THE TRUSTEES STATEMENTS
Causes q Howl Of Indignation Among
the Veteruns
II Sixty Per Cent Of Them Went On Ram.
page Santa Monica Would
Oct Sick

SANTA MONICA, Feb. 6.-The remar ks
of Trustee Thomas 81. Lewis at the last
trustee meeting, when he said that "6o
per cent Of the old soldiers who were
members Of the home here, were no
good before the war, during the war, or
since," has raised a howl of indignation
at the home and here. The truth Of
the matter is said to be that out of
over 100 members there are about
sixty chronic drunks. The rest are
well-behaved veterans and they. feel
aggrieved at the remarks quoted. One
old wag with mathematical propen-
stiles figured it out that 60 per cent of
the members Of the home amount to
over thousand men and that If they
started out on u rampage as alleged by
the gentleman sheol would be to pay
at the seaside resort.
The citizens of Santa Monica gene r.
ally repudiate the statement with equal
force, and thus the city solon has
placed himself between two fires.
Many of the people think that in JUS
tice to the veterans and to themselves
q resolution denying that such state
ments are held by majority should be
passed at the next meeting.
The subject naturally leads to the
Jail, which should be torn down and q
new one with proper sanitary regula-
tions erected In its place. It is crime,
as Justice Wells has said, to conflne q
human being in 1t.
Mr.. r. G. Gillis has purchased the
interest Of his partner, Mr.. E. B. Wood
worth, in the Outlook and is now the
sole proprietor. The public of Santa
Monica we'll knows the gentleman's
ability and loyalty to the city's inter-
ests. It Is his intention to add taking
features to the paper and to make II .
power, not only in the section wherein
it is published, but all over the south.
Mr.. E. B. Woodwork will remain With
Mr.. Gillis.

II. M. M. is deeply in love WITH
very charming young woman. They
have been engaged for about half a
year. H. NJ. NJ. is fond of quiet life
and thinls that his lady-fair should
like the things that he likes But she
has slightly changeable disposition.
as she has been engaged once before
and broke that engagement Her
friends, however, approved of the
course she cook She promised her
present intended that she would never
break the pledges she made to him.
But alas for the Inconsistency of wom-
an! she writes him that she has learnea
to love another, and has asked that
the affair with II. M. NJ. be broken off.
ITe is deeply grieyed, and while he has
consented to the severing of the rela-
tons between them, he insists on re-
serving the right to visit the young
woman and try to win her affections
back to himself. He has made ar
rangements for o farm, and now fears
he will not be able to find wife in
time to sake charge of it according to
his plans. He wants to know what
course is best Whether to try to win
the girl again and go to farming or to
give UP the farm and take up a pro-
fession. Answer: Long years of trial
and heart WEAKNESS have demonstrated
that love is one of those eccentric ar
ticles that is always doing just what
is nos expected of it. One thing is GER
tain, that it is almost useless to try to
win back lost love. 1t is done in books
very often, but in real life rarely. The
most sensible course is to make up your
mind that love that is not freely given
will never freely abide. Better ind
out before marriage that the younglady
is tickle than to wake up to 1t after
ward. AS to taking up the farm, it ap-
pears as though, having a good start,
it would be folly to give It up. Why
not stick to it and make success OF
it? Then you may have the satisfac-
ton of showing this changeable young
woman how much better she might
have done had she remained faithful
to her promises made to you.

POOR MEMS CAPITAL.

Richmond (Va,) Retormer:
Economy can not be taught in a
day, but comes by careful train
ing and practice. No man will
begin to apply the rules and prin-
ciples of economy until he has
first established in his mind that
something saved makes independ-
ence perpetual. A poor mans
capital is his muscles. He enjoys
an independence so long as he can
retain health and his muscles are
unimpaired, but in the event that
his health fails he is dependent
upon the cold charities of the
world, provided, however, he has
not economical and saved some
thing to supply his needs in the
hours Of atfiiction. If a man en-
gagged to work 365 days for $365,
and this amount is necessary to
keep him above want, in the event
that he is detained twenty-five
days he must suffer; but if he can
by sacrificing something during
the time he labors save SO he
can pay himself for the time OF
compulsory idleness and escape
extreme want. Hence by saving,
one buys leisure whether forced
or at will.

SOME THOUGHTS, REMINISCENT AND
PERTINENT.
There is no characteristic OF
human nature more desirable,
commendabie, Or more worthy OF
propa cation and emulation than
sincerity. It is the qnlntessence
Of fairness, the sign-manuel OF
square dealing, the stratum upon
which social compact rests; it IS
the credential Of honor. Open
pronounced aversion, antipathy
and disapprobation, are preferable
and unquestionably more deslra-
ble than hypocrisy, discrimination
and d,lplicity. In nothing IN the
realm Of human affairs does the
disposition to practice deception
and double dealing demonstrate
itself more apparently, or become
more evident and noticeable than
in politics. It's practice is readily
traceable, and the publicity it is
sure to develop, makes it more de
preciable and reprehensible.

Ard colored homes for mutes;

Leaning against the celored lamps,
Cry in all their colored dignity,
"Move on, you colored scamps y
I'd have our colored courts,
With colored judges and juries;
Hear the colored lawyer plead
Their cause in colored furies.
Would want colored prison,
And erect a colored Jail,
From which a colored prisoner,
Could jump his colored bail.
I'd have the colored laborer,
With hardy colored toll,
Do the colored jobs that's found
Upon the colored soil.
Would have our colored kings,
Aad have the colored queen,
And have colored statesmen guide
Colored nations all serene.
I'd have some colored histories.
To record our colored acts;
Then have our colored writers
Color all the colored facts.
I'd have our colored colors,
Aud have our color black;
Then have our color colored
BY some colored artist knack.
Would wish for colored farmers,
With colered stock for slaughter.
