dorsement of the newspaper men,

ings in the country. After studying
the newest and most modern associ-
alton buildings of the east, Architect

given over to a members parlor, social

HIS DANCING MOLARS DESTROY
OLD SOLDIERS PEACE OF MIND

anxious to again enjoy the mode of
eating practiced during his boyhood,
the old soldier let drive with both sets
of worries at once.
But the teeth leaped from their
places, ticl1led the meat as they passed
and Topped into Walkers right jaw.
Things continued to go wrong from
that time on. Walker had paid $40
for the teeth and he suffered his ago
nies with the extreme fortitude of the
American soldier, putting up a shining
front when out in public, but looking
decidedly down in the mouth when i'll
his private apartments.
But all things have a limit, and
Walker got more than his share of
trouble. The habit of lodging sudden
ly when drinking ones coffee in order
TO avoid swallowing ones teeth or of
jumping up when the teeth miscued
and bit him, was mingled with the
peculiar sensations of having his teeth
side step, lock step, upper cut and
sonlersault in his mouth whenever he
tried to eat.
He thought of the many fine days
when he ate his cruel and corn cakes
with his two former teeth. Yes, he
had had just the two teeth, but they
We're old-fashioned, slow fellows, and
he had come to know them like a
brother through long acquaintance
They had none of the modern improve
ments of these other teeth and Walker
considered himself to be too old to
take up with a set of dancing molars.
He accordingly looked up the den-
lists record and claims to have found
that the doctor had no license.
Yesterday, after the facts had been
presented, Justice Pierce decided that
the complaint had been improperly
drawn and sustained a demurrer to 1t
and the dentist was released. A fur
ther complaint may be sworn out by
Walker, and in the meantime his teeth
are somewhere in the wilderness sur
rounding Sawtelle, chasing grasshop-

ST. JOHN SCORES OLD PARTIES
Ex-Governor of Kansas Exhorts His
Hearers to Vote as They
PRAY

Ex-Governor John P. st. John of
Kansas addressed an enthusiastic au-
dience of Prohibitionists at Elks' hall
last night. Both the old parties" he
said, stand upon the same platform.
The only difference being that one de-
clares for tariff reform, while the other
proposes to reform the tariff"
He criticised the Philippine policy,
condemned the navy, and immigration,
and said he did not believe in protect
ing everything but muscle.
The speaker stated that the consump-
ton of liquor per capita had increased
from two gallons in 1864 to twenty gall
Ions in 1904. He said: "There are now
250, 900 saloons in the country and there
is not a saloon-keeper in all the land
who is not either a Republican or a
Democrat. This country is travelling
rapidly toward universal drunkenness
and no nation can live half drunk and
half sober, with apologies to Lincoln" "
He then proceeded to criticise his own
party, declaring that ii must now
broaden out and consider some of the
other great issues, citing the trusts.
In conclusion he eXhorted his audience
to break away from the two old parties
and vote as they pray.

When a mans teeth leave his gums
at unexpected moments, side step Just
s. he is about to nip some particularly
juicy morsel of beefsteak or OCCASION
ally bite him, is that man entitled to
charge the dentist who made the teeth
with practicing dentistry without a
license.
DIR. C. E. Bathrick of sawtellc was
arrested by Constable Cline several
days ago on charge of practicing den-
tistry without a license. He was re-
leased on his own recognizance by JUS
tice Pierce and yesterday he appeared
in court while his attorneys fought to
have the complaint against him dis
MISSED.
The charge against Bathrick was
brought by John o. Walker, an old
soldier at Sawtelle. The grievance of
Walker was a long one. He had Wis
tied Bathrick some weeks ago and
the dentist had examined what re-
manned of his teeth.
There were only two teeth left,
anyhow, explained the grieving pa
tient, but he pulled them out and made
some new ones which didn't fit me-"
When Walker appeared among his
comrades at Sawtelle with a fine shin
ing set of new teeth he was the envy
of all. He became several inches
taller in his own estimation and he
strutted about that all might see the
twenty-four beautiful tombstones
which marked the spots where the
original worries had once snuggled.
Yes, he was certainly the village
pride, and his teeth were the talk of
the town. Women talked of those
teeth over their tea and men looked
upon their loveliness and groaned with
envy.

BUSINESS DISTRICT TO
GET CONDUIT SYSTEM
RESIDENCE SECTION WILL NOT
BE FAVORED
Two Miles of Underground Work
Probably viii Be Done in the Por-
ton of the City Bounded by Main,
Hill, Seventh and Eleventh Streets

1t Is incumbent on the board of pub
lie works to name district in which
two miles of wires shall be placed under
ground before the first of November,
and it is highly probable that these two
miles will be in the coming portion Of
the business section.
The proposition came up before the
board yesterday afternoon and a petit
ton was presented, signed by the i'm
provement associations of Broadway,
Main, Spring and Hill streets, asking
that the two miles to be named this
year embrace Main street from Seventh
to Eleventh, Spring and Broadway to
their intersection with Main street, Hill
street to Ninth street, Ninth street from
Main to Figueroa and all the cross
streets between Main and Hill, with
Tenth and Eleventh streets as south
ern terminus.
The reason given for extending the
conduit system on Ninth street to
Figueroa is that the property owners
on that street will erect a handsome
system of electroliers between Main and
Figueroa, on the same plan as those on
Broadway, the entire expense of which
will be borne by the property owners,
including the lighting.
Petitions were also presented from
the Temple Street Improvement asso-
citation, asking that that street from
Main to Grand avenue be included in
the conduit system to be named this
year, and one from property owners on
Grand avenue, who want the system to
embrace their street from First to
Pico.
1t is the idea of the board. with the
chief of the fire department, city cleo
trician and street superintendent that
the business district should receive the
first consideration and instead of divid-
ing the two miles and taking in parts
of the residence district, as was done
last year, the two miles will be taken
as a whole.
Last years plans proved a failure as
far as getting the wires under ground
on West Adams street was concerned.
The lighting companies made arrange
ments with the property owners to
place the poles in their alleys and back
lots. Chairman Kern stated yesterday
that the companies had not complied
with the ordinance, as they had failed
to take the poles off the streets, al
though the wires had ! cen transferred.

door next it, with something clutched
tightly in his hand. With one keen
glance he observed the shabbiness of
the poorly dressed woman before him.
