lishtfully into their slumberng chambers.
These gentlemen, who have so often met
the applause Of audiences in public halls
and musical gatherings, have been untir-
ing in their rehearsals To perfect them
selves in male quartette music and the
love and zeal with which they apply them
selves is telling wonderfully in the har-
mony and blend OF their voices and in the
nigh grade of perfection attained. Their
repertoire, 10 which they are continually
adding new selections is quite varied in
its makeup and the uuartette may he con-
sidered well equipped for any occasion
or emergency, whether it may demand the
songs Of praise in sacred music. the senti
mental or romantic selections Of serenadn
or the humorous and negro melodies for
spell of mirth and laughter.
Ihey are also appropriately in touch
with the times and have a patriotic ms
well as musical vein, as is manifest bv the
following lines to the music of A negro mel

THE GUN MISSED FIRE
A BURGLAR ROUTED WITH a
DISHPAN
Mrs. John Spence's Adventure With q
Burglar-A Hint for Lonely
Housewives

SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 15.-The gun
would not work, and it was that alone
which saved the county the expense OF
holding an inquest over the remains or
dead burglar. Furthermore. Mrs. John
Spence has provided herself with gun
that will work the next time she has oc-
casion to use one. When her pistol refused
to answer the trigger last night, and while
the burglar stood below her window laugh
ing because of his safety and her fright,
she hurrietily substituted the worthless
weapon for dishpan, and pounding this
vigorously with her clenched fist, aroused
the neighborhood. and put the unwelcome
visitor to flight. He could stand re-
volver that would not shoot, but dishpan
was too much.
Mrs. Spence lives in a lonely part OF
Santa Barbara's western suburb. Her only
companions are her daughters, for her
husband has been absent for several
months in the mining districts of Colorado.
About 1 o'clock this morning Mrs. Spence
was awakened by noise below the WIN
dow. She looked out, and in the moonlight
saw the figure of masked man. She
seized the gun and bravely pointed 1t at the
intruder, but a strong pull on the trigger
brought no result. The dishpan answered
the purpose, however, and the burglar
made a hasty exit.
