FAMILY RECORD BIRLES.
They Arc Still in Donand, Hut Not Sold to the Same Extent as
 Formerly.

Do we still sell the old-fashioned tam- fly Bible, with pages in it for the record of births, deaths and marriages? Oh, yes," said the bookseller. according to a New York exchange, but not so many of them as we once did.
 There are more Bibles sold now, take ing them all together, than ever before, endless variety of forms and styles; out the demand for it in this particular form is now, should say. not more than one-third what it onoe was
 Still, we keep these record Bibles to- day in dozen styles. ranging in price from five dollars to $20. The blank rec ord pages, these often illuminated, are bound in between the two Testaments.
 "In some of these Bibles there Is a blank presentation page upon which may be written the name of the person to whom the Bible Is presented. with the name of the giver; and in some of them is contained blank marriage cer- tificate; and in some there are bound in with the pages for the record of births. deaths and marriages, pages for the rec ord of temperance pledges.
 These Bibles are more likely to be bought nowadays by country people. and 1t might be by people of the German race and by Irish Protestants; all likely to be substantial people of comfortable means; conservative people who cling still to time-honored customs.
 ''So, while the old-time family record Bible, with pages for the record of births, deaths and marriages. has gone somewhat out of fashion. and is not sold to the extent to which it once was, yet 1t is still sold, and the demand for it is still considerable"

AN UNLUCKY DEAL.
Illustrating the Mistake of Man Who Tries to Help Around
 the House.

When a married man gets out of his orbit, or off his half of the domestic carpet, so to speak, the consequences are always more or less disastrous to him, says the Detroit Free Press.
 "We've just moved" said an unhap- py-looking man in little neighbor- hood crowd of men who. were buying their evening cigars at a corner to- bacco shop. ( "Or. rather, we are half moved. Half our household truck has gone over to the new place, and half Is still with us. Then sold a lot, too. and got myself in awful hot water. You know how 1t is when man starts out in his own house to do things without asking his wife"
 "Oh, yes: we know" echoed all the others.
 ''In our stable attic," the man con- tinued, i've had a lot of old stuff stored I've heard my wife say dozen times that we must look 1t over and sell good deal of it the next time we moved. To-day she was over to the other house. and as was kind of stand ing round, not knowing where to take hold next, along came junk man through the alley. hailed him and took him up in the stable attic: there sold him an old table. an old high chair. a battered old crib and a car pet. He gave me six dollars for the lot I found box of old battered brass trays, plaques and picture frames after he was gone, and peddled those off at nickel apiece to some neighborhood children who were tagging me around all day.
 ''Of course, a man never really knows what he has sold until his wife tells him; and tomorrow I'm to chase all day after that junk man. I've sold our best parlor carpet, taken up when sum- mer came in, my wife's own highly treasured infants high chair and a crib which was also her mother'ss and a real mahogany table she had stored away to have done over. She herself had paid nine dollars for the old table. and was glad to get 1t at that. Old ta- bles are gettingscarce, she says"
 'sHow about the brass objects" some one asked.
 'Oh, I've got to go around and buy those back, too" the man replied. sad ly. "They were high-art beaten brass nondescripts which my wife made her self at the age of 13, and she says her mother wouldn't part with them for anything"

 True womanliness should be one of the chief clements of a young wom- ans education. The objectionable sins of womanhood are hardness and coarseness, dearth of gentleness and any ruise of selfishness. A virtue that should be earnestly cultivated by the woman of to-day is a. greater sincer- ity in the manners and customs of society. This is the contribution all true women should make to the so- ciety of their time. Society needs gen. tie women in the true sense of that word. Only that education Is worth while which stands for service to the world-in some form. material or im- material, and the latter is often the more real of the two. In fact, the ideal, whatever it be, Is the re- an oft said saying, but one as often forgotten in the details of daily life. ..It Is the privilege and no less the duty of every one who aspires to be called an educator to ever hold up this vision of the ideal, ever follow the gleam'--live the great revelation in +ho doto3IS If daily life"

Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON, Nov. 22.-Mrs. P. L.
Sanderson, the wife of a Victoria
Island farmer, is under arrest here on
a charge of forgery. She was arrested
last night at Livermore and brought to
this city to-day. The alleged woman
fcrger is said to have forged the name
of Victor Raymond to an Endorsement
on a $40 check drawn on the Stockton
Savings and Loan Society Bank last
Friday.
Raymond is a farmland and had
been in the employ of o. Y. woodward
OH Victoria Island. Woodward-gave
Raymond a check for $109 for services
rendered The story goes that al
though Mrs. Sanderson is a married
woman, Raymond admired her and at
various times sent her to Woodward
with the check with instructions that
she be paid amounts ranging from $40
to $40. Each time Woodward paid
the money and issued new check for
the balance, tearing up the old check.
Finally the amount due Raymond be-
come reduced to $40. Then 1t is said
Mrs. Sanderson forged the Endorsement
of Raymond on the back of the check,
cashed it and skipped with the money.

RECAINS ITS
DOODLE COIN
st. Louis Suburban Company
viii Not Forfeit Seventy
Five Thousand Dollars

ST. LOUIS, Nov 22-Judge Wood of
the Circuit Court, in the case of Henry
Nfcolaus, a director of the Suburban
Railway Company, against Charles ii.
Turner, formerly president Of the Su-
burban Railway Company, the German
Savings Institution, Ellis Wainwright
and others, decided to-day that the
plaintiff was entitled to recover $4,000,
the Doodle fund placed on deposit with
the Lincoln Trust Company by the
Suburban Railway Company, to bribe
members of the House of Delegates,
for the reason that Mr.. Nicolaus was
ignorant of the purposes for which the
money was TO be applied"
IF this suit were brought" said
Judge Wood, by Turner, who was the
maker of the note, the court would
probably not grant any relief.
The testimony submitted to Judge
Wood showed that on November Y,
1900, Charles H. Turner, then president
Of the ST. Louis and Suburban Com
pany, borrowed from the German Saw
ings Institution the sum of $4,000, for
which he executed two notes. Nicho-
laus. as one of the Suburban Company
directors, authorized the loan, indors-
ing the notes on which the money was
secured.
The money thus obtained was de-
posted in a box in the safety vault
of the Lincoln Trust Company, to be
used in bribing members of the House
of Delegates to procure the passage of
an ordinance for the benefit of the Su-
burban Street Railway Company. One
key to the box was held by Philip Stock,
as legislative or financial agent of the
Suburban Company, and the other by
John K. Murrell, business agent of the
House of Delegates combine. These
facts from time to time came out in the
testimony of former President Turner
and other witnesses in the trials of
various members of the House of Dele
gates convicted of bribery. and in the
confessions of members of the House
combine who turned States evidence
Judge Wood in his decision said:
THE fund In controversy does not
come within the law of escheats, and
could not be appropriated by the State
under the statute relating to escheats,
nor can 1t be confscated by the State .

RULING FAVORS
COLONEL O'NEIL
Murasky Decides That He
Can Dismiss Bandsmen for
the Good of the Service

The twenty-five members of the
First Regiment Band, National Guard,
marched into court and then marched
out again with their little grievance
against Colonel Thomas F. O'Neil.
Judge Murasky in a brief but pointed
son ct al. against the colonel by de-
Gliding that they had not taken the
proper course-that is, carried their
troubles to the commanding officer
not interfere He sustained the de-
murrer to the complaint and dis
charged the restraining order issued in
September to prevent the colonel from
discharging the bandmen for the
good of the service" In asking for
the injunction the men also demanded
$4,000 damages for loss of prospec-
tive pay and injured regulations.
The difficulties begun before the
regiment went to Camp Atascadero.
Colonel ONeil let Chief Musician
George Hollister out for good of the
service" Hollister demanded his
music sheets and other property and
sued the colonel for $50 in the JUS
tees Court for property retained. He
lost. Then the other bandmen, fearing
a like discharge and maintaining that
they could not be let out "dishonor-
ably" without court-martial, brought
the Injunction suit. Colonel ONeil
said yesterday that there was nothing
in the book" relating to discharge
''for good of the service" but it had
been practiced for fifteen years and
custom makes law. He would not say
what he would do, as a new colonel
was to be elected last night. but inti-
mated that there might be something
in the wind before his successor quail
fies-about three weeks hence.
The annual election of officers for
the First Regiment of Infantry, Ma
tional Guard of California, was held
at the armory, Page and Cough
streets, last night and resulted in the
election of Major George Filmer to
the rank of colonel, Major Thomas J..
McCreagh as lieutenant colonel, Cap
tain Frank Eggert as major. The vote
for second major was a tie between
Captain George T. Ballinger and Cap
tain Walter S. Kelly After the cleo
ton the newly elected officers ad-
journed to a nearby cafe and partook
of a banquet.
