'It is hard to take a back seat and
see the younger generation occupying

widow, who Is not through being
youthful, though she has two grown
up daughters. She admires the fine
restraint" which wealthy French moth
ers exercise over the dressing of their
young daughters, and she wishes more
of this maternal mastery could be seen
In this country. Until she is mar

she is young" says the widow, ia

were schoolroom child. Surprising
she remains unwed at 81, she is still
dressed after & uniform plan, SO that

He Understood.

During a financial furry a German
farmer went to the bank for some
money. He was told that the bank
was not paying out money, but was
using cashiers checks. He could not
understand this, and insisted on
money. The officers took him in
hand, one at a time, with little effect.
Finally the president tried his hand,
and after a long and minute explana-
ton, some intelligence of the situation
seemed to be dawning on the farmer s
mind. Finally the president said:

Letter WRITING.

Writing interesting letters doesn't
come naturally to me, and there are a
good many people with whom I must
keep in touch through letters, If at all.
So l have got into the way of keeping
a notebook and jotting down in it brief
notes to remind me OF little bits OF
news that will specially interest my
different correspondents l even lot
down little joke sometimes, says
Home Chat. Then, when spare time
comes to write my letters my notes
are ready to hand, and the interest.
Ing scraps Of news don't go flying
away directly put my pen to paper
as they used to do. Everybody tells
me my letters are much more inter.
esting than they used TO be. II SO
that is the secret.

A Strong Point Against Him.

You say you have known this de-
PENDANT for many years?"
Yes, ever since he was a boy"
DO you consider him to be Of sound
mind?"
We'll, don't want to say anything
against him If 1t isn't necessary"
But you are under oath to speak
the truth. Have you ever observed in
his actions anything that would lead
you to the belief he was weak men,

Luminous Birds.

Owls do not appear to be the only
luminous birds. The authors of The
Water Birds of North America" allude
to the phosphorescent plumage of the
great blue heron. The breast feath-
ers of this species. it appears. are fur
nished with a downy, light-emitting
substance. The bird itself is known
as the "bird-iantern." 1t is suggested
that the luminosity may be of service
to the bird, both by attracting the fish
and enabling II to see them.

NEW LICENSE ORDINANCE
OF SAN JOSE FOUND VOID
Decision Holds State Constitu-
tion Violated by Special
Privilege Provisions

SAN JOSE, Nov. 2S.-Superior Judge
Richards this morning handed down a
decision in which he holds that the new
city license ordinance is void.
The matter was brought before the
court several weeks ago by the refusal
of c.. C. Leland, local businessman, to
pay his license, followed by his arrest
and his application for a writ of habeas
corpus. Today the writ was granted
and Leland discharged.
The ordinance, says the court, is in
valid on the ground that it grants spe-
cial privileges and immunities to GER
tain persons that are not permitted
others; 1t authorizes the mayor to ex-
ercise his discretion In the matter of
issuing licenses to engage in any of
the classes of business specified in the
ordinance, and this is held to be vio-
lation of sections 1 and 21 of article l
of the state constitution, guaranteeing
equal protection of law to every person
and forbidding grants and privileges
or special immunities to any; also, is
opposed to the provisions of the four
teenth amendment of the federal con-
stitution, providing that no state shall
deny to any person in its jurisdiction
the equal protection Of the law.

By Walter Anthony

Merely as matter of reporting it
must be written that Richard Walton
Tully's comedy. "A Strenuous Life, -
written first as a Junior farce" when
the author was yet unacquainted with
David Belasco, was a big success last
night at the AlcaZar theater. Tully
did the play in 1901 and called it at
first by another name. It was pro-
duced at the University of California
junior farce and so made a great hit
on this the west side of the bay. Later
it was presented even in Chicago, where
il ran for a week in spite of its blue
and gold swaddling clothes; and now
the Alcazar stock company presents it
again with its splendidly able coterie
Of players.
Cold and exact criticism must retire
modestly into the wings and sit down
when q farce makes an audience laugh;
fault finding has no seat even in the
last row when comedy accomplishes
its purpose in merriment; finally the
author has no occasion to apologize
when three acts out of three end in
screams and his play pleases his public.
CRITICISM FUTILE
Criticism under these circumstances
is gratuitously futile and funny, ana
remains unheeded and pitiful; for
doubtless the author knows more about
the weaknesses of his first born child
than he who drops in for an evenings
call TO size the infant up.
Tully displays in this his first piece
a skill in formulating situations and
imagining circumstances and action.
This same talent led him into success
later with his Rose Of the Rancho" !"
and his first play discloses the tenden-
cies which later were developed to ma
turity, and which, doubtless. will ulti-
mately be a power in American dram
atics. OF the youthful exuberance of
a Strenuous Life" no one would will
ingly complain. any more than you find
fault with the destructive energy of
infancy. which is really nothing but
constructive potentiality in the max
ing. In other words, Tully's first play
may not be perfect, but it has action,
amusing complications, laughs in a
hundred situations and some good
Characterization.
