Sold.

An English cook dreamed of a lot
terry and, despite her masters advice,
invested her savings in a ticket A
few days later the employer was as
tonished to see that the ticket had
won 100000. He was a bachelor and
she was an old servant. 1t was i'm
possible to think of parting. He pro-
posed and was accepted, and they
were married by special license next
morning. AS they drove away from
the church he said to her: "Well,
Molly, two happy events in one day.
You have married, trust, a good hus-
band. You have something else
let me ask you about the lottery
prize Thinking her husband meant
to scold, she replied, with a sigh Of
relief: Don't say no more about it..
I thought how it would be and that l
should never hear the last of it, so l
sold the ticket to the baker for a
guinea profit"

Girl Patriots in Russia,

The faculty with which the Russian
girl sacrifices her outward appear
ance to her inward convictions has al
ways amazed me, When she feels
herself slightly exalted on political
questions off goes her hair, with less
apparent concern or scruple than the
farmer shows when he cuts off the
tangled name of some old nag.

Stuck Up for Him.

The following dialogue was heard
between two friends a few days ago:

MURDERoUs PERIOD IN RUSSIA.
Difficult Task of Count Whites Sue

cessor.
M. Stolypin, Count Wittes success
sor as Russian premier, has frankly
said in an interview: "The task
have before me is one which can hard
ly be done by any human hand" His
is surely the most unenviable emf
hence in the world. &
Count Witte failed not only on &C.
count of the inherent difficulty of the
task Of governing Russia with the
bureaucracy still in power behind him,
but also because he could not com.
mand the loyalty of any party. He
had made his career by intrigue, and
nobody trusted him. NJ Stolypin is
a far better, if less astute, man. He
is the only member of the old ,cabi-
net who made himself heard and re.
spected before the douma.

meet the queens mother, the Comtesse

NERVY C0BLER'S SON
POSES AS REAL MARQUIS
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
PARIS, Jan. ga cobbler's son
named Dieudonne Ercole, who masque-
raded as the Marquis de st. Aubin and
st. Andre Comte de Courcelles, was
sentenced today to five years impris-
onment after an astonishing career of
fraud.
Ercole is an accomplished Don Juan,
and by his great personal attractions
he succeeded in turning the heads of a
number of women and defrauding them
of 100000. He lived in very elegant
style in house near the Ecole Mill
taire, keeping motor car, horses. car
riages and number of servants. His
coat of arms was inscribed with the
motto, WAR virtue and worth"
In 1902 he made the acquaintance of
Nine. V. and her daughter in Rheims
and borrowed G8000 from the mother
and 10000 from the daughter and then
disappeared, leaving his own mother in
charge of the assistance publique.
He then went to Belgium, where he
met a Nine. Durcampf. with a fortune
of $4,000. He proposed marriage, and
was accepted, but just before the cere-
mony he told her his real name, adding
that he was the natural son of the
Due de Penthievre. Nine. Durcampf
who was anxious to become a duchess,
did not mind and the wedding took
place. A year later he left her with a
baby and without any money.
The marquis" next made the ac-
quaintance of Mile. Armandine Van
Gelder, an actress, and managed to
borrow considerable sums of money
from her. He also borrowed her jewels
without her permission.
For this he was brought before the
magistrate. In answer to questions he
said: IT am an attache of the French
ambassy at Madrid. You know my
name. Arrest me If you dare" The
magistrate did not dare, and the mar
quis" disappeared, and has not been
heard of since. He was sentenced to-
day by default
The woman he married in Belgium
has begun an action for divorce.

California Has
Plenty of Coal

The recent articles published by The
Los Angeles Herald, Times and Even
ing News respectively, describing the
vast deposits of coal discovered and
now being developed by the Stone
Canyon Consolidated Coal company at
Stone Canyon, Monterey county, Cali
fornia, is the engrossing topic of the
whole west, particularly in the state of
California, where the distressing ex-
perience of the past month makes i'm
perative a dependable supply of coal
for the future All that is now needed
to fully meet this crying demand is the
construction of a railroad from Stone
canyon to Bradley. the nearest point
from the mine on the Southern Pacific
railroad.
To accomplish this, the Stone Canyon
Consolidated Coal company have issued
gold bonds for $2,500,OO0, redeemable
in 1920, interest on which is payable in
gold semi-annually at the rate of per
cent per annum. These bonds are now
for sale in Los Angeles and full partic-
ulars may be had by calling on the
general agent for the company, j. Fl.

GAS REPORT GOES
TO COUNCIL FIRST
COMMITTEE TO JOIN EXPERTS
IN REPORTING
Yonkin Holds AIoof and There Is
Vague Talk In His Ward Of
Circulating Recall Pc.
ttons

Not until the council meeting Mon
day will the report of the gas experts
engaged by the gas inquiry committee
of that body be officially made public.
Though it's contents have been dis
counted and forecasted, Chairman
Lyon, bowling to the wishes of Commit
teeman Wallace, decided to hold the
report till the formal council session.
Committeeman Yonkin, who stated
previously that he washed his hands
of the gas inquiry and refused to have
anything further to do with it, had no
voice in the final report and declares
he will not sign it, The inquiry was
not conducted according to his liking.
On the other hand because of the
charter provisions concerning council
mems duties, opponents of Councilman
Yonkin in his ward threaten to organ
ize a recall movement alleging that
negligence in performing public duties
is good ground for recall under the
laws.
Report Is Revised
Since the conferences between Mayor
Harper and the two gas committeeman
it is understood that the report of Ex-
perts Frank Foveaux and Roderick
Mckay has been altered in many re-
spects. It's wording was changed, it
is admitted, though officially the COM
mitteemen will not declare what the
changes were.
There is difference of opinion
among gas experts on the point
whether the mains now laid are in good
condition, former Inspector Read stat
ing that they are too weak and worn
out to stand the high pressure which
Is needed to distribute gas through the
present system. This is denied In the
report.
The final report, which is based on
examinations made long after the re-
cent rains and when the newly in
stalled generator was in working order,
will recite that the pressure is now ad-
equate for the city's needs; that an
other generator Is being installed and
that no further scarcity need be feared.
Supplementary Work
Messrs. Lyon and Wallace will sub
NIT a supplementary report comment
ing on these recommendations and
making suggestions independently. 1t
Is possible that Committeeman Yonkin
will submit minority report, though
he announced several days ago that
he would have nothing further to do
with the inquiry. His remark made to
a friend that "There was too much hot
air about the case" may show the trend
of his feeling in regard to the inquiry.
Mayor Harper said last night that
he thought from present conditions, as
reported on by the two experts, there
will not be another fuel famine" In
Los Angeles, as the gas company Will
be in position to meet the demands.
On the other hand, there Is a move
ment on TO engage new experts to re-
View the report of the other two.
Expert Foveaux returned to Oakland
last night. He draws four days pay
at $25 day.

TRIBUTE PAID BRYAN
BY ONE WHO HAS BEEN
V LIFELONG FRIEND

A we'll known Los Angeles woman
who has known William Jennings
Bryan from childhood sends to The
Herald the following high tribute to
his personal character:
What was demonstrated by actual
truth in the individual trial needs no
scoffer to repudiate the fundamental
truths taught by Mr.. Bryan during his
campaign of 1866. The best test of
the matter in all his public expressions
are the practical corroborators who
earnestly realize the great movement
and pressure for the public needs
brought to bear in better necessities for
our nation. Instead of looking back
over the past what was at that time
considered mistaken truth, we will look
forward to the golden future unfolding
the man of experience, virtue and pre-
served vitality to shine In the light of
intelligence that the world can recog-
nize as a person fitted to fill the highest
position of our American nation. We
pause upon the new threshold for
William Jennings Bryan, son of
American soil, who comprehends her
laws and her people.
when man has achieved greatness
in any direction there is a pardonable
desire on the part of the public to know
details of his private life. Some one
has said that a great man Is never great
to his valet, insinuating that the char
aC ter which poses before the footlights
OF public activity is not consistent with
that which Is witnessed behind the
scenes. But truly great man is great
In all circumstances of life. His great
ness appears most in the little things.
He knows, like Michael Angelo, that
trifies make perfection, but perfection
Is no trifie.
1.-The home life OF w. j. Bryan is a
continuous manifestation of qualities
OF mind and heart which have made
him the beloved teacher and friend that
has ingratiated himself into the hearts
Of millions on this great globe He
comes to us again upon work of noble
ness, the mission of love to enrich the
hearts OF suffering and to lift the erring
youth to loftier purposes in life. His
name VIII go upon pages of history, as
one of the greatest educators to the
people of this century. Those heated
campaigns, although defeat, have not
been without great gain. From Mr..
Bryan came the depth of contention
that has taken glow and CLEAN of his
hard fought compaigns. He VIII again
take up the stump to become radiant
with controversy and redOlent with elo-
quence, as his political thoughts sweep
onward to the goal of the ballot. While
Plato stood for reason, and Shylock for
Justice, so we stand stronger united for
universal duty and responsibility, reoog-
nizing the fact that there Is no end for
