gave her a question to work out. From

Betty thought fractions dreadfully
stupid things. She didn't try to think
out the answer in the way papa had
explained to her over and over, but
guessed it would be ''seven-eighths"
and put it down on the paper that way.
Then she took another nibble out Of
the side Of her beloved turnover.
Papa looked at the answer and then
at Betty. Then he looked at the turn
over and lastly at shaggy old Bruno.
who had just come into the room. He
took out his knife, and taking the turn
bver, he cut it into four quarters.

here, there are four-fourths, or four
quarters, in the whole Of anything.

HIT A WOMAN
Cowardly Attack Upon Ruth Royc,
Yesterday Morning

Ruth Royce, handsome young woman,
was before Justice Owens yesterday after
noon on charge of disturbing the peace.
1t appears that while Ruth was returning
to her home on Commercial street yester-
day morning Edna Lester, a notorious wo-
man, made some insulting remark about
her. which Ruth resented. The Lester wo-
man then assaulted her and the women had
mix-up. John Muir, the mac" of tho
Lester female. seeing that she was getting
the worst of the fight, struck Ruth cow
ardly blow on the side of the head whi!o
she was not looking, and knocked her down.
The Lester woman then jumped on her and
scratched her face and bit her in several
places. ..,.
Oficer Fay heard the row and hurried to
the scene of the combat. He struck Muir
several times over the head with his club.
Muir, who has had quite an intimate &C.
Quaintance with officers and authorities in
Sacramento. 1t is said, took to his heels
The women were sent to the police station
and were released on bail. The Lester wo.
man pleaded guilty and was fined SO, while
Ruth. who pleaded not guilty. was let OH
with a fine of IS. Ruth lost a fine fur boa
and. though several men claimed to have
seen some one who got it, no trace Of the
garment has been found. Muir may be ar
rested on a charge of battery when he
comes out Of hiding.

The city attorneys ONCE has just made
. discovery that will in some measure
AFFECT the election for freeholders. Tie
council had intended to hold the election
11e tunnels and bridge bonds on one day
- July and follow 1t the next with the Free
holders election. This method would save
the city considerable expense. The attor-
neys have found that the last assembly
adopted different law regarding free
holders elections. 1t requires that there
shall be one voting place for each six pre-
cincts, which will mean thirteen voting
places In the city for the freeholders' cleo
tion while the tunnel bond election will
require but nine voting places-one in each
ward The law also requires but four offic-
ials at each voting place for the freehold
ers' election, while eight are required at
ordinary elections. This will cut of twen-
~ Of tho election officials for the freehold
