EGOTISM

Egotism, or, properly speaking, ego
ism, is, in a sense, the salvation of man
when it is cultivated in all aItruistic
spirit, but when one exalts himself in
his own estimation above his fellows
and considers 1t something of con-
descension on his part to put himself
in contact with them, he encourages a
spirit of separateness that Is sure to
lead him into all sorts OF humiliatng
situations The altruistc command that
one shall love his fellows as he loves
himself, removes all restrictions and
permits one to magnify his own import

4 MAIL BOX ROBBER
Comes Into the Police Station and Gives
Himself Up

Dirty, bedraggled, vermin infested and
with the wild and haunted look of G
maniac. Charles Browning,a a man of per-
haps IS years of age, came into the po-
lice station at lis this morning and
asked to be locked up as he had broken
open an United States mail box on Fri
day night. Although the police clerk,
Judge Bean, did not know it at the time,
Browning's story was true, for some
time during Friday night the mail box
at the corner of Upper Main and Alpine
streets was smashed to pieces and sup
posedly robbed.
Browning said he broke the box with
a pick, but took nothing from it, there
being only one letter contained which
he did not disturb, his only object being
to do something which would enable
him to stop for time in jail The o;H-
GERS failing to show up on his track as
soon as expected, he concluded to come
around and surrender himself He
seemed mentally unbalanced, and asked
the officers to shoot him and put him out
of misery.
About month ago he was arrested as
vagrant for sleeping In boxcar, but
released on f1Oater. Since that time
he has had no work nor money and had
become desperate and hungry. The I'M
fortunate fellow was provided with a
bed for the night and the truth OF his
story as to being the mail box destroyer
will be investigated today. The postal
authorities have already set on foot an
investigation. thinking of course, the
box had been looted of it's contents. No
collection had been made on New Years
day from II e.. m and it is thought that
the box must have contained more mat
ter than single letter.

ENGLISH COMMENT.
On Missouri's Proposed Prohibition ef
Football.

1t seems that in Missouri football play
stand that marbles are to be regarded as
petty larceny, and tip-cat and hopscotch
as gravely illegal. 1t Is strange to find
an American state SO far behind this
effete and played-out old country in this
matter. So long ago as the year 12l0
the game was denounced by Edward III,
and this was long before America had
discovered Columbus-or was 1t the
other way about?
Later on Henry Nv. in 14o1. tried to
suppress the game, and, Of course. that
most religious and gracious monarch,
Henry VIII, defender of the faith, found
time between his active duties of MUIR
dering wives and. stealing from the
church to make similar attempt. But.
Of course, he failed so far as the game
was concerned, however succe ssful he
may have been at murder and, robbery.
Then Good Queen Bess" had a 60 at
it and did her best to suppress the game
by threats of imprisonment-all to no
good. James I.-that doddering and
sIobbering nlonarch-also tried to put
It down. He was found to be horribly
Off-side, however, and the game -four

A GOOD YEAR

All things considered, Los Angeles has
no cause to complain of the year 1896.
While other cities suffered great depres-
sion and even financial distress, the
worst that happened to this city Was a
slight decrease in the amount of building
operations and a corresponding and con-
seqrent reduction in the total of bank
clearances. While the figures as given
in the statistics show decrease as COM
pared with the year before, they are
yet of such dimensions as to command
the admiration of older and larger cities
in the east, ard comparison with them
would yet be much to the advantage of
Los Angeles. The principal cause of the
decreased figures referred to is found
III the fact that 1895 was phenomenal
year for building operations. tank clear
ances and other transactions; there was
a veritable boom, though it was a heal
thy one.
AS was to be expected in presidential
year. railroad business suffered, and this
was felt u some extent in Southern CAL
ifornia, but despite that fact, SO conf
dent were the great transportat ton COM
panies that the depression was but tenn
porary that they expended large sums
In bridges, new tracks, and other bet
terments. If eastbound shipments fell
off, it was because the eastern consum-
ers had not enough money to buy the
luXuries and the necessities produced
by this favored land, and if the number
of winter visitors is found to be less than
last season the cause can be found in
much the same condition.
In brief, if there have been any short
comings in Los Angeles and in Southern
California, the causes thereof must be
looked for elsewhere.

there is no reason why business should
not be active. In Los Angeles the con-
ditions are decidedly favorable to a sat

well circumstanced. and every banking
institution in the city is ready to lend
money to any one who has the credit of
a first-class borrower. In short, there
is not a single element in the local busi-
ness world that is discouraging, except
that the people do not launch out and
push things. 1t is not a question of Nc
Kinleyism but question of our peoples
making up their minds to do business.

POLICE COURT CASES
Embezzler Held on Another Charge.

pleaded guilty to stealing shoes from
two Of the big downtown stores. On
one charge he got ninety days straight;
on the second $50 or sixty days. Frank
will know better next time. His pal,
who assisted in the robberies, has made
good his escape.

trial being set for Monday.

A DREAM.

On. It was but dream I had
While the musicians played
And here the sky and here the glao
Old ocean kissed the glade;
And here the laughing ripples ran,
And here the roses grew.
That threw kiss to every man
That voyaged with the crew.
Our silken sails in lazy folds
Dropped in the breathless breeze,
AS Ger Q field of marigolds
Our eyes swan Ger the seas;
While here the edoies lisped and purled
Around the islands rim,
And up from out the underworld
We saw the mermen swim
And 1t was dawn and middle day
And midnight for the moon
On silver rounds across the bay
Had climbed the skies Of June
And here the glowing. glorious king
OF day ruled DER the realm,
With stars of midnight glitterinS
About the diadem.
The seaguil reeled en- languid wing
In circles round the mast;
We heard the songs the sirens sing
AS We went sailing past
And up and down the golden sands
A thousand fairy throngs
Flung at us from their flashing hand
The echoes of their songs.

besides, there is no occasion for rejoic-
