WIN, Nl(hLG'S EAPEklENCE.
He Drops All His Money--BoEuiIed by a
Smooth Stranger.
William Nickle, young man from
New England, came into Los Angeles on
Friday afternoon.
William Nickle, young man from
New England, went into the police sta
ton In this city on Friday evening.
William had an empty purse and q story
to tell.
When the cars stopped at Downey
avenue, an affable gentleman who shone
in fine raiment and benevolence stepped
on board and got into conversation with
William. William was bound Tor Santa
Ana and 30 was the stranger.
William was going to stay over in Los
Angeles for the night; wonderful coin
cidence, 30 was the stranger. II am
rich" remarked the affable one, in the
course OF conversation. 81 have a
friend who Is also rich" he continued,
sit would be great idea to look him up
and have a great time" William
thought it was great idea, too, and his
benevolent friend stating that he knew
whore his friend could be found, the
pair set out.
The place was building near the cor
ner Of Sixth and Broadway. Willie's
mentor led him up to room on the Sec
ond floor and ushered him in. The
stranger was quite astonished, not TO
say disappointed, to find his friend not
in, but there were some other benevo-
lent-looking gentlemen playing cards.
and the two visitors were received with
kindly greeting.
Stud poker, eh ?" remarked Willie's
friend; astonishing thing, that stud
poker, Haven't played game since I
was hoy; think must play a hand"
and the genial fellow sat down.

Willie being out of the fun.
He was 90 embarrassed that he offered
to share his next winning with William.
but the other gentlemen objected to the
young man PLAYING with any money but
hia own, so Willie pulled out all his
money, $40, and eat down too.
When Willie got out the cock crew
and he wept bitterly. He struck his
head against the wall, and proceeded in
o methodical and energetic manner to
kick himself, from Sixth street until he
reached the police station on Second
street, where he related his experiences.
Willie is broke; Willie has no money
to go to Santa Ana with Willie's trust
in human nature and apparent benevo-
lence has been bitterly destroyed, but
Willie has quite $40 worth Of experience.
Destroyed by Fire and Again at Work.
The Price Baking Powder company OF
Chicago, which ID known throughout
the country for the superior excellence
of its baking powder, met with serious
loss on the morning of May 18th, in the
nearly total destruction by fire of its
factory and Offices. No sooner had the
flames been subdued than the work of
restoration commenced, and the COM
pany by prudent foresight, having had
stored in outside warehouses duplicate
machinery, labels and supplies of raw
materials in preparation for any emer-
gency was enabled by energetic manage
ment to resume manufacturing within q
very few days after the FIRE, thereby
causing its customers but trifiing delay
in the filling of their orders. Had the
company not been 90 prepared the delay
would have been very serious, since it
would have required months of time to
get new machinery.
1t is now 40 years since the goods
manufactured by this company were
frat placed on the market, to DR.. Price
being due the distinction of having pre-
pared the first can of Cream of Tartar
Baking Powder ever manufactured in
any country. 1t Was great discovery,
supersedirg as it did the old method of
using cream of tartar and soda separate
ly, to say nothing of saleratus, with
which the biscuit of early days was en-
FILTERED.
The Price company has no connection
whatever with any other baking powder
company or manufacturer, notwith-
standing representations to the con-
trary made by other manufacturers
whose sole aim is to deceive the public
and borrow the good name and fame ac-
quired by the Price Cream Baking Pow
der, which ie known all over the world
as the purest and "most perfect made"
