The Spendthrift,

A shining square piano decorated with bric-abrac occupied the center of the parlor of the bachelor whose chum was giving little party during his absence.
 Lovely old thing" said one of the girls.
 Yes" said his chum, but be care ful how you open it and play on it. that is, if you have any respect for your nerves. He bought it at an que ton for four dollars He bought it for a special purpose. Some night when he gives party up here he's going to tear off the lid and throw il into the fire. Then he's going to keep up the fire the rest of the eve ming with the legs and one part and another. It's like this. you see. Every body will go away and say:
 How rich he must be to burn pianos like that in a grate when he could get wood so much cheaper
 As matter of fact he couldn't get that much wood very much cheaper"

Sufficient Reason.

The colored driver of an ash and garbage wagon was proceeding up Columbus road the other day urgently exhorting weary, melancholy looking horse to hasten it's steps The animals tongue was hanging out just as a matter of adding to its dejected ap- pearance-hanging out so far in fact as to occasion comment
 What makes that horses tongue hang out that way for?" inquired a bystander.
 What fo' does it hang out?" repeat ed the driver. Why, that's to keep i'm from stumblin'. Don't yo' know nuthin"
 Keep him from stumbling? How do you figure that out?"
 Why explained the driver, don't you see if that hoss was t stumble he'd bite his tongue off? You know that hoss aint a-goin' to do no sich fool thing as that. t."-Cleveland Plain Dealer

The Bryn MaWr House in WaIes.

About half way between Dolgelly and Barmouth, in Wales, we found a house that interested us very much. It is called Bryn Mawr, and is the home of the man who founded the town of that name in America. The house is square stone structure, standing back from the road and is now converted into kind of wayside inn where tea is served to the traveller. It Is said that after a residence of some years in America, he became so homesich that he returned and made a replica of the old house. It seems passing strange that two of our lead. ing colleges should be thus linked with the old world. No American man ever omits to pay his tribute of re- spect to John Harvard's house at Stratford -on-Avon, and the American woman should feel similar interest In this Bryn Mawr of the Welsh hills Springfield (Mass.)

BOHEMIAN FOR NOVEMBER.

An unusual number or short stories are printed in The Bo- hemian Magazine for November They are all good, but cOnspic- uous among them in gripping in terest and dramatic force is one entitled An Anarchist o the Big Timber" by Henry Oyen-a story that relates the lone fight of a backwOodsman, who believed he was being outraged in his rights, against a powerful lum- Der corporation in Chicago. An other story with a decidedly humorous vein is that by Pro- ter Emerson { Browne, entitled, "From Them That Have Went ' this tells how ''COrrigan" put his faith in mediums and of what befeu. Other articles are "Twen- ty Thousand Miles with Bem- hardt." The Ghost of Science, Latest methods of Craft" etc.

WOULD SEE JUDGE
VENERABLE JURIST'S JOKE IN
 THE FACE OF DEATH.
Importunate Disturber Left to Extract What Comfort He Could from Promise Made Regarding the
 Coming Conference.

Over the house strange hush had fallen. Servants walked with noise Jess tread and blinds were drawn close It needed no words to tell one that death was within the doors. The news that the venera be Justice Ten ney was fast sinking had spread over the town. It was no secret that his hours were numbered
 Suddenly the silence in the house Of death was broken by violent ring at the doorbell. A servant made haste to answer it lest it should be repeated. At the door stood man in the great est state of excitement.
 II want to see Judge Tenney,' he burst out the instant the door swung open.
 "S-h-h-h," warned the servant in a stage whisper "Please don't make so much noise; the judge is dying
 Yes, 1 know he is, insisted the caller. q heard about it only five min utes ago on the street. But l abso- lutely must see him before it is too late. It is so imperative that 1 cant take no for an answer. You just hur- ry to the judge and tell him that Jim Perkins is here and must see him."
 After no little hesitation the faithful old family servant ventured to the room where the old man lay dying. Leaning over close to the venerable jurists ear he gave him the message. 1t seemed to arouse the Tagging facul- ties of the dying man.
 Jim Perkins? Jim Perkins," he muttered in a voice that was barely audible to the waiting servant. "Oh, yes, l remember him now" he added a moment later. Yes, let him come up i; I'll see him.
 Presently MT. Perkins tiptoed into the death chamber and stood at the foot of Judge Tenney's bed.
 Judge, I'm profoundly sorry to hear you are in such bad way" he began.
 Yes, Jim, I've about reached the end of my journey" murmured the dy- ing man. Cant last much longer"
 T regret sincerely, judge, that I must bother you at such time" went on the caller apologetically, but you doubtless recall that decision you and Judge Wallace handed down against me last April, ordering me to pay Silas Hummer $500 damages"
 "Oh, yes" replied the judge, q re- member it.
 Well, before Judge Wallace died in June l talked it over with him and he acknowledged that an error of judg- ment had been made in the case He said he was convinced that I should never have been compelled to pay the money. Now, if you would agree also that the decision was wrong it would be easy to get the judgment set aside '
 Did Judge Wallace tell you that?" whispered the dying jurist after a minutes silence.
 Yes judge, he told me that a great wrong had been done.
 Well, all right, Jim, I'll consider the case, murmured the old jurst T ex- pect to see Judge Wallace in a little while and I'll talk it over with him. Good-by, Jim"

ORDINANCES ON CLUB
LICENSES DEBATED
FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETS
BEHIND LOCKED DOORS
Measure Along Lines Previously Sue-
gested by Mayor Harper Favored
by WooIwine and Other
City Officials

After the meeting of the council this
afternoon the finance committee will
gather behind locked doors in the Office
of City Auditor Mushet and consider
the matter of club licenses. The audi
tor is preparing a report on the mat
ter, with the assistance of the finance
committee, and it probably will be along
the lines of the ordinance Mayor Har-
per has suggested several times, which.
he says, he still favors very much. 1t
is favored by Prosecutor Woolwine and
other city officials, who are forced to
deal with the matter of clubs selling
liquor.
The amount Of license fee to be de-
manded probably will be $50 month
an amount which most of the clubs
have signified their willingness to pay
and the ordinance, If it is passed, Will
clearly define what sort of clubs shall
have the privilege of selling liquor
under these licenses. Every effort will
be made to guard against clubs, or
ganized for the sole purpose of dis
pensing liquor, operating under this
license. 1t is estimated such AN or
dinance would add more than $4,000 a
year to the city's income and would
give such organizations as the Cali
fornia and Jonathan clubs the right to
dispense liquor to their members, a
privilege they cannot now enjoy.

PROPOSE MEASURE TO
GOVERN HOSPITALS
COUNCIL GRAPHING WITH
TOUGH PROBLEM
Suggested Ordinance Would Require
Consent of Majority of Frontage
on Both Sides OF Location
Street

Hospitals are to be put under the
same restrictions as saloons, billiard
rooms, feed stables and other classes
of business that come within the juris-
diction of the police commission, If 1t
is found the city is legally entitled to
do so.
The council proposes to pass an ordi-
nance requiring the consent of ma
jority of the frontage on both sides of
the street in the block where it is pro-
posed to establish a hospital before
such hospital can ask a permit from
either the police commission or the
board of health.
This question of hospital location
has been bitter one, and scarcely a
meeting of the board of health is held
at which applicants for hospital per-
mits and protesting property owners
do not appear with pro and con petit
tions. The board Of health, being
largely composed of doctors and in
sympathy with the applicants, usually
grants such applications, to the in
tense disgust of the property owners.
The city attorney next week will re-
port the legal side of the question, and
if it is found feasible the council will
pass such an ordinance. These ordi-
nances have been found very satisfac-
tory in handling other Objectionable
businesses, and it is believed they will
be equally valuable in the case of hos
pitfalls.

MERCENARY PSYCHICS
OUT OF BUSINESS
COUNCIL TO PUT BAN ON FOR
TUNE TELLERS
Ordinance to Be Modelled on Lines of
Those in Force in Chicago
and Portland,
Ore.

The council has ordered the city at
torney to prepare an ordinance max
ing it a misdemeanor for persons to
advertise in newspapers or any other
way to find gold mines, restore lost
loves, cement broken friendships or do
any of the innumerable things psychics
advertise to do for a small considera-
tion. The ordinance will also prohibit
the holding of seances for money.
The ordinance will be modelled after
those in force in Portland and Chicago
and is designed to drive out of BUSH
ness the spookists, who through the
medium of spirits of the departed sep
arate the gullible from their money.
The ordinance is proposed by the
State Spiritualists' association, and is
introduced by them to divorce COM
mercialism from the religion and take
the stigma from their belief that many
hold because of the takers that make 1t
their business to commune with spirits
for a money consideration.
This organization asked the police
commission last Tuesday to recon-
mend to the council the adoption OF
such an ordinance, but the police COM
mission, with the exception of the
mayor, was unable to distinguish be-
tween the religious spir1tualism and
the commercial spiritualism, and re-
fused to have anything to do with the
ordinance.

BURGLARY SUSPECT LEADS
DETECTIVES HOT CHASE
Officers Follow Man Through Rail-
road Yards and Find Him
Hiding In Box
Car

After a chase of several blocks, De-
tectiVes Ingram and Carroll last night
arrested Fred Johnson, who ten min
utes previous to his capture had en-
tered the home of w, E. Banks, First
street and the river, and taken a
watch and chain, cartridge belt and
$1.25 in money from two trunks which
he had broken open with large stone.
Johnson was seen to enter the place
by two small boys. They thought the
mans actions were suspicious and hur-
ried in search of an officer. The lads
were considerably excited and were
met by Detectives Carroll and Ingram,
who asked the cause of their haste.
They blurted out their story and the
officers hurried to the house just as
run when he saw the two men ap-
proach. Carroll and Ingram gave
chase.
johnson headed for the river bot
tom; then into the railroad yards, with
the officers close behind him. When
he reached Fourth street he crossed
through several strings of cars. He
glanced around and did not see the
detectives, then jumped into the open
door of box car and crouched down
in a corner. The officers had noted
this move and in a short time after
he thought he had eluded his pursuers,
Johnson found himself covered with a
revolver and was ordered out of his
hiding place.
He was taken to the police station
and when searched the stolen goods
were found on his person. He said
he had recently arrived in this city,
but refused to make any other state

A. I. Lindsay, a wealthy resident of
Pasadena, was arraigned before the
lunacv commission and his case con-

dition became noticeable and he grew
rapidly worse until a week ago:
Wednesday last he met Henry
Nevhv on, the principal business street
of pasadena and, pulling revolver,
drew If across Newby's face, with the
remark. "I guess I'll kill you" The
ss me afternoon, 1t is said. he ordered
a hacl<man to drive him to the home
of a we'll known citizen. AS the hack
man drew rein, Lindsay pointed re-
voIver at him and told him to obey
orders with more alacrity or he
Swo,,Id blow out his brains"
Aliehting from the carriage, Lindsay
walked along the street until he ar
rived in front of house where a
earSenar was at work. With the ex-
cIamation, That's the man." he drew
his revolver and fired, the bullet pass
ing within a few inches of the gar
dener's head.
