Bathe In the Surf

The development of Abbot Kinney's
dream city, Venice of America" To-

coast resort nearest to Los Angeles by
electric railway, is rapidly forging
ahead. Everybody goes to Venice sum-
mer and winter to bathe in the surf
and enjoy the many delights of beach
life.
Windward avenue at Venice is as
familiar to Angelenos and eastern visit

everybody makes it a point to visit the
great assembly hall and ship hotel on
the pleasure pier, while thousands find
accommodations at the stately ST.
Marks hotel, and added pleasure in

Not His Bill

A Massachusetts, judge, who came
from rural village, in his home town
had a reputation for liberality. He
always kept up his interest in his old
neighbors and was glad to meet them
no matter how rustic their appearance.
On one occasion the judge had some
business in Boston. and there met an
old farmer from his birthplace, who
was taking an unwonted holiday and
looking rather bewildered. The Judge
invited the old man to dine with him
at the hotel. When the farmer took his
seat at the table one Of the walters
laid a bill of fare before him. The old
man looked at 1t, and then, turning
round to look the waiter squarely in the
face, he said, in a tone that rang
through the dining room: mo need TO
gimme that, young feller. Judge
Brown caPlates to settle my bill. He
came from our town, an I know his
ways."-New York Tribune.

 The publishing of MT. Bustons estimate cf 1O.25O000 1naXium, has evidently been taken seriously by European spinners if the larger spot sales are an indication. The movement has been more in keeping with small crop ideas and on this deyel- opment there developed some speculative activity on the part of the public. The weekly statement of statistics supported the long side of the market and encour- aged American operators to bull the mar ket today to the tune of $2 per bale, not wlthstanding Liverpool to have been lit tie easier than looked for which, how ever, was Attributed to weekend realiz- ing.
