taken from his side that she might be
his equal; from under his arm that he
might protect her; from near his
heart that he might cherish and love
her."

HORSE SHOWS SUCCESS

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-"Shust kom

Leopold Schrader, rushing into the CEN
trail police station.
Sergeant Tate went and saw a fine
built cart horse dappled gray on one
side and vivid purple on the other.
Mature faker," he exclaimed. Don't
you know the president has forbidden
that sort of thing"
Good" shouted Schrader. Unto

dent will have put. Come"
Tate went and found DIR. Marion M
Dorset, chemist of the agricultural de-
partment, who will invent an ink at once
indelible and harmless for stamping
government inspected meat products. A
tub of discarded SAMPLES had been
poured into B street gutter by labo-
ratory workman and Schraders horse
rolled in it while the master was bringT
ing prospective purchaser to look at
the animal, but the prospective pur-
chaser fled from the purple horse to the
nearest bar.
The law officer of the agricultural
department to whom Schrader and
Tate were referred bv Mr. Dorset, ad-
vised a wait to see if the dye wore off.
Apparently, however DIR. Dorset has
half succeeded in his task. The ink
shows every evidence of being indeli-

the near future, if the city trustees take
kindly to the plan as now discussed by
officials of the chamber of commerce
and other leading business men of the
town.
The auditorium is recognized as a
first class place or concerts, but the
men who have looked into the new
proposition believe that such an assem-
bly, ground would be great attraction
and would furnish the best kind of ac-
commodation for many gatherings, in
Guiding the annual Chautauqua.
AS planned, the cottages and tent
houses in the assembly grounds would
be rented out for enough to pay for the
maintenance of the grounds. A care
taker would be employed to look after
the premises. An ornamental fence would
enclose the grounds so that admittance
could be secured only at the gate.

HUNTINGTON RECONSIDERS
ATTITUDE TO PASADENA
Conference Between Mayor and Rail-
roader Leads to Amicabe Under
standing-WilI Continue with
Proposed Route
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Aug. 2.-Pasadenans are
breathing easier tonight and are again
full of hope for the future. All because
Mayor Farley has had a conference with
the railway magnate, Henry E. Hunting
ton, and came away with the assurance
that Huntington is now apparently sat
iefied with the assessment of his prop
critics in Pasadena. He will go ahead
with proposed improvements, passing
upon each one on its merits, and will
not blacklist the town on account of
increase in assessed valuations.
An extract from the letter made public
by Mayor Farley today, explaining his
part in the confirmation of the assess
ment and in the explanations to Hunt
ington, reads:
''There are almost always two sides o.
a case to look at. E. G.. Wood presented
his side of the case from the Pacific
Electric railway in such an able and gen
tlemanly manner and asked for reduc
ton of SIZE, ,695, that l know we all fel
like granting the request on account o.
our friendly feeling for Mr.. Huntington
and the able and kindly way his case was
presented by Mr.. Wood.
Now let us look at the city's side ot
the case and view the matter from oul
standpoint We found that in 1906 there
was an error in Mr.. Huntington's assess
ment of s130.S0O, which escaped taxation
last year and that we had right tc
correct that error, which Mr.. Wood, rep
resenting Mr.. Huntington's interest, does
not question, and Mr.. Huntington also
stated that he wanted to pay his just
portion of the taxes. and the s13O,SOO which
ne did not know anything about put an
entirely different phase on the matter and
he was perfectly satisfied with my ex-
PLANTATION of the case and that the board
of equalization tried to treat him in a
fair and square manner"

sidered again for two weeks. Those who

franchise is amended so as to show that
the corporation valves it's claims for
damages in case it's line is crossed by
those of other companies the application

TO KEEP VOICES OF
WORLDS NOTABLE MEN
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Movement
is on foot to install at the congressional
library a department of Photographic
records containing the utterances of
statesmen and other distinguished men
from all parts of the world. The idea
started with a gift of Photographic
record of an address delivered by Kaiser
Wilhelm. An attempt will be made to
have the leading men of the country
talk into the photograph, and records
thus made will be sent to the library.
The Smithsonian Institution has some
most interesting records of Indian dia-
lects, and the authorities propose to fol-
low the example of the French and Aus
tralian governments to preserve famous
voices of the stage, as well as of the
forum. No doubt the first record to be
made for the congressional library will
be the voice of President Roosevelt, to
be followed by records uttered by men,
bers of his cabinet, the vice president,
the speaker and members of the senate
and house.
