Queen Sophia and Bismarck.

Queen Sophia of the Netherlands, the first wife of King William III. of HoI- land, was too great friend of Elm peror Napoleon III, the Empress Flu genie and of France generally to take kindly to Bismarck. Before the big war of 1870 and probably some time after the Luxembourg squabble there was an international exhibition in Am sterdam. which the queen visited. She was conducted over the whole place by the committee, and as they came to certain section one of the members said, "Now your majesty will see the greatest enemy of Germany" "Ah, Bismarck" she cried, with some glee, The members stood aghast and never repeated this rash exclamation. The ] "greatest enemy" he had to exhibit was not, of course, Bismarck at all, but only very much enlarged repro duction of either the phylloXera or the Colorado beetle, which at that time did great deal of harm to German agrl- culture.-V' estminster Gazette.

The "PuI" srI the Jcb,

Business men are constantly being peStered Gy young men who seek posi- tionS through letters of recommenda- tior, often in the form of personal re- quests from fellow business men. One may well question whether these let ters have any great pulling power after all. The Saturday Evening Post tells of such an instance. After being very politely dismissed hy several managers with the stpreotyped eNpreS- sion that there was not a vacancy at present, the young man tore up the let ters and went back to the place last visited
 What can I do for you noW:' the manager asked in an annoyed tone.
 Pardon me" said the young man. ''but I've just torn up those letters. Could you give me a job on my own hook:'
 The manager looked amused and said: We need young fellow to chip castings in the machine shop at S6 . week If you like, you can have that until something better turns up.
 "Yes, sir replied the job hunter "I'm ready now" .4x,,

Placinq the Responsibility.

For six months or more the drug- gist's assistant had occupied his leisure moments by writing verses for the vil- lage paper, in the poets corner or which publication they appeared anony- mously every Thursday. says the Youths Companion. On opening his copy of the Weekly Bugle one morning, and, turning first, as was his regular habit, to that particular corner, he was surprised and gratified beyond meas ure to see his name ill full appended to his latest poetical outbreak.
 He hastened to call at the office of the Bugle.
 '.AIr. Stires,'' he said to the editor, Il want to thank you for signing my name to my poem in this weeks paper. It encourages a fellow when he gets proper credit for his work.'
 "Oh, that's all right, Jobson," re- sponded the editor. We thought was about time to place the responsl- bility for that poetry where it be longed"

Of course it is tenderer, but would you want your steak or your chop spoiled in order that it might be little softer to the teeth? No, never!

SACRAMENT GIVEN
TO 81 CHILDREN
Rev. Juan cabaIIeria breaches Ser
mon to Little Ones on Duties
of Parents and
Children

First communion was observed at the
Plaza church yesterday morning with
elaborate services when eighty-two
children received the sacrament. Last
night the children were presented MEM
orial cards and Rev. j. Caballeria, the
pastor, preached the sermon on THE
Duties OF Parents and Children" He
said in part:
zone of the most noble functions of
womanhood is the service of home
and the work of the home. A house
wife has the holy trust Of the family
while the maid has a sacred duty of
keeping the house and caring for the
famiIys comfort. Today the general
complaint Is that there is misunder-
standing of the mutual duties in the
family.
1--WE have pity for the young girl of
sixteen to twenty years old when her
position is in some overcrowded home,
when her desire is to call attention; her
talk is fruitless, when her desire is to
be beautiful: when her ambition is to
dress in silks and fine feathers and
when her aspiration is in amusenents
and a good time This girl is generally
a disappointment as helper in the
home and as her ideas are above possi-
bilities, her marriage is generally a
failure.
'The domestic helper is away from
many temptations and is protected on
account of her duties; she is secure in
the family circle while she learns the
duties of the home and the vocation of
a true Christian wife.
''The best test of a Christian wife is
her ability to keep her help and to
labor together for long years. There
are duties on both sides. One must be
careful of the rights of the other"

IS PUT
ON THE MEDIUMS
Over Seven Cut of Over a Hundred
Have Paid Their License Fee.
Collectors Will Take Inn
mediate Steps

Seven mediums and fortune tellers
have come to the front and paid $50,
their new monthly license, to Tax Col
lector Johnson.
The license Office looks for 5000 re-
turns Immediately and will then send
out deputies to rund up the rest who
under the law must pay licenses. For
months they have been lodging pay
ment of the old license, which was only
SIS.
Because of the added work entailed
by Fiesta week Collector Johnson may
give the spooksters few days grace,
but he expects every one who is prac-
ticing his profession to hand over the
needful.
"As this is a new law which doubles
the license we have been a bit lienient
so far" said Collector Johnson yester-
day, "but this must not be misinter-
preted as inviting delay in payments.
1.-THE collection of saloon licenses,
which nets us many thousands, keeps
the force busy the first few days each
month. Immediately thereafter we will
go after the mediums and fortune tell
ers. The city needs the money and it
is our business to get it.
MANY Of the mediums am told are
going to the beaches to evade the tax
and others will say they teach and
preach but do not practice fortune tell
ing. Others claim they take up silver
at the door and ask no fees.
I'VE shall enforce the law and those
who seek to evade 1t will be quickly
brought to book"

FEAR MEN PLANNED
TO PICK POCKETS
Police Gather in Two Suspects, Who
Are Believed to Be Members
of Gang of Clever
Thieves

w. H. MCGEE and John Buchnan, said
by the police to be members of a gang
of pickpockets and daring thieves
which has operated in every large city
ia the country under the leadership of
famous crook, were arrested by local
officers yesterday and are lodged at the
police station on suspicion.
MCGEE was picked up by Patrolman
Shy on Central avenue, and about an
hour later Buchnan was found on Also
street by Patrolman Mellon. When
taken to the police station the men were
recognized by descriptions which had
been sent to the department by eastern
police, and eastern officers who are Wis
iting in the city were notified and asked
to come to the station and identify the
prisoners.
When questioned both men refused to
admit that they had come to Los An
geles for the purpose Of picking up easy
money, but said they were simply hero
to attend the Fiesta. So far as could
be learned they arrived several days
ago and have not pulled off any jobs.
If this is found to be the case no COM
plaint will be lodged against them, but
they will be held at the station until
after Fiesta, when they will be turned
loose and warned to leave Los Angeles.
The police are confident the men have
laid plans to commit some daring rob-
berries, and it is thought other members
of the same gang may be here.

MEXICAN WITH KNIFE
STARTS ROUGH HOUSE

Antonio Cordova attended a Mexican
picnic yesterday in a big blue gum
grove at Fifty-second and Alameda
streets. AS a mere matter of habit
Antonio carried his full picnic equip
ments, which consisted of bottle Of
mescal, nice sharp-pointed knife and
40-caliber revolver of the mountain
howitzer pattern.
Late in the afternoon. when the fun
was waxing hot and furious and the
mescal was all gone, Antonio thought
he needed the balance Of the equip
|ment and he proceeded to draw knife
and revolver and mix up in a fuss
which had started on the dance floor.
About thirty Mexicans were engaged
in the fight when the police arrived.
Cordova was the only one arrested.

Forehead Cut and Hand
Is Broken

George H. Stratton, superintendent of
the commissary department Of the
Santa Fe railroad, met with a serious

Auditor Mushet's Proposed Law Makes
improper Use of Requisitions
by Officials Misde-
meanor

City Attorney Leslie Hewitt, though
a Shriner, was obliged to work all day
Sunday at the city hall on the ordinance
to be introduced in the city council to-
day regulating the purchase Of supplies
for the city and making misuse of re-
uuisitions a misdemeanor.
This is the final card In stopping the
practices in vogue in Los Angeles for
years by which thousands Of dollars
were annually squandered in purchas-
ing supplies by wholesale at retail
prices.
City Auditor Mushet, and the supply
committee, headed by Chairman Wren,
found it difficult to enforce the rule
about making out acquisitions before
supplies are purchased rather than
after, and have determined that an or
dinance alone will stop the custom.
1--WE are pioneering in this requisition
law" said Counsellor Hewitt IT do not
believe any other city has such an or
dinance.

deserving of special veneration.
"Particularly should we venerate

The bishop explained the mystery of
the incarnation as giving to the virgin
a place in the redemption.
Bishop Conaty referred to the week
of Fiesta and said that the Fiesta of
flowers should not only fill the people
with joy, pride and hospitality, but
also with gratitude to God who so
fayors the people with abundance of
fruits, flowers and prosperity.

flowers give forth their fragrance as
welcome" said the bishop, ''to our
visiting friends let us act as the intelli-
gent will of all that God has for his
