ASSESS FRANCHISE TOO HIGH
Pasadena Assessor Valued One Year
Sunset Telephone Franz
chise at $4,000
Special 10 The Herald.

PASADENA, July 13.-This was
busy day for the board of equalization.
More complaints We're filed than usual,
ten coming from the Sunset Telephone
company alone. This company asks
that its assessment of $4,000 be re
duced to $33, $50.
The largest single item i'm this pro-
test refers to the valuation placed upon
the Sunset franchise which is assessed
at $4,000. Attention is called to the
fact that this franchise has but one
more year to run instead of twenty
years, as is customary term and the
Sunset people suggest that $1,000 would
be nearer the proper valuation.
Someone who has been kicking on
the manner in which his own property
has been assessed called attention to-
day to the assessed valuation Of the
handsome property at the corner of
Lake avenue and Villa street. owned
and occupied by Mayor Waterhouse.
This place is assessed at S74t0 and it is
asserted that his honor holds the prom
erty al $4,000. The complainant in
sists that the mayors property should
be given higher valuation.

SAN PEDRO. July 13.-While the
German Bantist Sunday school children
of Los Angeles picnicked and bathed at
Terminal yesterday afternoon, a mon
ster shark was seen not fifty feet from
one of the floats on which sat several
bathers.
II is not known whether the shark
was of the man-eating variety or not,
or whether it had serious intentions
on any one of the party even if it were
of that variety. but the sight of it so
near the shore and the floats was
enough to give the children a good
scare.
1t happened that the greater number
of the bathers had gone out of the
water. probably not more than twenty
being still in when the monster ap-
peared.
1t was reported by the several hum
dred visitors who saw him to be at
least twenty feet in length, with Il fin
that stuck out of the water two or
three feet.
The big object was not seen coming
in toward the land, but was first sight
ed within a few feet of the float
toward which the bathers are wont to
swim and rest before making the re-
turn trip.
1t did not come nearer the beach
fhan that. but went the other way in
stead and was seen no more.

A BUM MAY BE A GENTLEMAN
Knight of the Road Aids Damses Who
Are in Trouble-No Lucre for

Special to The Herald.

. SIeCldl 10 he i1tldlu
BOSTON, July 1S.-This is the story
of the gentleman who is not a gentle
man. The gentleman who was not,
strictly speaking, a gentleman. proved
to be one of Natures noblemen, which
is better. 1t happened on fremont
street, and the few that saw it got
chesty for being members of the hui
, man family.
A man whose status in society is
inaptly described as that of "buln'
was casually strollinG along by the
Granary burying ground with the dot
and-carry -one, steady-by- jerks move
ment peculiar to his kind. He had
found a live one just before, and he was
all lit up with enthusiasm and the es-
sence of cheerfulness. He was quietly
and unassumedly drunk.
His clothes were of the variety that
a ragman would scorn, his feet burst
ing through his shoes, and his hat,
which had once been a derby, was d
sort of inverted bowl, with just enough
of the brim left to act as a handle.
That was the gentleman who didn't
look the part.
Coming up on the same side were
man and girl. The girl was a crea-
tion good to see; and the man was
also good to look at. This was chiefly
due to his clothes.
The man was arrayed in a manner
Indt would make solomon look like n
rag picker and put the lilies of the
field in the weed class. His garments
were cut by no other than London scis-
sors, and the toes of his patent feathers
hurt the eyes of people a block away.
His gait, too, was peculiar, but far
from possessing the freedom of that
of the other, the studied amble of the
Faubourg st. Germain kangaroo. And
so they came together. The social an
tithesis, the zenith and the abyss of
society.
And the girl dropped her hatpin. AS
the glittering bauble fell both men saw
it-as it touched the pavement both
men sprang for it, but it was the dem
izen of the lower regions that grasped
it in his not too Cleanly hand. Raising
himself proudly he raised his ridicu-
lous hat, and then. carefully turning
the pin about to present the hilt, he
gracefully handed it, not to the girl,
but to her escort.
This is the rock upon which the dap
per one split and upon which the out
cast stood proudly above his fellows.
For your frippery, violet-scented, tur-
tle-fed dandy drew out a roll of money
and offered the ragged, hungry, drunk
en- bum bill. And the ragged, hungry,
dirty bum took off his burlesque hat
and said with a dignity that was truly
born:
Tanks, boss, but l tink l kin do dat
much fer de loidy," and ambled away
in blissful drunkenness.
