His First Interview.

The late ex-senator Coke, of Texas,
though as rule taciturn and re-
served man, had sense of humor and
was something of diplomat. Shortly
after his appearance in the Senate here
years ago, he was approached by
newspaper correspondent for an inter
view on a leading question of that day.
The request had come from the home
office, as the correspondent explained.
"5it down, my young fr:end,' said
Mr.. Coke, sand tell me, the first thing,
if l can trust you."
The correspondent said pleasantly
that he regarded himself as safe risk.
why ask that" continued the
Senator, with smile, sis because
have confession to make. l don't
know much of anything about the
question you mention, but can't af-
ford to admit that to your newspaper.
/ take this request for my views as
compliment. I'm new man on the
scene, and an interview in as promi-
nent paper as yours will help to in
troduce me. l ought to have some
views. What do you know about the
question:
The correspondent replied that he
had read the bills recently introduced
bearing on the subject; had listened to
speeches in advocacy of them, and so
forth.
The Senator's face lighted up.
my young friend, do you want this
interview right away?"
mo, sir; it goes by mail. Tomorrow
will do.n
Then you 60 and get copies of some
of those bills and of few of those
speeches, and bring them here, and
we'll have conversation.
The correspondent agreed to this and
left the Senator 1t was an amusing
experience, but an agreeable one, be-
cause of the Senator and his cordiality.
The correspondent returned in an
hour with bundle of papers, and he
and the Senator went over them to.
gether. The Senator would put in
word, and then the correspondent
would put in a word. Finally the
Senator said;
"Now, you go home and write out
the interview and bring the copy here"
This also the correspondent did, and
upon his return his greeting was a
cordial one. Senator Coke read the
story twice over, repeating portions of
it aloud, and, then, handing it back,
said:
my young friend, we work in double
harness together admirably. That is
all right You may send it on to your
paper. Now, you stand up for me and
I'll stand up for interview"
The story was well displayed in
print, and it established friendship
between the Senator and the cores.

Senator Voorhees, RetOrt.

And there is story about Daniel

One day he was arguing case be.
fore an Indiana court and was dis.
pleased with ruling. He expressed
himself as astonished that man with
80 limited knowledge of the law
should have ever succeeded so far in
beguiling his fellow citizens as to Sc
cure their commission to sit on bench
for the trial of causes.
"The court will fine you 80 for con-
tempt of court, Mr.. Voorhees," said
the jurist.
Mr.. Voorhees, retort was quick and
crushing.
May it please the court, Your Honor
will have to name a sum Ear in excess
of that If the court wishes to make a
fine at all commensurate with the de.
gree of contempt l feel"
To be perfect story it should stop
right there. But in the cause of truth
it must be recorded that Mr.. Voorhees,
later apologized, and the fine was re-.

selected ratter, assuring Mr.. Travers
that the dog would go for rat quicker

The Perfect Horse.

DR.. R. S. Hiudekoper recently de-
livered in New York an interesting
lecture on the horse in the sale ring of
the Horse Exchange. The subject
matter dealt with the unsoundness of
the animal, such as splints, curbs
spavins. ringbones, etc., and few
general points for laymen on the cor
rect formation of horse. In a per-
fectly formed horse the length of the
head from the poll to the nose should
represent the distance from the wlthers
to the poiht of the shoulder; from the
posterior point of the shoulder blade
to the point of the pelvic bone, the
length of the pelvi; bone; from the
point of the shoulder to the knee, and
from the stifle joint to the hook. Clas.
sic unsoundness, such as splints and
spavins and curbs, are, according to
DR.. Hiudekoper, of comparative unim
portance in the cold blooded work
horse, as against similar ailments in
the highly bred running and trotting
horse, where every such disease acts
as detriment to speed.

More

Cur ative power is contained in Hood 8
Sarsaparilla than in any other similar
preparation. 1t costs the proprietor
and manufacturer more. 1t costs the
jobber more and it rs worth more to
the consumer. More skill is required
in its preparation and ii tcombines more
remedial qualities than any other
medicine. Consequently it has record
of more cures and its sales are .nore
than those of any other preparation.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best medi.
cine to buy because it is an honest
medicine and thousands of testimonials
prove that it does actually and per
manently cure disease.

The loyal Greeks of San Francisco, IN

another effort to help them by raising
fund to forward to Athens. The follow
ing appeal was issued yesterday by those
who sign it:
Incited by patriotic devotion TO tn cir native

engaged in Il desperate struggle against the
common enemy OF Christianity, are com PEELED

pose OF collecting funds and rendering such
reliel as may be in their power 10 those en-
gagged in the heroic struggle.
In view of the fact that Greece, to-day, sim
gle-handed and alone, is lighting the battle of
all Christendom against the Turk, we feel
justified in appealing TO you, and to others
who may sympathiZe with us, to come TO the
assistance of The Hellenic Christian Aid So

We therefore beg that you will, without de-
lay, take such action that may to you seem

Yachting, Cricket and Other Depart
ment of Amusements.
Tomorrow the California Yacht Club
will hold their annual regatta.
OF the large boats the Edna should win,
as she has shown great speed. Last year
she won the Wallace trophy, and it is ex-
pected that she will repeat her perform
ance.
The race between the Phnnicia and the
Flash should be interesting and exciting,
as last year the Flash won from the
Phenicia by very narrow margin.
The Phenicia has new suit of sails
and new rigging, and it is hoped this
will increase her speed materially.
The trophies offered by the CALIFORNIA;
are beautiful class flags.
The regatta committees OF the Encinals
and the Corinthians have selected the
10th OF June for the race for the San Fran
cisco challenge cup.
The start will be made at the narrow
gauge wharf, and the race will be sailed
over the Encinal course.
Admiral e. A. Won Schmidt has been
selected referee, and no better choice
could be made, as he is a thorough yachts
man.
Mr.. Moore, with a force of five men.
has commenced work on the new San
Francisco Yacht Club house foundation.
1t will be made on iron piles filled with
cement. The old piles will also beutil-
lied and cemented.
The Chispa was out last Sunday, but her
new sails require great deal of stretch.
ing before they will do her any good. Her
flying jib is a complete failure and would
not set, so it had to be taken in. She will
have another new one made in place
of it.
The La Paloma, in company with the
Sappho, took cruise up to the Brothers
last Sunday. The lug foresail on the La
Paioma was failure and had to be
taken in.
