Camping Out.

At this particular season of the year the
greater part Of the population in order tc
regain physical poise and gather nervous
energy for the wear and tear Of rapid vii
lage life, seek lodge in some vast wilder.
! noos, ~. r...on they have Oh'd for long
time, and placidly fight mosquitoes and
rheumatism through as many weeks OF
months as professional and business cares
will permit.
The whole world seems to be as tired al
tramp and every day fresh contingent'
start out for CREST" which some of them
attempt to secure by that species of slow
torture known as visiting-apparently un-
aware that labor in the mines is by nc
means so wearisome to most people as 9
ceaseless effort to be agreeable.
The majority, however, wisely encamr
by the shores Of lake or in some deer
woods, and tor few weeks lead the free
and untrammelled existence from which
missionaries have long been trying to
rescue the native habitants of the country.
Laying aside all artifcialities but their
hair and teeth, the campers come down to
the natural order of things, lose their city
pallor and acquire hue that taken in con-
nection with their reports of piscatorial
pursuits would seem to proclaim them Of
Spanish extraction.
Toilet becomes a matter Of no especial
moment so long as the ornament of meek
and quiet spirit is constantly worn and the
STANDARD Of wealth is figured mainly on a
basis of fish hooks.
After a reasonable amount of this simple
order Of things they are usually ready to
return to collars and cuffs and daily toll
and accept with resignation the undoubted
fact that while it may not be all Of life to
live, it is the biggest part Of it to get a
living.

"reminiscences of Grafton.

After my former chapter of "Reminis.
cences" was published waited to see il
any one had read them, when a young man
from Saxtons River sent me a postal to
say he had read and enjoyed them. Re.
Gently friend of mine visited Grafton fol-
a few hours one afternoon and wrote to
tell me how many people spoke to her
about that letter of mine in the TIMES, one
man saying 1t was worth 1926 to him;
don't believe he is ''16 to l, forty-cent
dollar silver man."
Well, one of the first sad duties l had in
Grafton was the funeral OF some woman
across the river near Deacon Wier's, Sum-
day afternoon in the church, and the Con-
gregationalists came over to hear ''that
fellow from down below" as Russell Stiles
called me. A few days after, that goo,i
man, Stillman Eaton, took me in his cutter
to funeral of man who lived off in the
field back of the walker Boys" IT,
house was full and tried to preach the
gospel to them and Mr.. Eaton raid 1 di'
so. All that first spring and summer i
cared but for little else than to make Chris
tians better and to have sinners converted
My worldliness came on later. l remer,-
Der talk, soon after / settled there, that
had with William G. Wyman. Of cour-e
he was business man with an eye all the
time on the main chance in his brsincss.
He told me what good Christian woman
his mother was and some way he hoped ner
piety would help him through. Later he
was under deep conviction for sin the road
of his l;fa oop,o fo tho div,do IN tho riubt
or to the left. 1t was fierce struggle in
his heart for many days; he did not then
yield to Christ. He was not the only mi
in Grafton with that experience. l coull

INSANE ON THE DESERT
Three Little Children Lost With Theia
Demented Parents

| Mr.. and Mrs. A. +. Vonerda are the
| names Of the couple who went insane on
the southbound San Francisco train at
Mojave on Friday. The couple and three
children got on the train at Lathrop on
Thursday and had not gone far before tho
woman developed signs of insanity. They
had tickets in the Pullman, but got into
the tourist car. The woman became so
violent that she frightened all the peopls
and drove them into the Pullman. She
claimed that there was a conspiracy to
rob her of the children. Her husband be-
came violent too, laboring under the same
hallucination. Finally they were trans.
ferred to the Pullman, where they contir-
ued with their crazy demonstrations. Fri
day, shortly after leaving Mojave, the
woman suddenly grabbed one of the child
ren and jumped off the train at a small
station, her husband following with the
other children. They struck wildly across
the desert. but as the train could not wait
they soon disappeared from view.
l. N. Elder an expressman Of this city.
is connection Of the Vonerdas, and he
called on Chief Glass last night and showed
letter he had received from vonerda The
writer was evidently insane and told a
rambling tale about how he had discovered
conspiracy to rob them, but they had
| frustrated it. He added that they would
come to Los Angeles, and see If they could
rot get better rates to Portland, where
they were going, than in San Francisco,
He enclosed three tickets from Oakland to
Portland, which he asked Elder to keep
for him. Vonerda formerly resided on a
ranch in Orange county and left here with
his family few weeks ago to go to a
town i'm Washington. He bought tickets
in San Francisco for Portland, but evil
IDENTIFY became insane when he reached
Gauit, near Sacramento, where the letter
was written.
Chief Glass wired the Mojave officers to
apprehend the crazy couple, as they would
be sent for from here

from Madrid received this morning say
that Senor Gullon, the foreign minister,
having received important kilograms from
Washington, Immediately went to the resi-
dence of Senior Sagasta, the premier,
where a prolonged interview was had.
Senor Gullon then went to the palace.
where a cabinet council was held, and the
prime minister impaired the contents of
the kilograms. He said that ambassa-
doris of the powers had asked Spain to
grant an armstice with view of allow
ing negotiations for settlement of the
whole question.
The council had long and anxious dis
cussion, during which Senor Sagasta went
out and consulted the queen regent, and it
was finally decided to grant an armistice,
which should last five days, upon the fol-
lowing conditions:
THAT the United States should imme-
support to the Cuban insurgents; that the
American squadron in the vicinity of Cuba
should be withdrawn, and that the Amer
lean war vessels near the Philippine islands
also should be withdrawn
If the United States decline these, 1t is
declared the powers will openly lend their
support to Spain.
The correspondent in Madrid of a news
agency here says that if the insurgents
shall not have laid down their arms by the
end of five days, the war will be resumed,
and Spain will receive the moral support
of the powers.

ACTOR TOWNSEND ARRESTED
He Was Going to Elevate Pasadena
Drama

Harry Booth Boyle Townsend, the dis
ciple of Thespius and delineator of Simon
pure Demosthenean elocution without the
pebbles, will paint the town red no more,
as the poor old man was sent to the police
station last night on a charge of insanity
He caused considerable excitement along
the line Friday night by visiting the Van
Nuys hotel and ordering the best suite in
the place, but when his baggage, consist
ing OF small bundle, arrived, he was
promptly bounced. He tried the same
dodge at the Nadeau, and was escorted
out. The man is not responsible for his
actions, as finances has gone to his head
in other words, he thinks himself possessed
or two millions, when in reality he is moth
ing but broken-down actor, wearing an
"ice cream freezer" a couple of months
ahead of the season.
Townsend was not arrested Friday night
after his escapades, and yesterday he
passed few hours in Pasadena waking
up the millionaires and painting the town
lur1d tint. He struck a popular chord by
announcing that he proposed to rent the
opera house there, level the four walls and
give grand out-of-door production of
las You Like It," just as the Bard of Avon
would have liked it. This production would
require at least rs male stars and rs female
stars, not including soubrettes, juveniles
and ingenues. There would also be several
cords OF trees, Adgie and her tame lions.
Anna Held and her complexion cows, not to
mention Monarch, the grizzly bear, and a.
vast quantity of supers. The prospects of
such an elevation of the drama were so al
Turing that one and all of the waiter girls
threatened to strike and iOin forces with
the new company.
Townsend also represented to Manager
Webster of Jacoby Brothers branch that
he had deposit of $4,000 in the First Ma
tional bank, and after purchasing $50 worth
of goods handed him a check for SIS, which
was accepted. A friend of Websters '.put
him wise" as soon as he heard of the
transaction and Webster ran bareheaded
In pursuit of the actor man and made him
disgorge. Last night Townsend returned
to the city and was raising such disturb
ance on Spring street that Officer Spencer
sent him to the station.

The Herald.) There was a special meet
ing of the state board of examiners held
today in the office of the attorney general
