REPUTED POOR MAN
HAD SACKS OF GOLD

In taking possession of the effects OF
John Siebel, who died Friday at the Lane
hospital San Francisco. the public ad.
ministrator found in vault of the Cali
fOrnia Safe Deposit company six greasy
channels bags containing gold coin to the
value of $3.50.
Siebel's acquaintance looked upon him
as poor man. For number of years
he had been employed as janitor in an
Office building on Sansome street. He
slept in an attic room in the building
and seldom ate good meal. Last week
the superintendent of the building found
the janitor helpless in his bed and had
him removed to the Lane hospital.
Siebel was well known to the stock
gamblers who years ago operated on
Pine street. At one time he was wealthy,
but lost his fortune in speculation.
The money taken from the safe deposit
vault was incrusted with grease. The
persons who handled it were uncertain
as to it's genuirencss until the coin had
been scrubbed.

WROTE HIS OWN
FUNERAL GRAFTON

George Inwood, So years of age, Of
San Francisco. died the other day. At
his funeral services there was read an
Grafton which was written and put in
print by him some years ago. and which
was distributed among the mourners
Mr.. Inwood was one Of the earliest
settlers in California, having crossed the
plains on foot in the early 40's, before
the gold fever brought it's tide of immi-
grafton. His eccentricities made him a
well-known character.
About 1S49 one Of the churches in San
Francisco. SO Inwood claimed, became
indebted to him for $6,O0O which he
could not collect In 1861 he published a
pamphlet, in which he set forth his
claims and the treatment he had re-
ceived. Some years later he wrote the
funeral Grafton mentioned.
Among other views he held was oppo-
sition to the immigration of Chinese,
which he set forth in texts on the fence
surrounding his home.

jaws of a man 1872 years old. and many
others of a similar character"
A case is known of female, in her
9Sth year, who cut twelve double teeth,
mostly in the lower jaw. Another cut
several struggling teeth at the age of
"A; and another remarkable feature at
tending this case was that the patient
at the same time discovered her sight
to such degree that she was able to
dispense with the use OF spectacles
One of the most singular instances Of
the kind, however, is given by DIR. Slade
in the Philosophical Transactions for
1713. The patient was his father When
20 years old he cut an incisor tooth,
which he, had lost rs years before: and
at - another incisor was replaced in
the same way. thus at so he had a
complete row of teeth. When he was 50
they all dropped out successfully, and
when 81 they all successfully reappeared;
so that at So he had still a perfect set
of teeth. At the same time his hair
changed from white to dark hue and
his condition seemed more vigorous and
healthy.
Several physiological authors have
firmly denied that third set of teeth
does ever appear. This is. unfair, for
many modern authors give testimony
to the reverse. DR.. Bell. of the Univer-
sity of London, and a highly esteemed
surgeon and anatomist, saw an instance
in which four front teeth appeared at
the age of 80.

HOW A KISS WON THE
ELECTION.

Inc sensational report telling of the
recovery OF the long-lost portrait of the
Duchess of Devonshire has reminded
some of those who met Lord Dufferin
when he was in New York a few years
ago, guest of the ST. Andrews Society.
and neighbor at the banquet table of
Joseph H. Choate, of some delightful
anecdotes which he told of his grand
mother who was a sister of the Duchess
of Devonshire writes Holland in the
Philadelphia Press.
The sisters inherited their fathers
fondness for politics and were of no
little influence in the political life of
Great Britain Of their time The Duchess
OF Devonshire at one general election
was very anxious that Charles James
Fox should be returned to parliament.
The contest was exceedingly bitter and
promised to be very close. A ministry
IN which her husband was intensely in
terested was at stake. The Duchess
started forth herself upon an electioneer-
ing trip. pleading with everyone she
knew who had a vote or influence to give
1t to Fox. There was a butcher in one
of the smaller towns of the district which
Fox sought to represent who had sup
piled meat at the country residence OF
the Duke and Duchess.
The Duchess, who was born aristo-
crat, could. nevertheless, be in politics
an ultra democrat. She sought this
butcher. knowing that he had not only
his vote but. as We say today, controlled
half dozen more. She pleaded with
him to support Fox. although she knew
the butcher was of the other party. The
meat seller was flattered by her atten-
tion, and yet he knew the value of his
vote and influence, and at last he said:
II will make bargain with you. TIL
plump for Fox and make my friends do
It. provided you'll give me a kiss
The Duchess looked at the butcher for
an instant. and then, before he knew
that his offer was accepted. she smacked
him full upon the lips and then said:
Nov. I've paid the price: you must
keep your promise"
He was as good as his word and de-
livered six or eight votes to Fox which
but for this pleading. would have gone
to the opposition. and they saved the day

DOG THREW A FIT
IN A SAUSAGE FACTORY.

Never again will w. Propert Carlton
take the family dog with him when he
goes out to buy the family sausage. He
did SO yesterday, and the only salary
which will go into the family purse Sat-
urday will be that delivered by the ghost
to Toby Claude. That given to the barry
tone must go to cover the damage done
by the dog.
The trouble was chiefly due to Carl
toms ignorance as to the private char
acter of the dog. He did not guess the
animal had a prediction of fits. When
ne bought it at a recent Dachshund
bench show, he took no pains to inquire.
That would have reflected upon his abil-
ty as dog judge. He merely paid the
price and looked important.
Therefore he saw no good reason for
not taking the bowlegged creature with
him yesterday when Miss Claude, other
wise Mrs Carlton. pointed to the empt-
ness of the family larder. and he hied
himself away to the perpetrator of

Stick to your work, boys. You owe il
to yourselves to use What is in you.
Never give up. If you do youll sink,
because you deserve it..
"Act square by others, as you expect
them to act square by you.
Never do anything cruel to a smaller
boy or girl. The brave man is always
tender and kindly towards others.
Boys, in life it should be as in q
football game; don't play foul, but hit
the line as hard as you know how"
Thus spoke the vice president of the
United States, Theodore Roosevelt, t.
seventy-five homeless boys in the West
Side Boys home one night last week.
Roosevelt's father was one of the founl-
ers of the home and he has always taken
the greatest interest in it and it's in
mates. So has his sister, Mrs. Doug
las Robinson. Every spring she and her
husband have given fine dinner for
the boys and last week was the APP
pointed time.
Other fashionable women and men
were there. The boys are from 10 to
Is years old. Their faces shone from,
soap and water. their hair was plas-
tered down, and they wore their best
clothes. The long table. laid on the first
floor. groaned under turkey. chicken
salad, oranges. ice cream and cake.
When the vice president entered the
room the boys jumped from their seats
and cheered for Teddy until the
windows rettled. Roosevelt was in his
element. He helped to serve the dainties
to the boys and kept urging them to eat
all they could, but they needed no urg-
ing.
After dinner and more cheering for
their hosts and Teddy the boys
marched to the assembly room on the
second floor The fashionable women
| and men grouped themselves behind
them, the vice president got on a low
platform. He first told the youngsters
that the governor of Alaska used to be
a newsboy in the Newsboys' home.
