SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
COnyrfphted by Memo.

The ground beneath our feet is al
ready restless with the thrusting vigor
of seeds whose mysterious and resist
less power is compelling the soil to
give up it's dead to live again. Our
every footstep is logged with the tire
less tasks of earthworms and insects,
tunneling in all directions that the soil
compacted by the winters storms may
be in reach of the life-impelling infiu
ences of air and warmth. Invisible en-
ergies are crying aloud to the hillsides
and to the valleys, to the creatures that
hibernate and to the birds that migrate,
TO insects and to grubs. Let there be
lfe!" and there is life, SO pervasive that
though we fly to the uppermost desert,
it is there though we bury ourselves in
the deepest mine, it is there.
The glory of green flung suddenly
over sober fields and naked trees, the
futter Of busy birds twittering and
whistling of love and defiance, the sub
tie odors of flowers and of grasses-all
unite to thrill the senses, until the
healthy heart is filled with the same
universal JOY of living. The blind can
feel the change, and the deaf can see
it, every living thing answers the sum-
mons. The heart of the young grows
light, for is it not the time of listening
to the birds and of gathering flowers a
hand? The sluggish blood of the aged
courses mere freely again and the de-
vout heart swells with gratitude for one
more spring in the World Beautiful"
Even the room of the invalid becomes
the home of unsefish pleasure at the
thought of the merriment and sunshine
that fill the world.
But there is a message to the reason
and an appeal to the soul in springtime
far transcending any qualification of
the senses. 1t explains at once to us
the almost delirious joy with which the
season is greeted. What is it? The
real recognition-in some cases, instinc-
tive; but none the less real-that for the
time being life has triumphed, though
the earth for months has lain in the
valley of the Shadow of Death Life
out of death; victory out of defeat, new
energy fed by the things that have per
ished This is the joy note of spring
y
Viewed in one way, the gloom and de-
preston Oh deatH Is over everything
mundane. 1t is sad enough picture,
yet needful to remember in order to
gain the full lesson from the new life
now swarming in earth and air and
sky IT is unsafe to assert that there
are things the Almighty cannot do One
thing, however, is certain: He has
never yet made living creature with
a material body that lasts forever AS
soon as the elements of living things
are gathered together the conflict be-
tween life and death begins, with ulti-
mate victory completely assured for the
latter. Everything that lives is bat
tleground for forces that are doing their
best to send it back dissolved into its

George Holloway's Serious Injuries
on a Crowded Car
George Holloway, of Pasadena, who is
lieutenant of Company 80, Uniformed
Rank knights of Pythias. met with an
accident yesterday afternoon while re-
turning from an excursion to Santa
Monica. 1t was found necessary to am
putate his right foot. The return trip
from the beach was made on the electric
line. The car was so crowded that Mr..
Holloway was unable to get seat and
he sat down on the foot board on the
head end of the car. AS the curve in
the track near Sherman was rounded
the car gave sudden lurch and he lost
his balance and fell off the platform. A
bank at the side of the track threw him
back in such way that both his feet
were crushed under the wheels.
The car was stopped as quickly as
possible and the injured man was taken
aboard. At Sherman telephone mes
sage was sent to the railway company's
surgeon, DR.. F. K. Ainsworth. of this
city. The doctor found the patient $
feet both badly crushed and advised that
he be taken home on the same car to
avoid causing unnecessary pain by a
transfer to another. This was done,
and in the meantime DIR. Ainsworth
dressed Mr.. EIolloway's injuries.
At Pasadena Mr.. Holloway was taken
to DIR. Hodges hospital. where his right
foot was amputated about four inches
above the ankle by Drs. Hodge and
Dalrymple. 1t was also necessary to
amputate the large toe OF the left foot.
At last accounts the sufferer was doing
well.

The fellow who had stolen the pin gave
his name as Frank Washington. Wher

A CONSPIRACY SCENTED
A Rope Found Dangling From Win
dow at the Citv Jail

Considerable excitement was caused
at the police station yesterday morning
by report that some prisoners were
escaping from one of the upper tanks.
There was q general scramble in the di-
rection indicated. officer Robbins was
the first upon the scene and discovered
a string made by strips from a towel
dangling to the ground from one Of the
upper windows. 1t was not a rope, how
ever, upon which any one would have
dared to trust his weight.
The prisoners at the jail end of the
string stated that they had only let
down the string to some children play
ing in neighboring yard, whom they
were trying to induce to send up some
matches to them. The police believe
that their purpose was of more serious
nature and that something more dan
gerous than matches was to have been
smuggled into the Jail through the as
sistance Of outside confederates. The
offenders were locked In the dark cell.

mine will so ahead under the present

thousand dollars is the sum involved in
the settlement and satisfactory assur-
