shows aggregate liabilities of SI2, co.,
Oh, compared with S14,7OS, 1913 for the
corresponding month a year ago There
was larger number of failures than in
May, but the aggregate of liabilities was
smaller than for any previous month of
the current year. Here is a negative
evidence of business improvement. There
are positive evidences in various direc-
tons, and there is the hopeful outlook
for the grain crops. Just wait till Con-
gress finishes with the tariff law, and see
business rise up, stretch itself, and strike
into brisk pace.

Kodama Ocamateu, a Japanese explar-
er, is on the way to Australia, where he
will establish a base of operations hav-
ing the attainment of the south pole
in view. He has had considerable expert
ence in the Antartic, and his prospective
effort has the financial support of promi-
small eater, as has been shown by the
remarkable endurance of the japanese
soldiers in the war with Russia, ON short
rations. and as Lieut.. Shackleton's fail
ure was due to the exhaustion of his
food supply, Kodama Ocamateu may by
carrying meals in his vest pocket be able
to advance the flag of his nation to the
very pole.

BOYS FIGHT WITH AN EAGLE.
Bird Held Him Prisoner in Tree Until
Rescued by Companions.

NSNuSu Wy WIN PohlOuS.
Harry Davis. a 14-year-old boy who
resides on Petaluma avenue in this city.
had fierce fight with a young Rocky
Mountain bald eagle on Puerto Suello
hill. East San Rafael.
The boy was out hunting SQUIRRELS
with party of boys and while walking
along a rocky point he noticed three
large birds engaged in a fierce battle.
He finally ascertained that two of the
birds were chicken hawks and the large
bird was an eagle. After the eagle had
finally beat his adversaries until they
retired from the field the exhausted bird
ahShted on a rock near the young MINI
rod. A shot from his rifle wounded the
bird and it flew to the top of a large
pine tree.
In his excitement Davis scrambled up
the tree in search of his prize. At a
point fifty feet from the ground the
young hunter attacked the wounded
eagle with small branch of a tree. The
eagle resented the attack and made vi
cious lunges at him. With one stroke of
its claw it almost tore the boys coat
from his back. But young Davis was
game and fought the bird at the risk of
his own life. The bird succeeded in get
ting below the boy and thus holding him
prisoner in his lofty perch.
Finally one of his boy companions car
ried his gun to within reaching distance.
with the result that a well directed hui,
let settled the question of supremacy
between the eagle and the young hunter.
The boy, who escaped with a few
bruises, brought the eagle to San Rafael.
where it was measured and found TO
reach feet inches from tip to tin.
This is the first eagle that has been seen
or killed in this vicinity for many wears.

In New York the street cars are being
reprinted in widely different hues-car-
mine, blue, green, yellow and drab. The
object is to give distinctive color to
every car identified with a particular
thoroughfare. The system has been tried
in Milwaukee, at times, and has worked
well. 1t is great deal easier to see
the color of car at distance than to

The One Coffee Brown Diamond.

''The only genuine brown coffee dia-
mond known to exist in the world is in
the possession of Mrs. e. A. Montgom-
cry of San Francisco, CAL" said Louis
S. Ehrmann. a diamond broker of New
York. at the New Willard, says the
Washington Post. The diamond is a
magnificent stone. 1t is 3A carats in
weight, and Mrs. Montgomery has re-
fused many offers for it, ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000 In its own case,
for rarity and beauty, it ranks with the
famous Canary diamond, which IS val
ued at S250000. The life of an Indian
prince to whom the stone formerly be-
longed was saved by an Englishman'
and so great was his gratitude that he
at once took the ring from his finger and
placed it on the hand of his preserver.
The Englishman at that time was
wealthy and lived in Australia. Later
the Englishman lost his fortune. and he
sold the ring to a friend of Mrs. Mont
gomery's father, with the understand
ing that it was to be redeemed within
five years. Whether the Englishmah
died. or what became of him Is not
known. but he never redeemed the
stone -

The Medical Record contains an inter
esting article by DR.. l.. Duncan Buckley
Of New York. in which he attributes the
popular exaggerated fear of leprosy to
''such books as Ben Hur.'" But ben
Hur" conveys no ghastlier impression of
the disease than does the Bible, from
which probably Gen. Wallace took his
cue. Wherever the popular dread orig
mated, it was not founded on observation
of the effects of the disease upon persons
in this country. DIR. Buckley inclines to
the theory that the human race may
have become largely immune TO the
germs of the disease in the course of gen
erations-and this is probably true.

The difference between the Shah of
Persia and his people has been that they
have been for popular government as
prescribed in the new Persian Constitu-
while he has been only ostensibly for
abandonment of absolutism, and really
insistent upon having his own way in
everything and allowing the people their
own way in nothing. He is trying the
old Stuart game of promising everything
and yielding nothing. That turned out
TO be in the end a losing game for the
Stuarts. 1t will prove losing game
for the Shah.

The offer of a reward of $500 for the
capture of Leon Ling, wanted for the
murder of Elsie Siegel, which is made
by the Six Companies of San Francisco,
must be set down as indicating that
there are Cinnamon anxious to cooper
ate with the officers of the law in the
effort to bring to justice miscreants of
their race who have perpetrated crime.
Yesterday came a telegram from Buda
Pesth, Hungary, asserting that the police
of that city had received information
that Ling was there, and had instituted
a search to discover him. The telegram
might well be placed on file with the re-
port of the recovery of drowned body
in New York city believed to be that of
Leon Ling. The police of New York
admit that they have no settled theory
as to the mystery of the murder, and
throw out the suggestion that Mrs. Sigel,
the mother of the dead girl, may be the
only person who can fully explain il.
Mrs Sigel is now in sanitarium, where
she was placed soon after the discovery
of her daughters dead body in the trunk
in Ling's room. They attach importance
to the statement of an aunt of Elsie
that the girl was to have married Il
young white man, and that her Chinese
suitors killed her because of jealousy
engendered on that account. More than
a month has elapsed since the day when
Elsie disappeared and when the muir
der is supposed to have been com
mitted. The detectives seem no nearer
clearing up the mystery now than they
We're when the trunk was opened and
was found TO contain the body of the
murdered girl.

The adventure Of Lee Boiselle, the rail-
way brakeman who mounted a friends
motorcycle at North Fond du Lac, and,
after starting it, found he could not
stop it, constituted a modern version of
John Gilpin's Ride" Boiselle tried all
the levers he could find; but discovered no
way by which he could bring the ma
chine to a stop or even check it. On
the contrary, one of the levers he
touched accelerated the speed to thirty
miles an hour. Finally he reached the
philosophical conclusion that, as he
could not stop it, the best course would
be to let it keep ON and guide it as
well as he could, keeping the road. At
Oshkosh policemen waved their clubs at
him. but he whizzed through the town
and nobody was hurt. Like the Admiral
of the Ocean Sea-" in Joaquin Miler's
poem, he SAILED on, and on, and on, and
on" About a mile north of Neenah the
gasoline gave out, and the motor stopped
of its own accord. The next time that
Boiselle entrusts himself and his for
tunes to an automatic vehicle, he win
study its mechanism before he starts.

A LIVELY
ROW over
TAXATION
LIMITED rREas LEASED wfRn.l


Los Angeles, Cal. Sept 13.-"The
cards were marked, and had been
marked a long time" was the expla-
nation of the recent action of the
state board of equalization effecting
a general raise of property valNa-
tion throughout Southern California,
as vouchsafed by Assessor Hopkins,
of this county. who has returned
from the capital.
"There wasn't bit of use to reg
lister a protest in the face of that
board" continued the irate official
"We had about as much chance
as a farmer up against a pea game. :"
That Hopkins fully intends to ig-
more the valuations announced for
this county by the board. was recog-
nized by the following statement.
made soon after his arrival in this
city last evening:
'T shall continue to spread my as
sessment lists on the basis of values
as / see them SO far a I am con-
cerned there will be no raise, and as
suredly no raise OF 40 per cent. /
intend TO do my duty as assessor or
this county, regardless of what the
board at Sacramento may do"
Hopkins was questioned as to the
probable results OF the procedure he
declares he is determined TO follow.
He replied, laconically:
''If IL be treason. they can make
the most OF II. Equity is 20 be my
sole guide, and I am going ahead
with my work. just as II the state
board had never met. and chuckled
over its power over this section OF
California"

GAINESVILLE, Wis. He came into prominence
a year ago because of his writing q play,
"A Woman of the West" He was at one
time leading man for Modjeska. and It
was the devoted Catholic actress who
urged him to give his talent to the church.
Miss Ruth Sullivan has attended Temple
Baptist Bible school, Washington, d. c.,
for ten years without missing a Sunday
and this fact was emphasized recently by
$50 of her friends, who complimented her
with a dinner given in the banquet hall Of
the church. After the banquet a gold
locket was presented to Miss Sullivan by

Manly rrninInr for Girls.

Our training of girls approaches close to
the idiotic, claims Katharine Eggleston in
the woman's Home Companion for June.
The average girl, from the minute she
leaves her dolls to go to kindergarten, till
she matriculates at college, is told about
men and mems work-never about women,
The kindergarten songs and tales are about
Lincoln and Washington-and even the pic
lures Of animals show the lion and forget
the lioness. In older childhood she is
taught to build sand forts instead Of good
old-fashioned mud pies, and ever the sums
in arithmetic dwell on "Billy's' marbles
and Johns apples. to the total neglect
of his sister.
Later stiIl she goes TO high school and
learns history with all It's ideals OF brave
men-and here again the womRn's share
Of quiet courage is completely over
Swallowed. she learns carpenterlng, al
though she cannot cook an egg or sew a
seam. And finally, her education finished,
she knows all about the higher mathe-
matlcs and is short-chansed by the
butcher. She learns political economy, but
doesn't know who are the members of her
own school board. Miss Eggleton's bright
article concludes;
IF your boy wanted to be a lawyer,
and a neighbor told you 70 put him 10
work in a carpenters shop by way OF prep
aration, you would think your neighbor
crazy. But you do not consider yourself
crazy when you train your daughter, who
pis to be a wife and mother (and nothing
can get away from the grim statistics that
women DO marry, despite economic indie
pendence, the higher education and all
other arguments In favor OF co-educa-
tion), precisely as you train your son,
who will enter some profession or trade,
there to first earn his own living, and
then to provide for a family yet unborn
The one to bear the family and TO rear It,
the other TO provide shelter and comfort
for the mother OF that family, and yet bott
trained precisely in the same way"
