Schneider, Inventive

Genius.

not since | had dot fight NIT mine
friendt August be answered; and
" hen he said that [ couldn't help
but laugh, as it was the most
original scrap | ever saw. This is
the way it happened: Ii the shop,
where Schneider was employed
WAS q sausage maker by the name
Of August Bummelhelmer, who
was in the habit of playing tricks
on him. Now Schneider is the
best good-natured fellow in the
world, but even worm will turn
and so did Schneider.
1t seems that August was in the
habit of mixing medicine for him.
self several times 9 day, as he
claimed he was suffering from
cramps. 1t was strange how regu-
lar he got them and how quickly
the medicine" cured him. One
day after August had made bone
saw out of the. best skinning knife
Schneider had, he thought it was
q good joke; but Schneider, like an
Englishman, couldn't see the point
and Matched up a scheme to get
even. He knew where August
kept his bottle of medicine, and
one day shortly before noon he
put few drops of laudsnum in
it. After the noon meal August
took his usual dose, and in a few
moments felt the effects of the
laudanum. He laid down in a
corner to sleep. This WAS what
ISchneider was waiting for. Max
ling sure that August was sound
asleep, he procured fresh bulls
hide and sewed him inside Of it,
and it was neat job, too.
| Several hours later, when he
thought that August had slept long
enough, he took the bulls tail and
proceeded to wake him. The first
whack brought him out of dream
land, and the second almost put
him to sleep again. DO you see
the joker" asked Schneider, as he
tickled him few times with the
tail to make him laugh. He
couldn't see the Joke and howled
to be released, for Schneider had
sewed his hands up tightly inside
the skin.
! Schneider made him promise
never to play any more practical
jokes on him, and then released
HIM. No sooner was August free
than he wanted to fight, for he
couldn't forgive that tickling he
got with the bulls tail. Schneider
was no mollycoddle. 80 they agreed
to settle it that night with the
gloves. He took me along to act
as his second. He showed me his
gloves which were an invention of
his own. They looked like ordin-
airy gloves to me, but on closer ex-
animation l found that they were
filled with air instead of the usual
material.
I frankly told Schneider that 1
didn't like the looks of them and
offered him the use of mine, but
he was pleased with his own and
proceeded to fill them up with gas.
We then went to the place of meet
ing, which was livery barn in a
quiet neighborhood, and without
any talk about weight or picture
rights, they both went at it. The
fight didn't last long, for after
dancing around and exchanging q
few light blows, Schneider landed
a right hand swing alongside of
August's head. The blow exploded
the glove and August was knocked
senseless into a corner. It took us
half an hour and several good doses

been the privilege of writers to
trace all great ilisar tors to some
trivial cause. One of these invest
igators says that somebody asked
for dollar in real money and as
a result came the recent panic.
Nothing could BE- more true as an
apt illustration Of the real facts.
Inflated values and an inadequate
currency caused the trouble.
AS remedy for trust evils this
country may yet turn to the prin-
ciples of Henry George. In his
Single Tax idea is found the solu-
ton of many questions. By max
ing it impossible for spectators
and monopolists to hold natural
wealth in the shape of lands and
mines unused, would throw open
hundreds of opportunities which
are now closed to labor and mod
crate capital. In a country blessed
with our natural resources such a
thing as a panic and an over sud-
ply of labor should be unknown.
these conditions are brought about
by man-made and not natural
causes.
When working man is out Of
a job, he spends his time looking
for something to do, and is not
found in "parades of the unem-
ployed." These demonstrations
are organized by agitators and the
ranks are made up by professional
paraders, who call themselves the
unemployed during hard times,
but who are known as tramps when
work is plenty. This was we'll H.

authorities were SO impressed that
they voted to dig canal and ad-
vertised work for all corners. just
dozen applications were received
for employment.
The reverence of the average
American for the Constitution ia
exceeded only by his ignorance Of
its terms. This reverence stands
in the way of a great many needed
amendments and changes. The
fact is we have outgrown that ven
Grated instrument, even Hamilton
at time when the ink was hardly
dry on the parchment, was forced
to acts which we're constitutional,
only by an elastic Interpretation
OF it's terms. The supreme court
and not the legislative branch of
the government is the real law
maker of this country. When the
Constitution stands in the way of
laws which the people have de-
manded and the Legislators have
passed, such as the Employers Lii
ability Act, it is time for constitu-
ton amendment. 81
A judge in Toledo sentenced

The sheriff invited the women to

kept busy supplying the party with

HUMANE SOCIETIES
FORM FEDERATION
Three San Francisco Clubs Refused
Admittance Because Their True
Objects Are Not Protection
of Animals
ERy Associated Press.l

SAN JOSE, Sept. 24.-The State as
sociation of Humane Societies of Cali
fornia was organized here today and
the first annual convention began with
90 delegates in attendance from vari-
Gus parts of the state. William Harry,
sr.. of Fresno was elected president
and w. d. ]. Hambly of San Jose Sec
retary.
Three sessions were held and were
occupied principally with the delivery
of addresses and the reading and dis
cussion of papers. The convention
will adjourn next Saturday.
Three San Francisco organizations
were refused membership in the asso-
citation. These were the San Francisco
Society for the Protection of Children
the United States Society for the Pro>>
lection of Children and Animals ana
the Pacific Humane society.
1t was declared that the Pac1t1c So
ciety has 1860 members and 100 off1-
GERS and the United States society 81
members and so officers, the officers
being authorized to carry arms.
The credentials committee reported
adversely to the admission of these
three organizations, as majority OF
the delegates voted that they would
withdraw if the San Francisco societies
were admitted. 1t was the BELIEF OF
the delegates that these organizations
were formed in order that members
might become officers and thus be
authorized by law to carry arms, rather
than for the purpose OF engaging III
Humanitarian work.

A. H. Dearing, the janitor of the
Citizens National Bank building, at
Third and Main streets, who lives at

Dearing was formerly an able sea-
man on the u. S. S. Missouri and
jackson and August are deserters from
the navy. They were arrested here
shortly after the Atlantic fleet left San
Pedro for the north, but the authorities
at Mare Island navy yard refused to

and he took them into his house, where
they lived at his expense until they
ran away yesterday, taking with them
two suits of clothing, a watch, some
jewelry and SAC in money.
Jackson and August were arrested
by the police last night as they were
trying to leave the city, but on sur

they had taken, were released. Dear
