MAN CR00NS OVER HIS BABY
5ereft of Mind, Mechanics Condition
In Court Excltes

One of the most pitiful cases of in
sanity before the commission in Judge
Gibbs court was that of John Hunter
yesterday.
Father OF a large family and for
years an expert mechanic, typhoid
fever has left him absolutely without
memory.
II want to be good, / want to be
good" Hunter kept saying in court,
and then would turn to Judge Allen
of the district attorneys office and IN
quire in pleading voice, II am good,
amt l."
Mrs. Hunter said that her husband
did not recognize her and while very
tender with the children he did not
know them as his own. He would talk
for hours i'm meaningless babble and
Groom over the baby
He developed a suicidal tendency
and his family thought that it was
best to have him confined.
"I could bear it better, your honor"
sobbed his wife. III John only knew me
and could realize that we are acting
for his good"

TO POISONED MEAT

VALUABLE CANNES
Humane Society Has Special Officers
at Work to Ferret Out the Guilty
Party Who Has Started Feminine
Tears

Eight valuable dogs belonging to
residents of the southwest section of

in the last four days by persons for
whom the police are keeping an active

BUCKSKIN PONY HAS
WEIRD MISADVENTURE
WEE MARIE MEETS WITH MANY
VIcissITUDEs
Animal Seeks to ouench Her Thirst
In lmpromptu Lake at Boyle
Heights and Nearly Loses Life by
Drowning

Marie, the buckskin pony belonging
to Lanehart and Ross, who have charge
of the Boyle Heights end of the Her
AIDS circulation, has more shocking ex-
periences than any other bronco in the
west.
Yesterday Marie was hitched to q
light cart in which papers are carried
to some of the subscribers on the Boyle
Heights routes. Jim Janehart, the
driver of Marie, got out of the cart
for a minute to take paper into a
house. While he was absent Marie
thought of the old times out on the
vast prairies of the west, where she
once roamed at will with her COM
rades. In her mind she could see the
river in which she often had played.
Across the street at the corner of
Wolfskill and Brooklyn avenues, from
where Marie was standing, was mud
hole Water from the recent rains had
collected until quite pond had formed.
Marie saw the water hole and in a
frenzy of delight she dashed across to
quench her thirst in it's murky depths.
The pony bravely stepped into the
pond and then sank down, down until
only her head was clear of the foul
water.
When the driver returned he found
the broncho immured in the depths of
the mud hole. -Four teams were re-
quired to restore Marie to solid ground
once more.
Wet and dirty with the muddy wa
ters of the hole, Marie resumed her
task of carrying the papers to be de-
livered. At the next corner there was
another hole similar in character to
the pond of Marie's woe. AS she APP
preached it. she laid back her ears
and when abreast of the sad commen-
tary on the street department, broke
into a run. No more baths of that
description for her. She ran for sew
eral blocks before the dazed driver was
able to pull her down to a walk.

Eastern University Graduate, Initiating

TIL Exhsusted--sen to
an Asylum

Fighting desperately to escape.
straIning at the muffs which encased
his arms and hands and calling the
attendant officers every name he could
think of, Samuel Williams, a nature
man, was taken before Judge Gibbs In
department. two of the superior court
Yesterday and was ordered committed
to the insane asylum at Patton.
Williams condition is pitful. He Is
said to be a graduate of an eastern
university. His manners and actions
when he is not in one of his violent
fits are gentle.
He arrived in Los Angeles several
months ago and rented a room on
West Seventh street. The landlady
thought her boarder was slightly pc
cuiar because of his odd form Of
dressing. but as he always seemed to
behave she paid little attention to him.
But williams actions did not con-
tinue rational First he combed his
fine brown hair back from his fore
head and allowed it to grow long to his
shoulders.
Claims Queer Powers
He then declared himself a special
visitant to the earth and claimed to
have the power to take on any shape
of the animal kingdom.
The other boarders failed to realize
what a wonderful man they had in
their midst until Williams volunteered
to give an exhibition.
At all times of the day or night after
that he could be heard dashing about
his room, barking and bowling, leap
Ing about. Whenever he wanted to en-
ter or leave a room he scratched at the
door with hts finger nails and barked
until some one opened the door.
Many of the boarders were kept
awake by the man reciting Edgar
Allan Poe's Raven" and following
each verse he would repeat the re-
adyain, "Croaked the raven, never
adiesre." and then he would proceed to
/ his arms violently against his

ONE
-.-Jeveral weeks ago he visited the
Caach and when he went back to his
room he stretched himself out on the
floor and began to double up his body
with quick jerks, all the time making
peculiar noise.
He explained he was trying to imi-
tate an oyster. and when his landlady
insisted that he refrain from the pro-
ceeding he left the house.
His queer actions on the street
caused his arrest and several days ago
he was committed to the county hos
pital.
Yesterday he spent most of his time
in court reviling every one present
and barking and attempting to crow.
In spite of the heavy shackles he
fought desperately.
Every effort will be made to find
any friends or relatives of the man, as
the insanity experts assert Williams
is in the last stages of a nervous dis
ease and that he will not long survive
the fearful Authorizations which have
destroyed his sleep.

The Quality of Smartness in Dress

Never mas there been a season In
which a greater variety of styles has
teen displayed than this year, afford
ing every woman that opportunity OF
selection which shall best suit her
needs. In fact there Is ro reason why
every woman should not have that
quality of dress which shall cntitle
her to the designation OF smartnes3
In her costume, a subtle quality which
more than richness or material or
elaborateness OF design marks the
well dressed woman. This smartness
which Is so desirable Is really very
elusive. Truth of line Is the prime
requisite of smartness in dress, and
Helen Berkeley-Lloyd declares In the
D%elIneator that mot until all our wom-
en- recognize this fact can they hope to
create gowns which even approach the
smartncss shown In the imported mod
els"
In our illustration we show a blouse
Jacket for autumn wear which Is par
ticuiarly smart in get-up and suitable
for making to match the skirt, OF
navy blue serge. 1t Is quite plain at
the back; the fronts are slightly full
at the waist; the right front crosses
the left and fastens invisibly below
the bust; 1t is lined with blue and
white striped silk. The deep collar
md revers are cut in one; they are
OF white cloth, lined with silk; no
muslin or stiffening Is required, as tho
collar must fall quite softly over the
shoulders. 1t Is trimmed with narrow
blue silk braid arranged In a fancy
looped pattern. The deep cuffs to the
short puffed sleeves are made to
match the collar, only must be made
up over canvas or stiif muslin so that
they may stand well away from the
arm. The basque is lined with silk.
and Is added to the blouse jacket un-
dor a bolt OF the white cloth fastened
With q silver buckle.

A Strange Awakening,

Ing a terrific fight that he had once
e G on the streets of New York, said
that the hubbub and confusion remind

very large, muscular man fell asleep,
and annoyed all the passengers by
snoring Tremendously. A drummer.
carrying half a lemon in his hand,
tiptoed over to a little boy who sat
behind the snorer.
Son said the drummer, I am a
doctor, and II that man doesn't stop
snoring he'll die Of apoplexy. Watch
your chance, and as soon as his
mouth opens a little wider, lean over
and squeeze this lemon into it.

nosed his case as one OF tuberculosis
and had advised a course Of treat
ment, radically different from that
which he should have had for the
terrible disease of diabetes with which
he was afflicted. Finally the brave
boy gave up. He felt that perhaps
a couple of weeks at home, at the
good old home, with the love of home
around him and the good home cook
ing and the homegrown strawberries
and the rich cream would make him
all right again. And so he obtained
a two weeks furlough, and started
back for dear old Iowa. On the way
he was taken with severe chills and
was obliged to spend day in Chic
ago, returning to Denison early Fri
day morning. There was no bus at
the station, he had not written of his
coming and so he was obliged to
walk the mile from the Illinois Cen
trail to his home. He was nearly ex-
hausted when he fell into his mothers
arms at the doorway. He was at
once cared for with all the tender
ness that love can know. On Satur-
day he seemed to rally and had good
talk with his old chum. John Sewell,
but on Saturday night he grew rapidly
worse, during Sunday he had but
brief periods of consciousness and as

consolation and of hope so dear to
every Christian heart, the voices of

must be a good teacher. If she teaches
as we'll as she sings she is all that
could be desired.
The choruses of the opera were
finely rendered, the fresh young voices
and the pretty faces of the boys and
girls making the chorus most effec-
tive. DIR. B. F. Philbrook is said to
be guilty of the make up of the
Brigands, and if they did not look the
part none ever did.
Miss Genevieve Lally as Violet was
charming. Her solos were beautifully
rendered, and she looked the part so
we'll that no one could be blamed for
falling in love with her. John Molony
has magnificent voice and is also
a good actor. He played the part of
the lover and the great Tycoon with
much dash and vigor. George Seeman
was one of the stars of the play.
His voice was we'll suited to the part
of the old admiral and he soon proved
himself prime favorite. Miss
Merrill was also another good perfor-
inner while Miss Bamford, Arthur
Cushman, as the Lord Dolphin, cover
ed themselves with glory. Then

the part of valet to perfection. The
