around the edges in rash of white but

case of peppermints that rested on the butt
and which were plainly his stock in trade.
He was such a very curious brown man
that clerk who had crossed over from
the treasury remarked to his companion:

curious brown man scooped six white disks
from the case, shuffled them into a bit of
paper. extended them to his customer and
took the nickel-without saying a word.

watch.

There is an automobile owner in this

The automobile is all that could be ex-

The troubles are furnished by the women

greatest triumph came a few months after
the disaster, when at banquet given by
the business men of San Francisco in a
temporary structure in Union Square he
mac a speech which was a declarat ion of
Independence and an announcement that
he had virtually broken with his old b SIS
and his old affiliations.
Then came the change. Order was be-

Abe Ruef again asserted itself. The charges
OF graft were renewed The same citizens
who had stood shoulder to shoulder with
Schmitz during the dark days or disaster
took steps against him. William ]. Burns,
the United States secret service detective
who secured most of the evidence which re-
suited in the indictment and conviction of
the western land grabbers, was induced to
obtain leave of absence and go to San Fran
cisco to get evidence of municipal grating.
Schmitz and Ruef Were Indicted.
The indictment of Mayor Schmitz and Abe
Ruef followed, and the mayor, who was in
Europe, fastened home. Both were released
on bail. Today here is Schmitz again in
the front ranks as a leader of his people.
In the days of the San Francisco disaster

Ice in the River.

The cold weather of Thursday and Friday
night caused ice to form on the river each
night, that of Friday night being about an
inch in thickness and covering the river
from shore to shore. 1t was soon broken
up by the wheels of the passing tugs and
steamboats,. and yesterday evening it was
drifting up and down with the tides but
offered no obstruction to the passing OF
vessels, although 1t covered the river COM
pletely. If the weather men in the big
house on oath street know what they are
talking about. and there is a heavy fall
of snow early this morning or today, 1t is
probable that 1t will freeze on the surface
of the river, and If the fall is heavy one
will give the steamboats, trouble, while it
will entirely stop the movements of sailing
vessels. The season is so well advanced
however that should freeze occur the
rivermen do not believe it will be of more
than two or three days duration.

Dead Steer Drown. a Farm.-

Thrown from the track by the en-.
gine Of fast freight train, the body
Of a steer struck r. ]. Goodwin of
Middleboro, KY, who was on a horse
close by, and knocked him and the
horse into the waters Of Cannon Creek.
Goodwin and the horse both were
drowned.
Goodwin was driving several head of
cattle to his farm near Four Mile. As
he reached the railroad crossing near
Ferndale the train approached at a
rapid rate of speed. The cattle were
on the track and the train plowed its
way through the bunch. Mr.. Goodwin
was not on the track and seemed to be
out Of harms way.
The heavy engine picked up one of
the steers. however, and threw It high
into the air. 1t fell against the horse
on which Mr.. Goodwin was riding and
both were thrown over a high embank-
ment into the creek, which was swollen
from rain.

academy In 1923. 1t was boy 8 years

Two Hundred Species of Roses.

There are 200 species of roses in ex-
istence, though perhaps not more than
ntty clearly defined families. OF these
families only two are of American
birth. There are thousands Of varie.
ties, however, and of these our enter
prising rose growers have contributed
by far the largest proportion. The
eagerly sought black rose ls still un-
produced, though New York florist
has dark-red one which in some
lights has the appearance Of black vel
vet.
