Miss Margaret's 5
Wedding Dress
By INA BREvooRT ROBERTS
(Copyneht.)

NCOpyE1BnI-)
Except for the twittering of the
birds the little country churchyard
was very still as Miss Margaret laid
the wreath she had brought upon her
lovers grave.
Twenty-Five years had gone by since
John Grant had closed his eyes in her
arms, and in that time his sweetheart
had allowed no anniversary of his
death to pass without placing flowers
on the green mound that marked the
spot which held all that was earthly
of the man she loved.
Miss Margaret is faithful" said the
older people in the village, who re-
membered her as a gentle, lovely girl
with the light of happy love in her
blue eyes, and after the loss that end
ed her pretty romance, as a still, sad
faced woman.
Only two days in the year did she
consecrate to her sorrow-the ami
Versary of Johns death and, follow
her married.
On the former she placed flowers on
her lovers grave; on the latter Miss
Margaret took from their tissue wrap
pings the wedding gown of sheeny
satin, the filmy veil the snowy gloves
and slippers she had never worn.
II the day were fine she hung the
dress before an open window to let
the spring breeze smooth out any
wrinkles. Then, lovingly and careful
ly, she wrapped the things again, in
fresh paper, with bit of wax in each
package to keep it's contents white.
1t was of the morrow's labor of love
that Miss Margaret was thinking as
she paused in the quiet churchyard,
where the setting sun shone with Sc
rene spIendor and a faint breeze sway
ed the grass that between the graves
was blue with periwinkle, and here
and there a late violet.

the voice said. II don't often mind be-
ing poor; even at graduation l didn't
complain at being the worst dressed
person in the class, but it does seem
az If when girl is married she ought
to have pretty clothes for once in her
life"
Yes, it does," replied another
voice. like the first one, and yet differ
ent; Miss Margaret guessed that the
speakers were sisters. "If the crops
hadn't turned out so badly last fall
you might have a silk dress. Why
don't you wait another year? We
mightn't be so poor them"
1-we-he doesn't want to wait"
said the first speaker. Besides, you

Why don't you pray for what you
want?" the older sister said at this
moment. That's what mother says TO

desires are always granted"
"Oh, l know" returned the other
somewhat impatiently. But I'd be Just

Nothing short of miracle could get

A petition for a writ of mandate
Sheriff Harry Lydon to
receive and incarcerate A. d. Carr,
charged with the murder of George
Moore, was filed today in the district
court. The petition is signed by At
torney Clay McNamee, representing
the interest of the prosecuting wit
nesses in the case in which Carr IL
charged with murder.
Tie petition recites the proceed
irgs in Justice of the Peace Coburn' s
court wherein the defendant. A. D.
Carr. has been held to the district
court without bail. The petition
further alleges that when the pre-
liminary examination of Carr was
completed the prisoner was placed
in the hands of Constable Thomas M.
Tabor, who was armed with COM
'mitment and who delivered both
prisoner and commitment to Sheriff
Lydon, who again refused to incar-
cerate the defendant, Carr.
The petitioner prays that writ
OF mandamus be granted command
ing Sheriff Lydon to receive and i'm
prison the said A. D. Carr or that he
show cause before the district court
Oh October II why he has not done
so.
The filing of the writ this after
noon is another chapter in the legal

SUDDENLY INSANE, SON
ATTACKS HIS FATHER
Young Man Mentally Unbalanced as
Result of Typhoid Fever Strikes
Parent in Face, lnflicting
Deep Cash

John Lindslloj, 50 years old, a planning
mill employe, living at 549 North
Avenue %. was attacked and severely
beaten by his son, Sigfried, aged %
years, who suddenly became insane
yesterday afternoon. But for the
prompt arrival of assistance the father
probably would have been seriously
injured. The injured man was sent to
the receiving hospital, where long cut
on the inside of his mouth was stitched.
The son was arrested and booked at
the east side station on a charge of
insanity.
At the receiving hospital Lindskoj
said his son had typhoid fever some
time ago. and since then his manner
was changed. For the last few days
the young man had been acting pc
cular, and his father kept "a close
watch over him. Yesterday Lindskoj
met his son several blocks from their
home and persuaded the young man
to return to the house. They started
toward their home, the young man
making no objection. He walked by
the side of his father and conversed
in a pleasant manner. When they
reached Avenue 21 and Arroyo Seco
the son, without warning, sprang at
the elder man and struck him a heavy
blow on the right jaw. The attack
was so sudden Lindskoj did not have
time to defend himself. He fell to the
ground. The son gazed wildly around
as if looking for some weapon with
which to beat the PROSTATE man, and
then made a run at the old man, who
was arising.

TO PUBLISH REPORT
BY COLLABORATION
COUNCIL AND CHAMBER MAY
JOIN
Charles Mulford Robinson's sugges-
tions for Beautifying City to Be
Used as Advertisement
for Los Angeles

The finance committee of the city
council and the board of directors of
the chamber of commerce will collabo-
rate in the publication of a number of
copies of the report of Charles Mulford
Robinson, if the council can persuade
the chamber of commerce officials that
such a move will be to the interest of
Los 4.ngeles.
1t is planned to print a large number
of copies of this report and circulate
them through the east as an adVer-
tisement for the city, and it is believed
this report, pointing out as proposed,
plans for the improvement of Los An
geles, will prove a strong drawing card.
While but few of the recommended
tions Mr.. Robinson made in his eX-
haustive analysis of what Los Angeles
needs to become a city beautiful have
been carried out, his suggestions are
being followed as closely as possible in
improvements made in the city, and
the municipal art commission, which
was instrumental in getting Mr.. Robin
son here, believes it will not be long
until all his plans are under way
1t would cost millions in bonds to
carry out all Mr. Robinsons sugges-
tions, and with the owens river burden
the city officials are not at all anxious
to ask the people to vote bonds to make
the beautiful City of Angels perfect.
The appointment of a city forester
was one of the first municipal acts to
follow the suggestions of Mr.. Robinson.
and f. J. Harper, the forester is a
close student of Mr.. Robinson's report.
He has accomplished much along the
lines suggested by Mr.. Robinson with
the trees and parkings.
The building of the three bridges,
the Buena Vista, Main street and De
Los Pesos, which will excel anything
of the kind in any other city. are other
costly improvements that follow the
line of the civic architects report.
