LO, the Poor Farmer!

Every year, about this time, the
greater business world looks anx-
iously to the farmer, and the fore
most question is: How will the
crops turn out? This year the
anxiety is more acute than COM
mon; because it is felt that affairs
are rather overstrained and could
i'll support the shock of a crop
failure. This annual confession of
dependence upon the farmer is ex-
ceedingly humiliating, because the
farmer is the only person whom
our system leaves to shift for him
self. Everybody else's prosperity,
if he has any, is benevolently pro-
vided for him by the high powers
of politics and finance. 1t is due,
as we are daily reminded, to our
protective tariff and to our cap
tains of industry, who good-natur-
eddy build railroads and mills,
open mines and develop territories
in order that labor may find en-
ployment. These excellent men
in their own phrase give" work
to the entire industrial population.
But the poor farmer He has
practically nothing for a high tariff
to protect. His only important
function under that benefcent
scheme is to pay high tariff prices
for his clothes and furniture. And
the utmost the captains OF industry
can do for him-with the kindest
intentions in the worlds to
charge him such freight rates as
the traffic will bear and crack up
the cost of his coal, sugar and to-
bacco. They cannot consolidate
him, or finance him, or issue him
in highly-watered stock, or give"
him work. 1t is, therefore, humil-
iating for the rest of us, who pros
per by the bounty of a system
which, on the whole, treats the
farmer pretty shabby to have to
stand around every summer and
anxiously inquire what the farmer
is going to do for us. Saturday

When a Lie is ExcusabIe.

Henry Waldorf Francis in the
Pacific Monthly says lie is popu-
larly considered justified on the fol-
lowing occasions:
When you are party to a law
suit.
When you are asked the amount
of your salary.
When the servant girl asks for a
character. "
When a girl asks if you ever
loved another girl.
When-you are asked where you
spent your vacation.
When you are asked the name
of your tailor or dressmaker.
When a woman wants to know
if her baby is not wonder.
When the girl" wants to know
where you were last night.
When a girl asks you to take her
to the theater and you are broke. ="
When Papa asks if you ever saw
such genius of boy as mis-.
When you fail to get home, but
it is not because you missed the
train.
When you go home with a pair
of black eyes or otherwise dis6gur-
ed.
When a girl asks you how she
looks. Or if you think her photo
does her justice.
When a mother asks you what
you think of her daughter or her
singing or playing.
When you are behind with your
board money and the landlady asks
if the steak isn't delicious.
When your best girl, whose hair
is black, wants to know how d
golden lock got on your coat
collar.
Most any time when the truth
would be embarrassing and you are
sure a lie will not be found out

One of the neatest tricks used by any
petty thief in Los Angeles for some
time has Just been reported to the po-
lice by Mrs. B. II. Luker, 722 Towne
avenue. who lost a string of valuable
ruby beads and two one and half
carat ruby rings by his visit.
According to her story, a well
dressed. we'll educated young man re-
Gently called at her house and Informed
her he was q solicitor for well known
insurance company. She told him she
did not wish to take out any insurance,
but he asked to be allowed to show her
the plan under which his company ope-
rated. She agreed and admitted him to
the parlor. There the young man made
himself al home. He talked insurance,
but while doing 50 walked around the
room examining pictures and trinkets,
and, according to Mrs. Luker, picked
up any little thing he desired and
placed 1t in his pocket. This she did
not discover until later and then has
tened to the police station, where she
made report
The detectives are now looking for a
nice talking, well dressed young in
surance agent and hope to catch him
before he gains entrance into any more

PROF. NEsBIT'S CLASSES OVER
French Teacher viii Visit Pasadena
and RedIsnds, and Instruct
in Each

fProf Norman Hill Nesbit. whose
classes in French have kept society on
the go for three months past, gave his
last lessons in the "acrobatic" method
last week and has gone to Pasadena,
where he has taken a Furnished house
and will live for several months TO
come. Immediately after the holidays
he will conduct a series of classes
there, and when they are over he will
do likewise in Redlands for the benefit
of that city, San Bernardino and River
side.
Prof. Nesbit's method proved q great
success here, and many demands have
been made that he shall return soon
and inaugurate postgraduate course.
While much amusement is combined
with his instruction, yet those who at
tended say that never has French been
made so easy OF so attractive as a
study, and experts in the language are
as strong in asserting that il has
proved thorough and practical as well
as amusing.
While the demand for his return
would easily insure a profitable after
course, engagements prevent an as
sumption o. it for the present, Mr.. Mes
bit declares.

BUTLER SMILES
At BLOCKADE
SAYS LONG BEACH PLANS
ARE FUTILE
Idea of Forming New County Ridieu-
Ious Because Of Enmlty Between
Beach Cites-Annexa-
tlon Favored

There was the broadest kind of
smile on the face of S. A. Butler, pres
ident of the Consolidated Commission,
when seen last night.
Mr.. Butler had Just returned from
San Pedro, where he had gone in COM
pany with r. L. Chesbro, secretary
Of the commission, to arrange for
meeting to be held next Thursday
night
There were two reasons for the ex-
istence of Mr.. Buffers expansive smile.
One was the discovery of the fact that
the sentiment in favor of annexation
is growing at a rapid rate in San
Pedro, which insures the defeat of the
freeholders' charter at the coming
election at the harbor city, and the
other was the report he heard in San
Pedro that q movement had been start
ed at Long Beach, looking to the for
nation of a county to include Long
Beach, Wilmington, San Pedro and
Redondo, thereby stopping Los Angeles
in her march to the sea.
"Such a move absolutely is ridicu
lous,' said Mr.. Butler. ut has prac-
tically no following in Long Beach
and absolutely none in Wilmington or
San Pedro. Long Beach is the last
city in the world that the people of
San Pedro would consolidate with. and
the feeling practically is the same in
Wilmington.
1.-THE sentiment in favor of consol-
iadting with Los Angeles is becoming
very strong in San Pedro and Whining
ton and it is constantly on the increase
in Long Beach. I am certain that the
sentiment in favor of consolidation
even now Is strong enough in San
Pedro to cause the defeat of the free
holders charter, and with this out of
the way the rest will be comparatively
easy.
1--WE expect to have an unusually
good meeting next Thursday night.
Five speakers have been selected by
the commission and each will discuss
different feature of consolidation as
affects San Pedro and Wilmington"
President Butler and Secretary Ches-
bro engaged the opera house for Thurs
day nights meeting and invitation
cards will be sent to the voters of San
Pedro, East San Pedro and Wilmington.
The speakers will be Stoddard Jess.
Walter F. Haas, John G. Mott, Motley

ACTRESS KEEPS
WEDDING SECRET
HAS BEEN A BLUSHING BRIDE
SIX MONTHS
Popular Leading Woman Married to
Percy MeDermott in Denver.
Is Playing in Boston
Theater

T. UGENIE THAT'S LAWTON, who
is one of the most popular leading
women that ever played in Los
Angeles. has been blushing bride
these five or six months, and no one
in Los Angeles barring two men,
knew anything about it till the secret
leaked out Friday. And this announce
ment is sure to send stream of con-
gra tulatory kilograms to the fair lady
now playing leads i'm the Castle Square
theater i'm Boston. She is Mrs. Percy
McDaFmott now.
Miss Lawton left the Belasco where
she had been leading woman for some
months. under rather distressing cir
cumstances last summer. She had
gone on a vacation, visiting New York
among other places. on her return
she was almost pulled off the train by
Manager Jack Blackwood, who in
duced her to abandon her rest and
take II part in RIP Van Wrinkle" on
short notice. Following this, Soldiers
of Fortune" was billed, and over it
the trouble arose. Miss LGwton as
leading woman claimed the right to
play Hope Langham; she was cast for
the Spanish girl part. She would not
take this, she was not permitted to
take Hopes part There were odds,
and Miss Lawton resumed her rest,
while Amelia Gardner was wired to
come OH at ONCE.
Friends Are Mystified
Miss Lawton fingered here almost
month thereafter. and many WON
dered what was the attraction. First
one map and then another was named,
but there was no evidence to convict
in any case; she was model of dis
creetness and her favors were so even
ly distributed that no progress was
made by the inquisitive. Then, upon
a day she and her mother, her con-
stant comrade, packed up and went
back to New York.
Here begins the romance. There
was a man; good looking, fine fellow,
too, they say. His name is Percy Nc
Dermott and he travels for Il big New
YOrw Wholesale grocery house. Los
Angeles is on his route, and the An
gelus is his habitat while here. He
met Miss Lawton awooed and won her.
She kept her secret-married leading
women drop in value, you know-but
her vacation in New York was spent
to good purpose. When she came
back, the day was fixed. When she
quit the Belasco so suddenly, it was

Tt was part of the nuptial contract
that the lady in the case should not
give UP her very promising stage
career for the present. She kept the
marriage a secret and engaged with
the Castle Square theater in Boston,
where she has made one of the hits
of her life, and Is now the most pop

learning. She is Miss That's Lawton"
there, and her marriage is utterly un-
known to soul save herself and her
mother. She Is only n few hours from
New York. her husbands headquarters,
and sine doesn't play Sundays, so there
is always a quick run down there;
also on off weeks.
Before she came here Miss Bawton

Newport R. l., March 19.-On his country
place at Newport. which he calls Oakland Farm,

season Of public road coaching around this city
with his coaches, Valient and Volunteer. but
besides this 1t is to be used for giving private
horse shows in the season at Newport, for

the building Ia finally completed about June l..
the owner of Oakland farm and its cha telaine
proposes to open the riding ring with enter
tanment of a thoroly horsey character that 1s
calculated to make even the blase Newport set
sit up
The ring is connected with the stables by a
covered arcade, so that. matter how bad the
weather is, the horses may be walked from the
stalls into the ring without being in danger of
getting wet catching cold. Also this covered
way keeps the coaches and other traps from
being soiled by mud. : The ring proper is 100
feet wide and 200 feet long, nearly the same
dimensions that in Madison Square Garden.
