ANOTHER TRAMP DODGE

Mrs. Sue Berb does not believe in en-
couraging tramps, peddlers and other
itinerants. 1t has long ben her boast that
such people never got inside her door.
But there are exceptions. One day last
spring Mrs. Sue Berb answered a knock
at her side door, and her heart melte
with pity at seeing there feeble old
woman. apparently overcome with weari-
ness and asthma.
The salutatlon of her strange guest
was:
For the love of heaven, lady, let me
come in and rest a minute. l can't go
on farther at fpresent. Let me sit down
and get my wind and have drink OF
water -wheeze-puff-wh eeze-puff-et
Mrs. Sue Berb's natural suspicion was
unarned. and she cheerfully gave the
strange wanderer a seat in her kitchen,
brought her a drink. not OF water. but OF
wine, and sat by and famed her until
the signs of asthma began to disappear.
= Her reward was to see her visitor sud-
denly whip small basket of pins and
notions from beneath her shawl, and,
with cunning glitter in her eyes. solic-
it patronage in voice from which all
trace of asthma had gone. Mrs. Sue Berb
concluded that she had neen sold, and
she was convinced when she saw her Wis
itor walk up to the house of her next
door nelgnDor ana repeat lne same tac-
tics.
D The first of May came, and with it
Mrs. Sue Berb moved from her house on
Steenth street to a house on Steenth ave-
nue., which she could get 81 month
cheaper, and which had, besides, the ad-
vantage of one more gas jet and a little
cleaner paper on the kitchen wall.
Yesterday there was knock at her
side door, and when she opened it who
should be there but her former acquaint-
ance, with the same old asthma and ex-
haustion and the same plea for chance
to come in and rest just minute. Mrs.
Sue Berb is not the kind of fish that can
be caught twice in the same net. She
had no pity this time. After listening to
the old woman's complaint for a minute,
she broke in with:
For the love of heaven, woman, go
away-wheeze-I can't help you-puff-
Give me chance to rest a minute in my
own nouse-wheeze-If you knew how
Ill | am You would not ask to come in ~
eeze-puff-wheeZe.
And the notions purveyor, with crest
fallen look trotted nimbly down the STEP s

that there was more than one cure foI

NOT J0NAH'S WHALE

Whales are scarce articles. Even in
Jonah's day we only hear of the one.
There may have been more, but they left
no record. On this coast there are
| whales, but not as plentiful as of yore.
Ten years ago the writer saw a school
or some such place OF learning-of five.
but they seem to be becoming scarce.
Redondo had a whale anchored off the
beach for long time. ana now Santa
Monica has rented the same old blubber
and had it towed down to their beach
with all the flourish of trumpets, Gym balls
and drums of the old Biblical times when
they moved the ark of the covenant. The
idea may not be very tishy, but is this a
genuine whale? Have they secured the
coroner affidavit that it is the real genu-
inc article and no fakep Does q whale
when anchored by q head and stern line
to chisley beach, under a hot southern
summer sun. even wnen laved by the
cooling waters of the Pacific, last forever,
or even until it has been towed from place
to place for whole season.
These conundrums will come to the sur
face for the same reason the whale does,
to blow, hut at the east on the Atlantic
coast. when they wish to draw the crowds
and trade is dull at the watering places,
they have their leviathan of the deep an
chored whore the multitude can gaze on
the spectacle, wondering and guessing
how many barrels of oil it will make,
ana tue olu SallOTS WHO ndNe UeeH Cuao-
ing whales around the North Pole will
look at the floating monster with an ex-
perienced critical eye and particularly state
its age. pedigree, and even show the scar
where harpoon has struck it and been
torn out in its younger days. and yet
what they are looking at was only an
imitation whale made of rubber and
blown full OF air. and come dark night
the air would be let out and another
whale W ould be discovered in few days
off some other watering place, but it
was the same old Neptune's football
lowed around there and blown up again.
We do not wish to throw any discredt
on the whale that is making the tour of
tins coast, for he may be good fellow.
the genuine thing, the real hero of many
a marine battle and as such should not
be subject to suspicion, but the imitation
whale is more of novelty because they
are scarce and are an artistic production
of IN Mechanical skill and cannot become as
common as the everyday whale, for there
would be corner in the rubber market
If two were made at once.
A few years ago one of the imita ton
whales was taken on specially made cars
all over the United States Until it had WIS.,
tied every small town and was then sold
for old rubber, yet at every stopping place
people would find fault with the odor
emanating from the supposed whale, when
an old rubber shoe would have the same,

PUTS NO FAITH in INDIANS NOW

A man up near San Dimas had an In
dian experience the other day which,
while lacking in most respects the oppor-
tunities for thrilling enjoyment such as
are pictured in the scalping, bloodhound
ling variety, will nevertheless be suita-
bic reminder for some time to come that
dealings with any of the Indian peIsua-
sion are fraught with great risk.
Now this man always has on hand q
goodly amount of old boui bon-for emer-
gencies. The other morning he was cul-
tivating his young prune orchard, and
when great gaunt Indian came tearing
down the road with a countenance like
green persi mmons and dropped fat down
in the street, this same man was eXer-
cised to that degree that his organism
demanded an explanation of the queer
sight. He dropped his cultlvator, and
leaving his horse to feast on the young
trees, ran out into the road and inter-
viewed the red man. The fast expiring
Indian could only mutter, 'Rattlesnake
heap whisky! heap whisky" and had
barely strength left to hold up his arm
and exhibit two small scratches slowly
trckling blood. Despairing OF being able
TO save the Indians life, but anxious to
do what he could, the good man ran for
his demijohn, at sight of which the suffer-
ing Indian seemed to regain strength.
Before the iugiwas half empty the redskin
could sit upright and when The last drop
took It's departure he was well man.
This miraculous cure caused some un,
gentlemanly suspicion to rise in the good
Samaritan's breast, but he managed to
stitle them until he heard one of his
neighbors lower down tell how he (the
neighbor) had saved the life of a snake
bitten Inuian by giving him whisky; and
by comparing notes discovered that the
same scratch had secured the willy Indian

prevent him from uttering some imprint

friend in prayer for the Indians future

Cured of a Bad Habit

Wheelmen in East Oakland have been
put to no end of annoyance and expense
by yellow, bench-legged dog. He lies
in wait beside one of the prinoial streets,
and when bicyclist comes along yell
low streak of dog flashes out, and bang
goes a tire. He never tails to make a
puncture at the first nip.
One bicyclIst who is compelled to travel
along that street three or four times a
day has had half a dozen tires punctured
by that yellow dog, and Sunday he de-
cided to put stop to it. He borrowed
an old cushion tire machine and fastened
long, sharp hooks to every smoke so
that they would bend down whenever
they touched the ground and spring out
again as they came up. He spun past
the dogs hiding place time or two and
finally saw his game Watching him from
behind the hedge as he spurted past.
Then he saw what appeared to be thirty
feet of dog coming after him. The next
minute he heard about four blocks of
howl. When he examined the hooks he
found a piece of the dogs upper lip
about two inches square hanging to one
of them.
That was Sunday. and the dog has not
chased a bicycle since.-San Francisco

Silver Coin . Legal Tender.


Hon. w. j. Bryan in his speech last
week said:
1--WE believe that the silver dollar
should be a full legal tender for all
debts and purchases without limit and
that it should stand where it did until
1878. Silver coin is legal tender now
except where otherwise contracted, but
we don't want any of the contract
business. We want money that is as
good for the 90 people as for the Tooth
man.
This question is one that must be
settled by the masses. The silver leaders
tell YOU Just what they want the gold
bugs don't. We want silver coined
free in this country and believe that il
would compel other nations to follow
our example.
.'If a stream has two sources from
which it gets its supply of water 1t il
more apt to keep in a normal condition
than IL fed only from one source. II
our money Is taken from two sources II
will stand heavier test than from ont
metal, and cannot so easily huctuate.
If there is a difference In the value of
the two metals and the debtor has the
choice of either to make his payment he
would choose the cheaper, thus increas
ing the demand for it, raising Its price
and keeping the two metals on parity
But If the creditor has the right tc
dictate what kind of money shall be
paid him he will choose the costlier
and thus creating demand for it, thu
price would go up and the parity would
be destroyed. We want the government
to say to the debtor: Take youl
choice both are legal tender. - Their
the value of either cannot fuctuate.

From the Hope Gazette.
Why not let-up on silver some and
talk little more for your cOuntryf'
asks the Corning Courier. Because, in
talking for silver one talks not only for
his own country but for everybody
else country as we'll. 1t is the great
overshadowing issue of the time, and no
country paper can afford to ignore
it if it is interested in the welfare Of its
people and the prosperity of its
community. So long as America
remains under the financial domination
of England it is the duty of the country
papers to thunder their protest against
q governmental policy which threatens
to hold her forever in that humiliating
attitude. Independence Of British rule
and British. influence is just as deep
seated in the patriotic American heart
today as it was in the days of King
George and Benedict Arnold and just
az long as the goldbugs and plutocrats
and pawnbrokers of New York and
New England insist upon delivering
this country, bound hand and foot, over
to the tender mercies of the British
octopus, just SO long will the country
papers continue to talk silver.
