announced himself to the members of
his family they were much surprised.
His wife and six children are alive
and there are several grandchildren.

Many and various are the re-

false Impressions in many instan-

csptionally fine crop prospects and
BY comparison perhaps would lead
one not acquainted with this coun-
try to believe average crops were
none of the best. Later, after the
bot weather came, reports went out
that the grain was badly damaged
and the yield would be only about
One-half Of what it should. This
report was again corrected later
when harvest commenced and the
damage from hot weather declared

average one. All the reports were
partially true but need explana

Later 1t was found that the damage

The most youthful horsethief in Los
Angeles was captured last night by
found Leroy Brasher, an S-year-old
negro child, trying to sell a Shetland
pony and cart at Pico street and Cen
trail avenue.
The boy admitted to the constable
that he had taken the pony and cart
from Ninth and Enterprise streets
without permission of the owner. He
said that he had no intention of steal
ing the pony, but that he took the cart
in order to drive about town. He told
the constable that he became tired of
driving after time, and fearing
to take the pony back where he found
it, concluded that he would sell the
turnout and maybe have enough to
buy himself an automobile"
The constable took charge of the
pony and cart, but being unable to find
the owner, turned 1t over to the care
of the police. He went with young
Brasher to his home, 1924 Birch street.
and told the child's parents what had
happened. They were much surprised,
but begged to keep the child at home
which request was granted after they
promised to send him to court today
should any complaint be made against
him by the owners of the pony and cart.

ICE SKATING RINK IS
PLANNED BY COMPANY
lncorporators May Give AngeIenos a
Taste of OId-Fashoned
Winter

Wouldn't it be a joke to go into a
Los Angeles clothing store and ask for
a fur overcoat, a woolen scarf, a cap
with ear mufflers and pair of double
weight mittens? And wouldn't it be
fun to show the native Californians
a thing or two of which they know
nothing?
The Los Angeles Ice Skating COM
pany took out articles of Incorporation
yesterday and the intention is to give
Angelenos something that will make
their feet bruised, their ankles stiff and
their heads sore If they have a prefer
ence for skating upside down.
The plan is to have real ice-not the
kind that Eliza of "Uncle Toms Cabin"
used in crossing the river and the rest
of the theatrical company for trunks,
but real ice with the cold sensation
still portion of it.
Los Angeles is to be given the first
opportunity to see how exciting ice
skating Is. If 1t is not a success here
the plant will be taken to Death valley,
where as a special indueement for the
sale OF skating tickets the company
will give chunks Of ice to eat.

A HEAD, BY A FAMOUS ARTIST.
o@NNNNN%%@~.


"Amazingv the favorite ejaculation
of the brilliant and eccentric artist
James Mcneil Whistler, is the word
which seems best to fit the curious
combination of personal peculiarities-
mischievous wit, tricksy jests, gay
quarrels, harmless vanities and re-
markable artistic performance-reveal-
ed in Mortimer Menpes' recent recol-
lections Of his Master" The eccen-
tricities of Whistler's character were
matched by those of his appearance,
for he never dressed like anybody else,
and he had, just over his left eye, a
single lock of white hair amid a mass
Of black curls. His own interest in
his appearance was great, for he re-
garded the composition of costume
and coiffure with the same seriousness
which he would have bestowed upon
the composition Of picture-and, in
deed, the result was Enthusiastically pic
turesque
customers ceased to be interested
in their own hair" says Mr.. Menpes,
Of Whistler's entrance into a BARRIERS
shop. Operators stopped their manip-
ulations; every one turned to watch
Whistler, who himself was supremacy
unconscious. His hair was first trim
med, but left rather long, Whistler
meanwhile directing the cutting of ev-
cry lock as he watched the barber in
the glass He, poor fellow, only too
conscious of the delicacy of his task,
shook and trenbled as he manipulated
the scissors. The clipping completed,
Whistler waved the operators impe-
riously on one side, and we observed
for some time the rear view of his
dapper little figure, stepping back
ward and forward surveying himself
in the glass. Suddenly he put his head
into basin of water, and then, half
driving his hair, shook it into matted
wet curls. With comb he carefully
picked out the white lock, wrapped it
in a towel and walked about for five
minutes, pinching it dry, with the rest
Of his hair hanging over his face-a
stage which much amused the onlook-
erS.
"Stll pinching the towel, he would
then beat the rest Of his hair into
ringlets (combing would not have CIV

This procured, he would comb the
white lock into feathery plume, and

hand form the. whole into a picture.
Then he would look beamingly at him

words: 'Menpes, amazingv and sail

What's the Matter.

In. certain town in the North OF
Ireland there is a fishing- tackle shop,
the sign whereof is a braZen trout
hanging at the end Of fishing-rod Of
massive proportions. Late one night
townsman who had been dining mot
wisely but too well' happened to see
this fish. He looked at it. then went
cautiously to the door and knocked
gently.
who's thele?" demanded the shop
keeper from an upper window.
''Sh-h! Don't make a noise, but
come down as quickly as you cam"
was the reply.
Thinking something serious was the
matter the man arose and stole down
stairs.
"Now, what's the matter?' he in
quired.
''Pull your line in quick you have
got bite" roared the tipsy one as he
erratically turned a corner.
