and accompanied by the civil officials and

look at very pretty young woman who
was riding by on bike. She was dressed
in dark-blue bloomer costume and was a

on her until her form was out of sight and

turned to me. "Devilish neat. eh?"

watching every one as you did that girl in

THAT has nothing to do with the case,"
retorted the colonel, an angry flash light

tell you was of the bloomer costume of
1851. In August of that year there APP

worn by DR.. Mary Walker in later days.
She was not bad looking, and 1 tell you
now she attracted great deal of attention
wherever she went. OF course everybody
stared at her, and rybody had some
comment to make. The severest criticisms,
however, came from her own sex, but she
did not mind them evidently, for saw her

WILL ATTACK THE LAW.
Assessor Siebe in Quandary Over the
Personal Property Tax.

Assessor Siebe in q Quandary Over the
Personal Property Tax.
Assessor Siebe and Auditor Broderick
have struck another snag in the new rev.
enue law adopted by the last Legislature.
Under that law the Assessor is required
to collect taxes upon all personal property
unsecured by real estate. The work was
all new this year. so the Assessor fell two
months behind. His collections footed up
$439, 900, and he turned that amount into
the City treasury.
But he did not collect all the money that
was assessed, and, under the new law some
people think he is responsible for this
shortage. The section provides that
within five days after the Auditor has
notified the Assessor of the amount he
must collect the Assessor must pay this
sum into the treasury. If he fails to do
so the District Attorney must begin suit
against him and his bondsmen for the re-
covery of the coin.
1t is provided that there shall be no
defense to such suit except that the
assessment upon which the tax is due is
illegal and void.
The amount still due foots up $40, 572
Both sides are in quandary over the mat
ter. OF course. Assessor Siebe will fight
hard before he will pay this sum out of his
own pocket or allow his bondsmen to
make it good A big portion of the assess
ment is due on ships, and they are at sea,
beyond the Assessors reach.
Siebe states it is utterly impossible to
collect the money. The only recourse
that he sees at present is to attack the
legality of the law and have it declared un-
constitutional. At present it looks as
though the City officials would have to go
through the formality of suing him for

charcoal burner leave his hut, followed
him, and when they reached place where
he thought there was no one to see him,
he assaulted Atari, threw HIM to the
ground face downward, and while he was
in that position drove the blade of a long
knife four times into his back, after which
he took his money from him. The
plunging of the knife and the subsequent
robbery was witnessed by John Burke,
who was one of my neighbors when /
lived on Jane street near Mission. That
was little street that ran parallel with
and above Second and which has been
obliterated by the cutting through of New
Montgomery street.

brief speech by Forni, who reiterated that
the man he had killed had robbed him of
his money and that he had killed him in
his endeavor TO regain his property be-
cause the robber had drawn a knife on
him. Then the black cap that shut out
the sunlight from the eyes of Jose Forni
was put over his head, the moose was ad-
justed around his neck, all amid the great
est possible silence. The spring was
touched and as the body stretched the
rope many in the crowd whose bravery
failed them at the last moment turned
away to avert the sight
THAT is how the first legally executed
murderer was put ont of the way. Many
of the crowd remained until the body was
cut down. By 8 o'clock in the afternoon
the hill was deserted; the people had re-
turned to their respective places of bust
ness and homes and before supper time
the great lesson of the day had been for
gotten. In the evening the gambling
halls were crowded with those who US
ually patronized them, the places OF
amusement were filed to their utmost,
and no one seemed to think that but few
hours before outraged justice had visited
awful punishment on one who had taken
the life of a fellow-man."
As the colonel was finishing his account
of the drums, together with the crowd
that followed at a respectful distance, re-
minded me of the solemn PROFESSIONS OF
the European countries. If | recollect
right there was but one more such process

He Taught Her a Lesson.

One summer the wife of Chicago man
went to one of the resorts At the end Of 4
week she found that her black silk had given
ont, so she wrote to her husband to ''find =
spool of it in the lower drawer of the bu-
reau" and send it on. The dutiiul husband
spent three solid hours one hot day before
ne found the missing spool. OF course it
was not where hi. wife had said it was
After he had changed his saturated linen
the man went down and sent the spool by
registered mail to his wife That night il
struck him rs absurd that she should have
put him to all that trouble, and he resolved
to teach her lesson. He thought that with
a little effort she might have found some
silk at the summer resort that would have
answered her purpose Well, he bought a
gross of spool silk and put it in drawer Of
his desk. The next time she left town she
found spool of black silk under her plate
at the place where she took her first meal,
and ever since then she has been followed
by spool OF silk, even to Europe. Wher
ever she may stop she finds the spool at her
plate or on her hairdresser. She has learned
the lesson.

The other night young couple, newly

minutes later the young man came down
stairs, and, approaching the clerk, said
"That room is very nice, and all that, but
there is something missing that should be
there"
"What is it?" asked the clerk, surprised
"Well, answered the young man, leaning
over the desk and whispering, TO tell the
ruth, there is no comb and brush there"
1t was as much As the clerk could do to
keep a straight face. "You haven't travel

NO" answered the man; this is the

Then" said the clerk, "the comb and

reason to believe that she bewails her fate
at having been born in plebeau America

and bald heads, in the absence of crowned
heads, she incidentally remarked that on her
next visit to civilization she would get more
