"one Touch Of Nature Makes the
Whole World Kim"

+zEILeEtf NNssOsS IVY aHF rs
When a rooster hnds big fat worm
he calls all the hens in the farm
yard to come and share It. A similar
trait Of human nature is to be OBJ
served when a man discovers some
thing exceptionally good-he wants all
his friends and neighbors to share the
benefits Of his discovery. This is the
touch of nature that makes the whole
world kin. This explains why people
who have been cured by Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy write letters to
the manufacturers for publication,
that others similarly ailing may also
use it and obtain relief. Behind every
one Of these letters is a warm hearted
wish Of the writer to be Of use to
someone else. This remedy is for
sale by all druggists.

bob" DUNN TO VISIT
SIBERIA ON VACATION
Popular Magazine Writer to Go to San
Francisco with Fleet-Meets
OId-Time Friend
Here

One of the most popular men with
the fleet outside the enlisted rank and
officers roster is bob" Dunn, who has
been writing of the trip for Harper's
Weekly since the armada left New
York last September.
Dunn enjoys the distinction of being
the son of a millionaire, but loves his
work SO much he prefers it to a life
of tdleness in the metropolis.
Dunn has been in the newspaper
and reportorial field for ten years.
When Alaska was at the height of it's
prominence as a gold territory he was
sent there by Outing, and his accounts
of the country and the ways of it's in
habitants called for world wide COM
ment. He performed many notable
feats of journalism while doing the po-
lice assignment for the New York
World, Journal and Post and has been
sent abroad many times in the inter-
est of one or the other of these pa
pers.
Upon arriving here Dunn accidental
ly met one Of his closest New York ac-
quaintances, Tyler w. Loughery, and
spent most of his shore leave in his
company. Dunn will leave the fleet
and the Rhode Island, on which he
made the voyage around he Horn, in
San Francisco and will go to Siberia
on an outing. He is popular with both
officers and men and one and all are
expressing regret that "Bob" is not
to complete the trip with them.

GIRLS CASE IS
AGAIN LAID OVER
LAWYER PROMISES TO CLEAR
MYSTERY
Claims Young Woman Was the Un-
conscious Medium Through Which
Several Sought to Better Their
Own Pocketbocks

On account of the illness of Judge B
N. Smith, who is confined to his home
with a severe cold, the trial of Ruby
Casselman, charged with forgery, which
was continued to yesterday morning
from Friday, was further postponed
until tomorrow.
Notwithstanding the presence of the
fleet in nearby waters and the many
entertainments in Los Angeles a num-
ber of persons were in the courtroom
when the hour for the resumption of
the trial arrived.
Attorney e. Judson Brown, repre-
senting the young woman, stated yes
terday he is prepared to establish the
most complete alibi in all cases of for
gerry with which his client is charged.
Miss Casselman," said the attorney.
"has been the unconscious medium
through which a number of persons
have sought to better their own pocket
books without running the risk of dis
covery and punishment
Although it Is probable I shall not
go back during the trial to the time
two and a half years ago when this
young woman was first charged with
these crimes and a confession was prac-
tically forced from her lips. I am ready
to do so and am in a position to clear
up these charges and show my client
has been deeply wronged.
Three persons are implicated in the
alleged forgerieS on account of which
Miss Casselman was arrested, and who
they are will develop as the trial pro-
ceeds.
when the true facts are brought out
they will tell a startling story of de-
pravity and devilish ingenuity on the
part of certain persons to better their
own condition without regard to the
harm done to the character of this
young woman"
1t is not improbable the trial will
last all the week, as it is expected,
should Attorney Brown introduce the
evidence he claims to have in his pos
session. rebuttal testimony will be
brought in.
So far as the trial has proceeded Dis
trict Attorney Frederlcks and his as
sistant, John North, are satisfied with |
the case they have presented to the
jury.
