WHY HE WAS LIKE THE VENUS
DE MILO

He was in love with a young wOm-
an who lives on the west side, and
who never failed to entertain him on
the occasion of his frequent calls, but
the affair is broken off now.
On the occasion of his last call he
took particular pains to make himself
attractive, his avowed intention being
to tell his beloved of his alteration for
her. They sat for some time in the
parlor of her home, and then started
for a stroll in the moonlight.
After walking several blocks, dur
ing which time neither one had said
much, the young woman suddenly
stopped.
''You remind me of Venus de Milo"
she exclaimed
Thinking he had at last made the
desired impression, he smiled and
thanked her for the supposed compli-
ment. It encouraged him, and he pro-
posed on the spot, but his suit was
cody rejected.
On his return home he consulted an
encyclopedia, and was deeply chagrin-
ed to learn that the Venus de Milo
was without arms.-Chicago Journal.

TWO BIG SHOES
Built to Walk Across the Atlantic
Ocean

CHICAGO, Dec. PA special to the
Captain William c. Oldreive of Boston
has planned to walk across the Atlantic
Ocean. He will begin his journey July
4th, and will be accompanied by Captain
William A. Andrews of this city, famous
by reason of his voyage across the At
lantic in a small boat
ut is nothing new for Captain Old
reive to promenade the waves. That has
been his pleasure and profit for these ten
years. Captain Andrews, who is to be
the companion of the water pedestrian,
will journey in bran-new 14-foot SAIL
boat, and in this merely repeats feat
performed in 1897 and again In 1892.
Captain Andrews is really the man
who has brought about the whole affair.
Here is his own statement:
Incredible as it may seem, next year
we are going to walk and sail down Bos-
ton harbor, out to the ocean and over to
Havre, France, through the great bore
of the River Seine, and up to Paris to be
there to attend the exposition in 1900 in
our new sea-going shoes and smallest,
fastest and best boats that ever crossed
the Atlantic Oceun, tne THantOm snip
Every vessel we speak on the ocean will
report one of us walking and sometimes
towing the boat in calm weather."
The sea-going shoes of Mr.. Oldreive
are the most wonderful part of the whole
affair.
They are pair of cedar boxes five feet
long with fins on the bottom sides.
They are very light and capable of sus-
tanning 140 pounds, but, as Oldreive
weighs only 100, they are as good to
him as a steamers deck.

vESTIGATIoN TO DATE
No Quorum Present at the Regular
Meeting Last Night-Special
Session Tonight

A regular meeting Of the board of edu-
cation was to have been held last night.
but at the time for the beginning of the
session, 1880 o'clock, there was no quorum
present. Only Messrs. Conrey. Davis, Poor
and McInerny were in attendance. and
Mr.. Poor was made temporary chairman.
An adjournment until 8 o'clock was
ordered. At that time there was still no
quorum, and adjournment until this
evening at 7:15 o'clock was ordered.
The most important matter which was
to have been considered was the resig-
nation of Superintendent Of Buildings
and Janitors Axtell. This resignation
has been in the hands of Director Davis
for ten days and it would have been ac-
cepted had there been quorum present.
The bill of Bagley & Sexton, the stem
ographers who have been taking the
evidence at the investigation of the
school board scandal, was presented. 1t
is for s635.S0, that being the total cost of
the investigation to date. The contract
with the stenographers was for 20 cents
a folio, and up to the present time their
transcript of evidence has made S179
folios. This bill will be acted upon to-
night.
An application from the Classical
Teachers of Southern California for the
use of the high school building in which
to hold their annual meeting January
18th was in the hands of the secretary,
and this also will be considered at to-
nights meeting.

within three days Of his knowledge of
such improvements being made.
Hege's attorney assumed that his cli-
ent's ignorance of the law that he could
be held for his tenants unpaid debts for
such improvements unless such notice
was posted within the time specified en-
titled him to any defense in law obtain
able, technical or otherwise. On this
assumption the attorney set up the plea
that the lien had been filed for the net
balance due, whereas it should have
shown the full debt and all credits. The
full amount of debt incurred by Hege's
tenant was about $3.50. OF this $175 had
been paid and the lien filed by the lum-
Der company was for the balance, about
$275 The court held that because the
lumber company's lien, filed for 1915 did
not recite that it was for $3.50, of which
SITS had been paid, leaving balance due
of $275, the lien was invalid.
The point has never before been de-
cided in this state.

Cotton Workers Wages

FALL RIVER, Mass, Dec. 27.-The
latest proposition of the operatives and
the answer of the manufacturers have
again left matters in this city in rather
an uncertain condition. although by
many the outcome anticipated is an ac-
ceptance by the operatives, at least for
the present, of the reduction. 1t is a
request that the reduction be halved,
that is, 51a per cent instead of II, until
March 1st, when another conference is
suggested to consider the questions pre-
vailing at that time. The answer of the
manufacturers, decided upon by the
committee at a meeting today is the
rejection of the proposition, so there is
nothing for the operatives to do but ac-
cept or oppose the reduction.

A Bartender Throws Beer Glass With
Serious Results

A Bartender Throws Beer Glass With
Serious Results
J. H. Moshier, who is one Of the pro-
prietors Of the saloon at the corner Of
First and Los Angeles street, was ar
rested last night by Officer Ritch on a
charge Of assault. Shortly after 10
o'clock Moshier got into a row with a
fellow named Jack Kohler and threw a
heavy beer glass at him, which struck
on his head and cut deep cash over the
right eye.
Policeman Ritch was on the opposite
corner, and hearing the fracas, hurried
into the saloon. The place was full at the
time, but no one would say word about
the fight. and all denied seeing the glass
thrown. Kohler was sent to the receiv-
ing hospital. where it was found that
the outer skull was fractured. It is i'm
possible to say what will be the result Of
his injury. Kohler said that he was just
leaving the saloon after little dispute
with Moshier, and said something which
he could not remember, when the bar
tender threw a glass at him.
Moshier was arrested later, and
locked up. He denied all knowledge Of
the assault, claiming that Kohler had
hurt himself by falling upon the side
walk.
