1t is characteristic of almost all the
prisoners except the DRINKS that their
chief concern is to secure delay. They
plead and beg for an adjournment,
which they know will only postpone
the inevitable for a day or two, and
that although, through their Inability
to obtain bail, they will have to stay in
prison just the same. The most plausi-
BILE explanation Is that they all are
fatallsts. always hoping that something
unexpected may turn up TO stave Off
the impending catastrophe. The
DRINKS. on the other hand are more
eager to face the arbiter of their fates,
knowing that nothing worse than in.

HE WORKED THE BANKER.
How Clever Merchant Killed Two
Birds with One stone.

Recently a wealthy merchant in Par
is who does an extensive business with
Japan was Informed that prominent
hrm in Yokohama had failed, but the
name of the firm he could not learn,
though he was most anxious to ascer-.
tain whether II was the one with which
he did most of his business in that city.
lie could have learned the truth by
cabling, but instead he went to the
man, well known banker, who had
received the news and requested him
to reveal the name Of the firm to him. g.
THAT'S very delicate thing to do"
replied the banker, FOR the news is
not official, and if gave you the name
/ might incur some responsibility"
The merchant argued. but in vain,
and finally he made this proposition:
Il will give you" he said, "a list of
ten firms in Yokohama, and | Will ask
you to look through it and then to tell
me. without mentioning any name,
whether or not the name of the firm
which has failed appears in it. Surely
you will do that for meY"
Yes" said the banker. ''for If | do
not mention any name | cannot be held
responsible in any way"
The list was made. The banker
looked through It and as he handed 1t
back TO the merchant said, THE name
of the firm which has failed is there"
'"Then I've lost heavily" replied the
merchant, "for that is the firm with
which | did business" showing him
name on the list.
But how do You know that is the
hrm which has failedY asked the
banker in surprise.
Very easily" replied the merchant.
"Of the ten names on the list only one
IS genuine. that Of the firm with which
l did business All the others are ficti-
tious"

Restoring the Forests.

Many acres of burned land in the
San Gabril and san Bernardino noun
tains, Southern talifornia, have been
planted to pines and incense cedar this
winter by the bureau of forestry.
Heavy rains have helped the planters;
the seeds of the November planting
have already terminated.
This work has commanded the inter-
est and the help Of the country which
ii affects. The Los Angeles County
Forest and Water Association has sub
scribed s266, and the board of trade OF
Pasadena $500, to help in the expense
of planting. The country is alarmed
by the notwithstanding water sup
ply; the growing of trees on the burn
ed mountain sides, which conservea
and regulates the flow of water, is a
vital matter to the inhabitants. Hence
the popular interest in the planting.

Carson Letter

ED. CouRIER. The San Francisco
Chronicle, ina long and fiattering edi-
torial with reference to the retirement
Ex-senator Jones, says.
During the course of his long SER
vice Senator Jones broadened into a
real Senator of the United States as
opposed to a Senator from Nevada.
The small States, having few conflict
ing interests to claim the attention of
their Senators, would be a positive
benefit to the country IL they would
always send to the Senate such men as
Senator JONES' who, by the very fact
of, their freedom from what may be
called "home cares,o are more able to
devote their undivided service TO the
general welfare
1t is well that Senator Jones should
get his compliments from the outside.
He has indeed been broad minded
Senator, without any ''home cares"
When every other Senator WIS pulling
with might and main on the table

big national pudding to present to

Except, on protection to the North

induce them to deal with Nevada as
they would deal with their own States, I
and 1t may also appear strange that
Nevada should have gotten and re-
tanned the name of Rotten Borough
after the Senatorial Toga fell upon his
shoulders, but why idly speculate on
the causes of the existence of things,
inthe light of having been.represented
for thirty years by the broadcast mind
ed Senator in the United states, who
could pull himself away from all sordid
and selish motives and legislate for

prone to feel touched and resent such
insinuations; but find it pretty safe

human passions-and particularly the
controlling passion, the acquisition of
wealth. ! recognize the old rule that
every one is presumed to be innocent
until proven guilty, but things look as
though the world had SO far progressed,
since the introduction of electricity,
that the rule ought to be reversed. If
not reversed, it ought to be modified
atleast to the extent that the good or
bad intentions, or the guilt or limo
cence, of every one should be held in
allegiance until after the fact is ascer-
tanned.

Atlanta, Sept. 10.-The State Depart

this telegram from Hon. Pleasant A.
Stovau: Please telegraph at once a
sure and quick way of eradicating
cockspurs."
Capt r. F. Wright, Assistant Com
missioner of Agriculture. spent the en-
tire afternoon in studying the subject,
and is in hopes of being able to furnish
some definite information tomorrow.
He said he was quite in the dark. as
there are several kinds of cockspurs,
and he did not know whether TO sug-
gest cutting them off. or digging them
up. Then again he is in doubt as to
whether the cockspur is meant or the
cookie burr. He will endeavor, how
ever, to suggest remedies for both evils.
While chickering's continue the cock
spur brigade keeps up its work in the
Park Extension. Since the first an
nouncement in the Morning News that
a cOckspur picking was in progress on
the parade ground, hundreds have gone
out and watched the boys at their work
But there are two points that remain
to be settled, and until they are the
discussion will continue. One is what
is a cockspur, and the other is do cock
spurs come from the root or seed. or
both. Discussions on the subject con-
tinue to wax warm, and now the De-
partment Of Agriculture has been call
ed upon for expert information.
