THE IVORY MARKET.
Tuslxs by the Acre Exhibited at the
Zig London Docks. A.

Tuslxs by the Acre Exhibited at the
Zig London Docks. 49,
One Of the sights of London is the
great ivory floor at the London docks,
where previous to and during the pc
riodical sales ivory may be seen liter
ally by the acre, for the tusks are laid
out in lots on the floor of one of the
great warehouses for inspection by in
tending purchasers. For weeks previ-
Gus to the actual sale the special staff
of the ivory department has been busy
preparing the various consignments
and arranging them according to the
sizes and quality and CHASING them
into the various grades each of which
has some particular use for which it Is
especially adapted.
There is practically no waste in the
manufacturing of articles from ivory.
The smallest chip Is not thrown away,
but carefully preserved to be utilized
for some purpose. Even the shavings
from the turning down of billiard
ball have a market value for use in in
laid work. Consequently the lots In an
ivory sale by no means consist of
tusks and sections Of tusks alone, but
include the residue from many previous
sales, Buyers purchase the particular
class that they require for their own
individual industry and subsequently
return what in most other materials
would be waste to be resold to manu-
facturers of different class of goods.
Though there is mo waste" oddly
enough the most important considera-
ton, from a buyers point of view, Is
chow much waste" will certain lot
produce in the course Of transforming
it into his own particular line. Thus
q lot that would be dear to one would
be gift to another, and vice versa.
The most valuable class of ivory is
that suitable for making billiard balls.
To conform to the requirements the
tusk must be perfectly sound and
solid, without the slightest suspicion
OF crack or flaw, and, moreover, they
must measure only a trife more than
the regulation size billiard ball or
they will cut to waste, from the manu-
facturers' point Of view. On the arriv,
al Of a consignment Of unworked ele-
plant ivory from abroad the first prep
aration for the sale floor consists Of q
thorough cleaning Of the interior OF
hollow part of the tusk. This is done
by means Of wads attached to long
sticks. The exact length of the hollow
Is thereby revealed, and in addition
cracks and flaws that cannot be OBJ
served on the exterior are at times dis
closed. Soundness is the one thing
that sways every class of buyer; flaws
| mean waste; waste means resale at
lower figure per pound.

The Way One Druggist Lighters the
Ills of His Customers.

the way OMG DruEH1Sd All8ntenS the
Ills of His Customers.
A pale, weak girl entered down
town drug store the other day. She
seemed about to collapse. The propri-
etor assisted her into chair and pre-
pared a mild stimulant for her. The
druggists manner was SO sympathetic
that little later she confided to him
that she suffered with her heart and
feared she had not much longer to live.
Heart disease?' inquired the drug
gist genially. "Why, have heart dis
ease myself; have had it for years.
That's nothing. 1 don't worry myself
about it. don't look like man with
load on his mind, do I? You prob
ably think that you are liable to drop
off any time. On the contrary, any
doctor will tell you that the average
person with heart disease generally
lives to good old age. The very care
that sufferer from heart disease takes
lengthen the years indefinitely. You
see, man with a weak heart naturally
Is careful Of himself bit. He doesn't
commit any excuses, never overdoes
anything, lives in moderation and thus
keeps his vitality unimpaired. That's
all you have to do-just take care Of
yourself, What's the use of worry
ing?"
Tie druggists cheerfulness was in
fictitious. the genial interest of his talk
made depression appear foolish, and
the girl soon began to look more hope
full and even smiled. After the drug
gist had gayly chatted with her awhile
she rose and walked out Of the store
with firm step.
This druggist. though he would scorn
the idea If suggested to him, is bene-
factor to humanity. He is believer
in the power of cheerfulness, and the
good that he does in his peculiar way
is not easy to estimate.
Not day passes that he does not
impart his message Of the cheerful life
to some despairing Individual. He
makes all others ailments his own and
points out the uselessness of worry A
man will come in bent and suffering.
Perhaps he contides to the druggist
that he has kidney disease and fears
his days are numbered. The druggist
| Immediately informs him that there is
no cause for alarm; he has had kidney
trouble himself for, oh, so many years,
| and has no intention of dropping off,
That druggist, in the course of a week,
probably will acknowledge that he is
afflicted with every ailment except
housemaid's knee. He makes every
complainer feel better. He fairly radi-
ates good cheer and optimism. It is
his belief that half the sufferers in the
world have complaints that bright
spirits will overcome. But even when
they have real disease it is his theory
that little cheerfulness doesn't hurt
and that the malady is only aggra.
waited by constant depression. He
makes it his mission in life to drive
away depression and turn the thoughts
Of people toward brighter things. His
cheerfulness is tonic that never fails
to act.-New York Press

THE REAL LINCOLN.
He Was Not HOmely, and He Was
Not SlOvenly In Dress.

He Was Not H0mely, and He Was
Not Slovenly In Dress.
For many years it has been the FASH
ion to call Mr.. Lincoln homely. He
was very tall and very thin. His eyes
were deep sunken, his skin of sallow
pallor, bis hair coarse, black and un-
ruly. Yet he was neither ungraceful
nor awkward nor ugly. His large fea-
lures fitted his large frame, and his
large hands and feet were but right on
body that measured six feet four
face, and from boyhood he had carried
lead of care. 1t is small wonder that
when alone or absorbed in thought the
face should take on deep, lines, the eyes
appear as If seeing something beyond
the vision Of other men and the shout
ders stoop as though they, too, were
bearing weight. But in moment
all would be changed. The deep eyes
could flash or twinkle merrily with hu-
NOR or look suit from under overhang-
ing brows as they did upon the Five
Points children in kindtiest gentleness.
30, too, In public speaking, when his
tall body rose to its full height, with
head thrown back and his face trans
figured with the fire and earnestness
Of his thought, he would answer Doug
las in the high, clear tenor that came
to him in the heat Of debate, carrying
his ideas SO far out over listening
crowds. And later, during the years of
war, when he pronounced with noble
gravity the words Of his famous ad-
dresses, not one in the throngs that
heard him could truly say that he was
other than handsome man.
D., It has been the fashion, too, to say
that he was slovenly and careless In
his dress. This also In mistake. His
clothes could not fit smoothly on his
gaunt and bony frame. He was no
tailor's figure Of man, but from the
first he clothed himself as well as his
means allowed and In the fashion Of
the time and place. IT, III
In reading the grotesque stories of
his boyhood, of the tall STRIPPING whose
trousers left exposed length of shin,
it must be remembered not only how
poor he was, but that he lived on the
frontier, where other boys, less poor,
were scarcely better clad. In Vandalia.
the blue jeans he wore were the dress
Of his companions as well. and later,
from Springfield days on, clear through
his presidency, his costume was the
usual suit Of black broadcloth, careful
IL made and scrupulously neat. He
cared nothing Tor style. It did mot
matter to him whether the man with
whom he talked wore q coat Of the
latest cut or owned no coat at all. It
was the man inside the coat that in
terested him. HELEN Nicolay In st.

ADMITS STEALING LINGERIE
Fined $16 for Fondness for Women's
Peek-a-Boo Stockings and
other Things

Harry Wilson, who pleaded guilty to
stealing some women's stockings and
night gowns from clothes line at 1922
Lincoln street, was fined SIS in Police
Judge Roses court yesterday after
noon.
Wilson was seen coming from out
an alley by Patrolman Story and his
pockets were bulging with the clothes
that were stuffed into them.
The policeman scented something
wrong at once and asked Wilson whot
he had i'm his pockets.
"Nuthin' but my wife's laundry" re-
piled the man.
Investigation revealed the presence
In Wilson's pockets of the most gor-
geOus creations OF the color are In
merchandise that was ever dreamed OF
by the most enthusiastic lover of
noisy hosiery and laces and fIills.
In court yesterday Wilson offered no
other excuse for his rather extraordin-
airy fascination for women's empty
hosiery than to say that he was drunk
at the time he took them.

CLERKS HOPE TO
BETTER THEIR CONDITION
MEN IN RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE
PROTEST
Two Representatives of Los Angeles
District Go to Washington to Pres
sent Their Appeal to Postmaster
General CorteIyou

If the mission of the railway mail
clerks of the country to Postmaster
General Cortelyou meets with the sue
cess due it, the mail clerks position
will become a trif1e more desirable.
Hugh G. Shaug and H. e. Pearson will
represent the clerks of this city at the
conference, together with four other
clerks from different parts of the
country.
Shaug is the originator of the scheme
for improving the clerks position,
which is of Importance to railway
clerks all over the country. The rail-
way clerks position, on account of the
poor pay and it's many disadvantages,
is scarcely a desirable one. When a
civil service examination was an
nounced for this position, not single
applicant presented himself and the
committee will urge this on the post
master general as a proof Of the disad-
vantages the place offers.
The clerks will ask Postmaster Gen.
eral Cortelyou to grant them permis-
sion to change runs without expense to
the department; to have their ex-
penses paid while they are on duty, or
else an increase of salary; and permis-
sion for the clerks to live on electric
lines having hourly service, where sat
isfactory telephone service can be Sc
cured. They intend to ask that men
injured while on duty be paid by the

ELLIS CLUB GIVES
DELIGHTFUL CONCERT
AT OLD AUDITORIUM

The members of the Ellis club out
did themselves last evening at their
opening concert In Simpson audito-
rum.
The voices of the members, who are
all men, were in such perfect harmony
that it was a pleasure to listen to
them No one voice distinguished itself
above the others, but all sang as If
with one tongue, the different range
of each voice making a perfect scale
which rose and fell uniformly with the
rhythm of the song.
All of the selections by the club were
given without accompaniment, except
the last one, "Omnipotence, by FIR.
Schubert, which came in one grand
burst of harmony with the tones of the
organ. 1t was a beautiful rendition.
Their program also included 1.-THE Sail
ors Song" by Joseph Mosenthal; 20
Were Ny Love Yon Lilac Fair" by
Harvey B. Gaul; "a Summer Lullaby" !"
by S. Archer Gibson; BLOW, Blow,
Thou Winter Wind" by H. w. Parker;
"Winter Song" by Frederic Field Bull
lard; Beam from Yonder STAR by
Fred. Field Bullard; "At Sunset" by
j. G. Conradi, and 1.-THE Brook and the
Nightingale" by Max Filke.
Miss Estelle Catharine Heartt, con-
tralto, assisted the club.
Miss Heartt has fine voice and she
uses 1t well. Her tones were clear and
her highest pitch easily reached, and
her voice in all her songs had an un-
derlying sweetness that was irresisti-
ble She sang ''Lieti Signor," by Mey--
erbeer; ''If / Knew" by Gaynar, and
Cradle Song" by Caunah.
Wenzel Kopta gave several violin
solos, and in his hands the violin
seemed to become a thing alive, with
throbbing pulses and a heart that COM
municated itself to the audience with
its first tone. His repertoire included
"Ekloge," by Veryera Zephyr" by
Hubay "Elfentanz," by Spies; "Hu-
moreske," by Dvorak, and La Cas-
cade," by Kontskl. Mrs. Harry Cliff
| ford Lott was the accompanist.
| IF this concert last evening was a
fair sample, we may expect great
things from the Ellis club this winter.

Tricked by Dyspepsia
The Doctor Couldn't Tell Where
the Trouble Lay.

For the past seven years I have
been victim of dyspepsia and chronic
constipation and have consulted the
most noted specialists to be found on
diseases of this character. None, how
ever, seemed to locate the difficulty
or give relief. In addition to this med
ical treatment, have resorted to the
use of many remedies and have given
them faithful trial, but all to no pur-
pose.
upon the recommendation of a
close friend, | purchased 50c pack
age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
in less than five days noticed that
was receiving more benefit than from
any remedy had used before. I con-
tinued to use the tablets after each
meal for one month and by that time
my stomach was in healthy condi-
tion, capable of digesting anything
which my increasing appetite demand
ed.
II have not experienced any return
of my former trouble, though three
months have elapsed since taking your
remedy"
We wish that you could see with
your own eyes the countless other
bona fide signed letters from grateful
men and women all over the land who
had suffered years of agony with dys-
pepsia, tried every known remedy and
consulted eminent specialists without
result, until they gave Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets a trial. Like the doc
tor above. they couldn't locate the
seat of the trouble
Dyspepsia is a disease which has
long baffled physicians. So difficult
of location is the disease that cure
seems next to miraculous. There is
only one way to treat dyspepsia-to
supply the elements which nature has
ordained TO perform this function and
to cause them to enter the digestive
organs. supplying the fluids which
they lack. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's alone fill these requirements, as
is shown by the fact that 10000 ply
sicians I'm the United States and Can
ada unite In recommending them To
their patients for stomach disorders.
We do not claim or expect Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets to cure anything
but disordered conditions Of the stom-
aeh and other digestive organs, but
this they never fail to do. They work
upon the inner lining of the stomach
and intestines. stimulate the gastric
glands and aid in the secretion OF
Juices necessary to digestion.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by ali druggists at 80 cents box.

feet cure. If IA doubt and wish more

'AFRICANA' IS
BEST OFFERING
LAMBARDI COMPANY oUTD0ES
ITSELF IN AUDITORIUM
Meyerbeer's Great Opera Rendered
Almost FauItIessly--Adabsrto
Again Wins All Hearts
New Tenor Liked

The Lambardi company gave cause
Tor its being last night, II it never did
before, when it sang Meyerbeer's great
'Africana' I'm almost faultless fashion
at the Auditorium to a small but thor
oughly enraptured audience. And by
this token of what 1t can do must It be
judged for future offerings; it certain
ly should make every effort to live up
to its excellent mark of last night.
"Africana" has no elements of the
popular, so called; 1t Is strictly mu-
sicians opera. Yet to the elect 1t con-
tains superb music and splendid har-
monies. Perhaps that is why no more
turned out to hear It; certainly they
missed a treat who did not go.
The opera served to bring again to
the fore Adaberto she of the golden
voice, the fiery acting and the entrance
ing beauty. Disguised as she was in
stains and savage costume, yet her
sweet face and fine figure showed even
through this masquerade. But even her
physical charms are forgotten, great
as they are, when she sings Such
music Los Angeles has not heard often
before, and it will wait long for her
equal again. Last night she was in
even better voice than she was Tues
day at the opening, and her every note
was perfect. She has the dramatic
ability to act and this adds much to
her work, but her golden throat is
her priceless treasure, and she knows
well how to use 1t. Repeated encores
were demanded and her graciousness
never seemed to tire. If Manager Lam
bardi is wise he will put the petite
Adaberto on every time he can; she
is the strongest drawing card.
A new tenor, Orelli, sang Oceans
in place of d'Ottavi, whose throat is
out of commission. In the first act he
was disappointing, but he warmed up
to his work and by the time the sec
ond closed he was singing in fine voice,
and the impression he left thereafter
was above par. He has a Disagree
able vibrato at times that jars on one,
but outside of that is well able to stand
with the rest.
she is by no means the equal of Ada
berto, her sister-or Tromben, with
whom it is more just to compare her,
both being lyric sopranos-she yet
carried her role excellently. Her voice
is good but rather thin. Bacchetta,
Neri and especially Canetti,
sustained their several parts excellent
ly we'll and made new friends. Even the
chorus sang with more intelligence and
art than it would have been believed
possible from it's previous work, and
the orchestra quite redeemed itself, be- |
ing excellent. The settings were all
that could have been asked and the |
costumes were fine.
Tonight "Rigoletto,' with Tromben.
Orelli, Lombardi, Million and others of
equal value.

COMMUNITY LAW
TOPIC OF LECTURE
MISS KENNEY SHOWS ITS WEAK
NESS
Would Have Statutes Changed to Per-
init Wife to Inherit one-haIf and
Children the Other Half or Whole
to Wife

"Men have grown so accustomed to
wear the whole family wardrobe" said
Miss Elizabeth Kenney during her talk
before the Business Women's associa-
ton to It's rooms at the Trust build
ing last night.
II wish to emphasize the fact that un-
der existing laws of California men can
convey any property without the sig
nature or consent OF their wives, for
valuable consideration.
"The wife cannot convey the prop
erty without the signature and con-
sent of the husband. TO have this law
amended is the object we have in view,
as this is one of the most vital points
of the whole amendment. We would
have the law read that the husband
should not sell or convey the property
without the consent or the wire.
Another feature is that community
property goes to the husband at the
death Of the wife, while on the contrary
the wife receives only one-half at the
death of the husband while the other
half goes to the children II there are
ehildren--if not, to the husbands rela-
tiVes.
1--WE want equality We want the law
to read, one-half to the wife, the other
half TO the children, II there are chill
dren-otherwise the wife TO inherit the
whole.
Men who understand the law are in
favor of this amendment,
I'm the accumulation Of community
property the wife. although at home
caring for the family, contributes
largely"
The women who have this amendment
In charge are Mrs. Burbridge, Mrs. Os-
good, Mrs. Gibbs, Mrs. M. M. Fette
Mrs. Barnum, president OF Woman's
