How often men say: ''Oh, II
makes no difference what man be-
lieves, just so he is sincere"
Let US see. A family was poison
ed last week by eating toadstools,
which they sincerely believed to be
mushrooms. Three OF them died.
Did it make any difference?
A man endorsed q note for O friend
whom he sincerely believed to be
an honest man. He was scoundrel
and left him to pay the debt. Did
IL make any difference?
A traveller takes the wrong train,
going north, sincerely believing 10
TO be the southern train. Will he
bring up at the South all the
same?
II q man sincerely believes in O
certain thing, while the truth about
10 is entirely different, will this sim
cere belief make it all right?
The truth is, the popular saying
is lie. and very transparent one
at thati II man is sincere be will
take pains to know. the truth. For
where facts are concerned, ell the
thinking Of the world will not
change them. A toadstool remains
q tOadstool no matter what we may
think about 10.

Abolish Superstition.

Il is said and believed that all the
bluejays disappear every Friday.
aad not one can be seen until the
next day. and this disappearance 10
accounted for by the statement that
the birds are under a compact with
Satan. and that they devote each
Friday TO delivering him q supply
OF sand for heating purposes. sand
being one OF the ingredients that
keeps his unreasonable cauldron at
the point Of torture. But why should
the blue jay be selected as sand
bearer TO Satan, when there are so
many birds of stronger and feeter
wing2 There are manv supersti-
tons that have a reasoning basis.
but this particular one has nothing
whatever to go on. The origin OF ID
lies In the fact that the blue jay ia a
most particular me-builder; he
knows how to build his house, and
he takes q great pride in il. He
doesn't hang his nest TO limb, nor
glue it TO tree. Instead. he selects
o substantial fork or crotch Of q limb,
Jays down few twigs. OF goodly size
and strength. and on these he sup
erimposes strong foundation Of clay,
with layers Of paper between, and
when his nest is finished, il il as
substantial in proportion as one OF

Thus fitted aud finished, il is ad-
mirably adapted TO the rearing OF q

blue-ia goes about this business
with his earnest energy that charac-
terizes all his movements. He raises
his young and leads them about
from tree to tree and from bush to

their wings. and then, his response
bilities being over, he proceeds with
his career OF gayety, q veritable

armed. Today more than score of
citizens volunteered with the sheriff S

The fact of the mans desperate ma

During the thirty hours the man has
been at large not the slightest clue has
been obtained Of his whereabouts.
Harry Hammer, one of his victims. is
at the county hospital. The bullets
fired into his body perforated his in
testines in three places and despite a
successful operation by surgeons but
little hope is entertained of his recov-
cry. Fred Schmidt, the other injured
man, was only slightly wounded.

Trlbulatlon

MONROE, N. Y, Sept. 27.-Although
all appears serene on the surface,
neighbors of Ferdinand p. Earle and
his affinity wife, who was Miss Julia
Kuttner, predict another storm on their
domestic horizon. Since their appar-
ent reconciliation after Earle was ar
rested for beating the woman for
whom he had put away his wife, there
have been rumors of trouble brewing in
the household.
The romance of Earle and his pres
ent wife, which caused such a sensa-
tion over America, was all but broken
when the artist was sent to jail for
beating her.
Earle discarded his wife and little
son that he might wed Miss Julia Kutt-
ner, whom Ire declared was his affinity.
The second Mrs. Earle's relatives now
say the happiness of the couple was
short-lived, and Earle, when taken be-
fore a magistrate here. did not deny
the charges that he had beaten the
woman to whom he had been married
less than a year.

MEXICAN LEPER MAY
BE SENT HOME AGAIN

Antonio Moro, the Mexican leper
who was confined to the county hos
pital Saturday by the order of the Los
Angeles health department, probably
will be sent back to Mexico as soon as
the matter can be taken up with the
immigration bureau. A meteorological
examination recently made upon the
Mexican by DIR. o. r. Stafford, Dr..
/. r. Bancroft and DIR. Powers of the
health department proved that he had
been suffering from the disease for the
past three years,
Although Moro Is unable to speak a
word of English, it was ascertained,
through the aid of an interpreter. that
he has been working with a gang on
a railroad near San Bernardino since
his arrival in this country. 1t is prob
able that he succeeded in crossing the
border into this country at a point
near Calexico and gradually made his
way north.
Although leprosy is common in Mex
leo, the disease is not the result of any
climatic conditions that prevail in the
southern country, but rather is due to
filthy modes of living.

woman, went after them.
AS they turned the corner OF Mateo

the officer, the bullet grazing the edge
of his helmet. Browning redoubled his
efforts, caught Soria within the next
block and sent him to the station. He

BONDS IN ORDER
Advisory Board Does Not Wish to
Interfere Now, but VIII Be
Heard on Expen-
dtures

When the board of supervisors meets
at 10 o'clock today the question of
greatest Importance to be considered
will be the advertising in the regular
manner for bids for the $3.500,000 good
roads bonds authorized by the votes
of the taxpayers in the election OF
July 81. The supervisors will be given
free rein in the matter, without advice
or interference on the part of the good
roads advisory committee, and, While
some members of the latter may be
in attendance at the session, they Will
be present merely to watch the pro-
ceedings and not to take any part In
the work.
The resolution offered by George AL
exander last Friday, following the
withdrawal from the private sale or
September by the Los Angeles Trust
company and James H. Adams q Co.,
in all likelihood will be either with
drawn or voted down, and the sub
stitute promised to be offered by Su-
pervisor Eldridge will take its place.
Both these resolutions have in view
the same object, except that the one
by Alexander calls for the submission
of bids and other work in connection
with the sale to the advisory board for
approval.
The Eldrdge resolution. like that Of
fered by Alexander. will provide. for
the advertising for bids thirty days
before the date OF sale, while the for
mer goes further and specifies dates on
which delivery shall be made.
1t was stated yesterday by mem
ber of the advisory board that there
was no wish on the part of any MEM
Der of that body to enter into the mat
ter of the sale, and while all would
welcome any invitation extended to
take part in the deliberations, there
was a general feeling among the mem
bers that the supervisors should be left
to carry out the sale without inter-
ference on the part of advisers.
After the sale Is made, however 1t
will be the province of the advisory
board to enter into the question of ex-
penditure and work on the county
highways, as it was for this purpose
1t was chosen.
