Nellie Ackley Found Guilty of Having
Stolen 1t.
In the Police Court yesterday a Jury of
nine citizens was impaneled to try Nellie
Ackley on a charge of petit larceny. She
was accused of having inveigled Joe
Silva of Newcastle into her den and TAX
ing twenty dollars from him. The COM
plainant could not swear that the Ackley
woman took his money, but the prosecu-
ton relied on convicting her as an ac-
complete, by proving that she was one of
the principles in panel game.''
City Attorney Hart and w. a. Ander-
son made arguments pro and con. The
latter claimed that the case would never
have been brought into court if the de-
1endant had given Silva twenty dollars
when Captain Lee told her to. He
claimed that the old business of "squar-
ing'' had been attempted.
Captain Lee was present and endeav-
ored to interrupt Mr.. Anderson. So did
Judge Cravens and City Attorney Hart
but the more the court interrupted the
more excited Mr.. Anderson grew, until
finally a forcible command from the
Judge stopped him.
The instructions of the court were
unusually long, and at the conclusion of
their reading the jury retired. A verdict
of guilty was returned.

hlJBURN'S CITRUS FAIR.
Sacramento County's Exhibit Being
Placed in Position.
Excursion Trains and Special Rates
Tho Indications are for a
Big Success.

The work of preparing Sacramento
County's exhibit for the Auburn Citrus
Fair, which opens Monday, has pro-
crossed rapidly during the past few days.
The task of collecting the fruit that had
been promised was somewhat retarded
heretofore on account of the stormy
weather.
Thomas Madeley left at noon yesterday
for Auburn with the exhibit, and will
give his personal attention to the arrange
ment of the fruit. Anything reaching
him by Monday next will be in time to
compete for the various premiums. Con-
tributions of flowers will help to set off
the display, and it is to be hoped that cit
| liens will aid in making this part of the
exhibit worthy of Sacramento. The
fame of her gardens is widespread. Let
US make good our reputation.
If persons, who might have been over
looked in the collection of exhibits will
kindly forward their contributions to
Auburn they will receive the thanks of
the committee, and their fruit will be
properly displayed.

A BEAUTIFUL FACE.
1t Wasn't Young, It Wasn't Correct, b'
All Said IL Was Beautiful

IL Wasn't Young, It Wasn't Correct, but
All Said IL Was Beautiful
Somebody said it was beautiful
face, and the second somebody who
looked at it discovered it wasn't a
young face, while the third somebody
said that it was not correct face,
but still they all united in saying it
was beautiful face. / will tell you
how it happened to be so. 1t was the
face of a woman who, early in life,
when she was a girl like you and Kate
and Dorothy and Mary, discovered
that her face would only be beautiful
II she did not allow herself to speak
the pettish word or think the unkint
thought; that petulance and sullels
ness drew down the corners of her
mouth until they made lines thee
that anger gave her corrugated
brow, and that violent indignation
made her draw her lips close to-
gether, made them lose their Cupir ;
arrow shape and become thin and
pursed up.
She learned that ill-temper affected
her complexion. Now, you laugh at
that! But 1t is true, nevertheless.
Every part of the human being is
affected by mental action, and anger
is quite as likely to give you indiges-
tion and dyspepsia as it is to give you
headaches and make you feel nervous.
Indigestion and dyspepsia mean dull
eyes and saliow skin; SO, quite IRE
spective OF its being virtue to
strain your angry passion, you see 1T
is q good beauty preserver. The
woman who, as a girl, never learns
exactly how undesirable 1t is to show
outward visible designs of peevish-
ness or irritability will certainly have
outward visible signs of them on her
face, and when she is the age of this
woman-the woman who is described
as having beautiful teachers will
be wrinkled and ugly. Ugly is very
disagreeable word. You know it
doesn't mean lacking in fine features;
1t doesn't mean not having skin
like strawberries and cream, but It
means being repulsive and disagreed
BILE. And so, my dear girl, that's
what you must not do. You must,
when you are so, have q beautiful
face-the result of careful consid-
Grafton of your temper and the out
spoken words that proclaim 1t; a con-
sideration of such weight that it
never lets the ugly, angry words even
formulate, let alone express them
selves. Ladies' Home Journal.

Sensible Cows.

The other morning, very sultry
one, two cows came to our gate, evil
IDENTIFY On the lookout for something,
and after being at first somewhat
puzzled by their pleading looks, / be-
thought myself that they might be
in want of water. No sooner had
this idea occurred to me than had
some water brought in large vessel,
which they took with great eager
ness. The pair then sauntered con-
tentedly away to field near at hand.
In about half an hour or so we
were surprised and not little amused
by seeing our two friends marching
up to the gate accompanied by three
other cows.
The water-tap was again called into
requisition and the newcomers were
in like manner helped literally.
Then with gratifled and repeated
"bOo-OOs"-a unanimous vote of
thanks--our visitors slowly marched
off to their pasturage.
1t was quite clear to us that the
first two callers, pleased with their
friendly reception, had strolled down
to their sister gossips and dairy COM
panions and had informed them
how cannot say, can you?-of their
liberal entertainments, and then had
taken the pardonable liberty of invit-
ing them up to our cottage.

How much usage will do in tough
ening the human body is well shown
by some facts about the natives or
Siberia, as recorded by the author of
Reindeer, Dogs and Snowshoes.
Cold, he says, seemed to have no ef-
feet upon them.
Frequently, he says, when we could
not expose our ears for two minutes
without having them frozen, the ma
tives would go for an hour at a time
with their hoods thrown back from
their heads; and when 1t required
constant watohfulness TO keep our
noses from freezing they did not APP
pear TO notice the temperature at ALL.
One morning in January STOOD In
perfect amazement at their disregard
Of the low temperature. They worked
for at least half an hour with bare
hands, packing up the tent and uten-
sis, handling the packages and lash
ing them together with Icy seal
thongs, without experiencing the
least apparent inconvenience, while l

race. 1t was the native home Of the
savages. Many of them had never been
near the coast and had scarcely any
knowledge of it except by hearsay,
consequently their knowledge was
very vague.
Il was interested beyond measure
In their strange customs. They were
naked. Not thread OF any kind do
these natives wear. Men and women
alike appear as on the day OF their
birth. They ara large, stalwart saw
nges, strongly built and with crispy
black hair and eyes. Their skin is.
scarcely so dark as that Of the Samo-
ans or Hawaiians. For, indeed, they
are of another race. The Samoans
and Hawaiians are Polynesians, but
these are Papuans. Many of them
are feet high, but most Of them
are about feet or feet 10 inches.
"The women are also Of good size,
well developed and often handsome.
The women, however, have no infu-
ence over the men. A white man
can buy a woman for enough Of the
native money to make, say, from two
to five pounds. A very pretty woman
can be got for that, and often for
less. One who is not very pretty can
be got for half that and an ugly one
for a good deal les.
when a man has bought woman
she is his absolutely, and IL she vio-
lates her faith with him she is killed
and eaten. They were very strict
about that. They will not kill and
eat her at or near our trading posts,
for years ago we began infiicting Sc
we're punishment on them for canni-
balism, but they will lure her away to
the woods and then cut off her head
and cook her up. We never hear Of
such women again.
1T is only for such things that a
tribe will so dispose of one of its
members, but tribe preys upon tribe,
steals men and women away from
each other and eats them. The
German Government and the New
Guinea Company do all possible to
prevent this, but they cannot stop it.
The savage accomplishes it in the
woods remote from the posts, and all
we know is that the natives are dis
appearing. No member of the tribe
will come down to the coast and tell
of it,
