EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.
This Servant Girl Was Evidently a
Person of Resource.

AS a source of humor the Irish GER
want girl has long since fallen from
her high estate, a result probably due
to the better class of young women
from the Emerald Isle who come here
annually to help confuse the eternal
servant girl question" But now and
again one of the old, naively ignorant
sort turns up in a New York house
hold, as was demonstrated the other
day to a caller at a house on the West
Side. &
The girl who responded to the bell
was asked if her mistress was at
home. To this inquiry she surprised
the caller by putting her arms behind
her back and replying in a rich
brogue, as she thrust her face toward
the caller: Put TIL tickets in me
mouth, ma'am, an I'll go an see. Me
hands is W at."-N. Y. Press.

Waking Up a Boy.

Henry Johnson, a laboring man liv.
ing in Fond du Lac, Wis, has a son Is
years old, named Charles. Charles is
so hard to wake up mornings that
the father has to wake up several of
his nearest neighbors in getting the
boy out of bed.
Last month they threatened to go to
court about the matter, and since then
the father has taken to throwing the
boy out of the window into a pond
when it is time to get up. Charles goes
into the pond with a great splash,
the feel of the water arouses him,
and he wades ashore and gets ready
for breakfast with no harm done to
anybody
The invention is not patented, and
any father can use it. When winter
comes the boy can be pitched out
head first into a snowbank.

told Robbie that it was because he ate
soup that he was growing SO big.
The little fellow was pleased, indeed,
with the success of his plan. There
after, he ate every bit of the soup
without grumbling, and then went up
stairs and cut off the bottoms of his
trousers and sleeves again and again.
Mother wondered and wondered that
Robbie should grow so quickly, but
when he was to go to a party one
afternoon, and she saw that his best
clothes fitted him as well as ever, the
secret came out
Robbie was made to wear the spoiled
suit of clothes to the party and to ap-
pear among his playmates in them for
one long month.
And although he had hoped that
soon he would have to eat no more
soup, he was still made to eat quite as
much as ever.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness. it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much mere thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

MERCY SHOWN TO JANUARY.
Sentence of Missouri Vatican to be
COMMITTED.

Attorney General Bonaparte We'd
nesday recommended that the senten-
ce OF John William January, alias
Charles NJ. Anderson, be commuted.
He recommends that his sentence be
fixed at three months from the date
of his rearrest, and that he be pardon
ed at the end of that time, namely,
July 18th, 1907. The president has
approved of the recommendation.
January has become known as the
Missouri Jean Vatican" Twelve
years ago he was convicted of robbing
a postoffice in Oklahoma, and was
sentenced to five years in the federal
penitentiary at LeavenWorth. While
incarcerated he made an excellent
record, but escaped near the end of
his prison term. Going to Kansas
City he became waiter under the
name of Charles W. Anderson, and
subsequently started a small restau-
rant. Then he married, but in a
short time was recognized, rearrested
and sent back to serve out his term.
Petitions for clemency for January
have poured in on President RooSe-

NO PEACE IN FRISCO
LABOR WAR TO BE FOUGHT TO
\ FINISH.
Gloomy Outlook for PeOple-Must
Continue to Walk Indefinitely or
Pay High Cab Fares Unless Better
Protection is Afforded.

The street railway strike at San
Francisco has developed into a fight
TO a finish. Neither side is willing to
accept arbitration, and the citizens
committee appointed to secure peace
have been unable to find any basis of
settlement 1t has been demonstrated
that the present police force is made
quate and that strong measures will be
necessary to secure a general resump-
ton of service if the struggle is con-
Quoted on present lines.
The wish Friday of the United Rail-
roads officials was to run a string of
cars from the barn at Oak and Brod-
erick streets through the burned dis
trict north on Market street to the
ferry building, but the consent of the
police department could not be OBJ
tanned. AS a compromise two cars
were run into the burned district as
far as Larkin street, being operated on
Oak Stanton, Page, Devisadero and
Sutter streets This route was covered
twice. On the first trip mounted po-
lice acted as outriders, and more than
a score of patrolmen rode in automo-
biieS, but no violence was offered by
the crowds

KING ALFONSO is A FATHER.
Boy is Born to Queen Victoria Fri.
daY Afternoon

Queen Victoria, of Spain, gave birth
TO a boy Friday. The boy will be
named Alfonso.
The news from she palace early Fri
day morning that the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of the queen was imminent spread like
wildfre, and crowds fiocked to the
great plaza fronting the royal palace.
The birth occurred at 12:45 p. m.
The announcement was Immediately
conveyed to the waiting officials and
the crowds outside the palace, who re-
ceived the glad tidings with mingled
feelings of enthusiasm and emotion.
That the queen had been blessed with
a son-a male heir to the throne
was no less welcome than the happy
event itself.
Queen Victoria was married to King
Alfonso May 81, 1906, amid scenes of
the greatest splendor, followed by a
bomb explosion which killed scores of
people and narrowly missed the royal
coach in which their majesties Were

SLAYER OF JARMER IN JAIL.
Nebraska Farmer Surrenders to an
Officer

Nebraska Farmer Surrcnders to an
Officer.
Slightly wounded in two places and
claiming to have been drugged and
robbed, Herman Boche, after sleeping
out in the woods around his farm for
a week, near Norfolk, during which
time fruitleSs search had been made
for him, sent for an officer and gave
himself up to face the charge of muir
dering Frank farmer, a safOonkeeper,
a week ago Bocne shows the effects
of his week of mental suffering and
physical endurance through the Bit
erly cold nights. He received a slight
but painful wound in the right hip
and a glaze on the left knee when
when Sheriff Clements fred four
bullets at him week ago. BOche says
he had $3.50 when farmer coaXed him
against his Will to visit the resort
where he shot farmer He says Jar
mer urged him, against his protest, to
drink two glasses of whisky before
starting, and that his head began to
swim Immediately. While in the hack
he says farmer felt of his pocket un-
til he had to rebuke the saloonkeeper.
sat down beside him and grabbed at
the pocket in which was his purse. He
says that when he left the house with
farmer he felt for his purse and it
was gone. Then he wanted to go
home. With an oath farmer declared
he could not go home, Boche says,
and then he remembered reaching for
his gun and shooting. He did not
know he had killed farmer until Mon
day, when he found his son at
neighbor's farm. He says he knew
nothing after the shooting until that
night, when he awoke in a hogpen
near the scene of the tragedy. He
hurried home, where he heard a man
call Haiti Not knowing what this
meant, nor that it was the sheriff, he
ran and was wounded in flight
He went home and asked that an
officer come and get him. Constable
Conley was summoned Boche looks
like man insane. He has retained
former United States Senator Allen
who cleared him of the murder of
George Ives eighteen years ago. He
says farmer had been trying to bor-
row money from him with which to
pay saloon license fees. He says he
told farmer he had too much money
to venture into the resort with.
Boche was taken to the county jail
at Madison, the authorities fearing
there might be undue excitement if he
were taken to Norfolk.

BoCHE MAY BE DROWNED.
Wife of Fugitive Thinks He jumped
into Rayou When Shot.

The sheriffs and officers of two
counties have apparently reached the
end of their resources in hunting Her
man Boche, slayer of Frank farmer,
at Norfolk, and the man hunt was
temporarily abandoned. Sheriff Stuck
er returned to Stanton and Sheriff
Clements to Madison, believing Boche
either to be concealed at the home of
some relative or to have left the
country
The neighborhood of his farm for
miles has been examined repeatedly,
with no new clew. Mrs. Boche be-
ueves her husband is drowned. She
thinks he was wounded by Sheriff
Clements Wednesday night and jump
ed into the bayou. A splash heard
by her and the officers convinces her
