SUPERB "NERVE" OF A HAT
 SEEKER.

"Oh but the nerve of some women is worth a fortune to them!" giofned q glrI at luncheon in department store.
 I've been trying to get hat Upstairs in the millinery department I tried on hats until my arms ached pinning them on. and the saIeswoman got purple with rage because none suited them. In walked grenadicr sort of woman. with scared looking maid carrying a big paper bag. This woman sniffed around, turned hats upside down and almost inside out and finally looked over the untrimmed shapes She picked out one. Drawing a chair be- fore the biggest mirror in the place
 she sat down and had the maid empty the contents of that bag in her lap. It held feathers flowers and ribbons. Then she began to pin on feathers here, a flower there and to try the effect of a bow in another place She even had the maid hold a trimmed hat while she copied ith The attendants seemed fas-
 clnated, for no one said a word. And that in a store. mind you. where the salesgirls ask you sarcasticaHy whether you are looking for something chea D if you refuse to put down $35 on hat they select for you."-New York Press.

HEAT OF DEATH VALLEY.

Death valley is a veritable hole at this time on account of the excessive heat. In spite of the i'll advised state ments printed from time to time that the valley and the surrounding desert are not dangerous to level headed men, news comes in that prospectOrs are be- coming lost and that seasoned miners and their animals are dying from heat and thirst.
 In Amargosa canyon work has almost been suspended on the Tonopah & Tidewater railway. A large number of workmen have died from the terrific temperature.
 The crews have been working in a canyon, covered with sand and with out a sign of vegetation. With no wa ter than that hauled through the burn ing desert in large tanks, they are unable to withstand conditions.- Sac ramento Bee.

MEXICAN PULSE
 OFFICIALLY FELT
There is No Fever in the Blood
 Against Foreigners.

Mexican Consul A. Pima of this city. 1 has prepared the following translation i from Fl ImparciaI of an article based 1 on American official and consular re- ports from twenty one points in rela- ] ton to the alleged native i'll feeling to- ward foreigners:
 Apropos of the alarming reports published by certain American papers. 1 the United States ambassador, Hon. David E. Thompson, sent a circular : telegram to the United States consuIs, l at the principal points of the repub- ! lie asking them whether in their re- spective districts there was anything that would justify the sensational ar ] ticles of said papers regarding the anti-foreign agitation. As an answer the ambassador has received telegrams from the consuls and consular agents. which documents prove that there is no feeling against foreigners residing in the country on the part of the Mexican people. There is noticed on the railroads signs of an active organization of Mexican labor CTS. but that is very far from the pre- tended anti-foreign disturbance
 Herewith, we translate, textually, those telegrams:
 "Fontera, Aug. 1st, 1906. There is nothing in this district to justify those reports.
 (Signed) "Gonzalo Abaunza."
 "Guadalajara. August 1st. 1906. 'In this district has not happened anything that can be a motive of alarm or give reason for those who are hunting sensational reports.
 (Signed) WILL B. DAVIS"
 "Guaymas. August 1st 1906 There is nothing that will justify those reports, as far as this town and nearby places are concerned. This in formation emanates from the frontier or towns near to the United States The most intimate and friendly feel ings prevail here.
 (Signed) FRANK M. CROCKER."
 "Nogales, August 1st, 1906 Neither the diIigent investigations nor the closest observations and per sonal interviews with persons whom for their business are more or less bet ter posted, show anything in this district to justify the reports of the press.

HER PROPERTY.

Now and again things happen on the football field which go to add to the gayety of the nation. On one occasion. for instance. during a certain league match in the north the referee some how managed to lose his whistle. There was not another whistle to be found. and it seemed that the game would have to come to sudden and inglori- ous end. until the referee hit upon an ingenious scheme. He produced a latchkey from his pocket and managed to tootle merrily enough on it till sud denly as he approached the touch line. weman's shrill voice was heard, ex- claiming:
 Fred, come here at once! Where did You get that latchkey2"
 As he listened to the guffaw which went up from the assembled crowd that referee was the most shespish looking

THE LAW WAS BROKEN
 BUT NOT OUTRAGEOUSLY
One Cannot Give Liquor to a Minor
 Even in a Private House.

F.. StegyaeTt, of whom the English is l.. Stewart, was before Justice John stone yesterday on the charge of giv-
 Ing intoxicating liquor to the 12-year- old son of Jesus SalamOn. Young Stewart admitted the charge, but said he thought he had a right to do it. He knew that it was improper for minors to drink in a saloon. He was minor himself and had gone to the saloon af- ter the wine, to be drunk in his own house His idea was that every mans house is his castle. and he thought he could do what he pleased in it. He said he was sorry that in his ignorance he had broken the law. and would not do so any more. He was fined $25. He had no money. but it was shown to Justice JohnstCne that he was a hard working boy and had employment on a ranch near the city. He was allowed to go
 It was brought out that Mrs Salo- man in making the charge against the Stegyaerts had greatly misrepresented the whole affair and that she was wholly inspired by spite There had been no outrageous drunkenness; it had not been the practice of the Stegyaert family to hold orgies there every day and invite children in. There had been the single mistake of permitting the Saloman hoy 10 drink at all.
 Mrs. Saloman. in order to further prejudice the case of the Stegyaerts, had stated that Mrs. Stcgyaert was a county charge. which is not now true. Some four years ago, while she was in iil health and before her children had grown up, she was for a time in re- ceipt of a monthly stipend from the county. but now she is in good health and is a hard working woman. She is making a living for her smaller chill dren by taking iR washing. and two of her sons have got big enough to con tibute to the support of the family and are doing so.
