised their umbrellas as quick as they
could,
And under the trees went troop ng away.
And the people said, when they saw them there,
The fairy umbrellas out in the rain,
u spring has come, SO sweet and SO fair,
For there are those odd little toadstools again"
