Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
In the study of roots and herbs, their

BOYS SHOW HOW
TO FIGHT FIRE
POLYTECHNIC BRIGADE WILL
GIVE NOON DRILL
Twenty-Five Youths Trained to Meet
Panic Emergeneies-Have
Invited Public to Look
On

Twenty-Five youths in the Polytech-
mic school will at noon today show
how in case of fire they will save life
and limb among their fellow pupils.
Their fire brigade is organized for
serious work and in an emergency can
be counted on to do it's duty. This is
vouched for by flremen who have in
spected the drill.
The idea had its inception last Sep
TENDER, when Claude Faithful, one of
the teachers of drawing, suggested
that the boys organize a brigade which
can be depended on to avert a panic
in case of fire, etc.
Immediately the members, over a
score, were trained in army tactics in
order to promote discipline and q fire
drill and stations were agreed on.
Every staircase will be guarded, win
dows will be watched, sentines will
be posted to guard against falls and
other means taken to avert danger to
inmates of the school.
The drill at noon today will be for
the benefit of the public. The fire
alarm bell will be sounded and the
pupils will get out as quickly as pos
sible through the twelve exits. When
the building has been emptied the
brigade will demonstrate how hose
connections are made and a squad will
go on the roof and play on imaginary
blazes to show the efficiency of the
system.
The officers of the brigade are George
Meyers captain; A. Clifford, first lieu
tenant Howard Walters, second lieu
tenant; c. Snow, first sergeant;
Thomas Felts, second sergeant and
Henry Zip, third sergeant.

quickly picked up the gem and swal-
lowed it. Then there was great ex-
element The owner of the diamond
demanded that the rooster should be
killed, but the owner objected to the
killing of the rooster, maintaining that
it was not his fault that the animal
had swallowed the diamond and that
the rooster was far more valuable than
the diamond. The Kansas man went
to the courts for relief, and for the
last year the case has been dragged
through the state courts without any
prospect of immediate settlement. The

GUARDIAN
All the While Poor Cupid Was Get.

Averted When Clerk Handed
out Coveted Document

Cupid was numerically tantalized
Yesterday afternoon while two of his
most recent victims sat in a dark cor
ner in the marriage license department
of the county clerks office waiting pa
tiently for the arrival of the guardian
of pretty 17-year-old Athena Person,
whose heart and hand for better or
worse had been wooed and won by
sturdy, strong and handsome AXel S.
Goldberg.
Why the guardian Of the fair young
bride-elect should apparently inten-
tionally so try the patience of the two
embryo housekeepers and mar their
otherwise laughing youthful counten-
ances by wrinkles of care and anxiety
could not even be figured out by little
Cupid.
With his empty CULVER dragging on
the floor the tiny boy tripped about
in the dark enclosure in front of Clerk
Watson's desk. At the sound of every
approaching footstep heard outside the
door the little fellow would run to
meet the visitor, hoping that each
newcomer would be the tardy guar
dian, Mrs. K, Moody.
No Guardian Came
The hour hand of the clock covered
with historical dust gradually APP
preached the moment when the doors
would be closed for the day and little
Cupid be compelled to submit to "A
Temporary defeat. Five o'clock was
only four minutes away, with no sign
of the guardian whose presence was so
much needed to seal eternal happiness
for blushing Axel and Athena. Yet the
guardian came not.
For a while it seemed to the clerks
and those assembled in the small room
that a tragedy was about to be enact
ed before them. The rosy cheeks. the
large honest blue eyes and the dark
| tresses that made a beautiful picture
of the girl aroused the sympathy of
every one who witnessed the scene.
Everyone wanted to come to her as
sistance. But as much as they wanted
| to, to that extent were they obliged
| to restrain themselves.
Cupid became fretful at first. His
sobs, mingled with tiny outbursts of
anger, could be plainly heard. At in
| tervals he climbed upon chair and
| from there to the counter and ran
along to the marriage license book
which lay open on the farther end OF
| the desk.

at the one remaining blank space on

Three minutes to five O'Clock and no
sign of the guardian. Developments
were reaching a crisis. Axel and AL
tena were discussing the meaning Of
the lateness OF the guardian. Those
who stood closest to them could de-
tect sounds of misgivings and see Axel
take the hands of his fair bride-to-be
between his and comfort her with en-
dearing terms.
At one minute to FIVE O'Clock hurried
footsteps were heard outside of the
door. The two principals quickly col
lected themselves and almost leaped
TO the door. In another instant the
guardian was upon the scene and ex-
plantations were hurriedly inter-
changed. But no sooner had this been
done than a new form of delay man
Tested itself. This was in addition to
the unruffing Of the good humor of the
guardian when she was informed that
she would be obliged to swear to her
relations to the fair Athena. However,
that was quickly disposed of.

Axel.

gently urged Athena before him.

At the marriage license counter Axe
removed his hat and raised his left
hand before the clerk had finished the
writing on the page.

dertone. The left hand came down
quickly.
Have you ever been married before,

decided tone of excitement.
Don't get frustrated. 1 don't mean

peace.

and Axel gritted his teeth.
Watson saw what was imminent and
Immediately sidetracked the on-com-

UP went Axels right hand and AL
tena nodded enthusiastically.
VERY well, then sign your names
here"
That done the clerk suggested that
81 was due the state for his services.
Axel produced a ripe and crisp
greenback.
Another calamity seemed imminent.
The clerk consulted his cash account,
but there was no change.
A hurried campaign throughout the
room ended all the excitement which
had reigned supreme for more than fif-
teen minutes.

TOWERMAN PREVENTS WRECK
Disaster on Interurban Railway
Averted by Presence of Mind
of EmpIoye

Passengers on Los Angeles Interur-
han railway car POS of the Glendale
line narrowly escaped being seriously
injured or killed by the nervy action
of the towerman at the San Fernando
crossing. Seeing that the car was
about to crash into the northbound
coast line train No. 81 he derailed the
electric.
Fortunately none of the passengers
was injured. Both the train and the
car were travelling at a high rate of
speed. The towerman suddenly dis
covered that collision was inevitable.
He threw the switch and the electric
car ran from it's track into ditch.
