The close season on deer expires in 1911 and the Fish and Game commit tee of the General Assembly has decid- ed on all pending bills except one which provides that the cost of assess ing damages done by deer shall be paid by the state. This action is in effect a refusal to extend the close season. but the General Assembly of 1911 may pass an extension bill. An extension is not, however, expected. for deer are becoming so plentiful, particularly in IitchfieId county, as to cause much an noyance to farmers and damage to crops.

The women of the country appear to be growing excited over the increased tariff tax on stockings. From their failure to notice other tariff taxes which bear heavily upon them, one might almost conjecture that they con- template the use of stockings only as their customary attire.

1.-THE phrases Back to Christ and
Preach the gospel are current in
speech and print. There is no denomi-
national unanimity of opinion as to
what the gospel really is. The multi
pie denominations are an evidence of
this fact. That would seem to be the
best gospel and the best preaching Is
the gospel which is most effectual In
softening the bitter speech, in sweet
ening the sour disposition, in moder-
ating the harsh judgment, and, in a
word, in promoting the spirit which
inpels us to do unto others as we
would be done by.
1.-THE world never will outgrow the
Bible conception of the gospel 1t has
not outgrown the Bible conception of
God. Infinite eternal energy or the
power without ourselves that makes
for righteousness is a comparatively
poorer term for creative force than
the God of the Old Testament, who is
the Heavenly Father of the New.
"A loving God in a loving world is
the only ineligible conception of life.
The world will not outgrow the Bible
conception of men. Jesus Christ came
into a cruel and corrupt world dis
guised as a carpenter; he turned away
from the palaces of kings and mobiles,
and stretched out his hands to the bur-
den bearers of the world"

LABORER ARRESTED
FOR ROBBING GIRL
When Officer Appeared Alleged Thief
Said to Have Tried to Shoot
Him, but is overpowered
After Struggle

j. Morencey, a laborer who is alleged
TO have stolen SO from the purse OF
Miss Eta Linwood. in a house at the
corner of Sixth street and Maple ave-
nue., attempted to shoot Patrolman
Browne last night when the officer
tried to arrest the man.
1t is alleged Morencey after grabbing
the money from the woman's purse
threatened TO shoot up the house IL
anyone called an officer Miss Lin
wood succeeded in getting to a house
at 526 Maple avenue and telephoned
for an officer, and Patrolman Browne
was detailed to make the arrest
When Browne arrived Morencey
stated his willingness to accompany
the officer. and asked permission to
change his clothes, which was granted.
When he returned from his room he
fiourished a revolver, but before he
could use it Browne grappled with
him and a struggle ensued. Grasping
the hand which held the revolver,
Browne dragged his prisoner to the
street, where the fight was renewed,
but the timely appearance of other
officers prevented a possible tragedy.
At police headquarters Morencey
broke down and cried, stating he did
not steal any money and that he sup
posed police officer should show a
warrant before making an arrest.
II is said Morencey. who recently
came to Los Angeles from Canada, Is
friend of Miss Linwood, who at pres
ent is supposed to be employed at
Westlake park.
That there was trouble over money
affairs is admitted by witnesses of the
affair, also that Moreney was in an
ugly mood and freely displayed his
revolver, making threats that he would
use 1t.
Attempts to locate Miss Linwood last
night were futile, ard Morencey was
locked up at police headquarters,
booked on suspicion to await the APP
pearance of Miss Linwood who dis
appeared after notifying the police she
had been robbed.

CHAPTER Y.

The next two months were busy ones
for Brewster. Miss Drew saw him
quite as often as before the important
interview, but he was always puzzle
to her.
His attitude is changed somehow,
she thought to herself And then she
remembered that "a man who wins q
girl after an ardent suit is often like
one who runs after a street car and
then sits down TO read his paper"
In truth. after the first few days
Monty seemed to have forgotten his
competitors and was resting in the
consciousness Of his assured position
Each day he sent her flowers and con-
sidered that he had more than done
his duty. He used no small part OF
his income on the flowers, but in this
case his mission was almost forgotten
in his love for Barbara.
Monty's attitude was not due TO any
waning of his affection, but to the

CHAPTER TX.

II is best not to repeat the express
sions Brewster used regarding one S.
Jones after reading this telegram.
But he felt considerably relieved after
he had uttered them. He fell to read
ing accounts of the big prize fight
which was to take place in San Fran
cisco that evening. He reveled in the
descriptions Of upper cuts" and left
hooks" and learned incidentally that
the affair was to be quite one sided.
A local amateur was to box a cham
pion. Quick to see an opportunity and
cajoling himself into the belief that
Swearengen Jones could not object to
such display Of sportsmanship,
Brewster made Harrison book several
good wagers on the result. He inti-
mated that he had reason to believe
that the favorite would lose. Harrison
soon placed $4,000 on his man. The
young financier felt SO sure Of the re-
suit that he entered the bets on the
profit side of his ledger the moment he
received Harrison's report
This done, he telephoned to Miss
Drew She was not insensible to the
significance of his inquiry if she would
be in that afternoon. She had observ-
ed in him Of late a condition Of un-
easiness, supplemented by moroseness
and occasional periOGS of irascibility.
Every girl whose occupation in life is
the study Of men recognizes these
symptoms and knows how TO treat
them. Barbara had dealt with many
men afflicted in this manner, and the
| futter of anticipation that came with
| his urgent plea to see her was temper
ed by experience. 1t had something Of
| joy in it, for she cared enough for
| Montgomery Brewster to have made
her anXiOusly uncertain Of his state of
mind. She cared. indeed, much more
| than she intended to confess at the
outset.
1t was nearly half past when he
came, and for once the philosophical
Miss Drew felt little irritation. So
certain was she of his object in COM
| ing that his tardiness was a trifle ruff
fling. He apOlOgized for being late
and succeeded in banishing the pique
| that possessed her. 1t was naturally
| impossible for him to share all his
secrets with her, and that is why he
did not tell her that Grant & Ripley
had called him up TO report the receipt
Of telegram from Swearengen Jones
in which the gentleman laconically
said he could feed the whole state OF
Montana for less than $4,000. Beyond
that there was no comment. Brewster
in dire trepidatiOn FASTENED to the Of
flee Of his attorneys. They smiled
when he burst in upon them.
Good heavens" he exclaimed

thought he would be reasonable"
He evidently has seen the newspa-
per accounts of your dinner and this
is merely his comment" said Mr.. Rip
ley.
IT'S either warning or else he's
ambiguous in his compliments
growled Brewster disgustedly.
Il don't believe he disapprOved. Mr.
Brewster. In the west the old gentle
man is widely known as a wit"

answer from me. Have you a tele-

Hen On a Wooden Leg.

A great attraction in the yard OF
John A. Breen Of Belleville, n. j., says
the New York Press, is hen with a
wooden leg. Breen Is the surgeon who
grated a clothespin on the crippled
fowl. The only trouble is that when the
hen scratches for food she goes around
and around in a circle, with the wood
en- leg serving as a pivot. Finally,
the hen gets dizzy, falls down and can
not get up again until Breen or
member of his family goes to the res
cue. Many of the young chickens in
the Breen yard hop on the back Of the
peg-legged hen as she goes around and
around, and enjoy all the thrills OF a
merry-go round ride at Coney Island
or Brighton.
Breen observed a week ago that one
of his hens had a broken leg. He
caught her, got 'clothespin," split IL
in half and splintered the broken leg
Of the fowl with the skill Of a surgeon.
Then he turned her loose. That day
the hen had a bad time Of It. Next day
she became cross and quarrelsome,
fought everything that came along,
and when the peg leg hit the other
chickens on the side Of the head and
knocked them out they did not know
what to make Of it. On the third day
Breen saw the wooden-legged hen up
on the fence balancing herself on the
-. eli III 80 ff0hf-
rope walker and trying to crow.

JOHN BURNS.-To look down from
one Of the galleries on John Burns
sitting on the treasury bench is to see
apparently an old man. The hair is
almost snow white; the forehead pale,
spreading and deeply lined; his move
ments as he adjusts his eyeglasses
and reads over his official papers are
leisurely and might even seem IA
tigued. But wait a moment. Wait
till he lifts his face and you catch
glimpse of his great, brown, clear,
burning eyes Or wait till he rises to
address the house, electrical alertness
speaking from every gesture, from
the very poise Of his body power and
passion in his voice, his whole bear
ing eager, defiant, welcoming the COM
bat. Or see him again on the terrace
outside-a thick, square man, In a
blue REFER suit, his head thrown
massively back, tramping up and
down with free and swinging stride.
You would not then think him old.
Still less would you think so If you
walked with him through the streets
or parks, among his own people, CIV
ing and exchanging salutations, pat
ting a youngster on the head, helping
to fish out a ball that has fallen into
the Serpentine, showing a boy how to
handle a cricket bat, skipping over
the ropes with the girls, congratulate
ing the mothers, jesting with the po-
licemen, the very picture Of zest
health and jollity. The workmen
know him and love him. They recog-
nize in him the biggest man that their
class in England has yet produced.
And John Burns knows them and
loves them in return and uses both
his knowledge and his affection to re-
buke, chastise them and make them
elevate themselves. Himself nom
smoker and a total abstainer, he nev-
er shirks from rubbing in his convic-
ton that there Is little the govern
ment can do for the workingman COM
pared with what the workingman can
do for himself. No man has spoken
out more strongly against drink and
betting. No man has insisted more
trenchantly that social and industrial
reform must begin with the individ-
ual.-Harper's Weekly.

Ready For an Emergency.

A show of force is often the best
kind OF diplomacy. A writer in LIE
Temps tells a story of the French ad-
miral, Dupetit- -Thouars. who had been
intrusted with the mission Of exacting
reparation from an African Bey, who
had insulted a French consul.
AS Dupetit- -Thouars's demands were
supported by the forcible argument of
loaded cannon, the Bey acknowledged
that he had been too hasty, and prof
fered profuse apologies. He even in
vited the admiral to his table, and had
sumptuous repast prepared for his
guest.
The consul warned the admiral to be
on his guard.
THE Bey is inclined to be malicious
said he, "and when he strokes his beard
and smiles, you may be sure that he is
concocting some mischief"
I'VE shall see" was Dupetit-T Thou
ars's reply.
He reached the Bey's palace in good
time. Profuse compliments and salu-
tations were exchanged. All at once
the admirars foot met some soft,
hairy substance lying on the carpet
under the table He bent down and
saw huge lion showing his formidable
teeth. The Bey smiled, and stroked his
| beard.
Dupetit- -Thouars did not vince, but
called his dragoman.
MY pistols" was all he said.
The servant saluted, retired, and
| brought back a pair Of pistols on sill
yer tray. The admiral took them and
placed them on the table before him.
But the Bey, still smiling. continued to
stroke his patriarchal beard.
Tell the commander" he said to the
dragoman, that If those pistols are for
the purpose of blowing out my lions
brains. they are quite insufficient and
perfectly useless"
Then, like a skilled fencer countering
his opponents thrust. after the Bey's
ironical advice had been translated
Dupetit- -Thouars replied:
Tell his highness that my pistols are
not there to kill his lion, but to blow
his own brains out at the first move
ment Of this Objectionable carpet"
Gravely, but little pale, the man
interpreted.
The smile died away on the Bey's
lips, and he no longer stroked his
| beard.
my lion," said he, SIS too we'll train
ed even to scratch one OF my guests
but since he Is not wanted he shah be
sent away"
At a word from the Bey, the lion
slowly and heavily left the room. like
an obedient dog.-Youths Companion
