GIRLS WITS WIN.
Giant Negroes Conversational Ability
Not Equal to Woman's.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Friends of
D. Scnwab, art connoisseur of East
Seventy second street, are congratu
lating her upon the remarkable cool
ness she displayed one night last
week when she returned from the
horse show and surprised a giant ne
gro burglar in ner room. Removing
her wraps Miss Schwab opened the
door leading to a closet to procure
kimona. A negro sprang out of the
closet and seized her by the wrists
The terrified young woman screamed
Dare to scream again and I'll kill
you," said the negro.
Asked Her to be Seated.
His words seemed to compose Miss
Schwab. Without releasing his hold
on her wrists, the negro led Miss
Schwab to a chair and told her to be
said:
Now, don't be frightened; I am not
going to injure you. Is there any
thing I can do for your.
"Tll thank you if you will hand me
a wrap" she answered.
Certainly" was the reply, as the
wrap was given to her.
What do you want here?" asked
the young woman.
Money" answered the negro my
wife and children are sick: I am out
Of work; never did such a thing as
this before; I am forced to it."
Came to Wrong Place.
well, I'm. afraid that you have
come to the wrong place. answered
Miss Scnwab. "I don't think have

MAYOR CLAIMS CITY is PAYING
TOO HIGH RATE ON
BONDS.
Ordinances Passed Providing for the
Paving of Several More Streets
in WalIa WaIIa.

Acting on the advice of Mayor
Hunt the judiciary committee is to
take proper action whereby bonds
that are issued by the city in payment
ing streets in the new local improve
ment districts, may be f1oated at a
lower rate of interest than is now
being paid. Mayor Hunt stated that
he believed that the bonds could be
floated at four per cent inter-
est, which would be saving of one
per cent He also instructed the city
attorney to look up the matter of
giving notice to property owners
that interest on local Improvement
bonds would fall due at certain times.
He said that so far but very few
of those interested were aware of
the time the interest fell due and he
desired more efficient method than
that now pursued.
Paving Ordinances Passed.
Ordinances were passed providing
for the assessing CT property to pay
for the necessary expense of paw
ing Fourth street from the north
bank of Mill creek to Elm street;
Elm street from North Fourth to the
o. r. &, N depot; Spokane street from
East Main to Alder and the alley
between Alder and Poplar street
from Third to Fourth street
Water Proposition Passed Up.
Just before the council adjourned
Councilman Cox attempted to call
up the water proposition, but as the
other councilmen We're not inclined
to consider the subject, the matter
was passed up. Mayor Hunt said
that he had been ready for the mat
ter for ov err three years and hoped
that the council would take action at
once.
Miscellaneous Business.
An ordinance regulating bill post
ing and advertising by the use Of
posters was referred to the judiciary
committee.
The street committee recommended
the sale of a lot owned by the city
on Birch street to w. L. Harshell for
the sum Of $400.
Frank Engleman was refunded the
unearned portion of his liquor Ii
cense.
The street committee reported that
the paving of streets in districts 16,
II and 10 had been completed in ac-
cordance with the contract.
A correction in the assessment Of
Joseph Ringel in District No. was
ordered made.
The bids for advertising and print
ing were referred to the finance COM
mittee.
A petition for a street light at the
intersection of Cypress and Otis
streets was referred to the light
committee.
The action of Mayor Hunt in ap-
proving the liquor bond of William
Refer was ratified.

much money with me. I might get
it for YOU"
mo, no." replied the negro. Don't
mind about getting it. How much
money have you?"
Miss Schwab opened her purse and
found three dollars.
You'll have to do better than that,
Three dollars will hardly fill my
wants." said the negro.
We'll, take my jewelry," answered
the girl. Take anything, but please
CO."
No Jewels for Him.
mo, 1 don't want jewelry,' answered
the negro; that would lead to my ar
rest when 1 try Ito sell or pawn it, ]
have failed in coming here; 1 am go
ing to leave, but l cannot do so with
out word of praise to you. You are
the nerviest woman 1 ever saw.
by the way, if you have that So
guess II ltake it," said the negro.
Miss Schwab gave him the money
and the highwayman bowed himself
out. Miss Schwab awakened her fam
lily and then collapsed.

What Hind of
fINANCIFR
Are You?

To sell a lot of ground for $50 less
than il would bring If So were ex-
pended in advertising it is very COM
mon-if not very merchandising.
To sell shop or store for $4,000 when
$40 worth of advertising would have
found the man willing to pay $500
more for it-tnat is near sighted
Remembering.
To allow a house or apartment to re-
main tenantless for three months,
when SIS worth OF advertising would
have rented it in three days-is not
a good way to manage property"
but it is a very usual way!
Through all the little affairs of daily
life we are apt to thus trample upon
all of the financial Commandments
making ourselves the poorer, and
nobody else especially the richer

MEN ARE MUTINOUS.
Serious Friction Between the Commander
and Crew of the United States
Cruiser Galveston.

Galveston. Tex, April 26.-A
state of friction almost bordering
on mutiny IS said to exist on the
new United States cruiser Calves
ton. The vessel arrived here last
Wednesday on her maiden trip to
receive silver service from the
citizens of Galveston. The cruiser
has been visited by thousands of
people from all sections of the
State.
Yesterday Commander Cutler
ordered his ship away from the
wharves, where she had been since
her arrival, to an anchorage in the
roads so that the officers might be
better able to control the men,
numbers of whom were leaving the
ship and overstaying their shore
leaves. Federal and municipal
officers have returned nearly two
score of men found ashore to the
vessel, many of whom were said to
have been intoxicated. These men
vigorously protested, against the
treatment, which, they allege, is
accorded them on board the ship
by Commander Cutler. Men of
long service who came from the
vessel on shore duty and local
people who were on board today
state that condition verging on
mutiny is existing there.
The men, among them several
petty officers of long service, pro-
nounce the voyage of the Calves
ton the most unbearable they have
ever experienced.
Many of the men denounce the
commander and state that they are
overworked and underfed. They
claim that for the most trivial
offense they are given the extreme
penalty, and that sixty of the men
are in irons. The marines are said
to be almost worn out preserving
order on board. The cruiser sailed
for Norfolk at noon today.

THE age limit for enlistment IN
the army being lowered to eighteen
wears, will doubtless have the
effect of increasing considerably the
number of enlistments. There are
probably more youths of this age
who would like to wear the uniform
than there are men of more mature
years, the latter being much more
apt to have settled employment
than the former. The glamour or
the soldier life is also much more
likely to tempt the boy than the
man. However, the provision re-
quiring certificate of permission
from parents or guardians will
serve to restrict this class of APP
plicants to a great extent.

REQUISITES FOX TRUCK
- GROWZNG.

Truck growing, more than or
dinarv farming perhaps, certainly
more than many other forms OF
occupation, requires experience
skill, painstaking care, thrift, en-
ergy, patience, intelligence and
above all, industry in order to
make If a success. Lacking eX-
perience. which can only be gained
BIZ actually engaging III any Pur-
suit. one may profit by observing
the experience of others, and, if he
be willing to learn, and possess the
other qualifications named, the
new and untried truck grower may
get along. without making mistakes
and achieve satisfactory results
while obtaining experience for
himself. Care and intelligence are
necessary in the selection of seeds
and plants, and also when it comes
to transplanting from the seed beds.
Inferior seeds or weak, sickly
plants will produce poor results.
Thrift and energy are indispen-
sable to keep crops in thriving
condition. Patience IS necessary
to bear losses caused by pests,
inopportune rains or other unfa-
vorable weather conditions and to
retrieve such losses by replanting
or other measures. A cheerful
hopeful disposition IS a great help
in truck growing. Ard, above all,
the truck grower must be willing
to work early and late. Industry
NAV we'll be termed the sine qua
non of truck growing. The lazy
man would better go fishing than
to try truck farming. He would
achieve better results surely. The
man afraid of work should, by all
means, stay out of the truck bus
mess. Such an array of requisites
as these may deter some from un-
dertaking truck planting, but, If
the large profits which may be
made in this form of industry be
taken into consideration, it may be
seen that it is we'll worth trying.
Given a good slice of alluvial soil
in this valley, with irrigation at
hand for only $40 per acre, and
possessing the qualifications nam
ed, the truck farmer may count his
gains by several hundred dollars
per acre each year, have money in
the bank while the cotton man is
borrowing money to pay for his
bacon, take in all the fairs, and
soon acquire a comfortable COM
petence for his later years. Try
truck farming. but try it the right
