THEODORE a. BELL

In his veins the blood Of the Pilgrims
who came over In the Mayflower, land
ed at Plymouth Rock and battled with
Indians, disease and other fierce adver-
saries until religious liberty and per-
sonar and political freedom were es-
tablished In this country. Cool calm
dispassionate and determined, as be-
comes a descendant of the Pilgrims
nothing can daunt or move him from
those things which he holds to be right
and true.
Born i'm the beautiful valley Of VAL
leio, nurtured amid the semi-tropical
scenes and climate Of Southern Cali
fornia, his heart warns to the OPP
pressed and all those whose lives are
overshadowed by poverty and failure
Himself tiler of the soil, he knows
what il is to bear the heat and burden
OF the day and work with all his might
for daily bread.
An humble school teacher. he early
learned the value of discipline, Of pa
tience and obedience where patience
ana ODeulcIlCG are necessary
A struggling lawyer, he acquired
those legal principles of exact justice,
Of human liberty and of free govern
ment which have guided his life and
made of him one of the greatest young
statesmen i'm all the western country.
Two terms as district attorney gave
him expert knowledge of men and Of
motives, and added greatly to his
storehouse of personal experience.
A term ir congress brought him be-
fore the country as clear-headed,
sound, sober, faithful legislator; man
without buncombe or brag; without
demogogy or any sort of condescension
to political humbuggery; man who
understands the people of California
and the great west; who partakes of
their courage and high minded pur-
poses, and who did more splendid
things for California in the short space
Of two years than many men could ae-
complish in ten.
AS a citizen, a gentleman of clean
habits and upright private life, abso-
lutely independent of all corporation
influences and demands; an orator Of
uncommon ability who, without any Of
the tricks of the orator, holds audi
ences spellbound by his ma atchless pres
entation of living, burning public is
sues.
Young. vigorous, handsome, polished
and popular, no man stands higher in
public estimation in this state today
than Theodore A. Bell, the next gov
ernor of California.

BABY'S COFFIN is FIRED
AT THE WAKE BY CANDLE

Special to The Herald.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29.--Friends
and relatives at the wake over the
corpse of Edward Drehr, 9-month-old
infant, son of a painter bearing the
same name and living at 525 Moore
street, were inexpressibly Mortified last
night when suddenly flames burst from
the coffin.
When the agonized father first saw
the fire, women were screaming all
around him. But he had the presence
of mind to pick up the body of the
baby, thus saving 1t from destruction.
One of the tiny hands was burned.
Investigation proved that one of the
candles on the casket had toppled out
of its stick lighted the laces and
draperies and set fire to the canopy,
The funeral will be held today NOT
withstanding the accident. The baby
died Saturday.

HANFoRD INDoRSEs SHORT
He Is the Nominee In the Second Dis
triet for the Court of
Appeals


From the IIanford Journal
The nomination of Judge M. l.. Short
for Justice of the district court of APP
peals for the second district by the
recent Democratic state convention re-
oeives the appreciation of this entire
community, and The wire which brought
the news to this city was scarcely cold
before people, irrespective of party,
came forward with hearty congratula-
tions to him whose strength of charac-
ter, honesty of purpose, integrity and
unerring judgment won the honor con-
ferred upon him by the convention
Judge Short bears an enviable reputa-
tion and one which may well be pointed
to with pride by himself, as well as by
the citizens of the community in which
he has made his home for the past
thirty-two years. Coming to what Is
now Kings county as a COMMON laborer
in 1874, he applied himself with vigor to
the duties that Evolved upon him. He
was also student of earnest applica-
tion, and in the course of time became
q school teacher. and later an attorney
at law He was thus brought into
prominence by his own efforts and was
elected to the office ofNdistrict attorney
of Kings county, serving two terms IN
that office. He is now serving his sec
ond term as judge of the superior court
of Kings county, and his record on the
bench places him among the first rank
of California jurists He has frequently
held court in the counties of Kern,
Merced, Tulare, Fresno and MADEIRA,
being much i'm demand when not en-
gagged I'm his own county, and his record
In the supreme court and the district
court of appeals is exceptionally good.
He has in the past tried some of the
most important water cases in the
state and for this reason especially
our people desire his election as mem
ber of the appellate court, for, with
the retirement of Judge Gray, the
incumbent, the said court will be left
without a representative from the great
San Joaquin valley or one familiar
with it's litigation which goes to the
higher courts from this section of the
state.
In private life Judge Short, who has
just reached his fifty-fifth year, is un-
ostentatious and genial, and he has
many friends all over the San Joaquin
valley who are earnest in his support,
regardless of party. He is quite we'll
acquainted throughout the counties
south of the Tehachapi, as he has
visited nearly all of the principal towns
in that district in his official capacity
as grand vice chancellor of the knights
of PythiaS

CHARM OF LOS ANGELES

The frightful storms which ravaged
the whole southeastern coast of the
United States last week, taking un-
numbered lives and doing uncounted
millions of dollars damages-storms
whose fearful records are only begin
ming to b. written-again call atten-
ton to the fact that human habitation
of that region is fraught with some
danger and discomfort, even as is al
most every part of this country.
Especially is this emphasized right
now to the many thousands who, liv-
ing in the colder parts of the nation
have the means and the good sense
to seek warm and congenial climes dur
ing the blizzard season. rnCri
While the southeastern coast has
some claims to winter charm, maWly
based on it's nearness to New York, it
must be admitted that, after all, there
is only one real winter resort i'll the
country, and that is Southern Cali
fornia.
True, the southeastern climate is or
dinarily mild, but this mildness is that
of the tropics-feverish and malarial.
And even that is fitful, for the chill
norther sweeps down at frequent inter-
walls, freezing cold, numbing and de-
stroying. And when 1t is absent, there
always exists the peril of the gulf ty-
phoon, the awful gale, the cyclonic fury
of the winds. such as has just written
wreck and ruin across the map from
Texas to Florida.
Nothing of that sort ever happens
to mar the delights of life in Southern
California. Here the gales never
reach, the chilling winds never blow,
the typhoon is unknown and the terror
of the cyclone, the blizzard and the
norther are idle tales.
In this God favored spot it is always
summer; soft, balmy, reviving and
pleasing. The sun shines almost al
ways; the rains that do fall are gen.
tie, refreshing and brief; the whisper
ing breezes from the ocean or the
hills cool the air and fan ones brow;
the ever blossoming flowers charm the
eye WIN LHelT rare anu NOlupluous
beauty: tho scent of the orange, the
magnolia and the rose lull one to de-
lightful rest and repose. There is nc
tornado, there is no thunder or light
ming; there is no frost, no snow, nc
chill. 1t is earth's one perfect para
disc, where man can live in the most
supreme luxury at the least possible
cost-far less than he can in Florida
and enjoy the greatest variety of pleas
ure and good.
Why. then, tempt fate by risking life
and property in the home of the tropic-
al fever and hurricane, when more
can be had here, at a cheaper rate
More, vastly better, flowers, fruits
weather. climate, life?
Truly God has made but one perfect
home for mankind where all is happi
ness unclouded by fear of storm ol
risk of life. Here His smile is perpet'
ual; His softest winds sing always
His most beauteous jewels bloom OF
every hedgerow. This is the real place
And Southern California invites the
world to come and prove 1t.

Her Lack

When it came to the piano, Mary Jane
was quite at home;
She was clever on the golf-links, over
which she loved to roam
In the kitchen she was handy; she could
get a hasty suack, r
But one thing she never could do Fix
her waist down the back!
She could jabber Greek and Latin, and
read French, and German. too
With Kodak she was eXpert-either
portrait work or view;
On the water, as a sailor, in a saiboat
or a smack t..,-r
She was perfect. but alas! She couldn't
button up her back
What is art or what is learning? Who
care aught for talent, when
Such necessity exists and must be met
with now and then?
Tho accomplishments be many, naught
can make up for this lack
OF a shirt waist gaping open up and
down a maiden's back! r
