Ambassa- dor Cambon politely but firmly de- clined to transmit such a proposition to Paris explaining that his instruc- tiOns did not permit him to receive any proposition involving a censure of French action.
 Herr von Schoen thereupon agreed to re-eXamine the French formula. A final response from Germany is not expected before Tuesday.

 At the board of trade room the clerks in charge of the room renting agency are buster than a hired girl on wash day. They have a lot of rooms listed, but will be glad to get more and are prepared now to find a bed for any respectable person who applies with just little bit of money in his pocket. To visitors the invitation is again eX- tended. If you haven't a place to sleep, don't hang on the street lamps or go to jail, but report to the board of trade room corner of First avenue and Adams streets and get one. There will be no overcharge for the room and no charge at all for the service.
 Important Notice.
 The home people are supposed to know, but some of the visitors may not have heard about the big automobile race from Los Angeles, to finish here anytime between Monday noon and the next day. Don't get curious, but when the electric light whistle blows two toots three times in succession, get off of Adams street and stay off until the police permit your return. Don't do this to favor anybody, but merely to save your lives for four automobiles may come down that street at mile minute They may come together and they may be spread out, requiring a call for each one. If your lives are worth anything to you, lookout and not try to cross the street in front of them.

There Is noth- ing left to do but pull the string; that is nothing has been overlooked. though there are ten thousand details that still command attention and about half that many people are looking after them.

 Little need be said about the street decorations which speak for themselves except the truthful remark that Phoe- nix was never so brilliantly dressed, nor was the bunting ever used in such liberal quantities.

Mo | anJIuhber,

Young Jack Tabs has only been in
the navy for a few months, but there
is not a more enthusiastic sea dog in
the whole of his majesty's service. He
recently made application for and re-
ceived the usual leave and proceeded
to London and his mothers house.
Mrs. Tabs lives on the third floor of
a house in Camberwell, and when he
arrived at her address he stood in the
doorway and bawled up the stairs:
Mother, aloft there! Jacks come
home Open the window"
why, Jacky, my DEAR" cried the
old lady from the landing, "whatever's
wrong with the stairs?"
"Stairsr' cried the weather worn tar,
with ineffable contempt What do
know about stairs? Just you open
the window and lower rope to the
main deck, and be quick about it"'-

The Mayor of Berlin.

One of the principal requirements of
a mayor in Germany is unqualified hon.
esty. for in the municipal administra-
ton of Germany graft in any form
would not be tolerated. To become the.
moyor of a city like Berlin the APP
plicant must have established his repu-
tation for efficiency in governing other
German cities His career is carefully
scrutiniZed by the members Of the
town council who select him, for not
only must he be competent and sue
cessfully perform the duties of his high
position. but still so young as likely to-
remain competent for many years. for
a mayor in Prussia is elected for a
term of twelve years and if not re-
elected after that period is entitled to-
a life pension of half the amount of his
salary After a service of six years
his pension is one-fourth of his salary
and after serving twenty years two
thirds. He need not necessarily be a
resident of Berlin at the time of his
appointment fact the mayor is usu-
ally chosen from the residents of other.

Of all the troubled, unsatisfied expert

she grew less rebellious. She would
be gentle and patient, too-to do right,
for what was life given?
The winged needles of the pine trees
over her head sifted down about her
on the night breeze, and when the
mists had enveloped the sand dunes
and the tide had covered the marshes
in shimmering surface she still sat

perhaps as near deception as so con-
scientious man could be. His real
purpose was to determine in what
way he could best mitigate the bitter

the old man felt.
