same room in the house for nine years.
1t was always kept for him; No. 63 on
the second floor. He had wired three
days before that he was coming, so it
was all ready for him. He Dipped the

flourish or two, scratched down the

THE same old thing?" he asked of
the clerk.
"Yeup," was the answer.
Whereupon Mr.. Clifford wrote down
opposite his name "63."
Then the bellboy grabbed his travel

The clerk dipped the pen in the ink

She glanced at the last name on the

at the form just passing into the ele-

Then she shot the clerk q modest lit

placing "24" after the signature. She
looked up blushing.

HORSES FOR CHICKEN FEED
Worn Out Animals of the $3 Variety
Steved Down Into ''Cake.'

Over 1000 horses have in the last few
months been sent out of San Jose ana
converted into chicken feed. Horses
have never been so cheap since the Amer
leans came into California as during the
last twelve months There were two rea-
sens for this-namely: One the great
number raised on the big ranches. and
the other the scarcity of feed. There are
always old and WORKOUT. horses.
Petaluma is a great, chicken raising
center. This industry is carried on there
tc a greater extent than at any other
point in the state With the growth of
this industry came a, demand for cheap
feed for the chickens, particularly Tor
meat Men began to cook horseflesh and
then pack it in condensed shape-a sort
of meat cake. They bought the old and
worthless horses or any other animal
unfit for human food. This meat busi-
ness grew, and the meat cake was ship
ped to various points and sold by deal
ers in chicken supplies. 1t is for sale In
San Jose.
With the growth of the business there
was a larger demand for horses. Agents
were appointed at all bay cities or near
by points to purchase the worthless
horses to be found in the market.
There seems to be some uncertainty
about Just what the Petaluma packers
paid for the animals. AT all events,
there is some difficulty in ascertaining
the prices. 1t seems. however, that the
scale varies. Agents pay all the way
from 25 cents to $3.50. the latter price only
for large, heavy horses OF course, they
always buy them as cheaply as possible
but it appears they never let reasona-
bly, large horse go away until they had
bid to So.
When a bunch of animals have been
secured they are taken to Petaluma and
delivered. There the skins are taken on
and sold to the tanners. the bones are
preserved and sold to manufacturers OF
fertilizers, and the meat cooked and
pressed into "cake'' for the chickens.
One dealer on North Market street IN
this city says he has sent $50 horses to
Petaluma during the last few months
and he knows that over 1000 have been
sent during the same months to the
same place. fcT11

MUSIC CURE
For Restless People Who Derive No
Benefit From Sleep.

Chicago Record
Music has long since been used by ply
sicians for quieting the nerves of ex-
citable patients or raising the spirits of
those prone to fits Of depression or de-
spondency. In lunatic aSylums espo-
cially, musical strains are found to be
of great benefit to the inmates In all
these cases the music is played during
the waking hours of the patient Ac-
cording to a new theory advanced by
DR.. ]. l.. Corning, persons who suffer
habitually from mental and physical
agony in the morning, who are capable
of little eXertion before midday. and
whose constant complaint is that they
derive little or no good from sleep. no
matter how prolonged. may experience
a decided revival of vigor If subjected to
musical vibrations while they are sleep
Ing. DR.. Corning's experience is that
harmony is more effective than mere
melody in this vibratory plan of treat
ment, and he believes in the good effect
of selections containing the weird and
powerful tone combinations of Wagner
He puts kind of helmet on the patient

BILE to have the patient in the frame of

the music from the time it is first ad-
ministered he should be kept free from

where necessary, DR.. Corning advises
that an appropriate hypnotic be admins

TALKING TO ONES SELF.
A Habit That Is Rapidly Growing
Among Americans.

New York Times.
Have you noticed rapidly growing
habit that has shown itself to a remark
able degree lately-that of people talking
to themselves while travelling in cars,
and even while walking on the streets?"
asked an obserVant man who gets about
town a good deal in the course of a day
My attention was called to the matter
few days ago, with a request for an ex-
planatiOn. 1 ha1n't noticed the peculiar
lty up to that time but since then 1 have
done So and the result is a veritable sur
prise. On Tuesday l had occa sion to walk
from the corner of Fulton street and

and | walked around through Wall street
for the purpose of carrying on my investi-
cations. for | had found that there were
a lot of people, male and female, who in
dulge in the habit of conversing with
themselves while riding in the cars, ap-
parently utterly ohlivious of the fact
that people near them can hear every
word they say. Now, what was the re-
suit? Probably you will not believe it
until you have tried the experiment but
1t is a fact. nevertheless, that passed
eleven men who were engaged In more
or less animated conversations with
themselves, and in two of the cases the
talk had reached disputatious stage
They all appeared to be perfectly sane
and reputable business men. What was
the matter with them I'm sure I don't
Know, any more than | do with the two
men l met at q big auction sale week
ago, who We're plainly discussing with
themselves the advisability of making
purchases One of them was a man well
known in the dry goods trade, who op-
crates on the widest possible scale, and as
his firm stands very high at the mercan-
tile agencies, and his paper is sought for
liz the market, it certainly could not have
been business worrinent that caused him
to think aloud. However, l have come to
the conclusion that this is the cause in
very many cases, particularly among
men who ride up town in elevated trains
at about In the afternoon. and who are
muttering to themselves about the mar
ket These are new and small operators
who are carried away with the excite
ment Of their ventures. But that theory
will not work with the women who have
fallen into the habit, nor with the men
whom | met in my walk on Broadway

spread of this habit. but what it is is be-

We have changed all that of late. Not

there be men who, when asked to en-
gneer a financial deal, inquire as to the
number of millions involved, more in fear
that the total will be too small than that
it will be too large. This was illustrated
recently when modest schemer who
wanted only five millions was told by
some downtown magnates that, while hi );

to make the undertaking of 1t worth

South Dakota Expects $4,000 New
Settlers This Year

Settlers This Year
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., March 2s-Some
months ago the prediction was made that
South Dakota would this year receive
$4,000 new settlers. This was laughed at
In many quarters, but there are now in
dications that the prediction will not
prove far wrong after all. In a personal
letter to j. TOmlinson Jr, Of this city.
II. F. Hunter. immigration agent of the
Milwaukee railroad company for South
Dakota, says:
We received 100 cars of IMMIGRANT
moveables and cattle at Armour S. D..
between Jan. 1 and March IS. We are
going to take more actual settlers into
South Dakota this year than we have in
the past three years, and they are class
OF well-to-do people who know how to
farm and have the means to go ahead.
Later on ] will furnish you a statement
of cars received at all of our stations in
South Dakota. 1t will run about 1000.
This will mean 10000 people, as they will
average about five to each family. This
is on our road alone"
The other roads with lines entering
South Dakota also make good reports of
the influx of settlers to points on the
lines. With nine months vet to spare.
and the certainty that the greatest immi-
grafton will be witnessed next fall. the
influx Of new settlers will easily reach

The cheaper instruments are rented by
beginners who lack confidence in their

who, therefore, prefer renting to expend-
