An Air With Real Air.

During one of the political tours of Mfr. Cleveland, in which he was accom-. panied by Secretary Olney, he arrived during a severe storm at town in which he was to speak. AS he en- tered the carriage with his friends and was driven from the station the rain changed to hall, and immense stones battered and rattled against the ve- hlcle. A brass band, rather demorallz- ed by the storm, stuck bravely to it's post and played.
 "That Is the most realistic music I have ever heard" remarked the presi- dent.
 "what are they playing?" asked the secretary of state.

sat there in the silence and the dark. No wagons came along, though once an automobile shot past at q speed that rendered hls cry unayalling.
 The passing of the car only served to make the loneliness the more pro, nounced, and when two more great yellow eyes shone far down the road Bobby gently lowered the golden head from his shoulder to the grassy bank and sprang to his feet. Perhaps If he waved his arms they would see and stop.
 Nearer and nearer came the lights, and he stood directly in the yellow patch the lamps made in the white dust of the road. To his great relief the car slowed down, and from be- hind the curtain of light that half blinded the tired eyes came the wei come sound of a familiar voice. Bobby sprang forward to throw himself into the strong arms of hls big brother.
 "You're fine pair of runaways," cried Howard. "We have been search Ing the roads for nearly two hougs."
 "Is Nancy with you?" demanded an anxious voice from the car, and Bobby knew that Nancy's sister was there too.
 She gave little cry when Howard brought the girl to her and covered the tear stained face with kisses Howard made up a bed In the tonneau for the children and ran on to where the road permitted turn toward home, Bobby was not sleepy now, and he stood leaning over the back of the front seat watching the car eat up the road
 "We was eloping lovely he said plaintively, until Nancy got tired. Now l s'Dosc this spells 1t all."
 "I guess 1t does, old man." was the laughing comment. Suppose that you give me your proxy"
 Whats proxy% demanded Bobby curlously.
 "Irs this way" explained Howard as he let the ear slow down. If you want to do something but don't have time or for some other reason you cant. you appoint proxy to act for you appreciate highly your endeavors to unite the Hartman and Seaton fam lilies, but, since your scholastic duties prevent the consummadon Of your lQudable intentions, propose that you constitute me your proxy in the prem. lses. might add that in consideration of this demonstration. of your conf- dcnce in my integrity I am prepared to reciprocate with the donation of one bright silver half dollar in the coin of the realm"
 Bobby regarded hls brother suspl. ciously. He never could tell just what Howard was up to when he used the big words, but he proffer of a half dollar was a business proposition, and he stretched out his hand.
 The exchange was made and How ard turned to the girl.
 "Etta," he said gently, "it would be a shame to frustrate the plans of these two lnnocents. Don't you think, dear, that you might act for Nancy and make this marriage by proxy an as sured fact:"
 For moment the girl hesltated then she half turned in the seat.
 Ut would be a shame-tO spoil their plans" she said gently. q think-I should llke-to act as Nancy's proxy, dear"

CRUDE JEST IS
PERPETRATED BY
CHIEFS FRIENDS
Post Card Bearing Ridiculous InscriP-
tion Mailed Police Chief by Some
Person with Peculiar Ideas
of Humor

One of Chief Kern's friends with a
peculiar idea of the ridiculous yester-
day morning mailed him an envelope,
the inscription on which was in free
hand lettering, containing a humorous
post card on which was printed in col
,rs hen sitting on a white door-knob.
Underneath the picture were the
words: May the chicken soon be
Eatched that will scratch on your
grave" The original word never" had
been scratched and the word "soon"
substituted.
On the other side of the card, in the
space for correspondence, are lettered
In the same style as the address on the
enevolope the words I'VE will get you
before the first chicken is hatched,"
while in the portion reserved for the
address are the words: Ed Kern, Po-
lice Station, First st. bet. Hill and
Broadway sts., City
On the autographed side of the card,
in the upper right-hand corner, is a
crudely drawn skull and cross bones
symbol On the same side, near the
bottom, is pasted a roughly cut black
hand.
Chief Kern smiled when he received
the supposed threat and scouts the idea
that it is a sentence Of death from an
anarchist.
1t is thought the warning possibly
was sent by some person seeking to
prejudice the police against the So
rialists who are holding street meet
ings nightly in violation of the city
ordinance prohibiting same.
The envelope was postmarked Los
Angeles, March 4. $3.50 d. m. and is
thought to have been dropped in let

IN EARLY PRIMARY
LINCOLN LEAGUERs PUT VOTERS
ON GUARD
Republican Machine Asks for Test
Party Vote Three Days in Ad-
vance of the Regular
Date

Lincoln Roosevelt league officers see
a dark scheme in the plan of the Re
publican state central committee invit-
ing all Republicans to participate in
the informal primary called for May z
The regular primary is called for
May 5.
On the latter date delegates will be
selected to the state convention, which
will name delegates from California to
the Republican national convention.
Lincoln Roosevelt leaguers believe
the idea of a double primary was
hatched to confuse voters Apparently
the machine wants an uninstructed del
egation, while the league is for Taft
first, last and all the time.
The league officers will urge their
followers to turn out by all means for
the regular primary on May 5.
The state committee of the Lincoln
Roosevelt league will in few days
decide whether members shall be ad-
vised to take part in the earlier test.
Machine leaders say that they want
a Taft delegation, but want 1t left
free to throw it's strength elsewhere If
Taft's hold is found to be waning.
The Republican league of Los An
geles county has reorganized and Sc
lected headquarters at 1872 South Spring
