THE DIGN1F1ED WOMAN.
She Was . Little Severe on the Curis
Gus Woman, But She Was
Provoked.

She is dignifed woman, and sometimes
she is overpowering. The unwary do not
perceive this quickly, however. The dig
ni6ed woman has been spending some time
in one of the hospitals of this city. She
went there for rest and quiet. Since she
has recovered her health she tells some
stories of her experiences. Here
is one:
The dignifed woman was walking down
the hall one day when she was accosted by
the curious woman. The curious woman
had been wondering about the dignifed
woman, and she said:
81 beg your pardon, madam, but / would
like to know what you have been operated
on for?"
"What?" exclaimed the dignifed woman.
"Well, explained the curious woman, 'my
friend in the next room and have been
wondering about you. You walk about the
hall with such light and springy step that
we wonder about what kind of an operation
you have undergone"
The curious woman held her ground. She
| was determined to know what was the mat
ter with the dignifed woman.
The dignifed woman replied:
L have not been operated upon yet"
"Oh!" said the curious woman, sympa-
thetically..
"No, am not familiar with operations"
said the digni6ed woman.
| The curious woman interrupted: "They
are very successful here. Don't be wor.
RED"
81 am wondering about an operation On
the BRAIN" said the dignifed woman, in a
very dignifed and distant manner. "i won.
der if they could operate upon the brain in
such a way as to enable people to attend to
their own affairs"
The curious woman snorted and walked
away in high dudgeon.
The dignifed woman was severe, it is true,
but she was provoked to it.-St. Louis Re
public.

Neither Cause Nor Effect

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald
Belief or unbelief in a particular religion
does not cause. nor Is caused by heroism.
There have been occasions when none but
a hero could be openly a Christian, and
times when only the most courageous free
thinkers dared to declare their unbelief.
There have lived brave men in every age.
Of every race. and of many different re-
ligions. There are heroes now; some are
Christians, some are Jews, and some are
infidefs. Their valor is unaffected either
way by their religion.
A man may die bravely for his religion
as we'll as for hts country, but 1t matters
nothing whether that religion be Chris
tianity or Confucianism.
One says that Hobson is heroic because
he is Christian; another that he Is hero
in spite of his Christianity, and both are
wrong. Hobson is a hero, were he Mo-
hommedan he would be a hero STILL
There are devout Christians whd point
to Hobson as a shining example of the eff
feet Of Christianity. These are good peo-
pie, consistent Christians probably, yet how
many Of them. think you, would undertake
Hobson's exploit.
There are falnt-hearted infldels and cour-
ageous Christians; there are devout cow
ards and valorous freethinkers Hobson,
the hero happens to be Christian.

Zeke Wilkins, boy 16 years of age. with
red hair, blue eyes, 12O pounds avolrdupois
and feet inches in height, has run away
from home. He formerly lived at Bentley's
Fond, Aroostook county, Me-, but not being
a loyal youth. he failed to remember the
Maine, and left the state. Some weeks ago
he wandered upon the train and went to
Boston. where he stopped twenty minutes
with Tilly Briggs, friend of the family.
and then disappeared as completely as if he
was Spaniard fighting In the underbrush

The parents of Zeke appear to think he
has the heatrical bee buzzing in his bonnet
as he had participated with great credit to
himself and his numerous admiring rela-

efforts In the town hall at Bentley's Pond.
After his successes in the town hall, where
as star he shone so brilliantly as to act
as green shade to the foot lamps, he hired
press agent and became heralded about

Zeke's life in Podunk was when he gave

AFRAID OF BURGLARS
A Clerk Who Did Not Like the

1t was reported at the police station last
night that there were burglars in the

RIvERsIDE's PLIGHT
Has Lots OF Water but Neither Paving
or Light-Tax Lands

RIVERSIDE. July 27.-The city has
spent $4,000 for an electric light system and
sa5 900 for asphalt streets in less than two
years, and today it has neither. The lights
are out and little Improvement may be
looked for before November. The asphalt
is all cracked, and wet winter will make
1t necessary to replace 1t. Considerable
murmuring is heard among taxpayers over
the way their money has been squandered
in these matters.

running bank full and the company is still
developing more water.
The Southern Pacific company has COM
pleted the new switch track on to the block
of land recently bought for turn table pur-
poses, and the work of getting the ground
and excavation ready for the table will
soon be complete.
A deed from the Southern Pacific COM
pany to c. J. Raymond for portion Of the
west half OF section 8, township south,
range 8 west, was placed on record here
today.
The assessors Office Is busy making a list
of the lands which were sold to the state
for taxes five years ago. or in the first year
of the existence of the county, for this
land now becomes the property Of the state,
according to the law which fixes the ex-
treme limit for redemption at five years.
A very large share of the lands so affected
are tracts in the Alessandro irrigation dis
trict. which were never sold by the Bear
Valley company to settlers.
The men employed by the Paramide Gold
Mining company. which were to have start

and now the start VIII be made the early

caused by the non-arrival OF some of the
necessary machinery which 1t was the pur-
pose to take along.
Reports from the mountain sections of
the county are to the effect that there are
more stock in the mountains this summer
than ever before. The drought of the val
leys has compelled the ranchers In all this
section to send their spare stock, both cat
tie and horses, to the pastures Of the hills,
and even the campers are bothered by these
herds, which raid the camps night The
large increase of stock on the mountain
ranges is fast reducing the feed even there
and there are sections where the feed will
not last until the rains bring a supply in the
valleys.

wrecked buggy was found near the horse,
but no trace was found either Of the own

the team was found at the corner of Grand

Teton. Both of the horses are small brown
bays and are being held, pending the ap-
