hippo's Mouth an Impressive Sight.
 The hippopotamus Is sort of float ing island which inha bits the African rivers. To see a hippopotamus rise out of the water and go away Is as discon- eertipg to the tourist as it would be to see sand bar get out of the Missouri river and chase COW. The hippo life is too short to write his full name ifs big brother of the pig. He weighs five tons, and B. gargoyle is cute and pretty beside him. He is fat and fabby, covered with a reddish skin adorned with bristles and has a broad flat head as wide as dinner table. The mouth of the hippo is an, other of natures African extraya, gances. He has mouth enough to do the eating for boys boarding school. His jaws are very flexible, and those who have gazed into the inner works of hippo when he has opened his vast pink lined mouth, studded here and there with tusks that look like broken off Grecian columns, have been impressed with the sight - Golfers Weekly.

Colorado Apple Show.

Word was received this week
from Danver stating that the
work OF soliciting the funds for
the Colorado National Apple Ex-
position was going on and would
probably be finished the last of
this week.
The Denver Auditorium has
been secured for December 6 to
~, and the Denver Chamber of
Commerce writes that the pre-
mium list will reach $4,000 in
value and may even exceed that.
This exposition will be a COM
plete show OF the Apple industry
and will include everything that
is used in producing an apple
crop from the planting of the
trees to the marketing of the
fruit. Prizes will be offered that
will attract apple exhibits from a
single apple to car load.
Colorado growers have said
that they preferred that the show
be as wide in scope as possible as
they have confidence in the SUI
perior appearance and quality of
the Colorado apple and are sure
that the premiums will remain in
this state.
The show will be liberal edu-
cation in the arts of apple grow
ing and no fruit grower can afford
to withdraw his support.

SUNDAY NIGHT MUSINGS.
BY L. 7. RAwALT.

IL is not often that the atten
ton of the writer is directed to
matters of dress so far as ladies
are concerned. but in our recent
visit to Denver We we're impress
ed with the new type of head
gear invented by ambitious mil
liners, whose chief idea seems to
have been to secure a plan Ger
tain to separate people from their
coin. For many years we have
observed that the more cratic
and nonsensical the style the
more energetically it is followed.
This years Easter hat is dream

strueted on plans and specihea-
tions as follows: Take a medium

OF holes about one fourth of an
inch in diameter. On top and
around the sides assemble the
contents of taxidermy shop and
a horticultural experiment station.
Add to the heap from thirty to
forty artificial roses in tints and
size to resemble nothing natural
under the canopy OF heaven. and
place the whole id thing on
the head of a woman and you
have the acme of style in head
dress today. This editor does
not know a great deal about wo-
men. We have only put in about
thirty years studying them and

superficial. but on one or two
points ~e feel sure our deduc-

to their personal adornmcn,,

turn in despair from the built up
woman to the real thing they
would waste less time or Tub hats

years back it was the custom for
woman to build a bunch on the
lower end of her spine and the
larger the bunch the nearer she
approached the prevailing mode.
but there was not man in
christendom who did not jeer at
the manifest counterfeit of the
real thing. Later they conceived
the idea of the so-called balloon
sleeves. giving the votaries of
fashion the appearance of having
an arm like a sugar cured ham.
Those balloon sleeves only lasted
a year or two. The mode was too
severe and they gradually dis
carded another fad that never
had a reason for existence. How
long will it take women to learn
that the Creator built them Just
about right. They were His

VESSEL BOUND FOR SAN Pc
DRO MEETS WITH MISHAP
In Severe Gale Boat Loses 1000 Feet

SAN PEDRO, Dec. 26.-Another tale
of the sea demonstrating the ferocity
of the heavy southeast gales which
menaced shipping on the northern
coast early in December is related by
Captain Nyman of the schooner
Omega. which arrived last night from
Coos bay with a cargo of lumber for
San Pedro.
December 6, a short time after sail
ing from Coos bay, the vessel ran into
a heavy southeaster, and for eight
days made no headway on her south
ern passage. In fact when the storm
had abated it was found, on taking an
observation, the schooner was sixty
miles north of Coos bay.
During the blow, which was the
strongest ever experienced by Captain
Nyman, a heavy sea struck the
schooner on the starboard bow with
such force as to break a turnbuckle
on one of the heavy cargo chains and
1000 feet of the deckload was washed
into the sea.
At about this time a heavy sea en-
gulfed the mate, who was on duty at
the wheel, and carried overheard the
pinnacle and compass.
The story told by Captain Nyman
describes the same storm that carried
away the staysail, two mainsails and
sc 900 feet of. lumber from the schooner

BOYS ARRESTED ON
BURGLARY CHARGE
LOS ANGELES YOUTHS CAUGHT
AT BANNING
Two Lads Accused of Stealing Cloth
ing and $24o in Cash from
South Main Street
Store

AS the result of telegraphic instruc-
tions sent to all stations in Califor-
mia, Wayne Stewart and Daniel q.
Meyers, two Los Angeles youths, were
arrested in Banning last night charged
with robbing the store of Jacob Mey-
ers, 242 South Main street.
The alleged offense is said to have
been committed late Saturday night or
Sunday morning, and was reported at
police headquarters early yesterday
morning. The articles said to have
been stolen by the burglars are eight
pairs of corduroy trousers, three suits
of black clothing, eight Stetson hats,
nineteen pairs of gloves, two suit
cases and $240 in cash.
When arrested at Banning the oooty
alleged to have been taken from the
Meyers store was found in the suit
cases and nearly all the money, with
the exception of carfare, was found on
the boys arrested.
Entrance to the Meyers store was
gained by breaking the panel of rear
door and Ilnfastening an iron rod
which held the door, thus giving ac-
cess to the front of the store.
The $240 was in a tin box beneath
the counter, and that the youths had
knowledge of the hiding place was
evident. AS soon as the robbery was
discovered suspicion was directed to
Meyers and Stewart, and their speedy
arrest was due to the detailed descrip-
tion flashed to all parts of California
Detectives Beaumont and McCann
left Los Angeles last night to bring the
prisoners to Los Angeles.

MONROVIA TO TAKE
SANITARlUM VOTE
Foothills City Council Calls Election
for Next Thursday, When
the Issue Will Be
Decided
Especial to The Herald.i !

MONROVIA, Dec. 26.-Much feeling,
pre- and con, has been created by the
election which the city council of Mon
rovia has called for Thursday to find
out whether or not the citizens of the
foothill city desire to have another
sanitarium erected. Letters daily are
being received by the members of the
council and at Tuesdays meeting many
petitions were read and speeches made
for and against the erection of sec
ond tubercular hospital.
Already, it is claimed, Monroyia has
come to be known as a sanitarium
town and the greater number of those
who are opposed to the erection of a
second sanitarium base their opinion
on the assertion that Monrovia is being
spoiled as a residence city.
The Wealthier residents of the city
are unanimously opposed to the pro-
posed plant, especially those living in
the vicinity of Diamond flats, where
Kirkenschlager says that ground will
be broken for the new sanitarium
within the next six months Many
also believe that the proposed building
would be nothing more than a colony
for the poorer classes of cOnsumptiVes.
The election will be held without eX-
pense to the city and only qualified
electors will be permitted to vote.
The polls will be open at the city hall
from 8 a. m. until p. IN.

reports of his visits in several differ

aged man to his bed in cave in the

warmed up a frugal evening meal. His
bed was the ground, and a sack his pill

The old man said little to the police
regarding his past, but indicated that
he had been well-to-do at one time
