In civilized life the instinct of avoid
ance ia by TO cams so defined, but uey,
,ertheless it is distinctly noticeable.
Everyone who has ever been q stranger
in strange land has ut some t;iae felt
that depressing sense of isolation.

fashionable they receive scant atten-

'There is no place so trying" de-
clared Washington belle, land so hui
initiating as New York asssemblage of
slight acquaintances. II costs so little
to be polite, one would think; but Of
all ill-bred, indifferent, disagreeable
people ] think roomful of New York
girls takes the precedence"
This is very strong charge, but in
measure it is deserved by our fash
ionable people. who are certainly very
indifferent to strangers and not over
civil. How different from Anglo-Saxon
rndeness are the kindly ways of the Ger
mans. To them a stranger is a guest
and is treated as such by all present.

more; but it puts timid girl wonder

The women are equally kind and in
variably make point of showing cour-
teous attention TO an outsider. II seems
a pity that the same genial manners
cannot be more universal, and that the
true courtesy which springs from a
kind heart and intrinsic good breeding
is not oftener met with in society. IN.

names the attempt to murder as one
of the crimes which subject the per-
son charged with. it to extradition; so
if the Spaniards demand the fugitive
it is difficult to understand ON what
ground the United States can refuse to
give her up. In regard to those who
aided her in her escape, their extrad1-
ton might be demanded under para
graph Z of article II. of the same con-
vention, but this is doubtful. At any
rate this would not include the Offend

NOW HE USES A KNIFE.
He Discovered His Wife's Little
Ruse and Evaded 1t.

George c.. Boniface has not been feel
ing in the best of health lately, and his
wife has attributed it to excessive
smoking.
The actor, being particularly fond of
good cigars, denied this vehemently,
and vowed, with mental reservations,
that he only smoked three cigars day.
Not being able to prove to the con-
trary, his wife, like a wise woman, said
nothing. Subsequent events, however,
proved that this did not cause her to
cease thinking.
Last week the comedian had birth
day. and his wife presented him with
watch charm in the shape of cigar
cutter. 1t was cute little thing, and
to prove his appreciation of the gift he
used it vigorously the first day The
next morning his wife asked:
How many cigars did you smoke
yesterday
Three" was the reply.
Thirteen, you mean," was the re-
joinder.
There was something in the tone OF
his better half which caused the actor
to think he had better temporize, and
so he said:
We'll, as yesterday was my birthday
perhaps I did exceed my allowance by
one or two, but 1 am certain | did not
smoke thirteen"
"Oh, but you did; no more nor no less
1 know it, and can prove it,"
''How?'
That's my secret. And now promise
me that you will limit yourself to three
to-day"
Of course he promised, again with
mental reservations, and then he went
into the woodshed to think it over.
Recalling the events of the previous
day, he found that thirteen was about
the right number, and it didn't take
him long to connect his new charm with
his wife's knowledge. A close examina-
ton of the innocent-looking little thing
proved that it was register as well
as a cutter.
And now dove-colored peace broods
over the comedians household and a
loving wife trusts her husband as i'm
plicitly as of yore.

THE LOCAL BEAT SUGAR MOVE
MENT.

A citizen of Stockton writes 10 the
Mali of that city setting out in de-
tail the adaptability of the alluvial
lands for the raising of the sugar beet,
the cost of such culture and the reason
able profit upon it, which he shows to
be very gratifying He points out the
gain to the community of such indus
Try, the probability of its resulting in
the estab ablishment of a sugar factory in
Stockton, etc.
Upon this letter the Mail comments
with vigor. What it says is applica-
bic to this community, not only to the
city but all the surrounding country.
We therefore reproduce the letter to
which the Mali article refers. and a
portion of the comments of our con-
temporary, simply saying to the people
who are concerned for self-interest,
that what is said Of Stockton fits this
locality to a nicely. The Mali says:
We earnestly ask the business-li
attention Of every man who has any
interest in Stockton's welfare to the
communication from Mr.. Corcoran.
A very little outlay of money
and labor will put US in the way
of great gain. We utterly refuse to be-
lieve that the business men of Stockton
VIII refuse to make that outlay. 1t is
not possible that city of this size does
not contain enough shrewd and alert
men of business to push this matter
to success. There is not a town Of one
thousand population in Southern Cali
fornia which would not organize and be
at work before sundown.
If this beet culture movement is earn
estly taken in hand, if four or five
thousand acres are taken from wheat
raising to be given to beet-growing, the
enormous good effects felt next year
will advance the value of every bit
Of property in this town and will add
to the profit side of every business
mans ledger It will be just like
doubling our manufactures.
A city which would deliberately
throw away such chance of gain
ought to be fenced in so that no rude
footsteps could disturb it's hallowed re-
pose and no unfeeling hand gather the
long moss from its peaceful and lux
uriant back. We refuse to believe that
Stockton is such a city. that it is so
eminently weary; that it is mere
messy wart on the back Of the great val
ley. We do not believe it. If we did
we should go out to the cemetery and
throw racks at the tombstones in the
hope of raising a few indignant remains
with life enough in them to make things
pleasantly lively by contrast with the
unburied defunct at large.
