Why Summer Stays

Fair summer fingers long, you say?
IT'S autumns turn? All, yes;
But there are reasons for the stay
OF summer. Can't you guess?
In California's southland fine,
Who would not do the same?
So summer stays beyond her time
And, truly, who can blame?

NESTS OF NEPOTISM

Life insurance appears to have been secondary
matter viewed by the managers of the three big
panies in New York The primary object the entry
of themselves into the millionaire class and the enrich
ment of whole groups of relatives.
Take, for example, the revelations just brought out
in regard to the Mutual Life company of the
president Of that has been for several years
enjoying high life in Europe the proceeds of commits
sions received from the company aggregating $1705,
ISL son-inlaw of that president has received in like
manner, reported $920,113,
This is of the most astounding revelations that
has to light in the United States In each
of the three companies disclosed by testimony has
the custom of the managers shovel OUT almost
literally the money of policy holders into pockets
of relatives And this money sacred for the
support of millions of widows and orphans, accumulated
largely from hard-earned savings of husbands and
fathers
What will be the outcome Of these astounding dis
closures in the guse of life insurance? There should
be three leading results First the criminal prosecution
of all persons responsible; second enforced restitution
of every dollar involved third, radical departure
in life insurance methods that will make such i'm
possible future and that will restore public confidence
in the safety and security of life insurance funds.

A Couple From Kansas

A writer In the Humboldt Q<as) Herald
relates this story: He was as mild a man
nered man as ever pointed a bottle OF
whisky over the bar at young man.
Like good many men who kept bar
he was a tender loving, kind, indulgent
husband and father. He was a habitless
man-did not drink, smoke, chew or
swear. One Sunday 1 went to his house
and asked him to go to church that night.
WELL" he replied, II don't often go, but
I will go with you tonight" We created
quite a sensation as we walked up the
aisle-way up to the front pew. 1 was
rather proud of my capture. He joined
in all the hymns, and very quietly laid a
81 bill on the plate. 1t was a meeting of
presbytery and the church was full of
preachers During one of the hymns l
bent over and whispered: "Old man, how
do you feel?' II feel like lion in den
Of Daniels"
There were twenty-five Pullmans and
two diners in the belated double-header
train that was seven hours late, on its
way into Portland" says the Eldorado
Republican. 'It was II o clock and many
of the passengers had not been to break
fast They were lined up in the vestibule,
ing woman crowded her way we'll up to
the diner and tapping an Eldorado girl
on the arm said: will you be so kind as
to step aside and permit me to get into
the dining car? We belong to the COVER
nors party What governors? inquired
the fair Eldorado damsel. I see the gov
ernor of Texas and several other COVER
nors are on the train The governor of
Colorado she replied with much asperity.
Which governor? retorted the Eldorado
girl; there are Governor Adams, Gov
ernor Peabody and Governor Mcdonald
We are the Governor Mcdonald party
and would like to get to the dining car
L am Angelina Clementina Sunfiower of
Kansas, and am just as hungry as the
Governor of Colorado charmingly replied
our Eldorado girl-and the crowd clapped
their hands and shouted 'Hurrah for
Kansas
Just now "a man in towns worth two

Some women in this town wear heels so
high that they have to walk down hill

Wishes
IF wishes were horses, the beggars might

If wishes came true, we'd get more things
beside;
For then we'd wish Alphonso'd wed;
Insure that grafters would be dead;
We'd wish the Russian and the Jap
Would settle down and cease to zap;
We'd wish the Dutch and English might
| Cease making faces, or would fight;
| We'd wish rail rates and tariffs would
Be told so they'd be understood:
We'd wish the ice round Teddy'd thaw,
| So we could tell what's wrong with
Shaw
But most of all, we'd wish, you bet,
That Christmas was year off yet!

COMMISSION INSPECTS
CITY PLEASURE GROUNDS
DECIDES UPON IMPROVEMENTS
TO BE MADE
Westlake, EIysian, Terrace, Occidental
and Griffith Parks Visited--Six
Deer and Many Quail Are Found
in Latter Place by Board

Members of the park commission
made their regular inspection of the
city pleasure grounds yesterday, visit
ing the new Terrace park, Elysian
park, Westlake park, Griffith park and
Occidental boulevard, which is sue
cssion of small parks.
The commission was pleased with
Terrace park, which has recently been
laid out near Pico and Alvarado streets.
The fountain in this park is rapidly
nearing completion and is one of the
most attractive features of this beauti-
full little grass plot.
1t Is large stone structure, and
under it is room that has been made
into a lavatory for the convenience
of the public and tool house for the
workmen, doing away with an unsightly
building on the grounds for the ac-
commodation of tools. The residents
of the neighborhood contributed largely
toward building this fountain.
At Westlake park the commission
found that by the liberal use of chemi-
Gals the disagreeable odors which pre-
vailed last summer have entirely dis
appeared. The commission will build Il
new lavatory west of the old one and
have rustic chairs placed throughout
the park.
AT Griffith park, which is left chiefly
in its natural state, the members of tht:
commission caught a fleeting glimpse of
some Of the wild deer that are reported
to make their haunts in this place.
The board expects that this park may
soon become small deer preserve and
is doing all it can to encourage deer
to make their home there. Water has
been placed in convenient spots and
already six deer have been counted in
the park. Quail and other wild game
are PLENTIFUL but the commission allows
no shooting.
