A Theatrical superstition.

They were rehearsing new play,
and every one was nervous, for the
first night was close at hand The play
was a tragedy, yet at its end thesdying
heroine, as the curtain descended, said:
Three beers. please"
Those words concluded the play. Yet
they were entirely out Of keeping The
concluding words should have been, IT
die. but, since / have saved you, die
happy" or something to that effect
A dramatic critic new to the business
asked how it was that the tragedy end
ed with Three beers, please" and the
stage manager said:
Superstition. 1t is always thought
bad luck in rehearsals of new plays to
speak the last sentence before the open
ing night. He who has the last sem
tence to speak substitutes some mean
ingless phrase for it. If he dared to
speak the true phrase the prospects Of
the play would be thought doomed
Some playwrights won't even write the
last line of a play. They whisper it to
the assembled company on it's first
reading, and from that day till the
actual production the line is never
again heard" - New Orleans Times.

The Scotch Sabbath.

An English artist, travelling profes.
sionally through Scotland, had occa-
sion to remain over Sunday in small
town in the north. To while away the
time he walked out short way in the
environs, where the picturesque ruin
Of a castle met his eye. He asked a
countryman who was passing to be
so good as to tell him the name of the
castle. The reply was somewhat start
ling. Its no. the day to be asking sic
thingsr'
Another good story of Scottish OBJ
servance OF the Sabbath is told by a
clergyman. "a minister of the kirk
declared in public that at country
hotel he wished the window raised
so that he might get some fresh air,
but the landlady would not allow it,
saying, 'Ye can haze no fresh air here
@l the Sawbeth.'"

The Worst Of Education

When the new and the old school
meet, there is likely to be q clash of
opinions, and SO the miller, Brown,
found the other day when Farmer
Jackson sent his young son across to
the mill with q sack of corn which he
wished ground into meal. Like the
miller, the mill was of the old, leisure
ly school, and only tiny stream Of
meal trickled out The young man
waxed impatient.
"What a mill"' he said, with scorn.
"Why, l could eat the meal quicker
than this ramshackle old concern of
yours can grind itv'
aye said Miller Brown, "but how
long couldst keep it up, lad?"
'"Till ! starvedw was the trenchant
answer.
And when Miller Brown had puzzled
out the inwardness Of the remark he
concluded that lads nowadays were
"gettin' a power too sharp wi their
tongues. "-London Express.

The wool clip in this section is moving
up quite slowly this season. The farmer
holding his crop for the high price of
last season and the dull market pre-
cludes much changing. The average
price paid at this point still holds at n
cents for best grades and down to 20 for
inferior lots. From all over the wool
markets of the country low prices seem
to be the rule. The local buyers here
are giving all that the market affords,
and many are receiving the top price,
but it is of best grades.

The latest survey for the long talked

Rivers That Flow Backward.


Near Argostoli, town on one Of the
Greek islands, four little torrents Of
sea water, rolling on an average fifty
five gallons a second, penetrate into
the assures of the cliffs, flow rapidly
inland and finally gradually disappear
into. the crevices Of the soil. Two Of
these water courses are sufficiently
powerful to turn all the year round the
wheels of two mills constructed by
an enterprising Englishman. This
seems at first sight absurd on the face
of it, but it is quite easily explained.
The hills of the island are of soft, cal
careous rock full of assures, and suck
up water like immense sponges. In
consequence the pools in their subter-
ranean caverns are always lower than
the surrounding sea, so to restore the
balance these little brooks, fed by the
waves, are always descending inland.
The curious yet natural result of the
constant evaporation of the sea water
is that gigantic masses of salt crystals
are constantly forming in the caves

ALONG OWENS RIGHT OF WAY
Has No Further Use for Herds Near
>PaImdaIe and Board Of Public
Works Finds Ready
Buyer

The city has marketed few cattle In
the Owens aqueduct right of way.
President James A. Anderson of the
board of public works said to the city
council yesterday
"In accordance with the provisions OF
ordinance No. 1901 new series), author
izing this board to sell such personal
property under it's control as shall not be
longer necessary or suitable for the use
of this board, such sale to be subject to
the approval of your honorable body, we
respectfully report that we have nego-
tiated with D. S. Linebarger for the sale
of fifty-six head of mixed cattle on what
is known as the Wolf property, near
Palmdale, which property is now owned
by the city; also ten calves, abcSit or
months old, and five calves about 6
weeks old, all for the price of s125O.
1--WE respectfully request your honor
able body to confirm the sale of the cat
tie at that price"
There was a bit of humorous debate
over the proposition and then the coun-
ell confirmed the sale.
Green feed is getting scarce near Palm
dale, and as the city has no desire to
maintain herds on it's lands the sale was
deemed expedient.

M.ARTINDALE WILL
START NEW STORE
WILL HAVE ELEGANT SMOKE
HOUSE ON HILL STREET
New Establishment VIII Be Fitted In
Handsome Style and Wholesale
Department VIII Be
Carried

| l.. Martindale, one of the most popular
cigar dealers of Los Angeles. and well
known to all the frequenters of the
Hammam baths on Broadway between
Second and Third streets. will open an
other establishment this morning at the
corner of Fifth and Hill streets that
will rival in sumptuousness of smoke
retreats any of it's kind in the city.
Mr.. Martindale has enjoyed the ac-
quaintance of nearly every smoker of
good cigars ever since he entered into
the business of selling the fragrant weed
in this city many years ago.
From a little stand with barely enough
of selling stock his business has grown
until it is the largest of it's kind on
Broadway and rivals in completeness of
detail any cigar store in Los Angeles.
But Mr.. Martindale is not satisfied with
this 1.-THE town is growing every day."
says he, land all businesses are making
la mad rush toward the southern portion
of the city. I'm not going to be left.
Eill street, which is becoming more and
more one of the principal thoroughfares
of the city, is in need of a first class
cigar establishment, and in compliance
with the earnest request of my many
well-wishing friends am going to meet
that necessity.
Lack Good Store
"There are many small stores on Hill
street selling smokes, but there is an
appreciable lack of good cigar store
Many business men who frequent the
baths here, and any number of politi-
clans have suggested the thought to me
time and again. So l know I am making
a happy DEAL"
The new store will be from point of
view of size and equipment possibly the
largest in the city. Located as 1t is at
one of the principal corners of the BUSH
ness section of the city, no more favor
able location could be desired.
Mr. Martindale intends carrying a
wholesale stock of tobacco together with
all the 5paraphernalia of the business.
But this will be closed from view. The
main. portion of the store will be fitted
up like an exclusive parlor where devo-
tees of the weed may smoke as undis-
turbed as though in the sanctity of their
own den.
When Mr. Martindale speaks of his
new establishment as being thoroughly
fitted up" he calls the attention of his
friends to the thoroughly fitted up"
counter in front of the Hammam baths
recognized by those who know as first
class throughout.
Mr.. Martindale has put his son in
charge of the new establishment while
he himself will control the management
of the counter in front of the baths.
