Finally the tourist arrives at the
hotel by walking or by hiring a cab
or other conveyance.
The next night he is at the beach
and is enjoying himself until he finds
that he has fingered too long to arrive
in Los Angeles by the last car and
remains at the beach hotel all night
and plans for the next morning are
spoiled.
The tourist usually has a limited
time to remain in the city and desires
to see as much and have as good a
time as possible during that time, and
is 10th to hurry home at midnight.
Does not Los Angeles owe something
to the tourist from whom she derives
SO much?

SAWS ROCKEFELLER HAS
NO CHANCE OF HEAVEN

SHELBYvILLE, Ind, Nov. 20.-That
John D. Rockefeller stands about as
much chance to get into heaven as
camel has to pass through the eye OF
a needle was the opinion expressed
from the pulpit of the Pres
byterian church by the Rev. M. G.
Allison, of Indiana university.
He said: "There is a man who has
been characterized by Mark Hanna as
money mad He is said to be the
richest man in the world today, worth
almost a thousand millions of dollars
But he has no stomach. Many peo-
pie remark that he would be willing
to give all his money for a stomach
in good working order. I do not be-
lieve he would. He would want the
st. mach and might try to get it by
raising the price of Oil or by squeez-
ing it out of the other fellows by some
of the methods Of which he has been
accused; but he would not sacrifice
mis- wealth for it-not one-half, MOI
one-fourth, nor one-thOusandtn par
Of it. I doubt If he would sacrifice
50 cents for it."

TRAGIC Fate Of Mrs. Laura Scott,
Near Denver.
TEACHER LOSES WAY IN SNOW STORM
RoDv FOUND IN SNOWDRiFT
WITH HANDS cLAsPED IN
PRAYER.

DENVER, Nov. 2O.-Searchers have
found the body of Miss Laura Scott
the nineteen year old school teacher, OF
No. 1889 South Logan avenue, who
lost her way in the snow east of Parker
and was frozen to death. When the
body was discovered it was lying
upon it's back in three feet of snow.
The hands were clasped together on
the breast, as if in prayer.
The trail made by Miss Scott over
the snow covered prairie was fully
fifteen miles long, indicating that she
had not succumbed for many hours
after she became lost. At times the
trail was straight for miles, then it
would follow almost a circle, and at
other times it would double back upon
itself. She frequently stumbled into
ruts and declivities in the prairie and
fell into deep snowbanks, but she kept
up her brave fight for life until her
strength was exhausted, and then she
sank in the snow after crawling on her
hands and knees for some distance, to
slowly freeze to death.
The trail of Miss Scott was easily
followed, for not human being or
animal, apparently had passed over
the section she wandered about in for
so many dreary, heartaching and
death ending hours since the great
blizzard of week ago. There Is not a
road, q farm-h house or fence for miles
to break the unending prairie. and the
picture that was painted in the young
schoolmarm's mind all that long ter
rible night must have presented one
long chain of horror.

ARMoR PLATED AUTO.



lgauasnaire's Novel Machine Dui11 -
Withstand Ramning Of Trucks.
]. Harvey Ladew. the millionaire
leather dealer Of New York. has had
constructed for himself an armoret
automobile at a cost Of $4,000. which
il the first vehicle Of its kind built fol-
private use, so far as known, In any
city In the world, says the New York
World. A half inch plate Of chilled
steel protects the rear and side panels
Of the car from the axles up to within
three feet Of the hood. The sides OF
the seat of the chauffeur are similarly
safeguarded, so that all parts Of the
caz-that is to say, what would be the
vital parts in a warship-are proof
against ramming.
The French and German armies have
what are known az war automobiles
buttressed with steel plates to resist
shot and shell. Nh. Ladew's auto cal
has not been built to defy bullets, but
to turn aside the shafts or poles od
trucks or wagons.
The novel and original idea Of an
automobile protected by a plate OF
armor Is Mr.. Ladew's own and was
suggested by an accident In which be
figured. He has been noted for his
care and consideration for the rights
Of others when automobiling, but has
not always received the same consfd
GRAFTON himself, and has had two OF
three narrow escapes from injury by
recklessly driven trucks. The danger
from collision was brought strongly
to his mind last February, when he
and Mrs. Ladew were nearly plunged
into the East river through the gates
Of the Astoria ferry. house in New
York.
The machine Is beautiful In design
and ornamentation and exactly what
the owner wanted. The vehicle com.
plete weighs little more than two and
a half tons and is probably the heav'
lest automobile Of its size In the world

MercifnI Rabbit TrnppInE.

1t is confidently stated that the
shocking cruelties of the steel trap in
common use for catching rabbits can
readily and cheaply be prevented by
twisting few turns of copper or brass
wire closely around each jaw, below
the teeth, where the spring flies up, 80
as to insure the teeth being always
fixed full quarter of an inch open
when the trap is sprung. Rabbits are
thus caught with equal ease, and
when taken out of the traps are found
uninjured. To complete their purpose,
the traps must be placed far down in
the holes and be regularly visited early
and late. These modified traps are
most successful, with advantages rela-
tive to food, while dogs, cats and
birds derive proportionate freedom
from suffering when trapped by mis-
take.

Could Give Time Whine.

DR.. w. w. Keen, the noted surgeon
of Philadelphia, was praising speed
in surgical operations. The best sur
geons, he declared, were always the
swiftest. Speed was one of the great
essentials of fine perations, since the
briefer the period passed by the pa
tent under the knife, the greater the
chance for his complete recovery.
"On this head" DIR. Keen continued,
smiling, there Is story of distin-
guished surgeon.
He performed successfully a diff
cult and delicate operation on a mil
lionaire bankers wife, and, naturally,
the bill that he rendered for this oper-
alton was a large one. 1t was not
exorbitant, but 1t was enough-a rea-
sonable and just bill.
THE banker, though, thought other
wise. With an imprecation, he de-
clared the bill to be an outrage.
"'Why,' he cried, the operation
only took you 10 minutes
1.-THE surgeon laughed.
"'Oh,' he said, II that is your only
objection, the next time any of your
family needs an operation I'll keep
them two or three hours under the
knife"
