Mrs. Harper Objects to Politics ABB
sorbing So Much of Her Hus-

Politics does not deal kindly with
home life, and few wives enjoy having
their husbands engage in that line be-
cause it is necessary for them to pass
so much time away from their own fire.

A. c. Harper, the wife of the mayor
elect. A quiet, modest little woman,
entirely wrapped up in her husband
her family and her household affairs
few persons would recognize in her the
wife of the man who had just gone
through a brilliant and successful po-
litical campaign, coming out of 1t the
mayor-elect Of great city.

they attended high school, and there
the attachment which ultimately rip
ened into love and marriage was
formed. Two years after they gradu-
ated, or on October 25, 1887, they were
married, and from that time on they
have lived happy life in Los Angeles
Mrs. Harper is the daughter of Col.
Joseph Hamilton, an officer of the Con-
federate army, who fought beneath the
stars and bars through the entire war
of the rebellion. AT it's close he and his
family moved to California from his
home in Mississippi. Here the little
girl was born and raised and has since
made her home. &,

Special Cable to The Herald
PARIS, Dec 8.-Water from the River
Jordan is soon to be sent to New York
for distribution throughout the country,
an expedition to the Holy Land for the
purpose of barreling large quantities of
it having been successfully finished.
The first consignment, consisting of
fifty casks, has already left Jaffa, and as
soon as this reaches port in Europe it
will be reshipped to America.
Extraordinary precautions have been
taken to insure absolute purity and
cleanliness by boiling the water before
1t was put in the casks on the very spot
where St. John baptized Christ.
Great difficulties were encountered
in getting the water by Colonel Clifford
Nadeau. who headed the expedition. as
there were no casks to be had in Pales-
tine, so that he had to have them made
in Asia Minor. Then he had to make
his own wagons and devise his own
methods of publication in the midst of
the wilderness.
The water will be drunk as we'll as
used for baptismal purposes. and if
American churches support the enter
prise. other consignments will be made

STRENGTH COMES
Not From What You Eat, but From What
You Digest.

Most people eat most foods without
discrimination-it matters little what
Few stop to think what that food does
for them. This is the first turn on the
road to dyspepsia. Reckless disregard
OF the proper choice of foods. rapid
eating and improper mastication, are
the unquesttoned causes of all stomach
disorders from the slight ache to the
malignant cancer.
There is nothing more revolving than
a dyspeptic stomach--a very vat for
putrefaction, sending forth its poison
throughout the entire system, depress-
ing the brain, befouling the breath,
souring the taste. deadening the mus
cles, incapacitating the liver and kid
neys for their work, debilitating the
heart, choking the lungs and clogging
the bowels.
All Of these disagreeable and danger
GUS conditions are due to the improper
digestion of food and the consequent
assimilation of poison. What else can
be expected? If the food lies in the
stomach. IL the system is constipated,
fermentation is the natural outcome.
1t shows itself in sour watery ris-
ings, belchings. heartburn and painful
breathing.
There is only one way to relieve this
condition. II the stomach refuses to

PARIS, Dec. S.-What was intended

death.
Nine Mayet who was S3 years old

Some of them thought her disposition
might improve if she were frightened a

of which, scratched on mirror, was:

CAR COLLISION
BLOCKS TRAFFIC
Electric Runs Down Hill at Rapid
Rate and Crushes Animal Beneath
Fender-Witnesse Say Motor
man Was to Blame

Great excitement was caused at the
intersection of Broadway and Second
street late yesterday afternoon when
an east bound electric of the Westlake
line came down the Second street hill
in uncomfortable flight and struck the
horses attached to truck.
One of the animals was crushed be-
meath the fender and injured so~ser1-
ously it was necessary to kill it.
The accident occurred at a point
where the car stood on the Broadway
track and delayed street car traffic
thirty minutes.
Thousands of shoppers crowded about
the scene until other traffic was con-
gested. Hundreds of women morbidly
held their positions in the swaying
crowd listening to the groans of the
unfortunate animal pinioned by the
car. After considerable difficulty the
animal was released and shot.
The truck and horses We're owned by
Rial r. Willard of 760 Clara street.
According to witnesses of the acci-
dent, the driver j. o. Valdest, had
lust started to cross the street, his
heavy two-horse truck LOADED with
dirt. Scarcely had the truck got on
the track when east bound car num-
ber ia came tearing down the hill at
a high rate of speed. Before the brakes
could take hold, the horse nearest the
car had been caught by the fender, but
instead of being picked up by it, his
left hind leg was caught under the
iron grating.
Pinioned by Fender
For half an hour the frantic animal
struggled to free itself while hundreds
of passers-by stopped to watch the eX-
ertions that were being made to dis
engage the animal.
Finally hammer and chisels were
brought from The Herald Office and the
chains holding the fender were cut,
letting it fall to the ground. Volun-
teers lent their aid and in a short time
the horse fecked with sweat and
bleeding from several severe bruises,
staggered to its feet.
Alfred Trident, a private detective,
was about to shoot the suffering brute,
when a stranger declared that such ac-
ton would be illegal. Another wait
ensued while the police headquarters
was phoned for instructions. Trident
was given full charge, and the horse
was thrown by rope, after which
Police Detective Bert Cowhn shot 1t.
The detective shot the brute too low,
and it remained for Detective Trident
to kill the animal, which he did with
shot.
During the blockade long lines Of
cars were tied up, radiating in all
four directions from the scene of the
accident. Trucks and automobiles
standing near were utilized by the on
lockers as vantage points from which
to watch the proceedings and several
ones clambered on the
roofs of the cars.
Intense indignation was expressed
by several men In the crowd at the un-
Of the car crew to cut the
chains holding the fender. The horse
lay in his painful and cramped posi-
tion for twenty-four minutes before
the chains were cut; and even then,
this was done only under the remon-
strances of the carmen, who seemed
to sacrifice the chains for the
sake Of the suffering animal
