HE WAISED A WOW.
That Lordling at Bakersfield,
CAL, INDUCES in Another
Sensation.
WENT TO SEE THE EDITOR
And Got Incontinently Fired
From the Editorial
Sanetum.

BAKERSFIELD, Cal, April 25.-
Lord Sholto Douglass appeared to-
day in the superior court to answer
to the charge of insanity. Only five
EngliShmen were in the room, and
one of them was Burmeister, the
complaining witness.
The young lord sat alone at the
attorneys desk in company with ply
sicians called as an examining board.
No sooner had Judge Conklin
taken his seat than he said:
There being no complaint against
this party, he will be discharged"
and the famous insanity case was
ended. No other word was spoken,
and those present opened their
mouths in wonder, while his lord
ship merely left the room.
Burmeister had refused to swear to
the second complaint necessary for
hearing for insanity cases, so there
was no foundation fir the action, and
the young prisoners dismissal from
court followed as a matter of course.
He hurried to his hotel, then to the
bank, where he drew some money,
oiA1 OSSoii a oCIICo VI leu NiSllS
to different stores. He stopped Con-
stable Seroy, and asked: How much
would it cost me to assault a MANI"
Seroy answered: Now, look here,
young man you behave yourself like
a gentleman. If you have a case
against any one, bring suit, but do
no fighting" ~.
About o'clock this afternoon the
mystery was solved. His lordship
went to the Californian Office and
asked George Weeks, the editor, if
the Chronicle correspondent was
there. The reply was that that was
professional secret He left, but
soon returned. He was seen to enter
the office, and in a remarkably brief
space of time he
EMERGED LIKE A SHOT.
After him came Mr.. Weeks and the
office force, apparently bent on the
| destruction of the young lord. A few
moments later his lordship, somewhat
ruffied in appearance. entered the Of
flee Of Justice Fox and informed his
honor he had assaulted the Chronicle
correspondent.
II hit him three or four times in the
face when four or five men set upon
me from behind and put me out I
desire to plead guilty."
Constable Seroy swore to the COM
plant and Douglass was fined $50, the
exact costs. The justice then read the
law which says he should fine for bat
terry in any sum not exceeding $1,000
or Imprisonment not exceeding six
months, or both. Douglass said:
"Ah, is that so? and 1 thought So
was the limit. / was informed that
was the case"
Mr. Weeks gives a very different
story of the encounter. He says Lord
Douglass. after saying he had been
publishing lies about him. struck at
him. He missed his aim and before
he could try again was thrown into
the street. Douglass left, saying he
would return with his crowd and set
tie things. Weeks told him he would
shoot the first of his crowd that en-
tered the building. His lordship is at
present hunting for other correspond
ents.

Meditati0ns in the dentists chair can

Do you know that filings come out,
neurslgia is developed, and teeth gener-
ally are badly injured by the use Of iced
water, iced tea and iced beverages Of
any kind: People will eat hot dishes
and wash them down with iced drinks,
and then wonder why their tceeh can't
stand such terrific and sudden change
of temperature. It's marvel that the
teeth do not crack completely with the
alternate roasting and freezing. Filled
teeth are extremely sensitive 10 such &C

There Is charming young widow in
South Minneapolis who retains 5-year-
old girl as the only pledge Of her dear
departed. The little one had just begun
to learn her alphabet. A gentleman
called upon the widow the other even
ing. OF course the fond mother wanted
to show off her child. Taking up n news
paper and pointing to the big letters in
an advertisement, the mother said:
What letter Ia that?
A, responded the child.
What comes after A?
b.
And what comes next?
c, lisped the little one.
The inquiry was pursued still farther,
but along toward the end OF the alphabet
the little girl lost her bearings and never
answered question.
Finally the gentleman thought he
put few questions. He began with
this one:
What comes after T.?

GOOD DOGS DESERVE GOOD CARE.
II you don't care enough about dog
to take little trouble for him, don't
keep one.
II you do, then get as good a one as
you can afford. And get him young.
To be sure II saves trouble to buy full
grown dog, but he will not be likely, at
least for some time, to care for you SO
much as one you have trained yourself.
Get the kind Of dog that suits your
condition In life.
Don't shut st. Bernard, or grey
hound, or wild Irish setter In . little
city plot; don't take up with silly pug
II you can have clever terrier.
About food for dogs opinions vary. IL
you give your puppy milk, always add
to II spoonful OF lime water, and put
lime water into all the water he drinks.
He must be fed often, certainly three
{ mes a day, must not be allowed to over
eat himself, and should be watched to
see IL his food suits him.
A big bone with next to nothing on 1t
will amuse him and help TO cut his teeth,
but no small bones that he can chew up
and swallow should be given. He may
have saucer Of bread and milk, no
meat at present, but he can have little
soup or gravy on his bread, and dog
biscuit.
Avoid giving your pets much fat, and
veal Is very bad. Dogs, like people,
have peculiarities and cannot all be
treated alike. A slice Of meat that will
make no impression on one, will cause
another To have fits. And then, again,
food depends very largely upon the
amount OF exercise taken. Always have
fresh clean water at hand.
Now as To the kennel. The happiest
and healthiest puppies are not reared In
satin-lined baskets in hot rooms. Neither
are they subjected TO cold aud exposure,
