An Australian travelling in Japan fell
into mixed company In which were
an English girl and an American wo-
man. He made himself agreeable to
the American at the start, she relates

the Heart of JAPAN" by remembering
that Americans are accustomed to ride
over Niagara falls in tubs Then he

1.-THE whole thing was" be sAid, that
the colonies refused to send England
troops to aid her in a foreign war, 50
the motherland resolved to subdue her

II guess you have confused 1t with
the war in Africa said the American.
1.-THE Boer war has been so long drawn
out you thought it was the same as the
American Revolution"
The little English girl saw there was
a misunderstanding somewhere.
seThere was something about stamps

Something about stamps cause a

do you mean stampede or merely
postage stamps? Did the rage for col

But no one enlightened him on this,
and he was left to assert history to
suit himself.

The Camel.

Although long a captive. and for
ages perhaps. the most serviceable of
all the creatures which man has won
from the wiids, the camel is still only
partly domesticated, having never ac-
quired even the small measure of af-
lection for his master which we find
In the other herbivorous animals
which have been won to the service
Of man. The obedience which he rem
ders Is but dull submission to in
evitable toll. The intelligence which
be shows is very limited, and so far
as can be judged from the accounts Of
those who have observed him there is
but little variation In his mental quail
tiles. AS a whole, the creature ap-
pears to be innately the dullest and
least improbable of all our servitors.-

NATIONAL GUARD
READY FOR CALL
WILL BE GIVEN BUT A HALF
HOURS NOTICE
If Trouble in San Francisco Reaches
Big Proportions, Los Angeles
Soldiers Must Help Pre-
serve Peace

Members of the California National
guard stationed in Los Angeles and
surrounding towns are under orders to
report for duty at a half hours notice,
prepared to go to San Francisco in case
it should be found necessary to call
in armed men to stop strife.
All yesterday the corporals, acting
under orders from the company COM
manders, were engaged visiting and
calling up the privates of the regiment
and giving them instructions in regard
to reporting for duty. 1t Is expected
that if orders for the guards to go
north come, within thirty minutes
every man will be in the quarters and
ten minutes later will be In full march,
ing order prepared to leave for the
station.
The Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany was notified of the expected or
ders yesterday and sent word that a
special train would be held in readiness
to carry the citizen soldiers to the
northern city.
General Robert Wankowski COM
mander of the First brigade, N. G. c.,
left Los Angeles yesterday for Sacra-
mento, where he will consult with Ad-
jutant General J. B. Lauck of the Ma
tional guard in regard to the advisa-
bility of taking troops north and the
best methods of placing them after
their arrival in that city.
In case troops are sent north they
will be modified in Los Angeles, the
companies located in nearby towns
coming here by street cars.
Eight Hundred in Los Angeles
In case the call comes it is thought
probable the entire First brigade will
be called upon to answer. There are
about 800 men enlisted in the National
guard in Los Angeles, while there, Is
about twice that number in the sur
rounding towns.
The First brigade is armed with
Krag-Jorgensen rifles and has been a
organization at the close of the Span
ish- American war.
1.-THE First brigade N. G. c., is un-
der arms and ready to respond to a
call at any moment" said Governor
Gillett when seen last night. 81 do not
believe it will be necessary to call the
troops out, however, but If I find 1t is
I will not hesitate to order the men to
San Francisco at once. 1t is our duty
to prevent rioting and protect life and
the peace and with this thought in mind
1 will send the. men to the north when
ever am notified by the adjutant gen.
eral that they are needed.
at did not expect there would be any
rioting for several days and have re-
ceived information that the striker:
were not to blame for the fighting
which has occurred. I have been in
formed that it was sympathizers of the
| strikers and feel confident that they
now realize that they have done grea
wrong and that lives have been take1

AUTOGRAPHS COME
Two Former Presidents of the United
States Represented in Valuable
Collection of Manu-
scripts

Out of the several hundred interesting
autographs already secured by the public
library-sketches in water color and pen
by prominent men of letters and affairs
the most interesting contribution has just
been received.
Charles Francis Adams, the famous
writer and lawyer of Boston and presi-
dent of the Union Pacific railroad from
1884 to 1890, in sending his own autograph
page adds posthumous contributions from
his father, grandfather and greatgrand-

der-in-chief of the American army. He
was one of the signers of the Declaration
of independence and was commissioner to
Paris in 1778 He negotiated the treaties
with the Netherlands with Great Britain
and with Prussia, and later was minister
to London.
John Quincy Adams son of John Ad
ans, was the sixth president of the
United States. He was United States
minister to the Netherlands and to Prus-
sia; United States senator from Massa-
chusetts from 1903 to 1908; United States
minister to Russia; one of the negotiators
of the treaty of Ghent; United States min
lister to England; secretary Of state, and
so on. His contribution to this archive Is
an autograph signed letter to his brother,
Thomas B, Adams, from London, May
Is, 1896.
The third generation is represented by
the signature of Charles Francis Adams,
first to a.check in 1851. He was the son of
John Quincy Adams and the Free Soil
candidate for vice president in 184S; a
member of congress from Massachusetts,,
1859 to 1861; United States minister to
England, 1861 to 1868; United States arr

LITTLE LAD WANDERS
AWAY; FOUND BY POLICE

With a bright smile on his dirty little
face, Cecil, the 2-year-old son of F. Griffin
of 1S41 Sacramento street, was released
from the matron's department in the city
jail, where he had been seven hours, while
his anxious parents were searching every
part of the city for him.
The boy was missed by his father early
in the morning, and at first no alarm. was
felt, as 1t wasAthought he could not have
wandered far. AS time went by and the
child was still missing it was decided to
find out where he was.
A search about the premises failed to
result successfully, and finally his now
worried parents concluded the little fellow
had wandered away.
And with this the long hours of anxiety
began. No trace of little Cecil could be
found in the neighborhood, and his frantic
mother and father wandered about the
streets looking for the child. but as the
long search went on not a person could be
found who had seen him.
Late in the afternoon some one sug-
gested that they telephone to the police
station and find out il the missing child
had been taken there. A reply that the
boy was there and had been amusing him
self by playing about the cells was at once
given and the anxious parents hurried to
the station to get the little chap.
