His Threat.

A little colored boy, the grandson OF
an old servant in a New England fam
lily, was a constant playmate of the boy
of the house, whose parents were par
ticularly anxious that their child should
treat his colored companion with gen.
tleness. They were so anxious, in fact,
that the little negro acquired habit OF
running to his playmate's mother with
any trouble which may have befallen
him, sure of her protection. One day
the two boys were snowbaIling, and in
some way or other the negro received
an especially damp and 'sloshy" snow
hall in his face, though it had been
aimed at his back. "You better look
out, William Percival!" he cried, turn

In the Dark Ages,

As early as the sixth century the
woman question was knotty problem
puzzling the wise men of that period,
Are Women Human Beings?" was the
startling inquiry proposed by bishop
at the famous council of Macon, and
several sessions were devoted to the con-
sideration of the important subject,
The point was not considered jocular
or frivolous, and the good fathers ear
nestly and gravely undertook the task OF
assigning to woman her proper place IN
creation. They finally decided that she
did not belong to the world of mutton,
besves or goats" but was, in reality, a
human being. This decision was made
only after something of struggle. As
it. was not an ecumenical council, the
faithful were advised that the decision
| was not binding on them.-Cincinnat

species of insect has been known to

MUSIC NOTES

An exceptionally enjoyable concert
was that given last evening by c. s. Cor
nell and assisting artists in the Southern
California music hall on Third street.
Seldom II ever has Mr.. Cornell been
heard to better advantage here. His num-
bers were exacting in various ways and
he met their requirements with musi-
cianly and artistic workmanship. Per-
haps the finest effort Of the evening was
his first, the recitative and aria from
Haydn's Creation. Rolling in Foaming
Billows." Mr.. Cornell treated the song
with reverence, his nuances were care
fully regarded and his phrasing, enun-
citation and tone production adequate.
In group of Schubert songs later on
Mr.. Cornell again scored good points,
and the mezzo 'voce he employed in Am
Meer" was beautiful. Another group by
Neidlinger, Beethoven's Prayer of PEN
itence." and his share in four concerted
numbers was an ordeal which would have
tried any singer, which Mr.. Cornell
passed through with credit.
In male quartette, ITO Adelaide" by
Krebs, sung without accompaniment,
Mr.. Cogswell carried the air and dis
played rich, mellow baritone voice and
refined, clear diction. Mrs. Kimball-
Wuerker sang the weird "Synnove's La
ment," by Kjerulf, with her accustomed
ease and intelligence, and she and Mr.
Modini-Wood contributed no little en-
joyment to the trio with Mr.. Cornell
from Verdi's Attila "Te Sol Quset An
ima." Mr. Wood was also heard to ad-
vantage with Mr.. Cornell in duet from
Mendelsshons, "I Would That My
Love-" in which their voices blended
agreeably and harmoniously.

though to the uninitiated the entries
Of John Love Cunningham make finer
show. Juanita, owned by Mr.. Love,
was much admired by the crowd, and
was SO satisfactory to the judges as to
be decorated with the blue ribbon in
her class.
The fox terriers make fine show in
themselves. Besides the noted Ruby

s. Casey has very likely dog in Bev-

siderable attention. Golden Flash III.

Among the novelties those which at-
tracted the most attention are the pair
OF Barzois Russian wolf hounds, owned
by e. Petrie Hoyle of Ell Toro. These
dogs were imported directly from the
kennels of his imperial highness, the
Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia.
BY far the ugliest dog in the show is

FRENCH COMEDY
Discussed Last Night by the Ebell
Club

The drawing room section Of the Ebell
society held a very interesting session
last evening, the subject discussed being
French Comedy" A paper under this
title was admirably presented by James
B. Scott. The speaker touched princi-
pally on the satires of Moliere, those
plays showing the hypocrisy of his day,
of society and the church. The plays
were outlined by the speaker, sketches
of the plots given, and the treatment
and technique of the work entertaining
ly presented. A little sketch of Mohere
and his domestic life was given.
The school of French writer's follow
ing Moliere was also discussed. OF them
Mr.. Scott said, though they displayed
spirit, wit, technique, yet none of'them
possessed the literary style of Moliere,
who was the greatest comedian the
world has ever produced. In closing the
speaker touched on the modern school
of French writers-Dumas. Sardou-
the romantic school, with classic tradi-
tions, written in modern spirit The
French have never lost sight of the
fact that there is something better than
money to be gained; the French artist
has high ideals. He believes in art for
arts sake, litera ture for literature, the
necessity for lasting expression and re-
fined and poetic feeling.
