 "I see that Opie Reed has been up here telling Arkansas stories to the president" said c. F. Speer of Fort Smith.
 "They are proud Of Opie's literary ability down in Arkansas, but there is lot of people in the state besides the types Reed depicts It makes a good many Arkausans tired to have IL hurled at them that the entire popu- lation of the state is composed of 'hiu | billies'
 There is one Arkansas story that will make any Arkansas man fight. l think Reed told that one, too. It is about the stranger who got off at a little town and found a gathering 0f citizens of the place in the public square.
 Whats going on here.' he asked. Is 1t a fair or celebration of some kind?'
 Nope said a resident, 'tain't that. but Judge Browns son is 21 years old today. and they're going to catch him and put some clothes on him.
 The defeat of General Grosvenor. of Ohio, for renomination to congress to- day, was the occasion of many visits of sympathy by members to the gray headed old warriors desk.
 Grosvenor is one of the features of congress. He is the best rough and tumble debater on the republican side and is always put forward to stand off John Sharp Williams when Will Hams clears for act'17.
 Grosvenor has a ready wit, is an in- tense partisan. and has a fine sense of humor. Not long ago he was urging the republicans to stand firm and vote against the insurgent plan to defeat the statehood bill. Representative Simms called his attention to the fact that he had voted with the democrats on an exactly similar proposition, a few years ago.
 No. sir" shouted Grosvenor, "I did not vote with the democrats. The dem- ocrats voted with me.
 He is known in the house as "Old Figgers' because of his election fore casts, in which he always claims ev- erything for the republicans. It is one of the griefs of his life that he did not have foresight enough in the latest presidential election to claim Missouri for Roosevelt. Tawney Of Minnesota, beat him at that
 Champ Clark once call Grosvenor "the stud book of arithmetic" which is a mighty comprehensive description to a farmer or breeder. A reporter heard it, and, not. knowing what a stud book was, wrote it stud bug" That name also cIings to Grosvenor. Secretary Root attended the wedding of the daughter of Justice NIcKenna and after the ceremony hurried to the State department. In a few minutes | he was summoned to the White house. His messenger brought his overcoat and silk hat. Secretary Root placed the hat on his head. but immediately removed it.
 This is not my hat; get my hat" said Secretary Root to the messenger. That is the hat you wore when you came in, sir" replied the messenger.
 They found a card on which was printed, George Whitefield Brown, % underneath the band. Evidently" said a bystander. "M-. Root exchanged hats with Mr Brown NO, sir" the messenger. replied. se- verely, MT. Brown exchanged hats with MT. Root.'-Washingt dispatch l to Rochester Democrat Chronicle.

MIDDLE LIFE
Time When Women Are Susceptible to Many Dread Diseases-IntelIigent Women Prepare for it. Two Relate their Experiences.

! H6 CQdngc or llIe IS the most critical period of a woman's existence, and the anxiety felt by women as it. draws near is not without reason.
 Every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time in- vites disease and pain.
 When her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apOplexy, or congestion of any organ, the ten dency is at this period likely to become active and with a host of ner- vous i1'ritatiOns make life a burden. At this time, also, cancers and tumOrs are more liable to form and begin their destructive work.
 Such warning symp- toms as sense of suffO- cation, hot flashes, head aches, backaches, dread of Impending evil, timid- ity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, cOnstipa- ton, variable appetite, weakness, inquietude, and dizziness, are promptly needed by in- telligent women who are apDrOachinp the period

It is estimated that four thousand persons make their living by begging in London. Their incomes average $7 50 a week This makes a total all together of $500, 900 a year.

VENICE, Sept. 1S.-The Country club
reception committee has made elabor-
ate arrangements for stag banquet on
Friday evening to be rendered the
judges presiding al the dog show. To-
day the cages in which the dogs are to
be exhibited were placed around the
walls of the new pier dancing pavilion
where the show will be held, and other
preliminary work in preparation for
arrival of the dogs tomorrow and
Thursday morning were completed.
The benching was done under the di-
rection of W. II. Chutes and Tom
Banks of the Ascot kennels. who found
that there was ample room in the build
ing for $50 dogs without interfering e
with the space of the dancing floor. OF
the local dogs entered none is looked to
with more certainty as a prize winner
that Miss Checkers, Il Boston terrier
owned by Miss Wanda X. Hayes of
Ocean Front and Rose avenue. The
animal. which weighs 16h ounces is a
thoroughbred and will be entered in the
puppy class. Signor Donatelli, director
of Donatelli's band, has entered Il mon
ster dog that he says Is a Corsa di Presa
puppy, a native of Italy and the only
one of it's kind in Southern California.
The local dog catcher, Sunny Simpson,
a lanky. good natured negro, has half
dozen animals that he will endeavor to
have accepted as exhibits. These in
clude four terrier puppies that have
been pronounced of thoroughbred eX-
traction.

FOOTBALL MEN
ARE WORKING
NEW RULES GIVE 0PPORTU-
NIFTY FOR SURPRISES
Los Angeles Coaches Have Com
menced Preliminary Practice and
Are Digging Out
Material

Again comes the thud of the pigskn
and the eXhilarating atmosphere OF the
gridiron. Without exception Los Az
geles colleges and academic institu-
tions have returned to the good old
American game declaring that English
Rugby is not the sort of thing that
appeals to the American youth.
There is bound to be an interesting
series of games under the new regime,
as the recent rules which were tormu-
lated for the purpose of eradicating
some of the dangerous elements OF the
game promise to be productive of no
small mix-up when the teams get in
action.
Bill Reid, the famous Harvard coach,
has determined that the new regula-
tions came as AN opportunity for indi-
vidual brainwork by his men, and he
is answering but few questions as re-
CARDS their import.
"You must work that out for your
self" was his response to the f1rSt IN
qury put to him by q recruit at Cam
bridge last week.
The plan is an excellent one and
might be followed to an effective degree
by Southern California coaches. Mere
machine play was a factor that serious
ly marred the old game, as many of the
men went through each formation with
only one thought, that there was but
one thing to be done after signal had
been called.
The innovation affords opportunity
for a greatly varied performance, and
the sooner pigsldn men learn 1t the
better. The big eastern universities
are taking time by the forelock and
have already gone into secret practice
at this early stage of the season. Nu-
merous surprises are to be anticipated,
as other means than those existing
heretofore must be brought into play.
STUB" Roesch, former coach of the
Los Angeles high school team, has de-
cided to trust his destiny with Throop
Polytechnic institute of Pasadena for
the coming season, and the mechanical
boys will possess an advantage that re-
suited in no end of good for the local
academic lads during several years
past.
With r. l.. Bindhammer, formerly OF
Northwestern, who is to act as physical
director at Throop, Roesch expects to
turn out a rafting good team. The
men are light but should make more
than good in their class.
Lee of last years team has been
eleven, as Archibald, last seasons
leader, will not return to school.
st. Vincent's and Occidental have
started practice, and the Highlanders
from the present showing promise to
put I'm a strong bid for the champion
ship which they won last year.
Haggerty has but few heavy men to
work with and his eleven Will lack
some of the ayoirdupois which distin-
guished the team of 1906.
Coach Holmes OF u. S, G. had his
men on the varsity field yesterday for
the first time this season. Holmes de-
clares that he will make no predictions
this year asrto the outcome.

WOMAN BURNED
BY GASOL|NE {
STOVE ExPL0DES IN LITTLE
KITCHEN
Injuries to Mrs. Emma WardWell May
Result Fatally - Man Makes
Heroic Effort to Rescue
Her

Mrs. Emma Wardwell of 1923 Maple
avenue was fatally burned late last
night by an explosion of gasoline
stove which she was filling. The
Kitchen of the cottage in which the
accident occurred was partially de-
| stroyed Mrs. WardWell carried the
burning gasoline stove into the little
back yard and threw 1t over the fence,
where it burned out harmlessly.
Mrs. Wardwells clothing caught fire
and burned the lower part of her body
terribly
Alexander Baker, "a lodger at the
Wardwell home, heard Mrs WardwelPs
screams and ran to her assistance. He
went to the kitchen first, before he was
aware that the woman was in danger,
and endeavOred to put out the flames.
When he heard Mrs. Wardwell scream-
ing in the back yard he rushed out and
with his bare hands snatched the burn
ing clothing from the woman's body.
Had it not been for Bakers assistance
it is deemed probable that the woman
would have been burned to death.
Mrs. Wardwel was terribly burned as
II was, and it is not believed that she
can recover Mr.. Baker also sustained
severe burns upon his hands while at
tempting to rescue the woman. Robert
Wardwell. the husband of the injured
woman, arrived at the scene few min
utes after she had been carried, scream
ing in agony, into the house He is em-
ployed as a painter. Late last night
Mrs. Wardwell was resting more easily.
but there is little hope for her, rs al
most the entire surface of her body is
scared by the flames of the burning
gasoline.
