Barrel of Liquor Is Spilled in the
Street and BIatta Germanca
Mistakes 1t for
Water
BY HOWE WILLIAMS

1 did not believe it either till the
barkeep showed it to me.
One day last week a dray loaded with
barrels over each of which different
odor floated, backed up to the Fountain
buffet on Spring street, near First.
Two husky HibernianS rolled them down
a board one at a time and into the
cellar for future consumption.
All of the barrels but three had been
carefully balanced on the board and
slid down the toboggan slide by the
healthy, husky Hibernians. And then
as luck would have it, one of the three
teetered on the board, gyrated, lost It's
equilibrium and, despite all efforts OF
the Mortified, hearty, husky Hibernians,
crashed into the gutter.
According to the best authorities on
entomology, the blatta germanica has
no sense of taste. What has that to
do with barrel of gin spilled in the
gutter? Be patient; read little fur
ther and you won't have to open die
tionary. l do not wish to be quoted on
this matter; l was told to lay all the
blame on the barkeep, Joseph Seaman,
young man of sunny disposition ana
q prediction for the truth.
At any rate, as the barrel of gin
pourned into the gutter and trickled
around the cobble stones squad of
eight or ten batta germanica-yes,
water bugs, crOtOn bugs or cOckroacheS,
whichever you please, espied it from
the grating in front of the saloon and
dashed across the sidewalk, Drawing
the peril of having their lives squashed
out by the gigantic feet above them. At
the glad sight of Water-thats what
they thought-some of them leaped
from the curbing into the stream and
floated long cockroach miles with the
current, all the while drinking in as
much of the liquid as their swelling
bodies would contain.
Others hung themselves to the curb
by their prehensile hind legs and drank
their fill
If the water bug, or blatta germanica
whichever your past erudition prompts
you to use-pOssessed a well developed
sense of taste, he would have known
better than to quench his thirst on a
thirst producer. But a coCkroach thinks
he knows water when he sees it, and
he wants it when he wants it.
So they drank their fill
1t was not very long before some
newsboys standing on the bank of the
river of gin observed the tippling
reaches. Little bugs hardly visible tc
the naked eye when they reached thc
banks of the stream got bigger anC

TAYLOR CERTAIN
WIFE IS ALIVE
BEREAVED HUSBAND APPEALS
FOR AID
HER," HE SAYS
Relatives Continue Search for Missing
Bride, but Hope Is Gradually
Giving Way to
Despair

There must be someone in this
great city of Los Angeles or in the
surrounding country who knows Where
my young wife is at this very moment.
and dozens of people must have seen
her since her disappearance. 1t is
inconceivable that a woman could van
ish from the face of the earth, as she
seems to have done, without leaving a
solitary trace behind her. 1t is in
credible. For this reason I appeal to
the newspapers of Los Angeles and
vicinity to continue to exert their in
huence and to give publicity to my be-
reavement in the hope that it will
reach the eye of that one person, If
there is but one, who knows where
Ada Showalter Taylor now Is"
This is the plea put forth yesterday
by E. A. Taylor, 1872 South Union
avenue whose bride of two months
disappeared from her home nine days
ago.
Yesterday was the first day since the
mysterious disappearance of the wo-
man that not a single clew was re-
ceived. Not one of those vague reports
from persons who saw or thought they
saw the missing bride, with the long
red coat hanging on her arm, was re-
ceived. The only telephone calls that
came to the house were from those
slowing it. For the first time the rel
atives of the unfortunate woman ap-
peared detected and hopeless.
AS the days go by Mr.. Taylor alone
refuses to acknowledge the possibility
of the woman's death. 81 cannot
imagine where she can be or under
what circumstances she is placed. but
I feel that she is alive and must find
her before harm comes to her." he said.

limited quantities will make one bug
tear out another's liver and throw it
in his face. So the newsboys drew
chalk circles on the sidewalk and bet
their pennies on Battling Nelson or

The noise on the sidewalk brought
Joe Seaman from behind the bar He
took one of the bugs into the cafe and

Just then the two heated, hearty,

headed for two beers each.

A Lone Dance.

The longest dance on record is prob
ably that of William Kemp, an actor
of some celebrity in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. He was comedian and
danced all the way from London to
Norwich.
He was attended by taborer, q
servant and an overseer, and it was
doubtless q good thing for him that
there were no omnibuseS or police then,
for they would probably have imposed
more impeGiments in the way of his
progress than did the country people.
He started with several presents of
greats and crooked sixpences for luck,
and, laden with these, he danced to
Stratford with out rest.
Subsequently he went in for early
rising to avoid market people, and,
though suffering from a sprain of the
hip which he received, he danced it
well again, to the delight Of the crowd
which accompanied him, some 200 in
number.
When he reached Norwich he had to
dance in and out of the city twice,
for his overseer missed him in the
crowd and made him do the distance
over again to avoid any possibility OF
error-London Graphic.

Live Mule, Dead Boar.

An odd hunting adventure recently
befell a British officer in India. He
was mounted on a fleet mule and was
running down wild boar, intending
to lance it, when the animal turned,
bit the mules leg and then fed again.
The mule screamed sayagely, and in a
minute she had deposited the officer
on the ground. Then, kicking out
vigorously five or six times, as if to
see that her legs were all right, she
started after the unfortunate pig at
lightning speed, with fury in her eyes
and vengeance in the crook of her
ears. The race was not long, and the
wild boar soon realized that he had
exasperated a relentless enemy. He
was soon winded, and the mule, COM
ing up with him, caught him by the
backbone with her teeth, crunched it
and threw him to the ground and
then, before he could rise, kicked him
so yiciously that he was dead boar
in less than no time. Then the mule
returned to her master and gave utter
ance to ''heehaw'' of triumph.

cagO and Prepares for Business.
Orchestra hall, on Michigan avenue,
in Chicago was crowded with dele
gates and spectators on the assem-
bly, of the first national convention of
the Independence party-or the Hearst
party as the papers call it. The hall
was bright with the colors of the ma
tional ensign. which had been used
almost exclusively in the decorations.
When VIM. r. Hearst made his ap-
pearance, although the convention had
been cheering everybody of note
who appeared and each delegation as
it arrived, the cheers were tumultuous
almost delirious, and for some min
utes the hall was in an uproar. of
which he took no notice.
Hearst was the temporary chairman
and he first took a seat with the New
York delegation. The preliminaries
were rapidly put through when the
convention got to work, the call was
read, prayer was offered and the tenn
porary organization was announced.
Hearst's name again getting cyclone

proceeded to sound his keynote, and
the convention was with him from the
start to finish.

Trivial Cause of a Bloody War.

In the year 1864 Polish nobleman
became obnoxious to the laws of his
country by reason of his having com
mitted a crime. He fed to Sweden.
whereupon John Casimir, king of Pc
land, wrote to Charles Gustayus, king
of Sweden, demanding the surrender of
the criminal The king of Sweden on
reading the dispatch noticed that his
own name and titles were followed by
two let ceteras," while the name of
the king of Poland was followed by
three The missing ''et cetera" so en-
ragged the king of Sweden that he at
once declared war against Poland.
The war was carried on with great bit
terness until 1860, when peace was
signed at Olivia, near Danzig. A con-
temporary writer (Kochowsky) poured
out his lamentations on the war in
these terms: "How dear has this 'et
cetera' been to us! With how many
lives have these two potentates paid
for these missing eight letters! With
what streams of blood has the failure
of few drops of ink been avenged"
