Rheumntic Pains relieved

No one need now suffer the agonizing
pains of sciatic and acute rheumatism,
as quick relief may be had by applying
Chamberlains Pain Balm. This fact
has been clearly demonstrated in many
thousands OF cases. This liniment re-
lieves the pain and makes sleep and
rest possible, which is alone worth
many times its cost. B. +. Crocker,

His Ambition Denied.

HIS .An1bItIO72 De72Ied
The case of Captain Reichman, who has been
denied admission to the general staff of the United
States army, is attracting great deal of attention.
Mr. Reichman is German American, but believes
that his nationality has aroused suspicion in certain
quarters, thus defeating his ambition to become a
member of the general staff The probabilities are
that he was disqualified for promotion for obvious
reasons of which he is fully cognizant and ismaking
this play to gain sympathy

NIGHT Police Courts.
CHICAGO has adopted novel method in solving
one of the dsagreeabe features connected with her
police force It is claimed that policemen refrain
from making arrests because if they did they had
to wait in the police court the next morning until the
cases were disposed of.
Hereafter every district will contain night
court in order to allow policeman to get full days
rest It is difficult to believe that any officer would
cease to arrest a criminal just because he had to
appear as witness the next morning If this is true
it is no wonder that Chicago has been almost helpless
in handling it's criminals Altho night police courts
are decided innovation, if they have tendency to
make policemen more efficient and thus prevent an
epidemic Of crime, they will be inaugurated in other
cities where similar conditions exist But it would
be good policy for the mayor of Chicago or his sub
ordinates to discharge every officer who placed more
value upon an hours time than he did upon guard
ing the interests of the people. These men who
capable of such PRACTICES are not above accept
ing bride.

this excellent army officer is absolutely trustworthy
and patriotic American; but if the general staff has
an unwrtten rule against the admission of foreign
ers, Mr.. Reichman has no cause for complaint.

Jerome Gets .ActiUe.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY JEROME has again started
of his raids to rid New York City ofgambers
and blackmailers. In the past he has shown him.
self to be persistent foe of this species of evil and
caused hundreds of vicious characters to leave the
city. Formerly he made it specially of closing
gambling houses and poorooms Now he intendsto
strike at racetrack betting.
At present he can do little in this direction as
betting the ponies is legalized. Therefore, he
must first get this law repealed before he hope
to accomplish anything. Considering that Mr. Jerome
is inveterate of cigarettes it does not appear
tho his mental faculties impairedin the least;
have the little cylinders affected his sense of
right or wrong We also believe that his discrimi-
mating powers are as keen today as they we're.
In Mr. Jerome, New York has able, wide awake
attorney; and SO long he performs his duty in q
fearless and impartial manner, the people do not
care even if he smokes clay pipe.

THANKSGIVING.

lNUNCSg IOINg.
A GOOD many people think that. because
is in prison. he is low it is possible for man
to get; and that such man has absolutely nothing
for which he may be thankful. This belief is not
wholly true A prisoner may be separated from his
family deprived of liberty shorn of wealth and posi-
tion but still he remember few things to be
thankfulfor If you to ask nine prisoners out of
ten what they thankful for they would instant
ly reply that they were thankful they are living.
After a moments serious thought they would also
add that they thankful they are in good health:
Good health is something we all be truly thank
full for, no matter where are, who are, what
we believe.
It is indeed cruel to be cut off from friends
and reside, cast into prison, and CARRIED in feons
uniform but it is not SO bad to be bedridden
and helpless. The who possesses good health
and says that he think of nothing to be thank
full for, is taking a very gloomy view of life.
In our charitable and correctional institutions
the inmates thereof partakers of bountiful meal
this day, and they join in with the rest of the
world in thanking the Creator for His goodness and
mercy. It is this day that charity organizations
endeavor to supply the needy with good Thanks

generously subscribe large sums Of money.
AS whole, country has been fairly prosper
Gus, and there is apparently for discomfort
any serious complaint that America is becoming
oppressive and leaning toward monarchial instead of
self governed institutions. This years Thanksgv-
ing altho not unexceponal in worldly prosperity

render thanks for the manifold blessings enjoyed

II MISSpent Life.

II yM1SSpe71t Life.
The other day we read an account of man who
was discharged from prison, after serving twenty
five years of his life behind prison walls The para
graph which we read stated that the man sixty
years old, and that he expressed the belief that he
would henceforth keep out of the pententary. This
record does not include workhouse sentences or the
time he spent in county jais awaiting trial. The
probabilities that he spent very nearly the whole
of his life behind the bars. What liberty he bad
must have been rather short.
Surely this man has misspent his life. Did his
career of crime pay? The mans record is sufficient
evidence that he was failure. Is his case
ception? Hardly, for his unenviable record is only
one of thousands. Petty stealing pays
means of gaining livelihood If this man had
worked for only one dollar day. he would have had
something to show for his sixty years of existence.
He also would have gotten more happiness out of
life. AS it is, he has lost everything; his repu
tation as crook failure for his long prison
cord demonstrates that his talent should have been
directed towards handling shovel instead of steal
ing.
It would be interesting to know what started
this man on his downward career. Was it choice
environment He surely must have realized that he
was unable to cope successfully against organized
society Perhaps he suffered injustice and
adopted this method of getting even. If SO, his
scheme was puerile. He might just well have at
tempted to raise a storm the by blowing his
breath at it, to try to get with the world by
harassng innocent persons who never did him an in
Jury. It took long time to convince this man that
he was playing losing game; and it is not likely
that he will forget it during the few years he may
yet live.

Portland Cars Running

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. Ito all
appearances, so far as the running of
street cars is concerned, the strike of
motormen and conductors, inaugurated
last Saturday, has proved futile.
Today the cars are running as If
nothing had happened. Almost every
road Is being operated at the usual
week day capacity.
The company announces that cars
will be run and has announced re-
ward of $3.50 for the arrest and convic-
ton of any person interfering.
The announcement of the electric
workers of the Portland General Elec-
trio company that sympathetic strike
would be declared has had no apparent
effect upon that company.

MUSIC AND DRAMA
"RaIIe in Masquerade" Is Good

Good individual work by Adaberto,
Antola and the latest find of the Lam
bardl company, M. Guido Ceccotti, with
fine ensemble work, in which even the
Lambardi chorus managed to distin-
guish itself, gave Los Angeles opera
lovers a treat in the initial production
in this city of Verdi's Bale in Masque.
rade" at the Auditorium last night.
If the patrons of the opera could
have known what was in store for
them many of them would have for
saken the old standbys of the earlier
part of the week in preference for the
new, but the American public generally
fights shy of those first productions of
European operas, and as a result a
rather slim audience was at the per-
Torrance. But what was lacked in
numbers was more than made up in
appreciation, and time after time the
selections were repeated in answer to
insistent demands.
Ceccotti. a tenor with a delightful
voice, sang the score of Richard, duke
of Warwick, and his Interpretation was
splendid. The production might be
called any other name as well as that
under which it is staged, but that
doesn't ma ter when it comes to the
singing.
Inc plot Is snort, a rather slim one,
is based upon a rebellion in a small
European city, which objected to the
action being laid there, so that it was
switched over the sea to Boston, with
the result that the Bostonians are put
through a most peculiar line of feats,
such as hunting magic weeds under glib
bets at the dead of night and stabbing
men in the ribs during masked balls.
The police would prevent any lonesome
damsels shopping about the gallows at
the central station, while it is not the
custom in polite society of Boston to
disturb the working division of the
cardiac system, especially at parties.
The divine Adaberto sings as the
distressed wife of Renate, who is i'm
personated by Antola. She falls in
love with the duke who, in this case,
! is Ceccotti, and, being discovered talk
ing to the duke at a masked ball, the
duke is killed by the jealous husband,
although he is at that time persuading
the woman to forget him, and then he
dies as all tenors die with the sweetest
aria of the opera on his lips.
