INCOMES FROM PHOTOGRAPHS

AS the celebrity passed out of the
studio, the photographer gave him q
check for $780,
He's easy" said the man. 'He
ought to have copyrighted and handled
his photo himself. He might have made
$500 year out of it for life. provided
that he kept on writing books as pop
ular as The Swamp.
you'd be amazed if you knew how
many public characters handle their
own photos. There's bishops, there's
statesmen, there's artists, there's labor
leaders, and, of course, there's the lights
of the stage.
"These people got tired of seeing
their faces selling like hot cakes every
where, the photographer and the dealer
getting all the profit, they themselves
put off with beggarly hundred or so.
And so they took the matter in their
own hands, and today, when you buy
their pictures, the cent or two of profit
goes into their pockets instead of the
middlemans. And that profit very fire.

The Los Angeles District Federation
of Women's Clubs is entirely right in
its attitude OF hostility to the bill
board nuisance, but entirely wrong in
declaring a boycott" upon all mer-
chants and business men who may see
proper TO patronize billboards. The
boycott" is un-American, unfair and
the last act of a cause which has no
argument. Now in this case there is
plenty of unanswerable argument
against the billboard nuisanee-argu-
ment which in time will convince even
the dullest merchant that the, bill
board is not the place for advertise
ments. But the boycott is a thumb
screw and a bone-breaker which be-
longs to the middle ages. 1t is the
lgitator's sniekersnee and the walking
Helegate's brainless bludgeon. The la
Hes OF the federation should take it

He rejoiced in the not very humor-
Gus name of Wood, and he prided him
self on his jokes and smart repartee.
Few of his friends had escaped the lash
of his tongue, and he had victimized
many by his practical jokes-in fact, he
never lost an opportunity of being
funny. One day he met friend whose
name was Stone, and naturally a name
like that was too good chance to miss.
Good morning, Mr.. Stone" he said
gaily; land how is Mrs. Stone and all
the little pebbles?"
'Oh, quite well, Mr.. Wood" was the
reply. "How's Mrs. Wood and all the
little splinters ?"-Stray Stories.

Owing to the wood and coal famine
in Los Angeles, caused by the uneX-
pected advent of cold weather, the Los
Angeles Gas company has been sud-
denly called upon to furnish both heat
and light in double the amount ever
before demanded. The company esti-
mates that it pushed directly through
the pipes more than 100000 cubic feet
of gas per hour, and even then could
not meet the public requirement. The
new gas tank lacked few days work
of completion, so that assistance could
not be had from that quarter until
today. But by active effort on the
part of the company the situation is
materially improved and conditions
hereafter are expected to be much
more satisfactory.

Der of the boord of education, today
asks the electors of Los Angeles not
to vote for him, because, on account of

His wish should be respected. Mr..
Patterson has the fullest confidence of
the people of Los Angeles, who would
be glad to vote for him upon any

that perhaps no other man in Los An

Secretary Hitchcock has put all

three cases the entrymen had offered

Under the practice of the Interior
Department a homesteader may take
six months to establish construc-
tive residence on the land covered
by his applications; that 1s, he; may
take that length of time to go upon
the land and build his house and
Standardization. The communication
period is fourteen months from the
date of entry, when the entryman,
upon paying $1.25 an acre for his
holdings and submitting satisfac.
tory proof of residence during that
period, may receive patent for the
land covered by his entry.
The secretary is very positive in
holding that the>last eight months
OF the Communication period shall be
those of actual residence. On this
point he says that "in commutatio
cases the law not only requires that
it shall clearly and satisfactorily
appear from the proof that the bona
tide residence was established with
in the six months from the date of
the entry, but also that the actual
residence upon the land has been
continuous from the time it was es-
tablished until the date of making
of final proof" -.
In the cases recently decided the
proof is rejected without prejudice,
which means that the entrymen are
privileged to go back upon the land
and establish residence and other
wise comply with the law at any
time within the fve.year life of the
entry.

POISONOUS LIQUID
CAUSED HER DEATH
Young Lady Guest at De Sales Hall
Passes Away Under Distress
ing Circumstances.

Miss Celeste Mengothe of st. Louis,
guest at De Sales hall, connected
with the Villa de Chantal, died Tues
day morning from the effects of bi
chloride of mercury and wood alcohol
poisoning with which she had fingered
six days. At the request of her mother
the remains were at once prepared for
burial and shipped TO ST. Louis for in
torment The circumstances under
which the poisonous liquid was applied
were related today by DR.. G. G. Craig.
Sr.. the attending physician, who is
sued a certificate of death. According
to DR.. Craig the young woman, who
was 25 years of age, was suffering
from muscular rheumatism and one
day over week ago went to a medi-
cine closet and secured a bottle which
she supposed contained liniment. but,
which in reality contained corrosive
sublimate or bi-chloride of mercury
dissolved in wood alcohol The label
was plainly marked with the skull and
cross bones. Nevertheless the young
woman took the bottle to an elderly
lady who was a close friend and asked
that some of the liquid be rubbed on
her back and arms. This was done,
the eyesight of the other woman being
poor and preventing her from noting
the nature of the label.
The burns that resulted led to the
calling for DR.. Craig. who did all he
could TO save the life of the patient.
Symptoms of poisoning developed, the
result being the same as though the
liquid had been taken internally. Cor
oner Eekhart. on being informed. in
vestigated the case and ascertained
the facts as stated.
