SANTA BARBARA, Dec 12-(Regu-
lar Correspondence Contrary to ugly
rumors that had leaked from the private
chambers of the courthouse, the grand
jury's report is devoid Of sensation. It
Is q string Of compliments from start to
finish, and no one, from judge to janitor,
Is missed. The only chastisement that
is administered reached the back of the
game warden, and Of him and his office
the report says: The Office of game
warden was created by the supervisors
for the protection and preservation Of
the game and fish of this county. The
grand Jury does not think it consistent
with the proper performance of the
functions of this officer, nor In harmony
With the spirit Of the law under which
he acts for the game warden to be en-
gagged in hunting for market. We find
that the present game warden has not
only practiced pot-hunting for his pri-
vate profit. but has been so engaged at
the very time when numerous and pub
lie complaints were being made at the
illegal shipment Of game out of the coun-
ty thereby neglecting the duties for
which he Is paid by the county and
showing that he lacks a right conception
of the duties Of his position.

Whiskers for a Pillow

That history repeats itself has just
received another proof. Some years ago
the men Of a Bavarian regiment, of
which Prince Macmillan was chief, in
order that they might show their devo-
ton to him, cut off their mustaches and
sent to them to the princess, who had
just become mother, that she might
use them as pillow. Something very
like a repetition of this has just taken
place at Rappolstweller, in Alsatia. The
chief Of the fire brigade was a few days
ago presented with his first child, boy.
The firemen thereupon called a meeting
at which it was decided to make the
baby boy an honorary member of the
corps, and the men subsequently cut
off their mustaches and boards to form
the stuffing of red velvet pillow for
the baby's use.

Los Angeles taxpayers were not to be
