ployment with Mendoza as a tortilla
maker in his restaurant at OFarrell
and Steiner streets. He fell in love
with her. and after brief period sue

The women on the car stopped their
tittering and looked Mortified. Not
knowing that the arbiter elegantiarum
of San Francisco society was the inn
precator they believed the explosion to
be bad form, so they blushed. Had
they known. you know, it would have
been all right. A r.ral clergyman on
the dummy clapped his hands over his
ears
declared that he was going to report
the cobblestone incident to j. B. Stet-
son. his friend
The gripman was edited.
When the car reached the Fairmont
hotel Greenway limped off, giving the
gripman . the further intimation of
what he was going to tell his friend
]. B. Stetson.
Greenway limped over to the coping
around the Mason street grass plot of
the hotel. Patiently he raised his in
jured limb to the coping. He revised
his trousers upward and his socks
downward and displayed bruised ahd
confused area of leg, for the edifcation
of the tittering tourists on the streetcar
They thought such an exhibition was
faux pas, or something equally inn
modest. Poor dears, they didn't knew
that it was the proper thing to do

Michigan lumbermen, and yesterdays
purchase is the first of large number
which the syndicate expects to make
in California.
Sale Made for Cash
The sale was on a cash basis and
the Michigan people have in view a
scheme of development which will
call for vast outlay OF money A
railroad is to be constructed from the
timber belt to Valley Point, a distance
of 40 miles. The line will be extended
later to Stockton, where it will con-
meet with the Southern Pacific Mills
are to be constructed at once and
big corps of men will take the field
before the end of the month.
The tract was bought from the Big
Trees company, a concern composed of
San Francisco. Stockton and French
capitalists. The largest stock holders
are: John Raggio of the Commercial
bank of Stockton: T c. Tognazzini.

of San Francisco; H. S. Blood capi-
talist of Calaveras county; Henry
Brunner, president of the French
American bank OF Paris, and F. j..

feet bringing the total price to

Arbiter of Smart Set Uses Lam
guage That StartIes Passen-
gers on Cable Car

Edward NJ. Greenway, arbiter elegan-
tarium and other things like that,
isn't much given to streetcar rides-he
rather prefers the cushioned luxury OF
an automobile-but j. B. Stetson is a
friend of his, and Greenway be-
lieves. in patronizing a friend once
in while. So last Wednesday he de-
cided to help Stetson along by riding
on Stetsons California street railway
line. He got on down near the foot of
California street and exchanged a
nickel for seat on the dummy. He
sat among a crowd of other passengers,
but Greenway is a good fellow, even
though he is arbiter, etc.
Now in California street between
Dupont and Stockton some of Stetson's
hired men were fixing the roadbed, re-
placing cobblestones AS the fated
car on which Greenway was riding
passed the sons of toll and industry
one of the huskies made a wild throw
of a cobblestone and the granite for
nation sped from the callous hand of
labor and landed kerplunk against the
shin of the arbiter making a percep-
tible dent The throw was accidental
There was a litter from the crowd on
the car, not that they knew who their
fellow passenger was, but simply be-
cause it is always funny to see hu-
man being (not oneself) struck by a
deadly weapon.
But the litter did not come from the
throat of Greenway. That is not the
Green-way. Instead Edward NJ
clenehed his formidable fist and shook
it with vehemence and menace in the
direction of the blue shirted Athenian
who had inadvertently hurled the

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans we're
great admirers of health and strength:
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
oats is the best because it is pure. no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store, buy the regular size pack
ages; If not near the store buy the

ATTACKS TURNER'S STORY
Mcclure Article on New York White
Slave Traffic

New York, Oct. 2S.-One man who
conducted George Kibbe Turner
through the east side last winter de-
clares that the magazine writer did
no find, on that trip, anything to war
rant him in painting IN such black col
ors the east side d. cling academies
in his story, "A PLAIN Story of the
White Slave Trade Under Tammany
Rule in the current number of Nc
Cures.
Mr.. Turner, on the other hand, from
out in Wisconsin, wired to this that
an effort is being made to lessen the
influence of the story by attacking
him. He says the evidence on which
his story was based is easily access
ible and cites some of it.
The east side guide of Mr. Turner
for one night, who is now attacking
the Turner story, is Thomas j. Long
secretary of the Dancing Masters
Protective association of Greater New
York. He has an academy at Third
avenue and l45 street. His name and
address were easily obtained, he says,
because committee appointed to
look into the amusements and vaca-
ton resources of working girls inves-
tigated 204 dancing academies in the
city, and reported that his was a mod
ell. This report was sent to Gov.
Hughes and by him was referred to
the New York State immigration Com
mission
Mr. Long says in "a long affidavit
that on December 20, 1908 Mr.. Turner
appeared at his academy, introduced
himself as an investigator represent
ing McClure's and made an appoint
ment for Mr.. Long to show him
around among the east side dancing
academies on Saturday night, Decem.

NO GRADUATES NEED APPLY
Discrimination Made Against Cores
pondence Schools in "Heip Wanted"

Discrimination Made Against Cores
pondence Schools in "Heip Wanted"
One of the jokes of the age in BUSH
ness and educational fields is the new
method of turning out lawyers, en-
gineers, advertising writer's and bus
mess experts generally by mail in
six weeks to three months time.
Il will double your salary in three
months" is the constantly reiterated
claim of one Of these Clipped twenti-
eth-century made-to-order educational
lists
The idea on the face of it, smacks
50 strongly of quackery that few bus
mess men of standing have so far
been induced to subscribe to it, and
the correspondence school graduate
finds, therefore, that his rapidly ac-
CURED knowledge often works out as
a positive detriment rather than as a
business asset-a detriment very sue
cinctly expressed in the following
phrase now so often embodied in
Help Wanted" advertisements.
mo correspondence school gradu-
ate need apply"
Perhaps the most fragrant abuse is
the claim to be able to equip young
men with what is alleged to be a com
plete and satisfactorily practical
knowledge of the ways and means of
all kinds of advertising.
The business itself is described as
one very easy to master, the most i'm
portant feature, in fact, in the acquire
ment of a working knowledge of the
principles of the profession being ac-
cording to the mail order educational
list, the payment of the tuition for the
course. The rest is easy. An hours
study a week, and in three months the
student is ready to direct a 81 100000
campaign for any advertiser.
The correspondence courses of
course, are painfully superficial and
yet, Astounding in pseudo technical
terms and some few fundamental
principles, they inspire the student,
hitherto possessed of no special know
ledge and therefore, unable to dis
criminate between theory and prac-
tice, between raw principles and APP
piled knowledge with an undue and,
to an experienced business man, IN
tOlerable sense of his own importance
and ability.
1t IS not what you know, but what
you can do with what you know, that
counts most in the business world to-
day.
Aside from the exaggeration in
claims that the correspondence school
makes as to the knowledge and spec
ial equipment with which II fits out
its students. how about the disappoint-
ed and discouraged working and lab
oring men who, after paying their
hard-earned savings to enroll in these
schools. are Obliged to eventually give
up in disgust after the first few les
sons are written, only TO discover,
from their experience with those
schools and the fashion in which the,
live UP to their advertised claims that
the road to hell is paved with gooo
Those who have studied know that
education is not an easy nut to crack
and that the reward, instead Of being
as these advertising SEN
satiOnaists claim. is far away indeed
and that a bricklayer can often make
a living easier than a doctor, lawyer
n newspaperman.-Newspaperdom
