A midnight raid by burglars ON the

Monica avenue and Vine street, Cole

the rout of the robbers by the proprie-
tor who was sleeping above the store
and who chased one man down the
street firing twice at him with re-
volver hut without hitting him.
II was asleep in my room above the
store Fen heard a noise downstairs,

WANT NO MORE FREE
SEEDS DOWN IN TEXAS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. l.
When the question of continuing the
congressional distribution Of prize
penny packages of pumpkin seeds was
before congress last session, the bulk
of the votes in it's favor came from
| the south From the action of the
South Texas Fruit and Truck Grow
ers' association, however, it appears
that the farmers of the south are not
anxious to continue receiving these
seeds, but would rather have the
money devoted to other purposes of
real benefit to agriculture. At re-
cent meeting of the association strong
anti-free seed resolutions were adopt
ed. Among other things the resolu-
tions say that the seeds received from
the members Of congress ARE usually
the varieties known to be unsutted to
the soil and climate of south Texas
and hence are worthless to us. These
seeds are sent to us by our represen-
tatives in congress under the mistaken
idea that favor is being conferred,
which mistaken idea we hereby wish
to correct. The amount of money
spent annually for seed distribution, If
apportioned among the United States
experimental stations would be a thou
sand times more beneficial to each of
us than as now SPENT
1t was therefore resolved that the
association should thank the Texas
representatives in congress for past
favors in the way of free seeds, but
assure them these favors were mis-
taken kindnesses on their part; that
they condemn the practice of free dis
tribution of garden seeds as an eco
nomic waste wholly unjustifable; that
'in the future we will not accept from
the government free garden seeds, and
that we urge our representatives as
a x4rill hoo
ciate to vote against the bill appro-
priating funds for the distributing of
free garden seeds and to use their in
fiuence to have the amount thus saved
appropriated to the experiment sta
tions of the country"

however that even olive oil is seldom
required. 1t should be given more for
the purpose of allaying the mental fears
or the child's mother than for the pur-
pose of having the bowels act.
If proof We're required to prove the
power of auto-suggestion. there is none
SO strong as when a mother begins to
think that because the bowels of her
child do not evacuate the feces when
she thinks they ought to, there is some
thing the matter with them. A mother,

solid bodily refuse. She constantly

likewise; hence, If the child does not
do 1t there is something the matter
with its bowels She not only jumps
10 an irrational conclusion, but the
thought which she harbors makes a
powerful impression on her mind.
The moment the first thought enters
her mind, either she does irrational
things herself, or she begins to ask
mamma" or a neighbor who has had
children, or some wise DOCTOR" what
to do. as If any Of them knew more
about it than she does herself. Now.
her own fear, coupled with the innu-
merable questionings of "mamma. :"
neighbors and doctors, as well as their
answers i'm the form OF suggestions
what she ought to do, causes her to
continually think about the subject,

the composition of new forms: but
that is only incidental in the scheme of
the universe. The great majority, es-
pecially of human beings, are born in
sound condition, and if they would
at least try to continue sound, bodily
as we'll as mentally, the sufferings of
great number if not the greater num-
Der, would be nil, almost.
To illustrate:' child during the
period of lactation is more or less con-
stipated; at any rate, the bowels do
not act when it's mother thinks they
should. Mind, not when they will be
ready to act, but when the mother
thinks they should. Thus the mother
considers herself superior in wisdom to
nature. Hence either she sends for a
doctor of medicine to prescribe for the
child, or she goes to the drug store
to buy, perhaps, the same medicine
which the doctor would have pre-
scribed. She forces II down the child's
throat, and, as is generally the case.
the bowels not only do not throw off
the feces before they are ready to act
but the stomach is to all intents and
purposes paralyzed The result is that
thereafter the mother will have two
jobs on her hands; one job will be 10
have the bowels act when she thinks
they ought to, and the other to restore
the stomach to it's normal condition,
lest the child may become dyspeptic in
consequence of the medicines paralyz-
ing effect.
IL Is seldom necessary to give a child
anything, especially during the period
OF lactation, In order that the bowels
may act, and It is never necessary to
give II medicine. For milk, whether OF
its own mother, or COW, or OF the arti-
nclal kind, does not contain very much
solid matter; hence the accumulation
OF one, two and even three days feces
WIZ cause no bad results. Nature is
quite wise IN her provisions, certainly
wiser than the chid's mother or the
best doctor Of medicine that ever lived.
Suppose, on the other hand the ma.
ture judgment of the mother causes
her more or less anxiety In that event
a few drops of pure olive oil is quite
sufficient Be 1t always remembered,

= OR the final performances OF
grand opera in Los Angeles, the
management of the Auditorium
has aptly chosen Puccini's great La
Tosca," which is the most intensely
dramatic work composed in Italy in
the past twenty-five years. 1t will be
seen at two performances only, on
Monday and Tuesday evenings, and
will conclude the brilliant season.
The management takes great pleas
ure in announcing that Nine. Ada
berto will be seen in the title-part.
Judging from past experiences, her
audience can expect her to make his
tory in this Characterization.
In a sense, it will be an all-star cast,
for Salvaneschi will lend his voice and
acting to the Interpretation Of Mario
Cavradossi, and Adolfo Pacini bari
tone, will have the part of Baron Scar
pia. Lombardi the basso, will play
the Sacristan. In scenery and costum-
ing Manager Lambardi promises that
La Tosca" will surpass every previous
operate production. The locale is
beautiful and intensely interesting. The
castle of ST. Angelo, the ancient Roman
church and the many other bits OF
scenic study are well known to every
student.
The story of LA Tosca" Puccini and
his librettists cleverly adapted from
Sardous famous drama. 1t is like il
in most of it's particulars, and contains
all the we'll known situations: The love
of the simple Tosca for Mario, the
malevolent interference of the veno-
nous Scarpia, the Infamous tortures
which he intlicts upon Mario-compell-
ing his love to bear witness that at the
price of her body his may be rescued
Tosca's final assassination of the mon
ster, the death of Mario, and finally
the tragic passing of the heroine her.
self-all these have been the subjects
of Puccini's musical study.
He has treated them in the same ad-
vanced manner in which he wrote g
melodiouS setting about Murgers LA
Vie de Boheme," The formal succee-
sion of recitative and aria have beer
done away with, and instead is a con-
stant rush of smooth, tuneful, dramatic
music.

ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty tC

knocked him down, and then with two
young sailors who had been abused started
for the shore in the longboat. The skipper
got out his pistols and ordered them back,
but Russ had his silver-mounted rifle along
with him. He covered the captain with it
and defed him. The young men reached
shore safely, but were obliged to take to
the mountains and remain in hiding for
nearly two months, while the natives were
hunting for them, having been promised
barrel of rum for their capture, dead or
alive. Finally from one of the peaks of
the island they saw the Dash in the offing,
and knew that they were safe. A short
time later the American whaler Harry Lee
came into port, and the castaways turned
whale hunters. The Harry Lee rescued
shipwrecked crew from a desert island
and short time later was wrecked her
self at Port Louis. Russ then joined a
London fur sealer and sailed to Staten land
after seals and sea elephant oil. Later,
while poaching on government-protected
island at La Plate, the sealer was caught
unawares by a slOop-of-war, which gave
chase. The sealer had two pivot guns and
several wooden "quakers." A number of
dummy sailors were rugged and set up
about the deck, and with yells of defiance.
armed with rifles. pistols, sealing spears
and knives, the sealerS boldly dashed for
the little cruiser. The sight was too much
for the man-of-war, who miStOOk the
seaer for famous pirate, came about and
n+f he, f1lo6 thoir craft
with oil and skins and sailed for London,
taking into that port the richest cargo OF
the kind ever landed there-and most OF 1t
poached. Russ and others of the crew had
big pot of money coming to them. With
this they bought fine brig, but she was
lost on her first trip through the fault of a
pilot in trying to make an English port.
Capt. Russ then returned to his old home
in Belfast after an absence of fully score
of years and settled down to farming.
When the Civil War broke out Capt. Russ
was over 80 years of age, but hale and
hearty and patriotic to the core. He wrote
at once to Commodore Joseph Smith, who
was mate of the brig Calliope in which he
made his first voyage as cabin boy, offering
his services to the government, and was
given birth as masters mate on the block
ader Underwater. He was soon promoted
to acting master on the Chippewa and
earned special mention for gallantry at
the taking of Fort Hatteras. He was
later transferred to the Sumpter and while
on this ship was taken with rheumatism
and obliged to leave the service and return
home. He again took up farm life, doing
all the chores on his place, and only a few
months ago remarked to newspaper man
who called on him: "Work at my age?
Well, why not as long as have the strength
and can do it as we'll as younger man?"
