Six months ago she tried to drown
herself in Portland by jumping into the
river in the presence of crowd. She
was saved, and purse was raised to
get her out of town. Then she turned
up at Redding, where she made feeble
attempt to hang herself to q trestle.
Again she was rescued and purse was
raised TO send her on her way. In Oak
land she created sensation by annOunc-
ing during storm that she was going
to walk to Los Angeles. She started
out bravely enough, but when she got

hang herself to bridge. This did not
work well, so she waded into stream,
where she was soon discovered. The
good people of Haywards provided
bountifully for her, aud she was brought
back to this city. The usual purse was
raised, and she was shipped on the over
land south. At Los Angeles she created
the usual scene by attempting 10 drown

shipped on until she managed to make
her way to New Orleans, where she has

The American people have genius for

fasten to men In the public eye are often
remarkable for the subtle shades OF dis
like admiration, ridicule or affection
which they express. The British soldier
is content to refer to the queen as The
Wildly. The American people have done
better by their Presidents. They have
been lavish from the first in the bestowal
OF presidential nicknames, many Of
which have been both picturesque and
imaginative. Some one may claim that
this tendency In regard to our rulers Is
the mere survival Of a far tradition. For,
