SPRING ST. NOTE BOOK
BY S. B. ROSS

An easterner remarked the other day
that this city was az much in need Of
eastern patronage and eastern cash as
any city in the vert, even though it
was the most prosperous community
this side of the Missouri. But the old
saying that mans heart is best
reached through his stomach applies
in case like this as we'll as any other.
1t was the old cry-no hotels. This
city is full of "privete" hotels-over-
grown boarding houses, more properly
speaking-and that tells the story, so
far as the necessities of the average
tourist or season visitor is concerned.
The rates are extremely reasonable
too much 80. in fact, for wherever you
notice cheap rents or boarding prices
there you stumble across tho usual ac-
ompaniments-childr and much
noise. And these two circumstances,
one the corollary of the other, is not
exactly in harmony with the tastes
and desires of wealthy class who an
nually, and sometimes oftener, emf
CRATE from the inclement east, seeking
milder scenes and happier associations.
This town could support a hotel
built on the plans Of the Palace of San
Francisco, or the Baldwin, or after the
fashion of the Brown Palace of Denver,
which 1 consider the finest hotel on
the face of the earth. The impress
sions of the eastern plutocrat are not
apt to be of the highest character,
when he wanders out this way, perhaps
incidentally to invest surplus cash in
real estate or other avenues, and finds
hotels better suited to town of 5000
to 10000 than hustling municipality,

The cigar stores and saloons on
Spring street are we'll patronized-by
gangs of loafers, I mean. They are
there in full force every afternoon and
evening, each one bearing an unmis-
taxable badge of identity. An at
tractive young girl or woman, il she
anticipates passing through Spring
street, between First and Third, must
needs go through the ordeal of "brav-
ing Douglas in his halls" before she
accompanies the space. After dark it
is infinitely worse. 1t is the unwritten
rule in European cities, and the larger
American ones too. that ladies shall
not appear upon the streets after dark,
without male escort. I am certain
that if she were to attempt it here
in Los Angeles, at least in the bust
mess portion of the city, it would not
be long before she became aware of the
fact that such rule was in existence
here, also. Something in human
sense, analogous to q jackrabbit cru

A CURIOUS PEOPLE
BY n. DE LOPATECKI, PHI. D.

On the lower Danube and the out.
skirts of the Southern Carpethian
mountains there lives one of tho most
interesting peoples in the world, totally
different from the surrounding nations
and having nothing in common with
the Magyars who live in the west, and
with the Slavs who surround them in
the north, east and south. They belong
neither to the Teutonic nor Slovenian
races, they proudly repudiate the name
of Wsllachs, that is, strangers, which
their neighbors give them, and call
themselves "Romuni," and the Ian
guage which still echoes in their val
legs and hills is the same that once re-
sounded on the streets of the imperial
Rome. This strange people occupies
very important position between Rus
STA and Austria Hungary, and is des-
tined to play in very near future an
important part in the drama which
soon is to be played out on the Balkan
peninsula. The approaching dissolu-
ton Of the Turkish empire calls our
attention to that people-the modern
Roumanians, who, like the Bulgarisns,
are an obstacle on the path Of Russia
towards Constantinople. Roumanta
today Is in the same position that be.
longed once, in the other part of
Europe to Savoy. She can have for
her ally either the Russian car or the
Austrian emperor. and In all probable
ity she will join the latter. The polit-
ical situation on the Balkan peninsula
is SO grave, and the danger Of Bulgaria
falling under the protectorate of the
car so great, that Francis Joseph is
making strenuous efforts to form
coalition of his own with Italy, Eng
land and Roumania to help him to
meet this impending crisis.
The country Of Roumania, which
soon will bs before the eyes Of all the
world, formed in ancient times part
of Dacia. Trajan, the warrior emperor
OF Rome, penetrated the country to
the heart OF modern Transylvania and
defeated the Decians at Tapae, A. d.
1902. After establishing strong Roman
posts in the country. Trsjan repaired
to Rome to celebrate his triumph, but
he had scarcely reached the eternal

mania into prominence. It holds the
key to that part Of the world. and ID
the case of war it can put an army OF
100000 and more of well-drilled and
excellently armed combatants. No
wonder Roumania's friendship means
great deal; to Austria it means a.
most everything.

Origin of Straw Bail.

The origin of the familiar phrases,
STRAW BALI and man Of straw" is
most curious one. 1t dates back 200
years, when the practice of entering
worthless bail was common. The ex-
act methods have not been transmitted
e. posterity, but in several old English
rks is to be found reference to them.

time when English lawyers wished to
procure witnesses with elastic con-
sciences or men who would go bail for
their clients, they went into Westmin-

courts Of law opened, and there would
quickly recognize the men they wanted
by glancing at their shoes, from which
