A Proofreader, Tired of Bad Copy, Gives a
Lesson In Loaded Matter.

A Proofreader, Tired of Bad Copy, Gives a
Lesson In Loaded Matter.
A tale of tragedy comes from Moscow.
Managing Editor Choledkoff, of an unpro-
nounceable newspaper, the name of which
would be Gazette in English, was mortified
beyond endurance one morning upon pick
ing up the paper at his breakfast table to
find that the fiend of a proofreader had left
out about a third of the consonants that
should have bristled through a compliment
tery notice of the car.
The proofreader knew that was not in
consonance with the papers policy, and
Editor Choledkoff knew he knew it. There
fore he was the more wrath. Had there
been only few of the rough corners bro
ken off the names of some of the naval Off
GERS or the inspectors of police, or had the
proofreader left off the off of the editors
own name, it would have been passable.
But the bulling of a complimentary per
sonal of the car WAS serious matter The
cars feelings might be hurt, and he might
cause the secret police to hurt the editors
feelings. Therefore the editor resolved for
the four hundredth time to fire the proof
reader.
And this time he was in earnest. But
somehow the prroofreader got the drop on
him and fired first. The ball took effect in
the leg of the table. Still the editor would
not relent. He was determined to fire the
proofreader, and the proofreader fired again.
This time the ball entered the chest of the
editor and passed through his lungs, and
he died. Having dyed his hand with the
blood of the chief, the proofreader then
went in to get even with those of the staff
who had made him the scapegoat of theiI
excuses for bad breaks in copy for years
Standing in the door of the editorial room
he began firing right and left and winged
three assistant editors before he ceased
Then he went out and surrendered to the
poliee.-Philadelphia Press.

plies to Fremont "to defend the lives and
property of the Americans" he refused all
aid and ordered the ship commanders of
his fleet to obey to the letter all treaty stip-
ulafions between the United States and
Mexico. Fortunately the spirit of the
American immigrant population and of
the navy subordinates who came in contact
with them was too strongly in favor OF
United States action to permit the case TO
90 by default Fremont and his men were
the heroes of the hour to all but the native
Mexicans and the French and English set
tiers, who favored English protection. Ad-
miral Seymour's feet was known to be
sailing up the coast to interfere in the Cal
ifornia business, and a days delay might
bring a third power into the field The
situation was presented to the commodore
by one after another of his subordinates.
and few hours after his chilling instruc-
lions to his captains to observe treaty stip
ulations he recalled them and ordered the
stars and stripes hoisted on the Mexican
custom house at Monterey by a detach-
ment of naval officers and seamen; also
at san Francisco, Suffers and other places

ers, prOUiding Fremont lCOuld join forces

| quickly presented, himself on board the
/ flagship. Sloat demanded written author
/ ity for all that had taken place under Ere
monts lead, and when the bold captain
admitted that there was none he (Sloat) de-
clared that he had hoisted the flag because
of his faith in Fremont's official action
and character. Seeing his mistake, he i'm
patiently ended the interview, and it was
not repeated.
The cautious sailor was SO overcautious
that he did nothing to sustain Fremont on
land, where the real danger lay. But when
the English arrived few days later the
Mexican soldiery showed fight, and it be-
came necessity either to suppress them OF
abandon the occupation. Sloat persisted
! that he "could do nothing but luckily
his second in command, Commodore Stock
ton, arrived on the scene and wrung from
Sloat the permission to land naval bat
TALON to cooperate with Fremont. The
Mexicans were twice subdued, once by
Fremont and again by Fremont, Stockton
and General Kearny, who marched in
overland from New Mexico with 100 Unit
ed States soldiers. Several battles occur
red, and the natives were everywhere con-
cuered and subdued. Fremont received
the surrender as military commandant and
was appointed governor of the territory.
The revolution of the American settlers
was the decisive event, and that was stir
red up by Fremont's open defiance of the
Mexican soldiery. Sloat was converted by
it from the neutral role he had set out to
play into an armed invader. The same ag-
gressive spirit led to the hosting of the
flags and their maintenance at all cost
until occupation became fact through
the overthrow of Mexican power and influ'
, ence by force of arms. If the acquisition
of California was not conquest, with Ere
mont as the hero, it was livery like 1t,
and no mistake GEORGE l.. KILMER.

A Very ForgetfuI Person.

Its curious how fergitful some folks
are, now amt ity' inquired Mr.. Jakes, the
village plumber, carpenter and sheriff
in ruminative tone. There's people
that'll fergit arrants an jobs an bills an
days O. the week an so on, an I've even
heard tell of folks that would fergit
their own names now an agin."
Eyes, I've heard mention made of Jest
sech cases." said Abiiah Snow, who was
watching Mr.. Jakes solder a good sized
hole in the bottom of the Snow teakettle.
"Well, l b'lieve there's woman in
this town beats 'em all fer fergittin,"
said Mr.. Jakes.
Who's thatF' inquired his customer,
with mild interest.
"It's Mis- Willard Franklin" replied
Mr.. Jakes. "She's got inter the habit of
comm over to our house twice week,
or sometimes oftener, as t happens. An
it's queer thing, but if you'n b'lieve
me, she sets an sets and fergts all about
Willard till we've had good square
dinner, an within 10 minutes after we've
cleared everythin offn the table she'll
rec'llect him an start fer home"
Mr.. Jakes shot one glance at Mr.. Snow,
and Mr.. Snow returned it as he said
slowly:
"S'pose the fact of Wizards bein sech
scanty pervider an your spreadin a
lib'ral table could hev anythin to do
with it?'
"They say you can't ever tell what
docs affect folks memory-or fergittry."
said Mr.. Jakes in a noncommittal tone.
And then he blew out his light, and he
and Mr.. Snow INDUCED in couple of
dry chuckles as the kettle changed hands.

May, General Zachary Taylor was forcing
the issue with Mexico at Palo Alto and
Resaca de la Palma. War was declared
on May 10, but news of it was long time
reaching the Pacific coast.
Fremont and Gillespie talked far into
the night, and the young explorer turned
into his blanket fully determined to retrace
his steps and re-enter Mexican California
as soldier. Before they slept the camp
was attacked by Tlamaths, and two of Ere
mont's band were killed Had Fremont
fallen in that midnight skirmish, the desti-
ny of California's bursting Golfers would
have been settled by the chance blow OF an
Indians hatchet.
The party pushed rapidly down the Sac
ramento valley, raidiDg and destroying
the Indian rancheros. This was to warn
the red men not to attack the Americans,
as they purposed to do at the instigation
of the Mexicans.
The Fremont ejectment episode of March
had stirred up the natives against all the
white men in California. The whites In
turn looked to Fremont as their deliverer,
and when they saw him recalled by
United States officer fresh from Washing
ton and learned, as they did, that fleet a
United States war vessels lay in San Fran
cisco harbor their hopes turned at once to
American occupation by force II neces-
sary, but occupation anyway.
The naval officers supplied lead, powder
and caps on Fremont's requisitions at the
a' time refusing them to citizens who
b -anized what is known as the Bear
lr republic at Sonoma. Fremont march
e. ia original band, who were only citi-
z'na voluntarily obeying an army officer,
TO san Francisco and committed a bold
act of war by spiking the guns of Next
can fort at the entrance Of the bay now
known as the Golden Gate. Returning to
Sonoma, Fremont found the Bear Flag
men in arms TO the number of 224. His
force was 100, and the settlers insisted that
he unite with them and assume command.
He did so after conservative speech, in
which he reminded them that he was an
officer of the United States army and
should look to them TO do nothing that
would discredit that army or the country's
flag This little force augmented almost

time in wearing out being only produced
upon special occasions after the one for
which it had been prepared. Such colors
as blue, pink, yellow and white were com
pletcly left out of the category of possibil1-
ties for the elderly woman. Since then a
total change has been comprised by slow
degrees, and at the present moment the
woman who has seen half n century Is free
to deck herself with any colors that she
may elect Nor is 1t in dress alone that
the change has been so great. Our grand
mothers used to begin to wear caps at the
age of As, whereas in these days an elderly
woman no more thinks of wearing cap
than does her granddaughter. A woman
who has the good fortune to possess silver
gray or white hair is wise enough to ap.
preciate its beauty and becomingness and
to arrange il in such a way as to make the
most of it. She chooses small, close bon
nets that conceal the hair ms little ms pos
sible and selects colors calculated to set 1t
of to the greatest advantage. Black and
gray velvet, jet and steel cannot be I'M
proved upon as millinery materials In such
a case, always with the additions of a
! touch Of some decided color like blue, rose
or magenta. Gray and golden brown is
also often becoming combination and
has the merit of not being common.
An illustration is given of small jet
bonnet suitable for middle aged woman.
The Jet frame is trimmed in front with
! two let wings and jet aigret held In

short strings are of black velvet.

daily.
The emulsion looks like smooth, thin
cream.
Its perfume resembles vanilla. 1t may
be used instead of soap. 1t cleanses the
face quite as well and never makes the
skin red, as soap will often do. The cost
of the lotion is Insignificant, which is an
other recommendation.
Among the articles of luxury which are
being sold at reduction nowadays may be
reckoned silk hosiery. Some astonishing
bargains are to be obtained in these goods,
both in black and colors. The woman who
wears medium size in everything is the
one who mainly profits by sales of shoes,
stockings, gloves and garments. The I'M
usually stout or slender person may search
all day for something to fit her and pay the
highest price for it when it is found, while
her sister of average proportions is suited
in half an hour at half the cost for the
same quality.
