Of Fellowship
Reception and Entertainment In Honor Of
the Travelling Men at the
Club Rooms

One of the most charming events of the
Fiesta celebration occurred last evening
at the rooms Of the Jonathan Club on
Spring street. 1t was given in honor of
the members of the Travellers Protective
Association and the Pacific Coast Travel
ers' Association.
The large and commodious rooms Of
the club were handsomely decorated in
honor of the occasion. All unnecessary
furniture had been removed and every
arrangement had been fully and amply
made to give the knights of the grip a
cordial and and warm reception.

HclcS.
There is III the eeiIer which
represents the riches of this section, the
air, the verdure, the noises on the street
even, the holiday attire of well dressed
men and prettily-bedecked women, in
their eager looks, ever searching for some
thing to exile plcasurable sensations,
that is conducive to feelings of rejoicing.
Verily,we are head over heels in the Fiesta
and bound to stay with it until its ter
mination.
Is there anything more horrid than the
noise made by a tin trumpet in the hands
and stuck to the lips of a biglunged boy?
Well, even these ear-splitting sounds are
good naturedly passed over, now that
every one is bent on season of unalloyed
enjoyment. Is there anything more hor-
rid than tin horn? Well, we should
smile. What's the matter with that COM
bination from Dante S Inferno, dubbed
a Fiesta CALL but which is more reminis-.
cent of pack of bowling coyotes on the
dry desert. Such, however, is the great
good nature superinduced by Fiesta feel
ings that even this music is welcome.
The only single instrument which per-
formers whose technique is altogether
too Wagnerian should permit themselves
to play, is the. mirlitop, which an enter
prising Frenchman invented at the Fair
of St. Cloud, near Paris, and which an
othe + enterprising native of that country
is trying to unload upon the Fiesta-cr I'd
Juveniles of Los Angeles. Anything can
be played on these mild bamboo reeds
from a fugue by Bach to Sweet Marie by
the latest ballad fiend. And the noise
doesn't kill the bystander.

the most carping critic could not offer
the slightest objection. ~

A YaFarr OF tho Law.

A man in the city Of Baltimore stole
p cat. The owner Of the cat procured
his arrest on a warrant for theft.
Then the mans lawyer arose and told
the court that his client had not
stolen a cat, because it was legally
impossible TO steal cat, because only
property can be stolen, and cats in the
commonwealth of Maryland are not
property, but fere naturs-that is to
say, heras, which are wild beasts, such
as tigers, lions and felis catus, living
IN the state of nature. The Judge was
struck dumb by this argument of the
mans lawyer, and referred the ques-
tion to the attorney-general, a person
of great learning, who in his youth
was mighty hunter of wildcats,
which he pursued over peaks and
through chasms of the Blue Ridge and
chased over back fences and through
vacant lots in his native village. The
formal decision of this eminent au-
thority has established that, under
Maryland law, you cannot steal cat.
Which is another illustrative example
of the variation and conflict of the
local laws in this country. Illegal

quagmires and snakes they abandoned

There are many weird traditions
connected with the Great Dismal.
One of the most uncanny is Of q
phantom ship said TO be a merchant
man captured by Captain Kidd, the
pirate. The ship was dismantled,
robbed, its crew murdered and then
towed up one of the rivers flowing
from Lake Drummond to the sea. The
ship, covered with phosphorus, stands
near the lake. The ghosts of the Grew
still man il, and on moonlight nights
the hunter who sees It hears a ban
shee wall, which means disaster, sick
ness or death to him.
One of the most romantic traditions
is of an Indian warrior, who loved the
favorite daughter of his chief. The
father looked higher for the maiden,
but the lovers ran off to the shores OF
Lake Drummond, built wigwam be-
meath its Expresses and lived 80 hap
PLY together until they we're both
very old that the Great Spirit allowed
them to revisit the earth every full
moon and ride on the lake in boat
drawn by white swans This Indian
myth bears an analogy to Lohengrin,
one of the most romantic ofthe Rhine
gold legends, the only instance of this
kind recall among the traditions of
the American aborigines Another
story is of an Indian lover who was
driven insane by the death of bis
affianced bride. This was related to
Thomas Moore when he was in this
country, and by him embalmed In
verse. The Indian warrior fled to the
lake of the Dismal Swamp and dis
forever, excepting at mid
night, when he, too, crosses the lake
with his sweetheart in white canoe.
Many people who live near believe
Lake Drummond to be the rendez-
vous for numerous other ghosts which
are supposed to haunt the swamp.
This supposition arose from the num-
Der of ignes fatui which are really
seen every night in almost every part

WISE WORDS.

Envy is culpable selfshness.
Persevere against Encouragement.
Tears are no sign of tender heart.
He who does most must bear most.
A man is known by the money he
keeps.
A woman's conscience lives in her
heart.
There is no slavery like the servi-
tude of pretense.
True charity does not give what is
asked but what is needed.
We lose more friends by our re-
quests than by our refusals.
Only mile-stones should answer
questions without being asked.
A woman is not really beautiful un-
til she is beautiful to blind man.
Lawyers work In the cause of JUS
tice; doctors in the cause of mercy.
The world may owe you a living,
but you will have to work hard to col

curiosity.
Time is that part of eternity al
lowed us to make fair showing in the
remainder.
Too many good people expect pie
when they say: "Give us this day our

1t is not wrong to say what one

what one cannot say.
The affections are like lightning;
you cannot tell where they will strike

Humane instincts will lead one to

Habit is a cable; we weave thread

l am told there are about 1000 saloons in
your city of Chicago. Now, allowing $25 as
the average daily receipts of every one Of
these places, the average daily income Of the
1000 would be S175, 900, and the amount OF
money spent in a year in these various
drinking places would reach the enormous
sum of $40 times s175, 900, or about S65 ,O00,-

Peat as Fuel.

In Friesland and other parts OF Hol-
land the 'black turf" is made into fuel
for brick-kilns, litter for stable, and
mould for mixing with sewage. Some
of it is exported to Bremen, Brunswick
and Belgium, and il is stated that $50, =
600 tons of the fuel, worth S665, 600,
are annually consumed thoroughout
the Netherlands. The Dutch canals
facilitate the transport Of the peat,
and as the subsoil Of the moors is al
ways cultivated after the peat is lifted,
the bNrges that take away the peat
bring back manure for the ground. At
Groningon, for instance, all the sew
erage of the city is applied TO the re-
clamation of the surrounding turf.
moors
In Denmark, where there is no
great supply of peat, it is chiefly used
by the peasants us fuel, or rs bedding
in the dairy farms. In Sweden, on
the contrary, there are bogs extend
ing for hundreds of square miles, and
of late years over 600, 900 acres Of the
moorland have been brought under
the plow. The peat is prepared as
fuel, and largely consumed in making
iron, glass, or brick, either alone or
mixed with coal and fir-cones. In
southern Sweden there are factories
solely engaged in manufacturing peat
fuel for sale, as its use is steadily in
creasing, and some 80, tons a year
are employed in metallurgical opera
tions.
In southern and central Sweden
there are some twenty factories for
preparing peat-litter and mold, each
factory turning out from 10, 900 TO 80,
900 bales year, fetching about fifty
cents apiece. The mould is used for
gardening in Sweden, while stufling
for mattresses or furniture, and sur
gical bRndages are made from the
white moss of the moors. In France
che peat is moulded into ''briquettes"
with tar and resin, teased into litter.
or woven into fabrics, which are used
in the army, in barracks and hospi-
tails, as blankets, mattresses, and sad
die cloths, or for stufIing cofferdams

washerwoman TO a Poet.

Surely few se-warmings a
house-warming is one of the most
memorable and significant of domes-
tic oelebrations-are likely to be re-
membered with more satisfaction and
pride than that which attended the
first occupancy of the dwelling Of Mrs.
Choate, of Amesbury.
She was the poet Whittiers washer
woman; and when by persevering in
dustry she had earned home for her
self and her family, he was one of the
foremost among the neighbors and
friends who organized the festivities,
and heightened the delight of their
hostess by leaving substantial tokens
of their regard, including a complete
set of furniture for the new parlor.
Mr.. Whittier was present among the
guests and made the speech of con.
graduation, concluding it with the
recitation of poem which he modest
ly described as piece of machine
poetry entrusted to him for the occa-
sion. 1t was his own, of course, an
it is given in full in his Life and
Letters" recently published. The
last three verses are as follows:
Thanks, then, TO Kate Choate!
Let the idle take note,
What their fingers were made for;
She cheerful and Jolly,
Worked on late and early,
And bought-what she paid for.
Never vainly repining.
Nor begging, nor whining;
The morning star twinkles
On no heart that's lighter
As she makes the world whittier
And smoothes out its wrinkles.
So, long life to Kate!
May her heirs have to wait
Til they're gray In attendance;
And her flatiron press on
Still teaching its lesson
OF brave independence.
Mr.. Whittier's early poems accord
ed, in his "Song of Labor" due
poetic honors to the professions of
drover, shoemaker, builder, farm
er and fisherman. 1t is pleasant
to find him also gracefully recogniz-
ing the worth of profession no less
useful and honorable, but less hon
ored. ''Long life to Kate" too, he
has doubtless secured, in transferring
her, fatiron and all, from the steamy
realm of the kitenen to the more ro-
mantic atmosphere of verse. Youths
