SUMNER WALKS
The Most Inviting Time TO Indulge
In a stroll 10 the Early
MOrhlnE.

The ideal season for summer walks
Is early in the morning or after sunset
during the long twilight. The average
housekeeper in the country is too busy
for country walks, and therefore misses
much OF the stimulus which her city
cousin receives from her study Of ma
ture and natures way during the short
vacation she takes In the country.
There is a general impression that the
only time to enjoy nature is during the
summer season. The average dweller
by meadow and lakeside looks upon
winter walks as somewhat eccentric.
She has become accustomed 10 hear
persons exclaim enthusiastically over
the beauty Of woodlands and the de-
lights Of growing grass and blossom
ing flowers, SO that the most conserva-
tive-minded person is now convinced
that 1t is proper TO admire nature at
this period. II is painful TO realize how
many people do admire her because 1t
is the correct thing" to do.
The writer remembers a well-read
woman once questioning the propriety
of q walk In the winter woods, doubt
ing II any persons in their correct
senses would indulge in such a tramp,
when the poem Of "The Woods in Win
ter" was brought up as proof that at
least one great poet knew the woods
In their winter garb, as well as in their
gay season Of LEAKAGE and flower, 1t
instantly silenced her objection. Yet
If she had had a true love OF nature
the beauty Of the woods OF winter
would have appealed more strongly TO
her than any other argument. June
Is the high tide Of song and bloom in
woods and meadows. Later in the sea-
son the sultry heat has bred decay.
and the thousand and one insects us
~scayengers come to purify the air from
Its results. June is an excellent time TO
start summer walks, because OF the
number OF subjects to arrest the at
tention everywhere. Here u beautiful
rare flower invites the eye; there "a bird
whose song and plumage are new ex-
cites the interest and invites the most
indifferent spectator TO study its life's
history.
The popular books on such subjects
which have been published enable those
most unlearned In scientific technicali-
ties to Identify birds and flowers by

DANGER IN THE OLD WELL.
II IL Quite Poetic as n Yard Feature
hut Very Detrimental to
Health.

So much has been said about the
country well that 1t only needs a word
in this puryiew. The country people
love their "old wells" They always tell
you; "Whg, nobody ever gets sick from
our WE'LL" l came across Just such a
well within the last few months. Three
generations back this old well fur
nished water for the same family, and
no one, in fact, ever became sick from
1t. At last the old folks died and the
second generation started on their way
with a large family Of sons and daugh-
tiers. Still no one became sick. The
third generation became men and wom-
en- and still resided at the old home
stead; then, at last, after so many years,
the old we'll began Its deadly work. One
after another Of the family was stricken
with typhoid fever, until four were III
at n time, and that homestead will
never be the same as II once was, for
there are two vacant places, and this old
well, which before had never made
anyone sick" yielded on chemical ex.
animation 40 parts Of chlorine per

The allurements OF the old homestead
seem very enticing on the stage or on
canvas, but under the exciting eye of

Some Valuable Suggestions Regard
ing the Proper Method Of
Cleaning,

II you will only have bare floors and

Don't use tea leaves 10 clean Il delicate

Damp bran or newspapers dampened

IS NOT A SVENGALI.
DR.. Anderson Pleads Not Guilty and
Tells How he Bathed His
A ecIlSer'S Feet

OAKLAND, May 2.--Dr. II. L. Ander-
son, the advertising solicitor charged with
practicing medicine without a license, ap-
peared in the Police Court to-day and
pleaded not guilty asking for jury trial.
His case was set for May IL Anderson
says that his arrest at the instance of
w. A. Boscow is "a piece of spite work +"
and he laughs at the published story of
his having exercised a hypnotic influence
over Mrs. Boscow.
II do not know anything about the hyp-
motto science" said Anderson to-day, land
1 would not know how to begin. 1t is all
nonsense. Mr.. Boscow's treatment of his
wife, while my wife and 1 stopped at their
house was of the worst kind and when
Mrs. Boscow threatened to bring suit for
a divorce we advised her to try and get
along with him for the sake Of the chill
dren.
'Boscow has treated me disgracefully.
Why, 1 have spent hours bathing his feet
with warm water and applying other rem
edies trying. to make him well and this
is the way he repays me. I have never
made it my business TO practice medicine,
though 1 am a regularly licensed physi-
clan and never Svengalied a person in
nv life"

THE "THALIA" IS CITED
PLENTY OF EVIDENCE IS TO BE
PRODUCED.
Residents in Rapidly Settling Dis
trict Object to the Granting of
Licenses for Saloons to
Improper Persons
Oakland ONCE San Francisco Call,
sos Broadway, May ?.

sos Broadway, May 2.
Next Monday morning NJ Casley, in
whose name is granted the license for the
Thalia roadside house on the San Leandro
and show cause why his license should
not be revoked. This action was deter
mined upon by the board this morning.
The question of the disorderly houses
along the San Leandro road has become
one Of paramount Importance during the
past three years, during which time the
territory has rapidly become settled, ow-
ing to the electric road. Before this time
the county road was dotted with roadside
houses. but as there were no residents
near them their character was not eX
plotted. Now it is different, and the hun
dreds of respectable residents in the many
settlements along the San Leandro road
have determined on a change and have
so informed the Supervisors
This morning Attorney Kinsel renewed
his application to have the license of the
Thalia revoked. He declared that apart
from the character of the house the IL
cense had not been properly granted, and
he also stated that this objection applied
10 several other roadside houses. The
ordinance requires that the applicant
must be shown to be a man of good moral
character and q fit person to conduct the
saloon decently. This not shown IN the
case of Casley.
Supervisor Church said that Attorney
Kinseu is not the only person who has
complained about the Thalia. A number
of residents in that neighborhood have
told him that the place was run in dis
reputable manner.
Supervisor Mitchell said that since the
complaint made at the last meeting he
had made some inquiry as to the charac-
ter of the Thalia saloon and had ascer-
tanned that it was not what it should be.
At the last meeting il was stated that
there had been an orgie at the place and
a man severely injured. Although the
complaint had not been made after the
style of a regular protest, still Mr.. Nit
cheU thought the board had right to
compel the owner of the place to appear
and explain all about the fight of last
Sunday week
An argument followed between Chair
man Talcott, Mr.. Church and Mr.. Mitchell
as to the Jurisdiction of the board regard
ing the revocation of a license when it
knew that the law was being violated,
even when no formal complaint was
made District Attorney Allen said that
the board could revoke any license at any
time 1t saw fit when 1t was satisfied the
law was being broken. Mitchell wanted
to know what evidence there was in this
case TO warrant such a revocation, to
which Mr. Church replied that there
would be plenty Of evidence forthcoming
at the proper time.
