HAD NO RESTAURANT TO SELL
Complainant Says Man Sold Him
Business He Did Not

Joseph Hines was arrested and
brought into the police court yesterday
on charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses.
The complaining witness, W. A. Car
ter, claimed he was given the worst of
It, when he purchased a restaurant
at 854 San Pedro street from the de-
fendant.
Although paying 5000 for the good
will and fixtures of the place, Carter
said he found Hines had nothing to
dispose of and never was the owner.
Hines was arraigned before Justice
Chambers and his preliminary exam
iantion fixed for Wednesday. He was
released from custody on $1,000 bonds.

OIL STOCKS ARE
GROWING STRONG
PRICES ON EXCHANGE SHOW
UPWARD TREND
Fears That San Francisco Holders
Would Dump Shares on Market
Have Vanished and Steady
Rise Is Predicted

Recent developments in the local oil
situation tending to show that the
large companies are Tightening their
grip ON conditions here are reflected
III the market for the stocks of these
companies The demand for Associated
shares in the last few days has been
sufficiently strong to move prices UP
rather sharply, and holders Of the stock
are showing a disposition to hang on
for still higher quotations.
On the stock exchange yesterday AS
ISOLATED sold at 491h as against o. bid
price Of 47A the day before. Calls on
the stock sold at 81 and puts at 491A.
The feeling Of the large holders of the
stock is Indicated by the fact that not
withstanding the advance Of 2A points
in the price as compared with Thurs
days quotations, offerings were COM
paratively light. There was little stock
pressing for sale around the quotations
given.
Some time ago Associated shares sold
at around 62, from which point there
was a reaction to about So the day be-
fore the earthquake at San Francisco.
News of that calamity naturally had q
sharply depressing effect on the market
for all kinds of securities, and the oil
stocks suffered with the others. Asso-
ciated dropped from 55 to around AZ and
for a time there seemed to be little de-
mand for 1t even at that figure
Prosperous Year Predicted
The large holders claimed to have no
doubts as to the intrinsic merits of their
property, but the bears on the stock
were able to make considerable capital
out of the generally disturbed condi-
tions which prevailed for few days,
and played on the fears of traders that
large amounts of the stock held in San
Francisco would be unloaded on the
Los Angeles market.
This fear tended to keep buyers out
of the market for a time but recently
q decidedly better feeling has been
manifested. 1t has been found that the
fears of San Francisco selling have
been to n large extent groundless, and
this, together with the evidences that
the position of the large oil companies
is steadily growing stronger, is in
creasing the courage of the bulls.
The market for crude oil not only is
strong, but experts insist that all the
indications point to still greater
strength in the near future. Oil is now
selling at 40 cents, an advance of Is
cents in the last few months. Notwith-
standing the fact that the Union OH
company poses as an independent con-
cern, the impression prevails that an
understanding has been reached be-
tween it and the Associated, which
really is the Standard, and that these
two companies now practically are in
control of the situation.
The increase in the price of oil doubt
less will add largely to the earnings
of all the large companies, and present
indications are that the year will be a
highly prosperous one for these con-
Germs.

In the plot in beautiful Hollywood
cemetery, Richmond, Va. long since
set aside as her last resting place, the
remains Of Mrs. Jefferson Davis have
been laid beside those of her distin-
guished husband. When the South. as
a final tribute to the leader of its lost
cause, prepared a burial place or him
at Richmond, in 1898, it did not forget
the wife who had been his loyal and
inspiring helpmate through many years
OF vicissitudes as she had been the
proud companion of his years of
achievement. Space was also set aside
for the children and beside them the
woman who bad the affection of the
Southland in quite as marked degree as
her famous husband now reposes.
Varina Howell was born in Natchez,
Miss, May Z, 1896, daughter of a sol

Mrs. Philip p. Wilcox, a slender lit
ole woman, weighing scarcely lOo
pounds, is the village blacksmith OF
College View, Neb. She learned her
somewhat unusual trade from her nus
band.
Having taken up the work at nfst
for pleasure, Mrs. Wilcox found her
health steadily improved with the eX-
e~rcise, and decided to keep the little
Wilcox blacksmith shop open Il
summer while her husband was away
working in the railroad shops. Her
success was so marked that b has
kept at the work ever since. She can
shoe a horse as we'll as any other
blacksmith in the country, though she
admits this is one part Of the work
which is a little distasteful to her.
Mrs. Wilcox was a teacher before
her marriage, and now holds a teach
er's certificate. She said: There is
more money in blacksmithing. If some
of those poor, overcrowded teachers
would try this business once they would
never 90 back to the school room again.
I'm bringing up my girls Ii same way.
The eldest is an expert bicycle repair
er now and the younger w are also
good at the business. The Oldest girl
has a bank account that she earned
from bicycle repairing"
One day a farmer led up a mettle-
some young horse to be shod. Mr..
Wilcox went forward to tax charge
of the animal, but it's owner shook his
head.
IF you don't mind, PHIL he said,
"Id rather Mrs. Wilcox would do this
lob. NE colt seems to w Il weak
ness for her. He nearly kicked the
shop down when Il man tried to shoe
him down in Lincoln Il few weeks ago.
but when Mrs. Wilcox did 1t before
he acted like a lamb. She charms
them some way. Maybe It's the way
she talks to them"
Mrs. Wilcox stroked the horse for a
moment on the nose, and, talking gent,
ly to him all the time, began the work,
the animal Offering no resistance what
ever, though he had laid back his ears
threateningly at Mr.. WilcoX's APP
proach.
Noting the look Of surprise caused
by the ease with which she welded a
heavy hammer, Mrs. Wilcox smiled.
Its not so much strength" she said,
though of course I'm a hundred per
cent stronger than / wag when I began
this work. It's more in Knowing just
how, and, perhaps, n really enjoying

impression that there is to be no fun or joy in the high
school. On the contrary, every day should be full of joy
and cheer that come with doing good work and living for
something that is worth while. Glass scraps, hazing
and rowdyism are neither humorous nor conducive to
real manhood and womanhood.
Athletic work has assumed Il place in the school world
that is simply out Of all proportion TO its merits. 1t has
taken possession of our colleges and universities to such
an extent that III the student world an institution Is
Judged by its athletics. But there is a tendency just at
present on the part of some colleges and universities u
throw off the yoke. This intense athletic spirit has
taken hold of some of our high schools and in some IL
stances seems to be the dominant force.
However,, every high school should be equipped with
IA good gymnasium and the boys and girls should have
constant systematic training in physical culture. This
training should be supplemented with play. Interclass
games can be made healthful and helpful sport and can
be kept secondary to the real purpose of school life.

CURSE OF ToADYING TO WEALTH.

There is a natural tendency among men OF
great wealth to ossify. They regard them
selves as apart from the people, as great and
afar off. and hold themselves as immune not
only from their fellows, but from the opera
tions OF the laws that have. been formulated
for the protection OF all. That is the result
with all men who toady to money or who be-
long to the aristocracy that depends not upon

birth. culture or attainment, but upon the possession of
vast sums Of money. One of the greatest curses with
which we have to contend arises from the adulution of
any particular class that leads us to forget equality.
The true American would as soon read the history of
a goodly washerwoman as that of the greatest society
leader that ever lived. Franklin never asserted equality.
He took 1t as his own natural life and said nothing about
it. 1t was the average man from whom Franklin came,
He couldn't rise, for he never had fallen, and he couldn't
sink because that quality wasn't in him.
