NoN-pRoFEssIoNAL STRONG MEN

MOT all the world strong men have been
~ performers on the public stage. In
deed, instances might be multiplied in which
the feats of professionals have been equaled
or exce1led
Charles Louvier, carpenter of Paris, found
it child's play to roll tin basin between his
fingers into cylinder On one occasion he
carried off a soldier on guard who had gone to
sleep in the sentry box, and deposited both
the box and the soldier on low churchyarC
wall nearby.
Another man who sometimes found his great
strength a source of amusement was a Danish
locksmith, Knut knudson. While standing
in window on the ground floor, he lifted with
one hand half bullock from the shoulder of a
butcher who was toiling past with his load
Augustus the Strong the Elector of Saxony,
once entered blacksmiths shop to have his
horse shod. To show his suite how strong he
was, he picked up several horseshoes and
broke one after the other, asking the black
smith as he did SO if he had no better When
it came to paying the bill, the Elector threw a
silver piece on the anvil
1t was a very thick coin. The black
smith took it up and broke it in half, saying
Pardon me, but / have given you good
horseshoe, and l expect good coin in return" "
Another piece was offered him. He broke
that, and five or six others. Then the humili-
ated Elector handed him louis Tor, saying:
The Others were probably made of bad
metal: but this gold piece is good, l hope"
An Italian. Luigi Bertini of Milan. performed
a similar feat. Besides horseshoes, he broke
nails finger thick.
The Duke of Grammont, the minister of
Napoleon Ill, frequently astonished the
women at court by bending a twenty-franc
piece in his hand.

Better Jobs.

"There are better jobs than running a newspaper in mining camp. although the transition of the old camp to the mod ern mining community of today marks a wonderful progress and has made the editorial burden easier and safer to bear, but there are worse jobs, too. Hundreds of mining camps are still far removed from centers of population, and some of the early forms of tribulation still remain. There are fewer old Washington hand presses and more drum cylinders there, but even a drum cylinder will make trouble for an editor in these days. The last one I had met with an accident one day and l had to send 2500 miles to Lhe factory for duplicate parts The reply I received carried me back to my first edi- torial experience in the mining camp. It read. We regret to say that we no long CT manufacture that type of press, and have not carried any of it's parts m stock sirce 1S75." In addition to this. the com pcsitor will still occasionally return to his proverbial vice Of decreasing the camps liquor supply, and compel the ed- itof to take cases'-set the typs him. self.
 still, the recollectons, soma of them very recent are fragrant. I have even kindly remembrances of the delinquent subscribers. We always treated our de- linquent subscribers as well as those paid in advance, for any day the delinquent might become a millionaire and buT the paper"

A Bear Story.

Every urban newspaper man knows that reporter fails sometimes to get the story he goes for, but comes back with another just as good. That ex- perence befell a mining camp editor once in this way: He went with a prospector to look at a claim about the summer and raspberries were ripe. On the way they came to a prolific patch and stopped. The editor kept up running fire of comment to his companion and received such replies as a man with a mouthful of the luscious fruit is able to make. In a little while, although the editor was aware that his companion was stand ing close beside him the replies ceased. Turning suddenly upon him, the ed itor began, Say, Charlie-n Then he stopped. Beside him, almost within touch, stood huge cinnamon bear, shoveling berries into his capacious. smiling mouth with both fore paws. When a person sees a bear unex pectedly he Is supposed to let out a 'whoop.' This editor didn't. He simply 'elided himself he merged with the like some eyanscent thing only to dis cover his friend about 200 yords fur ther down the mountain headed for the Pacific coast, while the cinnamon watched them for a moment in wide eyed afnazement that they should have deserted such a sumptuous berry patch. and then calmly resumed his delicious repast.

ics who are looked upon as respectable men in the community.
 When a burglar wants any particular tool made he goes to a mechanic who can do the job and pays him perhaps i've times what ii is actually worth for mak- ing the tool and keeping quiet about 1t. Many detectives can recall cases of this kind that have come to light in London.
 One in particular occurred some years ago when an escaped convict named Will jams went to a blacksmith in the East End and got him to make lot of drills to be used in a safe-crackng. He person. ally superintended the tempering of the steel, but when the job was nearly com- pleted it leaked out and Williams was ar- rested In this instance the blacksmith knew nothing of the use to which the tools were to be put. Most of the tools used by burglars are secured in the same way.
 The only regular establishment ever dis covered where they were made was in the East End. This was years ago and the place was soon bounced upon.

THINK ALL WRITING SACRED.
How the Chinese Dispose of Letters
 and Waste Papers.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 The Chinese h old every scrap of writ ing sacred no matter what the char aeters express=the merest commercial message, advertisement etc. Since Con- fucius used those characters to teach his wisdom, they are holy
 In the average Chinese community all letters and waste paper are laid away in clean receptacle to await the collector who appears at regular in- tervals to transfer the waste paper to the sacred furnace. If the papers were burned by the Chinese in theil own homes the ashes of the sacred writings would mingle with the ashes of wood and other fuel, and the ashes of Chinese writings are as sacred as the writing itself.
 The ashes from the sacred furnace are placed in sacks, the sacks are con- veyed by wagons to the sea, and there, in Mon War boat, are carried out where the tide runs swift and con- signed to the waves. The Mon War boat belongs to the Mon War Sher, which is a lodge with branches every where, organized and maintained for the purpose of paying reverence to the spirit of Confucius
 The furnace in the Chinatown which nearly every large city in the United oven-like structure, about five feet high. Opposite it on the wall there will usually be an inscription of the character of the following: "The spirits of our ancestors are pleased that we keep sacred the writing of our coun- try" The society of Mon War Sher CClub of the Beautiful Writing) is made up in each case of the prom inent denizens of Chinatown, who sup port it by voluntary subscriptions, which pay the salaries of the keeper and his assistant.

A Definite Date.
rom Lndge' s Library

From Judges Library.
 During the money stringeney lately a certain real estate man, having nothing else for his clerk to do, sent him out to collect some rent that was overdue.
 The clerk being of Swedish nationality, had their peculiar twang in his speech.
 Returning from his trip the Swede was very jubilant.
 The proprietor. noticing his smile, said: well, what luck did you have?" and the clerk answered:
 "Purty goodl We'll. Smith he pay, and Tones he say he pay in Yanuary."
 Are you sure Jones said he would pay in January? He never before has made any such promises"
 Well, I tank so. He say it bane a dam col day when you get dot money, and l tank dat bane in Yanuary.'

WHERE A BURGLAR GETS TOOLS.
Pays High Prices for Them-Some-
 times Makes Them Himself.
From Tit-Bits.

From Tit-Bits.
 Every little while. said a London de- teetive recently, the police arrest a man with a set of burglars tools in his pos sesion, and one naturally wonders where they all come from.
 It is easy to buy gun of any descrip- ton, and the most reputable person would not be ashamed to be seen purchasing the most wicked-looNing knife ever made, but who would know where to get a jimmy or a device for drilling into safe or any of the many tools used by the professional burglar in the pursuit of his calling?
 There probably are places in the large cities where these things are made an6 sold to the users, but such places are ex- ceedingly scarce. It may seem little strange to learn that most of the tools used in burglaries are made by meehan

Real Duties.


 Not even in rural agricultural com munlties is this matter of personal equation such a factor In the life of a newspaper man. In no other place does the editor sustain such intimate person. al relations and associations with his subscrib CTS. His printing office, if he be the right sort, is headquarters for any and all matters pertaining to min ing. The miner brings him the choicest specimens for his cabinet every new strike of ore finds representation in his collection. He writes letters for the untutored writes options for leases and bonds and gives many hours of his time to bringing the individual mine owner and the capitalist into closer re- lationship. In all of his dealings with the men of the mining camp he must exercise the care that secretary Of state would use in dealing with for eign power for he is dealing with proud independent, sensitive and often suspicious class of men. It will not do to publish long article about a new strike in one mine and ignore an equally new strike in adjoining property, unless he wishes to lose the friendship of the owner of the adjacent property. When a prospective investor arrives in camp he must display the impartiality of a judge on the bench in his attitude toward the various prop critics of his freinds and subscribers if he would escape the imputations of friends and subscribers.
 Again, in local politics, the editorial path Is often a devious and tortuous one beset by pitfalls, for local politics in a mining camp is largely question of individuals rather thon principles or party. The greaetst anomaly in the editorial experience is that the patrons of the paper expect him to lose no op

The same is true of riding down shaft in a cage-that Is as safe com paraiyely as riding in a skyscraper ele- Vator-bnt dropping down a wet shaft on the rim of spinning ore bucket has it's dangers as well as it's discomforts.

 The most dangerous mine In which l ever gathered news was one in which carbonic acid was was continually gen erated. The gas was blown out by means of a huge fan. As the gas
 is much heavier than the atmosphere the miners protect themselves by oc- casionally lowering a candle into 1t. The height of the gas Is indicated by the point at which the flame leaves the wick AS long as the fan and pumps work properly, there is little danger, except that a number of peo- pie constantly walking through the gas will cause it to mix SO thcklY with the atmosphere BIS to imperil l breathing. When the fan fails to work, as 1t sometimes does. then there is a rush for life to the cage.
 Another gas that sometimes inter feres with the pleasure of getting min
 ing news is sulphuretted hydrogen. If one has never smelt sulphuretted hy- drogen gas he can have little concep- ton Of the OdOr.

Necessity of Nerve.

'There comes a time. however, in the life of an editor in the mining camp when he must throw diplomacy to the winds, when he must take a stand for morality and decency. 1 have in mind an incident when a mine manager went to the local editor and asked him to aid In movement to prevent the utter de- moralization of his force of miners and mill men, They were spending their evenings in the gambling houses and saloons, and the efficiency of labor had decreased about 50 per cent. At the risk Of losing the greater part of the local patronage the editor Invoked the state law against gambling and the Sunday closing law for saloons. Despite hidden and open threats he compelled the en- forcement of these laws, and found to his surprise that his paper had bene- fted financially thereby, and that his Influence in the community had meas urably increased.

The personal altercations and 'gun-play are almost a thing of the past, but when news of this sort happens in camp the editor who fails to publish the facts fearlessly and back his course with a column-rule, or, if need be, with that characteristic weapon of the west, which makes all men equal, had better sell his paper to a less talented but nervier ed tor, for his day of influence and use fitness will be gone,

ALCOHOL CAUSES
RACE SUICIDE

Washington. March 1S.-When So
ciety women fall victims TO the drink
habit they are not 80 easily cured as
men, according to a statement made
at tonight's session OF the American
Society for the Study OF Alcohol by
D. ]. d. Quackenbos. of New York.
This. and declaration by DR.. w. s..
Hall, OF Chicago. that alcohol caused
race suicide, gave the delegates plen
ty to talk about and they made full
use of the opportunity
DR.. Quackenbos asserted that tho
women do not wish to be cured IN
most instances and are prompted to
indulge too frequently by the added
sense of pleasure they feel in the
fiattery of their admirers. DR.. Quack-
enbos emphasized this point in giving
tho small percentage OF women drink
ers who are possessed of powers OF
resistance.
His statement that he permanently
cured more. than 500 patients by the
method of hypno-suggestion after the
subjects had become asleep through
the use OF drug. aroused vigorous
protests from several prominent scien-
lists, who openly challenged its ac-
curacy.

Colonel Cooper upon reading this

The warning was delivered to Sen.

Cooper's threat had made a cessation

ATTEMPT TO STOP
THE RECALL
ELECTION
EXPECTED INJUNCTION SUIT is
FILED.
If Effort Is Unsuccessful, the Election
of George Alexander on March
26th Is Assured.
INJUNCTION SUIT is
FILED.

Los Angeles, March 19.-The ex-
pected Injunction suit to restrain the
city clerk from proceeding with tho
holding OF the recall election for may
Or ON March 26, was filed today. Those
opposed to the recall movement are
seeking to enjoin the election on tho
ground that the resignation OF Mayor
4. G.. Harper invalidated the recall,
the mayor being the individual against
whom the recall was directed.
Judge James assigned the case to
Judge Bordwells division and set next
Monday as the date for the hearing.
Judge James took no action on the
petition further than to refer It.
Tho principal ground on which the
Injunction is sought. Is that the re-
cent resignation OF A. C.. Harper, as
mayor invnlidated the recall election.
1t is set forth that tho recall was di-
rected against Harper and that the
latter's resignation coming before the
election was held removed the ren-
son for any further recall proceedings
whatever. The proponents OF the re-
call. who are backing the candidacy
of George Alexander for mayor. Will
contend vigorously against the effort
