BUT HE STAMPED IT
Mr.. Cook Objects to Putting Revenue
Stamps on q Deed

At the last meeting of the city council
the city clerk was instructed to return to
w. II. Cook a deed quit-claiming to the
city strip of land in the Peterson tract,
for the reason that the document did not
bear the necessary internal revenue stamp.
Yesterday Mr.. Cook filed hts answer and re-
turned the deed with the following COM
ment: "Since executing the deed July 5th
there seems to have been decision re-
quiring a 10-cent stamp upon notarial GER
tificates, but under the law no stamp is
required upon the deed, the property hav-
ing cost us not to exceed 500 and being con-
veyed to the city without compensation.
However, for the satisfaction of all con-
cerned and to avoid further controversy
affix a 5O-cent stamp upon the instru-
ment"

thetic feature about the case was the fact
that Raynor had his little 5-year-old
daughter with him at the time of his arrest.
1t was necessary to provide for the child,
and the landlady of his rooming house very
kindly consented to care for it. Raynor
was taken north on the night train, and as

FLORISTS MADE A MISTAKE.
Another bridal Couple Enjoyed the
Benefit of Their Fragrant
Decorations.

Accidents and mistakes are always
liable to happen at wedding, and
many brides and erooms have learned
to their cost that it pays to supervise
the arrangements for their marriage
themselves. An amusing thing hap
pened to very smart wedding not
far from London recently. The brides
parents sent to some fashionable city
florists to decorate the chancel of the
parish church, but when the bridal
party arrived not flower was visi-
BILE, and the place was as bare as a
barn. Indignation and surprise con-
sumed all concerned, and violent IN
quiries were sent by wire to the fash.
ionable florists to learn why they had
failed to obey instructions. The an.
swer came in due time with the bill
and on inquiry it was discovered that
the smart two o'clock nuptials had
been preceded by another earlier we'd
ding. The florists had arrived just
before and profusely adorned the
church, but as soon as the ceremony
was over, supposing it to be 'the" we'd
ding for which they We're engaged,
they carefully removed all the deco
rations and bundled them off to townl
The moral of which is: Don't leave
bridal arrangements to hirelings.

her down the winding, grass-grown

where not a soul was visible, and up
through the narrow street, where the
sight of us drove the few wretched in

houses, as if we had the plague itself at
our saddle bows. Finally we stopped

was in this village, which seemed but
half alive. Over the entrance to the
cottage hung faded signboard, mark

used as workshop, and here the smith

FAIR PLAY IN THE rHEATER.
How "a Little Woman silenced Vol
uble Ncigllbor Who Triedto
Annoy Her.

1t was only hy-play at the theater
the other evening, but it was enter
tanning to Il limited portion of the au-
dience, says the Detroit Free Press.
Behind the little lady with dimin-
utive hat that had its chief beauty in
it's daintainess, sat member of the
sex with Amazonian proportions and
voluble tongue. In a brief intermis-
sion of chattering to those about her
she happened to look down and espy
the pretty headgear which was clear
foot below her range of vision with
the stage, But it was tempting OPP
portunity.
will you kindly remove your hat?"
asked the one in the rear, as she
leaned forward and spoke in a noisy
whisper.
Certainly" answered the one in
front, as she made rather a vicious
plunge for the anchoring pin. 81 will
kindly take off my hat. Will you
kindly stop your talking and permit
us to hear this play?"
For full five minutes there was I'M
broken silence. But it was a greater
seG-restraint than the large woman
could endure and her annoying whis-
perings again began. Suddenly the one
in front stuck the little hat upon the
very summit Of her head and pinned
IT there. 1t seemed to have grown
taller and of greater circumference
and looked just like defiant chal-
lenge worked into artistic millinery.
The large woman was too mad to
talk and there was suppressed litter
ing while those around beamed on the
little woman and were sore tempted
to give her q hand by WAY of annlause

WANT FREIGHT
 RATES REDUCED
Complaint of Citrus Fruit Packers, Shippers and
 Growers.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call
 SAN DIEGO, March S.-The San Diego County Packers and Shippers Assocla- tfen, comprising the leading frult snip pers and growers or the county naxe written to Agent Stuart of the Southern California Railway asking for reduction of the citrus fruit freight rates to the East This action Is taken In consequence of the charges that the Santa Fe ana Southern Pacific are in pool Wherepy the rates on citrus fruits are kept at ruinously high figure. The Shippers ana Packers Association says:
 "Southern California has at least 5000 carloads of seedlings still on the trees Unless the market improves or the rail roads come to the rescue half of this fruit will never be shipped Figure the loss to the railroads, to the growers, packers ana shippers At the low price of $l % per oox delivered the loss would be $756,0OO. Will the railroads see this fruit rot and the leading industry of Southern California damaged to such an extent?
 ''Since the tariff law went into erect Atlantic Ocean rates on imported citrus fruits have been reduced one-tnlrd Dur ing this same time railroad Irelght rates from New York to Chicago, for instance have been reduced on the quiet by means of rebates and otherwise one-fourth. To- gether this means 25 cents per box advan- tage to the foreign growers. Thus, what we gained by the tariff Is largely nulli- fled If the transportation lines or the Eastern States and the Atlantic Ocean can thus assist the growers, isn't 1t right and just that we ask our Western lines to belp us? For ten years now the citrus fruit rate to Mississippi Valley common points has remained the same. During modities has been cut in two. The traffic at one time could stand the rate. Under present conditions that rate has become excessive and the business can no longer stand if '
