ATTACKING THEM.
Two Young Girls in
Refugee Camp Cause
Arrest of John Angln
TAKES TO HEELS

John Angin, a married man, 20 years
or age, was arrested on Friday even
ing by Policeman w. P. Savage and
booked at the OFarrell-street police
station on two charges of attempt to
commit a criminal assault. He ap-
peared before Police Judge Shortall
yesterday. and. after being instructed
as to his rights. the cases were con-
tinued till Tuesday.
The complaining witnesses against
Angin are Teresa Roselini and Aurel1a
Sartinf, each IL years of age, who live
with their parents in adjoining shacks
at Bay street and Van Ness avenue.
Teresa was alone in the shack doing
some cooking about o'clock on Fri
day afternoon, when Angin entered. He
talked to her for a few minutes and
then attempted to assault her. She
fought him off and screamed for help.
Angin, becoming alarmed, left the
shack.
Angin walked straight to the shack,
where Aurelia happened to be alone.
He attempted twice to assault her, but
her screams and vigorous night pre-
vented him from accomplishing his
purpose.
AS Angin left the latter shack, Mrs.
Lena Giovanni, a married sister OF
Aurelia, approached it. Suspecting that
something was wrong, she hurried into
the shack and found Aurelia in tears.
Mrs. Giovanni questioned her and
heard her story about what Angin had
been doing. Mrs. Giovanni watched
Angins retreating figure till she saw
him enter a shack on Chestnut street,
between Laguna and Octavia, occupied
by Mrs. Liebers. She vent in search
of a policeman, but did not find one
till about 6 o'clock, when she met Saw
age.
Savage went with her to Mrs. Lieb-
ers' shack and when Angin saw them
he started, to run. He was better
Splinter than Savage, who jumped into
a passing wagon, and, whipping UP
the horses, soon overhauled him. The
man did not stop till Savage threatened
to shoot him.
Angin was handcuffed and taken
back to the shack, where both girls
had arrived, and they at once iden-
titled him as the man who attempted
to assault them. Angin has wlie

The Wise Man.

Once upon a time there was a poor,
over-worked Muck Raker who had
become tired OF his job. He was am
bilious. and felt that his efforts were
not appreciated. He had long nose
and wore magnifying glasses One
day while raking assiduously he was
accosted by stranger whose aspect
was even worse than his own. This
man was a Herald OF Light. His mis-
sion was to seek out sweetness and
virtue in naughty world. and he was
admirably equipped with dark-lan-
tern without any oil, and wore spec
'tacles with smoked lenses. "What
are virtue and honesty" inquired
the Muck Raker. 81 can't tell YOU
answered his companion sadly. Il
have never seen any" While thus
,conversing, they were joined by q
wise man who proved to be real re-
former disguised as an oculist. and
who, perceiving their error, persuade
ed them to exchange glasses. The
remedy was simple but effectual. The
Muck Raker is now working union
hours and is happy and contented.

Lining the Soil for Alfalfa.

1t will generally be necessary to

our soils are acid. The. bacteria
which live in the nodules of 'legumin-
Gus crops ana give them their power

and lime must be used to correct this
condition. Lime is useful in many
other ways. though it is not a direct
fertilizer, as many suppose, and a
word Of warning on this point may
not be out OF place. Lime does in
crease the crop-yielding capacity of
the soil, because 1t assists in setting
free forms of potash which may not
have been available as plant food be-
fore now, and 1t has somewhat the
same action toward insoluble forms of
phosphorus. Besides correcting acid
ity and thus making possible the rap

Of bacteria, It aids in the digestion of

forms where It will be most useful to

table matter or adding to the avail

The Novelist Who Writes Up" His
His Neighbors.

While more than one author of
the day is finding himself persona
non grata with people and communi-
ties which he has portrayed posi-
bly, with too unsparing a hand an
old question rises. How far has the
literary artist a right to put his fell
down in printers Ink?
The question, of course, really
Sits down to the matter of persons,
and concerns the novelist alone. An
infinity Of human material lies
around him and unless 0thello is to
lose his occupation altogether he
must be at liberty to use 1t as he
sees fit. Individuals suggest their
type to an artists mind, and II he
represents the type, which he has
every right to do, and the individual
happens to be a well-developed spec
linen, the latter's neighbors may -
quite unreasonably-agre as to who
must have been the original. A type
in the hands of a master Is bound to
suggest everything it excludes, and
nohing can be done abou It, II people
are hurt, he must console himself by
the reflection that he has written for
posterity, and posterity will absolve
him.
But deliberately to record circum-
stances and characteristics which are
not essential to the type, which will
identify some living person beyond a
doubt and make things uncomforta-
bic for him, means as a rule. that
the writer is not only betraying his
own artistic limitations, but Is for
getting the law of love.
