San Franchises IA. War.

The raid on rats at this time is not
the first of the kind in San Francisco.
In 1852, when the sidewalks In Kearny
and Montgomery streets we've as un-
even as the existing walks In Mar
ket street east Of Front, and were
made up of dry goods boxes laid in
the mud end to end, some high and
some low, the town was overrun with
rats Of all colors-gray, white, brown
and black. At night they would
crawl out of their holes and run along
the uneven walks. They were so thick
on the streets during the spring of the
year named that women were afraid
to go out after nightfan, and the
men who ventured forth on the poor
ly lighted streets often stepped on a
dozen rodents In walking the distance
OF block. It was no uncommon thing
to see men with crooked canes on the
sidewalk playing shinney, the rats be-
ing used In place Of knurs. In that
way many were killed

MAN THAT WOMEN LIKE BEST.
Writer Asserts That There Can Be No
Special Brand.

In the imagination Of every woman
q creature exists whom she fancies
would be unto her a god If she met
him; in the imagination of every
man there Is woman like nobody
on earth, in heaven above, or in the
waters under the earth But no
woman ever shows favor to any par
ticular type of man. If woman really
liked this or that specimen of mascu-
line humanity above all others, should
we ever see the strangely assorted
marriages that we do? Individually
all women have their ideals, but speak
ing generally, there is no special
brand OF man that can be said to ap-
peal to woman. 1t is sheer nonsense
to say definitely that athletes, or
courtiers, or tame cats, or dreamers
are respectively most pleasing to
women. But even If it could be said
with authority this or that kind Of
man Is what every woman likes, is it
to be supposed for a moment that
every male creature would proceed to
model himself on the approved pat,
tern? 1t would be a great pity If such
state OF things could be brought
about. Women do DOT want a stereo-
typed mold for each Of the sexes, and
women would lose grand opportunities
for laughter II all our men were, gal
liant, well-mannered, strong and mas
terful, or were amiable domestic pets.
To be able to poke fun at this or that
type is part of the joke of life-to a
woman.-Chicago American.

How to Be Happv.

The record of happiness in every
life is to be doing what you feel you
can do best, and to have your own
inglenook. To do what you can do
best includes the entire gamut, from
housekeeper to social queen, though
1 should like to turn the gamut up
side down by putting the homemaker
at the top instead of the bottom of
the scale. Your own inglenook you
must have, married or single, If you
would take into your life all the hap
piness it offers. and give out of
your lie all the happiness 1t owes the
community.-Eondon Pail NAH Ga.

All INTEILlGEMT DOG.

EndowA N.s,, Power to Reason.

\ gentleman connected with the
Newfoundland fisheries possessed a
dog remarkable for his fidelity and
sasacity. On one occasion a boat and
crew in his employ We're Ii circu,n-
stances of considerable peril Just out
side line OF breakers which. owing
to some change in the wind or wealth
er, had since the departure of the boat
rendered the return through them
hazardous. The spectators on shore
were quite unable to render any as
sistance 10 their friends afioat Much
time had been spent, and the danger
seemed TO increase rather than dimin-
iSh
Our friend the dog looked on for a
length of time, evidently aware that
there was great cause for anxiety in
the minds cf those around. Presentlv
however, he took to the water and
made his way through to the boat
The crew supposed he wished to ioin
them and made various attempts to in
duce him to come on board But, no,
l>e would not go within their reach
and continued swimming about short
distance away. After the crew had
made several comments on the pc
culiar conduct of the dog one of the
hands suddenly suspected his apparent
meaning. "Give him the end of a
rope" he said. That's what he
wants. The rope was thrown. The
dog seized the end in an instant, turn
ed around and made straight for
shore, where a few minutes afterward
boat ana crew, thanks to their four
footed friend, were placed safe and
undamaged-Ph Philadelphia Ledger

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Bags made of checsecloth eight
inches square filled with oatmeal,
some powdered borax, pulverized cas-
tile soap and Il little powdered orris
root and used in the bath are delight
fully refreshing.
Cold water should not be taken dur
ing any meal. This sudden deluge on
the food in the stomach chills it and
prevents the digestive juices from act
ing freely. thus letting the food lie
passive and causing acute indigestion.
Occasionally take the powder puff
and clean it in gasoline, frequently
changing the gasoline to get the puff
the puff gets as badly soiled as towel
or face cloth and should not be used
long without being cleaned.

season shows the hair parted in the
front or Il little at one side as consid-
cred becoming. 1t is puffed at the side

Dlslniefested View.


Herald is an edi-or whose detached
position as to State politics gives
the weight of disinterestedness
to his opinions. He is not identi-
fed with faction and is not one of
those whose interest in State poll
tics is such as to draw him away
from his business at Sabetha TO
pay frequent or occasional visits
to Copeland county. The follow
ing remarks in bis paper Of last
week therefore have all the more
weight:
"A great howl is going up to
the effect that the extra session Of
the legislature was a mistake be-
cause of its cost, that the primary
election law is wrong because its
operation costs more than the old
system. etc. The extra session of
the Legislature was called because
Of the need OF a primary election
law and because of the need of a
guaranty banking law. II the fix
ers had not stabbed the primary
election law too death at the regu-
lar session of the Legislature there
would have been no need OF Q call
of the extra session for that pur-
pose. If the 6xers had not mauled
the bank guarantee laws to death,
a good law would have passed the
extra session. If, to put the elec.
tioD of public servants into the
hands of the voters is expensive.
isn't that better than the present
method under which the demands
of the State are practically ignor-
edl When the bank guaral tee laws
we're butchered in the Senate, the
Senator'S vote by rising vote or
by saying aye or no.. There
fore no one knows how the Sena-
tors stood. Which do you prefer
the old convention method which
makes this kind of a Senator pos.
sible or do you prefer voting for
the nominee yourselfl The writ
er OF this nrag aph would rather
spend ten dollars selecting public
officers by the vote of the people
than spend ten cents under the old
system. And speaking Of expense,
we believe that when the State
House is cleaned out. YOU will find
an enormous slump in the cost of
running the State. The Repub-
lican from this district who runs
for State Senator has got to show
the writer of this paragraph: we
have got to know who be is and
what he stands for before he gets
our vote. And il a candidate can't
show US. you bet he doesn't t get a
pleasant smile in the columns of

above sentiments to the average

thought they would get straighted

The plant cost them originally
$4,000 and they have added SIG.

W. A Bolinger, expressing the
views held by his brother Ernest
living at Winfield where owner
ship carried by very large vote,
said it as not successful, and
that the city had put in a plant
costing $50, 900. that the old plant
was still running and furnishing the
consumers for less than the city,
and if a vote was taken now, own
ership would he defeated as hard
as it as victorious to year ago.
Martin Weirauch expressed him
self for ownership. citing the fact
that the city of Lewiston. Ills,
his former home. paid $4,000 for
a plant and in,comparatively n few
years had paid out on the same,
notwithstanding the fact that they
we're paying eight per cent in
terest. and that the water rates
were much lover than here. In
this connection it would have to
be borne in mind that coal for ope-
rating the plant would cost but
trihe there as compared to cost

Jas. W. Clarke thought ultimate
ly the city should own its own
plant.
D. A, Banta thought it better to

Ben Giles thought we should get

Nick Smith. was not for owner

tract had better be received on the

Ira Brougher hardly cared to
say, as he was no property owner
in the city. but thought in the
end a plant could aid would pay
out here.
4. r. Moses, Jr.. spoke against
ownership and thought best to get
a new contract. He felt that it
would be better if the city was to
vote bonds, to do so for a sewer
system first. instead of the water
system.
! W. Torrey said be was mixed Oh
the question. that as the matter
stood he was out of the limits of

Robson expressed themselves fol-
ownership the latter adding that il
should be new plant.
W. H. Kerr was for ownership
in the end, but thought possibly
