On his last visit to Philadelphia Col
onel Henry Watterson told a story that
did not get into print. 1t was about a
much battered old lawyer who went
up into the mountain region to collect
a claim. He was lame and half blind
and one-armed. A local celebrity in
the case was the districts dead shot,
who had killed many men, and who
was ready to shoot anything or any
body. He came in daily to see the
lawyer about a case in which he was
interested until his visits became ex
tremely tiresome.
Finally the lawyer exclaimed: Get
out of here and stay out Of here I'm
sick Of seeing you. Don't stand there.
Go on out, I tell you"
The desperate looked at the wreck
Of man in incredible dismay, and be-
fore he knew what he was doing he
was backing out of the room. When
he reached the street he burst into
tears. The inhabitants crowded
around and asked him what was the
matter.
HE druv me out, he walled. "Druv
me out of the room. Said he's tired
O. lookin al me and won't let me come
back 10 more"
"N y didn't you shoot him?" asked
| the crowd
"Shoot him" echoed the slayer of
many lives. "Shoot him? He couldn't
walk. He couldn't see. He's def and
couldn't hear. He couldn't run and
he couldn't fight Why, Teller citizens,
if I'd a-shot him it would a been muir,
der. "-Philadelphia Times.

A DOC ecAooL.
An Institution In Paris Devoted 70
Canine Culture.

FAMINE kulAAfEs
In NJ. Edward Gillette's school OF
etiquette for dogs IN Paris CANNES are
trained. The school room Is a large
square apartment, furnished with a
few rugs on it's polished floor, some
chairs and a table or two. On the
school assembling in the morning the
roll is called. The teacher. looking
exceedingly dignifed taps his desk
and the dogs Immediately form in line
Then, in a pleasant but commanding
voice, he calls the dogs names in ro-
tatlon, each animal being trained to
respond with a sharp, quick bark and
a wag Of the tail. The first lesson af-
ter the performance Of the regulation
discipline is to learn to welcome visi.
tors No matter who comes into the
room Unexpectedly, each dog Is taught
to greet the newcomer with a low,
short bark The animal must also
jump up and wag his tail, but must
keep far enough away from the visitor
TO cause him no discomfort Each dog
goes through this performance three
times, and returns to its place in line
like a soldier.
II dog is unruly, it is marched to
a chair in the corner Of the room and
made to crouch on its hind legs beside
it and pray for half an hour. Then
the dogs are taught gallantry. For
instance If you drop your handkerchief
at one end Of the room and an educat-
ed dog happens to be at the other, he
will scamper along to pick it up, then
come running after you with a few
barks to attract your attention, after
which he surrenders his burden most
fastidiously. The dogs are taught to
pick up any dropped article in this
fashion.
Prancing, dainty little steps are
taught the animals for the street, as
we'll as deep and profound obeisance.
A visitor to any house where an edu
Gated dos is kept never leaves without
the dog following her to the door eth
er beside or behind its mistress. Then
stretching out its fore paws, it bends
the front part of its body until its
head rests on the floor. 1t does not
rise, moreover, until the door is closed

The Question Of Bulkhead Doors.

In referring to a recently installed
new system of centrally operated bulk
head doors on some of the steamships,
Cassells Magazine says: There is no
Disgusting the fact, however, that a
door in a bulkhead is always an ele-
ment of weakness and danger; indeed
the only safe bulkhead, as some very
able experts have contended is the
bulkhead that has no doors. Most ship
captains and engineers, ON the other
hand, say that they must have doors,
and the best solution of the question,
therefore, would seem n reduction of
the number Of doors to q minimum, the
selection Of a good type of door, and
the adoption Of a safe means Of oper-
ating it, and, as to this last feature,
it appears to be afforded by a central
station method like the one just
noted"

WY CAR IS eEARpEp.


OF hNfHelHs
A foreign correspondent has found
out why the Car of Russia wears "a
full beard. Il IS not because he has
a big mole on his check, nor is 1t TO

The fact Is that the Car Is afraid
to have himself shaved lie fears that
he might get into a Nihllist BARRIERS
chair some morning, and-swlck! The
rest may be imagined. Therefore, to
avoid the danger OF having his throat
cut by one Of his loving subjects, his
Imperial Majesty Is compelled to go
through life with beard which he has
trimmed as seldom as possible because
he Is inclined TO shy away from shears
as well as from razors.

PUBLIC BUILDING PLANS
They Will Probably Be Made by Gov.
 ernment Architects

The secretary of the treasury has about decided to exercise his option in the matter of plans for the Los Angeles public building in favor of the depart- ment bureau. Under the law Secretary Shaw is empowered 10 have plans drawn by the supervising architect, Lenox Taylor, or he may open public competition such as was held for the Indianapolis, New York and Cleveland buildings, and such as will be held for the San Francisco customs;build- ing. Under the supervising architect there is quite an efficient staff of architects with considerable experience in the drawing and planning of public structures, and they are capable of turning out very creditable work; but in certain instances senators and members of congress have wished to have the plans furnished by private architects on the competitive basis, it being their idea that better plans might thus be secured. Sometimes they have hoped also to get the work for local architects, but it seldom turns out that the local people get the work.
 After the Indianapolis building had been held up for several months the competition resulted in favor of Philadelphia firm, and one of the local architects who had competed, was thrown out for irregularitv. Work on the plans will not be commenced until questions as to site and damages are further advanced toward settlement.

GRAIN FIELDS BURNED
Flames Gain Great Roadway and
 Spread Rapidly

At 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon the Grange company of Modesto re- ceived telephone message from the agent at Montpelier that large grain fire started on the ranch of Joseph N. Long and that at the time of sending the message the fire had destroyed $50 acres of summer fallow wheat on the Long ranch and the flames were work ing swiftly northward.
 All the buildings on the ranch, ex- cept dwelling house, were totally destroyed. A force of over fifty men were fighting the flames, which had gained good headway on the Bledsoe ranch north of Long's place. It is esti- mated that the damage was $6000.
 The Long ranch is situated about twenty-five miles south of Fresno near Ryer station on the Southern Pacific railroad. The grain on the Bledsoe ranch amounts to several hundred acres and has probably been all destroy ed. It is supposed that the fire was started from the sparks of passing locomotive.

DESPERATE DEED
Prisoners Seek to Escape by Wreokins
 a Jail With Dynamite

St. Joseph, Mo.-At 12:10 o'clock Wednesday, James Blades, Leck Allen and James Murray, notorious prisoners in the Buchanan county jail, wrecked the rear wall of the jail building with a powerful charge of dynamite. Allen, Blades and Murray then made fierce fight for liberty, but the guards were too quick for them and beat them back with Winchesters. Seventy-five pris- oners are confined in the jail, but many of them made no effort to escape and those who were nervy enough to try to follow Blades and his compan- ions were clubbed into submission.
 As if by miracle, but one was in- jured, although the explosion was felt several blocks away and every window in the court house on the side next to the jail was shattered. Blades and Allen are under sentence for highway robbery and Murray is government prisoner. They are now chained face down to the floors of their cells.
 Other prisoners were appraised of what was to happen about five minutes before the fuse was lighted and on the advice of the leaders of the plot they sought safety in their cells just before the explosion occurred. The jailer was at dinner in another part of the building. Charles May, who has three times been under sentence of death, declined to take part in the plot, although he admits that he knew of it.
 The damage to the jail and court house is estimated at $500 and until repairs can be made large armed guard will be necessary to restrain the prisoners.

TO PROTECT AMERICAN INTERESTS
Steamer Ranger is Rushed to the
 IsthmuS of Panama

According to orders from Washing ton, the United States steamer Ranger sailed at 6 p. m. Friday for Chiriqui, to protect American interests. It is rumored that Gen. Herrera, the revo- lutionary commander, has decreed that all p.oduce is the property of his gov ernment whether belonging to natives or foreigners.
 Mir. Gudger will also take some important papers which Gen. Salazar, the Governor of Panama. is sending to Gen. Herrera. It is presumed that they include peace terms. There is no doubt that Herrera will be placed in possession of the true version of the recent disaster to the Liberal arms and that he will be convinced of the futility of further bloodshed.
 So soon as the isthmus is pacified the general elections will take place and conrgess will meet and decide the canal question.

A Budget of News from Our Regular

A new method oil refinery will be built in Los Angeles, says E. W. Haywood, president of Fl Beaumont Oil company of Beaumont, Texas. But before the refinery is started, one will be established at Beaumont, to handle the product of the Beaumont company's wells.
 J. M. Foshay's grocery at the corner of Jefferson street and Wesley avenue was entered by burglar about Il o'lock Sunday night. He secured $2 in change and also stole a lot of crack CTS and cheese. The thief, who had the appearance of hobo, was seen to leave by the rear door. No one pur- sued him and he disappeared.
 A lighted candle set fire to some clothes in room of the one-story frame cottage occupied by Pedro Padilla and family, at the corner of Topeka and Alameda streets, at noon Sunday. A 3-months old baby girl was asleep in the room and the other members of the family were in another. The smell of something burning brought them to the rescue, but the child was already badly burned. If it does not die it will bear scars for life. The damage to the building and contents was about $50.
 The body of an old woman who was later identified as Mrs. Sarah Hawx- hurst was found floating, face down. ward in the lake at Eastlake park Sun day morning. The discovery was made by James A. Stout, an employe of the Los Angeles Traction company, while taking walk on the east side of the lake. The body was about fif- teen feet from the shore. Not far away, upon the bank, lay the woman's hat, coat and parasol, which she cast away before taking the fatal plunge.

Work of Irrigation

F. H. Newell, chief hydrorgapher of the geological survey, has started from Washington for the western states to make preliminary, investigation of the irrigation problem. The irriga- tion law passed by the last session of congress has made it necessary for a survey to determine the location of the extensive reservoirs to be located under the terms of the law. and several en- gineering parties already have been sent out to do preliminary work. Mir. Newell will .have supervision of the task. It is intended that lthe prelimi- nary work shall be most thorough, and on this account it is not expected that the construction of any of the proposed reservoirs will be undertaken for year or two. MT. Newell expects to devote the entire summer to work in the field.
 Contrary to expectations of over enthusiastic rrigationists, the govern ment will go ow in carrying out the provisions of the new arid land recla- nation act. The reclamation of the arid west will be work of years. Under instructions from the president, who was the chief influence in securing the legislation needed, the interior department will go carefully and cautiously in developing the great work. It is a new and untried field. with fruitful possibilities for costly blunders. Secretary Hitchcock under takes responsibility heavier than any that can fall upon his successors. for it is he who must lay the founda- tion for the system of constructing water reservoirs of varying size in six teen states and territories for the reclamation of 100,00O,000 acres of
