CARRY A. NATIONS LECTURE
Heard BY an Immense Audience al the
0pers House Last Night.

The opera house was packed 10 its
full capacity last night by repre-
sentative audience about equally di-
vided as 10 sex and embracing both
town and country people, to hear
the lecture OF Mrs. Garry A. Nation,
the world famous Kansas saloon
smasher. Instead OF producing a
hatehet, Mrs. Nation held In her
hand for the greater part Of the dis
course a Bible, and her familiarity
with the scriptures proved not the
least striking of her characteristics.
Those who have read only stories OF
her eccentricities, and were looking
merely for pyrotechnics and sensa-
tionalism, must have had large
measure OF disappointment. She de-
voted only a small portion Of time TO
her saloon smashing and jail expe-
riences, severe as the latter were.
The body finer discourse was given
TO strong plea for the home, tenn
perance, social purity, official integ-
rity and good government. She se-
verely arraigned the liquor traffic
and license system and the sale aud
use of liquors and tobacco; also the
government as a party to the trans
action. She raped up good and

THE FIREsIDE ELEPHANT

All me, how frequently | pant
To be Il stately elephant,
With skin so thick and strength SO great
He scorns the puny tricks of fate,
The while his shoulders well may bear
A really untold weight of care.
All, were he. | will aver
I'd be Il model householder!
'Tis possible. l grant you that,
He is not suited to a fiat;
Yet you'll admit at once that he
Is builded for economy.
He need not Stoop to pick things up;
He wants no valet. cook or maid;
His hand is spoon and fork and cup,
And cen a straw for lemonade.
And when the ico-box hoard has shrunk
To puny size in fourth-foor rears,
He takes a shower bath from his trunk
And sits q tanning with his ears.
Or when the days are wntrY chill,
And windows must the air exclude,
He leaves his nose across the sill,
While folks below prepare their food!
Show me the man who would not pant
To be a gentle elephant!

the morning to milk the COWS and
found about twenty elephants in the
barnyard. making the COWS do a song
and dance. Pa told them there was no
danger at all cause he would take
any elephant by the tail and snap its
head off, like boys snap the heads off
garter snakes, and told them that me
and the senator's boy stampeded the
elephants and we could drive them back
to town like a drove of sheep.
The farmers thought we were great
and they followed us back to the farm,
where we found the herd of elephants
had taken possession and were having
the time of their lives. About dozen
of the big elephants had found couple
of barrels of cider i'm a shed and had
been drinking it, and when we got
there they were like section hands with
jags on.
Bolivar, the big elephant, was the
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-29

drunkest, and when he saw pa coming
with the gang of hands, with ropes and
spears he winked at the other ele-
phants and seemed to say: watch
me tree EN-" for he came out of the
gate and beloved, and made charge
at the gang, and pa beat them all go
ing up crab apple trees. The senator
son saw pa up a. tree and he said: "Old
gentleman. if these are your animals
or insects, or whatever they are, you
ought to come down off your perch
and take them to a Kelley cure, be-
cause they are intoxicated"
And pa came down and took a fence
rail and sharpened it with an AK, and
he run it into BOLIVIA about foot,
and Bolivar trumpeted for surrender
and that settled the elephant strike,
for pa ordered Bolivar into the road,
and in five minutes the whole herd OF
elephants was following Bolivar back
to Washington, as meek as drunken
husband being led home by his wife.
Gee. what do you think? The presl-
dent heard how the senator's boy and
stampeded the elephants and invited
the senator's boy to bring his young
circus friend around to the White House
to supper. Well, we went.
I forgot what we had to eat, was so
interested in the presidents conrersA-
tion. He talked about the show bust
ness as though he had been ring
master in a circus. He said he was in
the show the day before when we

vices and good will as freely and be
accorded them as heartily as could any
citizen of the battle born state.
After his splendid success in the
Crown Point, Jones started in to de
velop the Panamint mines, and found
that he must reach them via Los An
geIes and The Cajon pass. Transporta-
ton by wagon by such a route was eN-
ceediugly eXtravagant, and, as Jones
thought much of the future of his
Panamint mines, he evolved the stu
pendous plan of building railway be-
tween Los Angeles and Independence,
in Inyo county. He undoubtedly con-
templated extending his road to Salt
Lake if everything went we'll
Senator Jones Coming
Having reached this conclusion, and
finding himself in the possession Of
practically unlimited means, Senator
Jones came down to Los Angeles and
looked over the coast. He WAS satisfied
that Santa Monica formed an ideal
place for a port, and after some nego-
tiations he purchased d three-quarters
interest of COL Bakers san Vicente
y Santa Monica rancho. which gave
him Il water front of several miles and
a capital site for town, WharVeS and
bathing beach. He at once placed his
engineers in the field laying out the
Los Angeles branch of the Los Angeles
& independence railway. This portion
of the road was rushed under the su-
pervision of Col. Joseph L. Crawford,
now and for many years past of the en-
gineerng department of the Pennsyl-
Vania railway. At the same time he
sent Engineer John f. jackson up to
the Cajon pass to survey and eXcaNate
a tunnel at that place. Work was also
pushed on a wharf to accommodate
freight and passenger traffic.
Work was sent ahead so eXpedi-
tiously that by July of 1873 everything
was ready to formally open the town of
Santa Monica by "A sale of town lots.

San Francisco on which was Hon. Tom

oratorical exercises were of the super
fine order. with such a fugelman, or
that the lots went off at premium.

PECKS BAD BOY WITH THE CIRCUS

political opponent is up on a limb
snarling and showing his teeth at the
dogs or the politicians, and then you
ride up, look the ground over, wait till
your heart stops beating and fire the
shot at Il vital part, and your bear or
your political opponent comes tumbling
to the ground. When he ceases to kick
you put your foot on his neck and feel
sorry you killed him. but you go to
work and skin him and hang his hide
on the fence. Then you have got to
ride all night to get to camp, if it is Il
bear, and work harder than a man in
a treadmill for four years, if it is a
presidential candidate you have skun." :"
l had sat with my mouth open while
the president talked, and, never said
word, but when he quit / said: Yes,
but suppose when you get your bear
skun, another bear should come after
you, and dare you to knock a chip off
his shoulder and growl, and walk side
ways with his bristles all up, would
you run or would you stand your
ground?"
I'VE better change the subject" said
the president, and rose from the table,
and we all got up. He patted me on
the head. and said: Tell your pa |

time you run your circus and | will try
to run mine"
The queerest thing happened that
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-29

as rapidly as the prophets gourd or
green bay tree
Unfortunately it so happened that
William c. Ralston, the president of the
Bank of California, like the Nevada
senator, was a man of expansive pro-
jects. At the time Jones was occu-
pied in building his railroad, Ralston
was engaged with his Montgomery
street extension, erecting the Palace
hotel and other expensive plans. From
first to last, purchase of lot, building
and furnishing that superb fabric cost
Ralston So. 100000. Demands came heavy
and all at once on this pioneer financier
of the Pacific coast. His partners, D.
O. Mills and Senator Sharon, showed
no disposition to stand in with him.
and the sensitive Ralston put phial
of poison in his vest pocket, walked out
to the North Beach and jumped into the
ocean. from which he was fished amidst
the mourning of a whole people, who
knew their friend was gone.
The celebration of the completion of
the Los Angeles &, Independence rail-
way took place about the middle of
July The Ralston episode supervened
two months later. The suicide was con-
temporaneous with the temporary
closing of nearly every bank in Cali"
fornia. and was signalized by the fail
ure of the Temple e Workman bank
for good here. Ready money was Il
hard thing to get hold of and the build
ing of railroads out of their own
pockets by gentlemen of generous and
expansive ideas became a practice more
honored in the breach than in the per-
formanCe.
The Southern Pacific railway had
looked with high disfaVOr on Jones
invasion of their territory. and, as the
story goes, presented $265,000 of his
notes in a lump.
At that time it didn't look propitious
to the senator for railroad building,
and he preferred to sell his road to
taking the eventualities of the future
Before parting with his interests to
the railroad magnates, however he Of
fered the people of Los Angeles first
choice, an opportunity of which they
did not choose to avail themselves
notwithstanding the panic of 1873,
Santa Monica grew straight along; but
it must be confessed that her growth,
however rapid, is being distanced out
of sight by the meteoric progress of
such places as Ocean Park Venice and
Long Beach, and within the past two
months, San Pedro. This lightning

THE show remained in Washington
two days, cause it took all one
a day and night to catch the ele-
phants after the senator's boy and l
turned the rats and mice loose in the
ring while the elephants were forming
a pyramid. Pa and all the circus hands
had to go away down toward the Bull
Run battlefield to round them up, and
young Mr.. Senator let me ride one Of
his ponies, and he and L went along to
help catch the elephants.
We went out through Alexandria to-
ward Bull Run battlefield, There we

some farmers coming into Alexandria

people out west when the Indians go

night. The senator's boy spoke of our
trained seals, that catch a fish if you
throw it to them and swallow it whole.
He said it would be fun to take little
alarm clock and sew it up in a fish, and
set the alarm at Z o'clock p. M, when
the crowd is watching the seals swallow
fish. and throw it to the big seal, and
the alarm would go off inside him.
