An Aged Lady's Visit to Los Angeles and the

ANAHEIM, Feb. 25.-Grandma Rogers.
who has been resident of Garden Grove
about quarter of century and who has
Iive,i long enough to enjoy the loving pres
ence of several great grandchildren, dis.
turhed the monotony of her quiet life last
Saturday by attending the Masonic cele-
bration in Los Angeles. The good old lady
had not been in the Angelic city for about
her impressions of the sights she saw

wife seem tame. The great throng of peo.
pie, each one hurrying along as though half
an hour from home and only ten minutes
to get there il. amused the old lady great
folks stop stock IT'LL and stare at lot of
men marching up and down the streets,
with their wives winter hats and white
aprons on, nearly convinced Mrs. r. that
a good share of the worlds people, like
herself, had not been away from home for
twenty years or more. If the men who
were marching had been laughing our good
old friend could have understood their
coming out on the street with half their
wives clothes on; but they all looked very
dignified and as though they we're mighty
proud Of showing of somebody else's
clothes. But, critical az the old lady was,
she became inspired with burning desire
to see the world, and on Thursday morn.
ing of this week will start for the east in
company with her granddaughter, Miss
Jennie Rolfe.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. Tucker, after residence
of nearly thirty years on their ranch near
this place, left yesterday for their new
home on q stock ranch in Antelope valley.
Our midwinter is a continual, glorious
summer, which increases the prevailing
discomfort. Straw hats, linen busters and
summer drinks prevail.

Professor Frantz and Frank Eastman are

One Of the interesting incidents at

is the selection of the reading clerk Of

pointed BY the clerk of the house, but
candidates for the place must take
part in . competitive speaking con-
test" before the house. john A.. Reeve,
who was reading clerk during Harri-
sons administration. WIS q politician
from Cairo. Ill, and one Of the best
known characters In Washington at
the time. Reeve tells this story: = +
II didn't suppose I had any show for
the place when it came to the test" said
he, "for most or the candidates were
college men. and some were elocution-
lists. While this only elocution I bad ever
praoticed WAS calling hogs in Southern
Illinois, though had been able to get
up In political meeting and make the
fellows on the back seat hear me; 90

anyhow and do my best in my own way.
But you ought to have heard those elo-
cutionists. The way they rolled their
r's,and hfssed their s's and said 'ah' and
1-P was a cautiou! Some of them
didn't talk like human beings and 9TH
ers had voices so rich and melodious
you couldn't hear them 40 feet away.
"By the time my turn came I had
sized up the hall and knew just about
where to throw my voice. and deter
mined to make myself heard if did
nothing else. Each ca" 'idate had re-
ceived copy of hou. bill to read.
I noticed that the other fellows started
out this way. 'Uh bill,' and 90 on.
Now 'uh' Is sound that won't carry.
and you can't attract the attention of
the house by grunting 'Uhw So when
l started sang out in a loud, clear
voice that took them off their feet,
'A-s.a-a-s billv-long a. They weren't
used to that, and wondered what had
broken loose, but it seemed to catch
them. I saw I was on the right track,

bell, and when got warmed up felt
as good ss ever did in the hottest
speech of a campaign. -.
1.-THE thing they gave me to read was
terror. It had words in it as long as

through them and was doing pretty

saw lot of Spanish proper names.

TO INCREASE THE HEIGHT
The French liea Which Adds Several Zach,
to the Stature

The French liea Which Adds Several Inehes
to the Stature
Science has done much for suffering h1-
manity, but up to the present it has held
out no hope to the email man; it failed ut.
terly to add even fraction of q cubit to
his stature. And yet there lives not a
hundred miles from New York city hall a
man who can accomplish this miracle; aud
to his elegantly furnished fiat flc,:k hun
dreds Of those who want to rise suddenly
in the world.
There is nothing of the magician about
the ''heieht increaser''--to give hi % an ant
but rather clumsy title-and his methods
are likewise prosaic to degree. He holds
the patent for making specially shaped
cork blocks, which are covered with dark
yellow plush, and inserted in the boots of
those who wish to breathe at greater al.
titude. These blocks are composed of lay.
ers of cork, and are rounded nicely to III
the bottom Of the foot. They are made in
various sizes, OF course, and will raise the
wearer from one.half an inch to three
inches. g.
Persons who want to be full three inches
taller. however, cannot wear. ordinary
boois, for the excellent reason that the
latter would not close over q ,tI,Tee-inch
pad or "height-increaser." For ssucir as
pring folk a special pair of boots, with
very capacous insteps, is made, and for
them about S9 is CHARGED. A pair OF half
inch pads would cost 81, whlelfeS d three
inch pair more than $1 is asked. Very
few of the latter are made, tts sizes most
in request being those between one-haIf
and inch and two inches. Ihe profit of
these things, Of course, is enormeps. The
idea originated in France. 80 l,'.l
Not the least interesting part OF this
business ia that criminals use, the pads i'm

them also when playing The part Of very

that there are very many persons of both

THEY MADE RICH HAULS
Thieves Enter Houses in Northwest
at Early Evening.
Valuable Articles of Jevelry yyara
Taken at Two Places and the
Plunderers Escaped.

The Jewelry burglars continue with their
plunderings, but their fields OF operation
seem TO have shifted to another section
Of the northwest.
Two private residences in the Eighth
precinct were entered during the last two
nights and robbed OF ieweIry amounting
to nearly 500 each. A singular feature
OF both rObberies Is that tine thieves did
their work in the early part or the even
ing.
The scene OF the first burglary was at the
home OF Mr.. Adrian Watson, Pension
Office clerk, who resides at No. 1855
Harvard street northwest. Shortly after
dinner Saturday night MIR. Watson and
several other members OF the household
went out and were gone about three hours.
The thieves seemed to be aware that the
house was vacant and taking advantage OF
the occupants absence, gained an entrance
in some unknown way, sometime between
the hours OF > and 8 p. d.
The plunderers were evidently in favor
of "a gold staEdard,' as al OF the articles
taken were those made from the yellow
metal Mr.. Watson, upon returning home.
discovered that the following articles were
missing: One breast pin, a gold brooch
with pendant attached set with pearls,
and two god stick pins, one OF which was
designed as a daisy with a small pearl in
the center The other was in the form OF a
sr'slrr, with o mOonstone and pearl set
ting. asE9
-sething else in the house was taken. and
the thieves left no trace as to how they
affected an entrance or how they made
their exit.
The second robbery was committed last
night about O'Clock at the residence OF
Mrs George s. Hobbs, No. 25l6 ThiF-
teenth street mort Invest. Here the burglars
gained entrance through window in the
third story by first climbing upon the
roof at the rear part OF the building
When the thieves landed upon the third
floor of Ii house they BenttO the front room
and secured q gold watch valued at over
$50. Descending to The second story they
calmly walked TO the bureau in front
room, and pocketed a ladies' gold hunting
case watch, several dollars in money, and
a ieweIry case containing pendants, rings
ana cuff buttons The watch taken from
the third front story room was the property
of Miss Evans, a guest Of Mrs. Hobbs
The theft was first discovered by Mrs
Hobbs upon her entering her boudotr- As
soon as she discovered that she had been
visited by burglars. a telephone message
was Immediately sent TO No . station, and
several officers dispatched TO the scene
Wnen they arrived. however, the plunderers
had made good their escape
The police have both robbertes under
investigation, but as yet no clues have been
obtained.
