Saved Him from Death.

The young son of Mr. and Mrs. Jo-

narrow escape from death yesterday af-

PUNISHED HIS WIFE SEVERELY.
Kenny Said He Found Her Where She
Should Not Have Been.

James Renney was arrested last night
on the serious charge of aggravated
assault and battery, preferred by his
wife, Kate Renney. The woman ap-
peared before Alderman Millar with
her face literally smashed from her
husbands brutal assault. A cash
where he kicked her in the head ex-
tended from the forehead over the left
eye and down into the cheek. The eye
was buried beneath the swollen flesh.
Renney admitted his guilt. He said
he found the wiman in a place where
no good wife would be and when he
asked her to 60 home with him she
refused. He first knocked her down
with his fist and then kicked her.
Alderman Millar held Renney under
$500 bail to appear at court. He fur
nished a bondsman.

holding communion with genius, past

The store has been opened for one week
and is the only one of it's kind in the

The Osteopath" for September CLOS
Angeles) a handsome quarto, is at hand
1t is expository of the new medical
school of osteopathy. 1t is very freely
illustrated. One paper gives this def
milton of osteopathy:
'Osteopathy consists of a series of
manipulations of the various parts of
the body, stimulating nerve centers to
action, removing pressure from them
along the lines of their distribution,
arousing nerve force and adjusting the
bones and muscular system. freeing the
circulation of the blood and other fluids
of the body, thereby equalizing the
forces in every tissue and organ so that
harmony is restored in every part of
the system. This method of curing
disease should not be COMPOUNDED with
that of any other. 1t claims no kim
snip whatever with massage, Swedish
movements, Christian Science hypno-
tism, nor any other method of curing
disease ever devised by the ingenuity
of man. II is based upon a thorough
knowledge Of anatomy of the human
system, which is viewed as a machine
constructed by nature and absolutely
perfect. system of treatment that
secures to the recipient, however weak
or helpless, the greatest physical act
WITTY and simultaneously securing to
the entire nervous system complete rest,
increasing thereby the circulation and
removing the flow of the blood to the
muscles and soft parts, removing ac-
emulation of tissue waste, which
causes resorption of cumulative trans
udatiVe infilteration and a separation of
adhesions in tendons, sheaths and

A Poor Guess.

A story too able, We fear, to be either
new or true, but none the less worth re-
cording, comes from one Of the great
Florida hotels. There is no need, per-
haps, of concealing the fact that the tale
comes from the Ponce de Leon, for that
house rather prides itself on being, next
to home, sweet home, the dearest place
on earth. Be that as it NAV, it is re-
ported that a young man who had been
two days at the Ponce de Leon on what
may as we'll be called a combination of
business and pleasure, since he was
counting a millionaire's daughter tenn
porarily residing there, went to the clerk
and asked for his bill. The clerk looked
at the young man carefully for a long
moment, then made out and handed
over a bill for S23S The young man did
not stagger or grow pallid He tossed
the slip of paper back to the clerk and
said: Guess again, you chump; I've
got more money than that."-New York

The Government Road.
Vacaville Renorter \


The Sacramento Record Union has
always been in the lead in the move
ment for good roads. It's editorials on
this subject are we'll worthy of con-
sideration. 1t is now urging the con-
struction of a roadway to the Yose-
mite National Park by the Government
1t is to be hoped that it will see the
accomplishment of its wishes AS it
truthfully says, the construction of
such a highway proposed, would in
crease the travel to the Park tenfold
and be an object lesson in the right
method of road building of incompar-
able value to the different counties
through which it would pass. It may
be years before we shall see such a work
completed, but believe it will be ulti-
mately. Let us hope that by that time
that people of California will have be-
gun the construction of permanent high
ways, by which travel may be facilitat-
ed to the neighborhood of the park
While we are waiting for the General
Government to do the work proposed
there is much for the people of Cali
fcrnia to do. While it must be recog-
nized that a beginning has been made
in fact it is only a beginning, chiefly
of value because of the promise of bet
ter things to come.

SANDWICHES.

The bread chosen for sandwiches
must be old enough to slice thinly. The
crust, of course. should be cut off and
the bread spread with butter or thick
cream or 'coralline" butter-fresh but
ter rubbed down with coralline pepper
till it is a rose color adding a few drops
of lemon juice-on this lay thinly sliced
cucumber or tomato, sprinkled with
pepper, oil and vinegar.
Mustard butter is good for sand
witches, the filling being made of lettuce
and thin slices of mutton or beef with
the second slice Of bread spread with
anchovy butter.
Anchovy or ham cream-that is, eth
er ham or anchovies mixed with thick
cream and seasoned with cayenne-is
excellent relish for a sandwich to be
made of chicken or veal the layer of
lettuce or cucumber not to be forgotten
Thick mayonnaise, whipped cream and
clotted cream are all nice with which to
spread bread.
Rather uncommon but delicious
sandwiches are made from thin brown
bread, spread with clotted cream, then
caviare and seasoned with lemon juice.
Mayonnaise may be used with water
cress, cucumbers, small cress or fish,
While Russian salad Cooked vegetables
mixed with chopped olives, capers and
filled anchovies, is especially good as "a
filling.
Sweet sandwiches are favOrites with
many. Jam, sieved to remove stones
and seeds, is spread on the bread and
butter or cream and bread. Grated
chocolate may also be used this way.
Some misguided persons think a sand
WITCH means two slices of buttered bread
with slab Of meat between. totally
forgetting that a sandwich is meant
to be eaten without the aid of knife
and fork and therefore a large piece of
meat is simply unmanageable All
sliced meat in sandwiches should be
broken into small pieces before it is laid
between the bread. If this is done the
distressing spectacle of hungry indi-
vidual taking first bite into a sand
Wich and having all the slice of chick
en- or mutton come at once will be done
away with.

presentiment that some danger threat
ened him.
The fire which broke out at the Hotel
Schwartzenburg, in 1910, at the time Of
his marriage to Maria Louise, caused
him many anxious hours Toward his
wife, too, he began to feel a bitterness,
which increased with years, and on one
occasion he went so far as to accuse
her of trying to do him harm. This
was when he was thrown from his
horse, the animal having become
frightened by a red dress which the
Empress wore.
Many mournful presentiments troub-
led him during the Russian campaign,
and in the work entitled Prophecies de
Napoleon" we read that a presentiment
of Saint Helena came to him on the eve
of The battle of Austerlitz. York
