FIREMEN ANGERED AT ALARMS
Mischief Makers Cause Engines to
Make Three DisagreeabIe
Runs for Nothing

Three times last week the fire depart
ment was called out to San Pedro
and Twenty ninth street, each time on
false alarm. The first alarm was sent
in Tuesday night, the second on Thurs
day, and a third Saturday night. AS a
result, mem bers of the department were
in a rather savage humor on the third
occasion, and demanded that the cul-
prits be caught.
What makes the trips in that neigh
borhood especially Objectionable is the
fact that San Pedro street is being
paved around Twenty ninth street, ev-
cry alternate street being barricaded to
prevent wagons damaging the work al
ready done. Each time the local de-
partment was called out these barri-
cades had to be removed.
Volunteer policemen watched the fire
boxes last night, and it is the intention
of the people of that section to try to
find the mischief makers. If they are
caught the firemen promise to make it
exceedingly disagreeable for them.

Prosperity in Mining

Mining pays. Some OF the greatest
fortunes In the world have been built
up through the mineral industry, and
there is no lack of evidence today that
money is being made more rapidly than
at any time In the previous history Of
the pursuit. On this head the Mining
World has collected some valuable

zone Of the greatest difficulties IN
art, " remarked critic, +" is to get ones
facts right, and for this you have to
go not to art, but to the people who
understand the things represented.
* received my first lesson in this
direction when, as a youth, I painted
a coast scene with ship in the fore
ground. 1t was highly praised by all
who saw 1t, with the exception Of an
old seaman, who, when he examined
the rigging, politely turned aside to
conceal his amusement. No ship, he
explained, could possibly have gone to
sea with the ropes and tackle arranged
as in my picture. So had to humble
myself to learn to draw reeving-
blocks, shrouds, yards, and other por-
tons Of ships rigging as they really
are.
But it is not always possible to be
true to fact.
Take, for instance, typical picture
which represents a herd of self-deny-
ing cattle grazing in a meadow where
the nerbage is of the scantiest, while
near at hand are unprotected fields of
grain into which they could walk at
will. Why did not the painter include
in his picture the fences which &C
tually surrounded the corn fields?
Simply because they would have spoilt
the composition, and consequently
reality had to be sacrificed to the de-
mands of art"

establishment. All this time however,
he kept studying at night to gain an
education, and to achieve something
better than an anxious interest In the
market price Of oats. The good mother
who looks down upon him in the Sem
ate can recall with much pride the
struggles of the son to better his place
in the world and she did her part to
help him. He went into politics and
was elected county auditor before he
was 30. This is always the best Office
in any courthouse and gave the young
man start not only in politics but
in business. His activity and shrewd-
ness in local elections led to his Sc
lection In 1892 as chairman Of the
state executive committee. He won
the election by such small majority
that there was no glory in It, but the
following year he managed the second
election of Mckinley as Governor with
splendid results. Later he went to
Congress from the old Garfield dis
trict and when Hanna died, came to
the senate by unanimous vote.

MOTHER OF SENATOR DICK OF OHIO.

Mrs. Magdalene Dick is one Of thu

Der and look down upon son who
is a member of the most powerful
legislative body on earth. That son
is the Hon. Charles William Frederick
Dick, senator from Ohio, who succeed
ed the lamented Mark Hanna.
There is especial swelling of pride
in the breast of Mrs. Dick as she looks
down from the Senate Gallery upon
her boy, for the reason that she knows
better than any one else how many
were the struggles and how rough the
paths that led to his present honor.
Both parents of Senator Dick were
born in Germany but they met and
married here, settling in Akron Ohio,
where the father was an humble arti-
san. He was careful and frugal after
the German fashion but was not very
successful in business. The little fam
lily knew what it was to work hard
for the necessities Of life. The future
senator knew what 1t was too, to be
born Of the traditional poor but honest
parents. His schooling was limited,

That the commercial interests of the
