Quite Unexpected.

Twill you please carve the turkey, Mr..
Grizzly?" asked the landlady.
Mr.. Grizzly, a malevoient scowl showing
on his forehead, picked up the carving
knife as a warrior seizes the sword and
attacked the fowl. Slice after slice of
the juicy white meat fell away as though
1t were sno yielding to the breath of
early spring. Joints came apart as easily
as a child's blok-house is knocked down.
Mr.. Grizzly began to puff and pant. A
strange look of bewilderment came into
his eyes.
The cranberry sauce came on the table.
1t was perfect. It did not, as had been
expected, have the thickness and stringi-
ness of glue. Mr.. Grizzly was breathing
hard. And SO it went through all the
dinner, and when at last he failed to
find a hair pin and two or three marbles
in the mince pie, he turned white as a
sheet and fell to the floor. Physicians
were summoned and labored over him for
hours. When at last he returned to con-
seriousness, he muttered:
Fourteen years in a boarding house,

IF you want the best Thanksgiving
pumpkin pie you ever tasted buy the

look beautiful, but the small red ones

SAN QUENTIN, March 11-The exist

trips to the county courthouse, has just

There are lawyers in plenty in San
Quentin prison and it was their learn
ing which was put to use in forming
the club. Each convict was to make
application for a writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that he was being de-
prived of his liberty contrary to the
section of the constitution prohibiting
slavery. The members of the club had
no idea that their applications would
be considered, but the court hearings
would mean one or more free trips to
San Rafael for each of the men.
The man who made the initial move
in behalf of the club was Alfred Wells.

Now. what is it that you believe h'

"As president Of the company, be-

Cameron insisted that though he had
an opinion it would not influence hin

juror. Moreover. he said that he would
distrust any testimony which might be

JUDGE STOPS EXAMINATION
Joseph e. Clark, a carpenter of 1853
/ Eleventh avenue, was the juror who
was passed to the box without chal-
lenge. He said that he had no opinion
concerning the guilt or innocence OF
the defendant and thought that the
subject of immunity was one for the
district attorney to decide and none OF
his own business.
CHOCKER ENGINEER EXCUSED
John w. Carter, employed as chief
engineer for the Crocker estate. was
excused on the challenge of the prose-
cution, which was resisted by the de-
Tense. Edward Carville and Jonas 7.
Callahan expressed decided opinions as
TO the guilt or innocence of the defend
ant and were excused without protest
and Theodore n. Clough was allowed
to go by consent because his name did
not appear on the assessment roll.
Hersey A. Clifford, a real estate
dealer OF 224 Clipper street, expressed
views that were entirely unique among
those that have been developed in the
examination of jurors in the present
trial. He looked at the case from q
socialistic standpoint and declared
most vehemently that the legal system
was AL wrong"
BELIEVES BRIBES WE'RE pam
His opinion on the graft cases was
a general one and did not attach to the
particular case on trial, yet he said he
did not doubt that the supervisors were
bribed in the trolley matter.
Mr. Calhoun were convicted or
acquitted or anything else" he said
somebody else would step right in and
do 1t over again. The law does NOT
erect any remedy for the evil"
Do You think that changing it to
the socialist system would stop all
crime?" asked Heney.
Yes, do" was the answer
persisted the prosecuting attorney.
No. was the response, "but it would
give us all little sunshine
SOCIALIST is EXCUSED
Clifford was challenged by the de-
fense and was excused, although the
challenge was temporarily denied by
the prosecution.
Hugh M. Cochrane. an officer of
various lumber companies. believed
that Calhoun was held up if he paid q
bribe to the supervisors. He was chaI-
