1t is an Interesting study to note IN

for this reason they give n fair idea of
the life and surroundings of progeni-

with those of the calf.
The foal when few days old can

ARE F0lLED IN EFFORT TO
ROB VICTIM
His Cries Quickly Bring Help, and, in
Anger, HoIdup Man Fires
Bullet Into His
Hand

Two daring highwaymen shot and
sIightly injured Louis Demeson, a
wealthy restaurant keeper Of Chicago,
who is visiting in Los Angeles, In at
tempting to hold him UP at Florida and
Francisco streets while he was return
ing home from the theater last night.
The robbers became frightened at
Demeson's yells and ran away. They
did not succeed In robbing him.
The bullet the hlghwayman fired at
Demeson passed between the first and
second fingers of his right hand, tear
ing the flesh slightly.
Demeson is rooming at the house
at 1921 Florida street. He passed the
evening at a local theater. He walked
from the Figueroa car line toward the
house. When he approached the cor
ner of Francisco street two small men
dressed in dark clothes suddenly step
ped from behind tree and ordered
him to throw up his hands. Demeson
did so but cried out for help. At the
same moment Guy Carleton, q young
man who was visiting q few doors
away, saw the affair and ran down the
steps toward the men.
Hearing Carleton coming one of the
robbers uttered an oath and fired his
revolver at Demeson. The two men
then turned and ran up the street.
Several persons living in the vicinity
heard the shot and rushed to their
doors in time to see the men running
away. There was no organized effort
made to capture the robbers.
A report was at once sent to the po-
lice station and detectives were de-
tailed on the case.

RAILROAD BUILDER
AT THE ALEXANDRIA

M. j. Heney Of Seattle, the man who
built the Copper River road in Alaska,
which has just been purchased by the
Guggenheims of New York, is at the
Alexandria.
Mr.. Heney is one of the best known
contractors and railroad builders in the
country and in recent years he has been
extensively engaged in building opera
tions in Alaska.
He built the White Pass & Yukon
railway Of Alaska and was engaged in
building the Copper River road from
Valdez to Fairbanks when the Gug-
genheims began negotiations for the
property and stopped the work.
Several miles of track had been laid
and 1t promises to be an interesting
railroad.
The Guggenheims have been acquir-
ing much Alaskan property of various
kinds and they have also been consid-
ering taking over the White Pass G.
Yukon road. This road is rapidly be-
coming favorite with tourists and
last year great many from all parts
of the world took the summer trip.
Mr.. Heney is in Los Angeles on q
| ing it royalty.
| Up and down the coast he is we'll
] known and wherever he goes, be it to
| the frozen north of Alaska or the sunny
south of California, he always has a
host of friends to greet him.
Just have to run down here now
and then for a little rest and to see
some of these good people of the Angel
city" said he last night in the corridor
at the Alexandria.
"No,Nnot bit of business. I am here
JUST for pleasure and could not be in
duced to touch business with forty
foot pole.
"All along the coast find everything
thriving, however, and that Is most
gratifying. We are moving at a great
rate in Seattle, and in Los Angeles I
see you are doing the same. The OPEN
ing Of the railroads in Alaska in re-
cent years have made a great change
in travel 1t is no longer as 1t was
when the early prospectors trudged
wearily over miles of snow in their
search for gold"

FELINE REFUSES TO EAT
PRETTY LITTLE KITTY-FISH
to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
STINGAREE, Iowa, Feb. 23.-James
Stang, a well-known resident of this
place, has a cat on whose intelligence
he is willing to stake a great deal. The
feline in question is a large cream
tabby with deep blue eyes and very
easily aroused temper; but Banquo, as
he Is called. has one weakness that
surpasses all others. He is very fond
of fresh fish.
Knowing this failing of his pet Mr..
Stang recently gave orders to his cook
to feed Banquo at least two small SAL
mon every day. The servant, however,
could not see the wisdom Of giving a
cat the best fish to be bought, so she
purchased a cheaper variety, hoping to
foist them off on an innocent cat and
pocket the difference in the price.
But she had reckoned without Ban
quo Like his illustrious namesake he
would not down-the fish. In despair
the maid sent to Mr.. Stang for a solu-
tion of the strange phenomena.
A single look at the fish she had Of
fered Banquo sufficed to show him why
his pet would not eat 1t. The maid had
bought catfish and Banquo was adverse
to eating anything at all related to his
own race

DEADLY FOLDING BED
INJURIES TWO GIRLS

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 23-Two
daughters of M A. Tschida, 436 La
fond street, were seriously injured yes
terday by the closing of folding bed.
Katrina, 18 years of age, being per-
haps fatally hurt. Annie, Is years of
age, received a compound fracture of
the right arm below the elbow. Ka-
trina's injuries were about the abdomen
and hips.
Annie, the younger girl, arose early
and left for church. When she had
gone a short distance she missed her
rosary and returned to search for it,.
Thinking, perhaps, she might have left
1t in bed she went to her room and was
making a careful search for 1t, trying
not to arouse her sleping sister, when
suddenly the upright portion Of the bed
fell over, catching her beneath 1t, with
her body thrown across that of her
sister. Annie's right arm, caught be-
tween the edges of the bed. was frac-
tured, but prevented the bed from clos
ing entirely, and probably saved the
lives of both the girls. The mother
and father, hearing the girls cries. hur-
ried to the room and lifted the bed
enough for them to escape.

HEARD AROUND
THE CORRIDORS
NOT WILLIAM RANDOLPH
OF eUBERNAToRIAL FAME
BY THIN BAvBspRoPPnR

William A. Hearst, a handsome and
distinguished looking travelling man
from Detroit, Mich, is at the Alexan-
dria, and, alas. there Is a story.
Mr.. Hearst has keen sense Of hu-
NOR and he appreciates q joke as we'll
as any one. He does not particularly
resemble William Randolph Hearst ex.
cept, perhaps, in the fact that he Is
clean shaven, but one whose acquaint-
anee with the erstwhile candidate for
governor of New York Is limited to the
pictures of him seen in Mr.. Hearst's
journals, might easily mistake him.
That was just what happened
A young reporter from an evening
paper called at the Alexandria yester-
day and announced that he had in
structions from his office to see Mr.
Hearst. At that particular moment Mr..
Hearst was having his finger nails man
icured by dainty little miss who sits
at table In the basement. Basement
ward went the young reporter.
He drew long breath, squared his
shoulders and, marching straight to the
table, introduced himself, his paper and
| the man who had sent him and an
nounced that he wanted to talk poll
tics.
New York politics, of course"
Mr.. Hearst looked at him, expressed
his pleasure at meeting him and then
| launched into a discourse on New York
politics.
Every one in New York is strong for
Bryan" he .confided to the young re-
porter, who knelt at the feet of politi-
cal wisdom, gathering on his copy pad
the crumbs that dropped.
Eyes, we all want Bryan to win," he
continued, and then began to point out
some of Mr. Bryan's good qualities.
Finally he interrupted himself with a
laugh. Young man, do / look like a
man who ever wanted to be governor?
Do / look like William Randolph
Hearst? Did you ever see Mr.. Hearst =?

from Detroit, Mich"
The reported tumbled, apologlzed, re-
marked that he seemed more cordial
than he had expected to find William
Randolph and finally retreated with as

Poisoned Stomach, Clogged Brain, Wa

He Seizes His Opportunity

There's no good reason for any mans
remaining a dyspeptic-a burden to
himself and family, when he should
be a producer.
There's only one reason why he has
been a dyspeptic and that is because
he has overworked his stomach so that
1t cannot secrete the juices and work
the muscles necessary to digest the
food
