hand he held his faithful old saw-tooth
razor, the shining blade flashing in the
light like the shining white teeth OF
Bob, who had a smile on is face as
broad as all outdoors
The brakeman stuck his leg down in
an effort to reach the next lower step
and Bob had him. Drawing the old
blade gently across the brakeman's leg
he quietly told him to say his prayers.
The brakeman, upon looking down ana
seeing the predicament that he had
fallen into, let yell out of him like
coyote in a death struggle with bear
Then he began to beg He implored
Robert to let him go free, but Bob just
laughed at him and told him the cary
ing was about to begin.
l really believe he would have sawed
the leg off of that shack if 1 had not
been there to caution him to not run
chances of getting into prison. The
brakeman finally agreed to haul us AS
far as his train went if we would only
let him off. Bob let him GO but it was
a temptation to him to take one little
rip at him anyway as he scuttled up
the ladder AS the brakeman disap-
peared over the car he looked back and
swore at us.
One time in San Francisco things had
been going from bad to worse with us
until it was down to the last ditch ap-
parently. Bobbie then showed his true
worth by getting out In the suburbs
and hustling. He went from house to
house telling the sympathetic women
that he had a letter to send to his
mother and that he could not buy a
stamp to send 1t. In an hour he got
fifty stamps, which we traded for
canned goods al a corner grocery
Hobo Bob, the barber, was certainly
a wonder.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t ts In
Preserving Health and Beauty
Costs Nothing to Try 1t

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfec-
tant and purifier in nature, but few real
ize its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purposes
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better; it is not drug at
all. but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis
infects the mouth ana throat from the
poison OF catarrh
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are
composed OF the finest powdered Willow
charcoal and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form, Or rather, In the form of
large pleasant tasting lozenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will soon
tell In a much improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty
of 1t is that no possible harm can result
from their continued use, but, on the
contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician. in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal. says: IT advise Stu
arts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas In stomach and bowels.
and to clear the complexion and purify
the breath. mouth and throat; / also be-
lieve the liver is greatly benefited by the
daily use of them; they cost but twenty

was about ready to leave the fields

for we had no sooner struck the road

he was going.

The little fellow replied that he was

men are still waiting for their lunch.

NATION HAS EYE
ON LOS ANGELES
CHINESE EXCLUSION ATTITUDE
HERE OF WIDE INTEREST
Well Known Attorney in Receipt of
Letters Revealing Satisfaction
Felt in Stand Taken by
Mass Meeting

According to advises received in Los
Angeles by Attorney f. S. wager the
United States Is watching with interest
the attitude which Los Angeles recent
~ took, through a large public meeting,
on the Chirese exclusion laws.
1.-THE letters l have received said Col.
Yager. 'are a sort Of aftermath to that
great meeting in the Auditorium on De-
cember o. It was nter-denomina tional,
and showed the attitude of the churches
on this much-mooted subject.
1--WE petitioned congress for modif1ca-
tions Of and amendments to, the present
Chinese exclusion law, and even from
Washington, d. c.. 1 have received word
from 1t
''Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts writes to me in
part: 4 am very glad the people of CAL
ifornia are making some effort to let the
world know that all Californians have not
forgotten everything blu. gold. That's
tust what will count here in Washington
more than all else-a sentiment In favor
of n bill in congress that will make i'm
migration restrictions apply impartially
to all races.
What Should Be Known
1--WE need first to let congressman
know that only a small minority OF the
country at large favors the present ex~
c.usion laws, and that IL California
large number or neople. incluulnB COM
mercial leaders regard the Chinese as
valuable employees and an inoffenslve
people,
1.-THE secretary of the Inter Equity
league wrote me after seeing an account
of our meeting in San Francisco pa
per that the California fruit growers in
their state convention had sent memori-
al to congress asking Ior a modification
of the present exclusion laws, and asking
that the Chinese be not deported, as they
were needed so badly by fruit growers"
Col. Yager has received leading religious
papers published in Georgia, Kentucky,
Missouri, Tennessee. Virginia. Maryland
and oregon commenting on the Los An
geles mass meeting.
Copies of the resolutions of the meeting
asking for modincatIons in the exclusion
laws. were sent to Congressman James
McLachlan and Senator Flint of Califor-
mia, at Washington.
