All Three Are Satisfied.

A funny story is told of two French
noblemen and a favorite actress. The
Frenchmen were suitors of the lady, and
both seemed to be equally esteemed by
her. It appears that in France, as well
as in many other countries, lock of
hair is considered a signal pledge of ten
der passion. Mile. Bertha glories in the
possession of auburn ringlets, and would
not part with one Of them for less than
a duchy. Her admirers, however, hap
pened to have hair of the same golden
hue as that of their common love.
Each begged tress of her hair in ex-
change for a lock of his own, to which
the charming creature readily assented,
and without touching a single hair of
her head cunningly managed to effect
an exchange of parcels, by which each
gentleman received a curl of his rivals
capillaries. The count now wears the
baron's hair next his heart, and the
baron sleeps with the counts lock under
his pillow.-Million.

HOLABIRD'S VIEWS.
He Discusses the Question of Count!
Division.

He Discusses the Question of County
Division.
w. II. Holabird, the boomer and Gre
ator of Claremont, that beautiful settle
ment of fruit growers, was in the city
yesterday and talked as follows about
the proposal to create San Antonio
county:
The question OF county division is still
the leading question in Pomona valley.
Like Banquo's ghost, it will not down:
The growing sentiment in the city OF
Los Angeles that the city and county
governments should be consolidated
simply more clearly tells the sstory OF
discomfort with the present costly forms
OF city and county government. Then
the proposition to give Pomona supe.
rior court and Judge, as we'll as deputies
of some of the more important county
offices, is an acknowledgment OF the
claim that the Pomona valley people
make.
We expect the opposition will work
on the San Francisco and Sacramento
delegations to the assembly.
The leading opponent to county, di.
vision is Senator Carpenter, and it
seems now that he does not draw quite
as much water az he did just previous
to the Republican funeral of November
Sth.
would suggest a meeting of a COM
mittee to be appointed at the Pomona
convention to be held Saturday, and a
committee to be appointed by the ad-
vocates of the city and county OF Los
Angeles proposition.

A SLEEPY BURGLAR.
HE ENTERS A HOUSE. GOES TO BED
AND TO SLEEP.
The Surprise That Met MIR. Handy
when He Wanted to Go to Bed.
The Result of His In
vestigations.

Citizens OF Los Angeles have been
treated frequently during the past year
to the sensation of having their resi-
dences entered by real live burglars for
the purpose of plunder, but only one
instance is recorded OF the entrance OF a
house for the purpose OF slumber, and
that incident happened Wednesday
night at No. 1858 lockwood street, near
Belmont hall. The residence is occu.
pied by B. o. Handy, his mother, Mrs.
X. Handy, his brother-in-law, Mr.. and
Mrs. f. f. Jones, and Miss Dora Jones.
About 9 o'clock Mr. Handy went
home and found the family all there.
He started to 20 to his room, when he
found the door locked and heard heavy
breathing inside, as if some one was
asleep there. Thinking it very strange,
and not little alarmed, he made con-
siderable noise and went back to the
room where his brother-in-law was elt-
ting, The family grew somewhat ex.
cited over the information and general
council of war was held, when 1T was
decided to attempt an entrance into the
bedroom.
But when they reached the room the
door was open and no one was there.
The bed was all mussed up and some
one had evidently been enjoying
snooze very recently, as the bed was
warm.
By this time the women were In the
traditional state of nervousness pro-
duced by the premonition that there is
a man under the bed, and the men felt
squeamish themselves. Nevertheless,
they proceeded to search the house. In
an adjoining room there is roomy
closet, and when the door was thrown
open there stood man drawn up
straight against the wall and holding
his shoes, rough pair of brogans, in
his hands.
He was ordered to come out and he
did 80, blinking his eyes and acting in
dazed sort Of way. When asked what
he was doing in the house, he said he
was tired and had gone into the room to
sleep.
He was askSd if he did not know that
was dangerous, and replied in an indif-
ferent manner that he supposed it was.
but he was tired. He was middle
aged man with light mustache, wore q
slouch hat and dark clothes, which were
shabby.
Mr.. Handy and Mr.. Jones were nom
pluseed. They had missed nothing, and
none of the articles in the room had been
disturbed. The man said he came right
in the front door and went to bed. He
gave his name as Montgomery, but
would not say much about himself.
Finally, after talking it all over, it
was decided to let the fellow go, and he
was turned out of the house, no com
plant being made to the police about
the incident.
