Phones: Sunset 1907 Home 2t2A

PASADENA, Feb. t7.-Kicked by a
horse and rendered unconscious, Mayne
Meyers, son of j. g. Meyers of 15t De-
lacy street, lay under the hoofs of the
vicious animal I'm the Dayton street
livery, while the brute trampled upon
him and frightfully lacerated his face
and body. The lad was rescued by Of
flcer Coping, who was near the stable
at the time of the accident and who
heard the cries of the injured lad as he
felt the first crushing blow upon his
skull.
The wound received from the kick
cut a deep cash in the scalp and left
the imprint of the iron-shod hoof over
the temple, extending onto the cheek,
marking the lad for life.
Bruises and cuts all over the upper
portion of the body and a cash from
the right cheek to the lower right jaw
were received in the trampling the
horse took delight in performing on the
PROSTATE and unconscious body of the
lad.
Mayne Meyers is but 13 years of age
and was wandering about the stables
when he stopped behind the horse. Be-
fore he could get out of the way of the
blow he saw coming, the lunge of the
horses hind feet had caught him on
the head. The blow was not very hard
owing to the distance the lad stood be-
hind the horse and he fell forward in
stead of backward. Then followed the
cruel tramping of the iron shoes over
his body.
He was taken to the emergency hos
pital in the ambulance of Adams, Tur-
ner e Stevens and there DIR. A. d. S.
-fIcCoy took twenty stitches in the
,~.VounG.
The lad will recover, though he will
always bear the mark of the brutal
kick

BUROETTE DEMANDS
FAITH IN DEITY
Says Men Have Faith In Their Fellow
Men Whether They Want to
or Not, and Cites Ex=
ampIes

"Have Faith in God" was the topic
of Rev. Robert j. Burdette. He said in
part:
Faith! Why, skeptic, you have faith
in men; men who have lied to you;
men who have deceived you; men who
have failed you; men who have robbed
you. Why can't you have faith in
God, who never since the world was
failed man or woman or child who
trusted in him?
You have to have faith in men
whether you will or not. You lie
down to sleep in sleeping car as
though it was your own little bedroom
at home There were three accidents
on that division last year. Does that
keep you awake minute? You lie
down and sleep because you have faith
in the engineer. AS your eyes close
drowsly you seem to see him with a
glance at his gauges, a nodded signal
to his stoker, his hand resting lightly,
but with a grip of steel on the lever.
The wave of a lantern, white and green,
starts him. Leaning out of the cab
window, his eyes measure every foot
O fthe track as the headlight cuts a
swath of light in the night. A glance
now and at the landmarks as they leap
into view like specters, plunge into the
darkness again-nothing escapes him.
1lgnt on IHe SeCOHu lHe WlllSllc
screams for a crossing; it shrieks for
the tunnels; it cries out for the track
walker at the bridge and makes its
long call for the station.
Have faith in him? You know you
have. The president of the road with
his wife and little ones are swinging
across the desert in their private car.
Whom does he trust when he knows
the desert in their private car. Whom
does he trust when he knows the tails
are hot with regular and special trains;
running in two and three sections, eX-
ira freights clogging the sidings, and
with constructions working their way
between trains as best they can? He
trusts a train dispatcher a hundred
miles away, sitting in the silence of the
midnight, coming map that would
puzzle your brains to read a line Of
carrying a dozen trains and as many
timecards in his clear brain, changing
TIE threaded map as trains meet and
pass or wait; holding one here; slow
ing another there; sending another like
lightning to reach passing point; this
one to the siding and that one out on
has faith in that man, as you have. He
has faith in a man in the tower at the
head of the block, watching for trains;
reading whistle and headlight, catch
ing a number as it speeds by in the
night like a meteor-wonderful, isn't
it. Well, can't you trust God and his
stars?"

day and Goes In Swimming at
Long Beach, but Comes
Out Quick

The Tacoma chamber of commerce
visitors filled in large day Of sight
seeing yesterday, which they concluded
by attending Bob Burdettes lecture at
the Auditorium at night. 1T was just
about the best day of the trip" said
one tired excursionist, as he returned
to the Lankershlm hotel in the even
ing. This place gets my vote. NO
wonder st. Peter had to tie those people
down."
The visitor alluded to a story told by
Gales Jonson the night before A man
who died and went to heaven saw a
crowd of unhappy people chained down
I'm q corner. He asked ST. Peter about
1t and was told they were Southern
California people, nearly all of whom
went there, and st. Peter said they had
to chain them down or else they'd go
back.
One large delegation visited Whittier,
where they were driven through the
orange groves and another went to
Long Beach. The orange grove people
returned with arms full of fruit and
nearly every one in the party wanted
to buy an orange orchard. They visited
the Baldwin orchard, three miles from
Whittier, and six different men tried to
get an option on the place.
AS usual Southern California is max
ing a strong impression with the women
of the party. Their greater suscepti-
bility to it's natural beauties and the
opportunities for flower culture appeal
to them so strongly that many of the
men of the party have been afraid they
will never again be contented in Ia
coma.
Wife Wants to Stay
II almost wish / hadn't brought my
wife along" said one of the visitors.
I'm almost afraid I'll never be able to
get her home again. She'd like to have
one of those fancy little cottages and
fuss around and raise flowers l can't
see any money in it, though"
Several of the Long Beach visitors
went in bathing. One of them, who is
anxious not to have his name appear in
print, is a deacon in the Congrega-
tional church. A fundamental principle
of his code of ethics, drilled into him
when he was boy, was not to go IN
swimming on Sunday. Just at the
height of his enjoyment the deacon was
reminded by one of the others of the
party that it was Sunday. He was so
overcome when he realized the awful
truth that he allowed a big wave to
knock him over and almost strangle
him. He scrambled up the beach as
quickly as he could, with an apprehen-
sive glance down the line of bath houses
to see If his wife had discovered him,
and dressed as quickly as he could. She
was strolling with another party
further up the beach and had not seen
him.
Il never dreamed of it's being Sunday"
said the deacon. You lose track of the
seasons here and it's just about as easy
to lose track of the days of the week.
Many of the guests were taken on
motoring excursions by members of the
local chamber having machines. and a
party In car belonging to Karl Will
mer were delayed by breakdown near
Hollywood and We're unable to reach
the Auditorium in time for the lecture.
