HORSE POSSESSED HUMOR.
This Smart Animal Had Its Little
Joke.

I'VE lear a lot about horse sense
said the mai who stood on the prone
made OF the Brooklyn bridge and
watched the crowded roadways, but
I'm thinking it will soon become a
memory when. the automobile holds full
sway, as 1t seems in a fair way to do.
Certainly we won't have such "a thing
as automobile sense.
II feel sorry for the horse as / see 1t
losing it's place in the world, for some
of my liveliest recollections have to do
with a horse-with a particular horse
that my boyhood knows. Funny, isn't
it, that a horse or a cat or a dog will
stick in the mind longer than some hu-
mans?
This horse was q big, black, ugly
tempered brute, which went by the
name of Old Bob. He was old when !
first knew him, and was no older ap-
parently when we parted company
after even years of more or less close
companionship. The best thing about
Old Bob was his sense Of humor.
"A horse with a sense of humor?
Surely. All horses have ordinary sense
in plenty, and once in a while you will
meet a horse with a sense of umo !
used to ride this horse when l was a
| youngster, and his sense of humor cost
me many a long and weary walk.
HE didn't mind my riding him when
I was on his back, with knots ii = In
the stirrup feathers SO that l could get
my feet in the stirrups, but he did is
best to prevent me from getting in the
saddle. OF course, l couldn't mount In
the orthodox way; it was too mucf
like mountain climbing; so / would
mount him from the top of the fence.
"Old Bob would stand peacefully by
the fence as I climbed to the top, but
IL I didn't keep tight hold of the reins
he would jerk it from my hand and
start off without me. Many's the time
he did this when l was miles away
from home.
"If you think he'd lash right home
you're mistaken. 1t wasn't that he
objected to being ridden; he simply
wanted to have his Joke.
He would run a few hundred yards
then stop and wait for q very angr,
boy to catch up. Then, just as ] about
caught UP, off would go old Bob fol
another hundred yards. I never die
catch up. until home was reached, ant
then Old Bob would allow himself to b.
unsaddled and put into his stall. witt
a CLEAN in his eye that said plainly
Fooled you hat time, didn't II
HE had another pleasant trick. II
didn't keep a tight rein when l wa
on his back, wandering under tree
whose branches were just low .enougl
to brush me off. If he failed he woul'

which had little malice in it.

COAL IN CALIFORNIA.
Total Production During 1908
Was 1875 Short Tons.

The total production of coal in Cali
fornia In 1908 vas 1871 55 short tons
having a spot value Of 1884, $40.
California is not an. important coal
producing state, but 1t is one of the
few in which the output in 1908 showed
an increase over tina of the preceding
year. All of the production was the
recent developments in new territory.
The old mines at Tesla, in Alameda
county, and at Black Diamond, in SON.
ira Costa county, were idle through
out the year. The recent developments
have been at lone, in Amador county,
and at Stone Canyon, in Monterey
county. The production in those two
counties in 1908 exceeded that of 1907
by 4,805 tons, and the increase In value
amounted to s16,627.
The coal-mining industry of Califor-
mia has been adversely affected, first,
by the importation of foreign and
better Goals, brought largely as ballast,
and, second, by the increased produc-
ton OF petroleum and its use as fuel in
manufacturing establishments. AS a
result of these conditions the produc-
ton of coal in the State had decreased
from over 10000 toni in 1900 to T7,0b0
tons in 1905. to 25, 290 tons in 1905, and
to 1880 tons In 1907. Up to the close
of 1905 all the coal mined in the State
had been of the Ignite or subbitunin.
Gus variety. During the last year, how.
ever, the development of the mines in
Stone Canyon. Monterey county, has
placed on the market q bituminous coal
of a quality adapted to compete with
the foreign Goals brought into san
Francisco market, and 1t is believed
that this will result, to some extent. in
the rehabilitation of the coal-mining
industry of the State. 1t is understood
to be the intention of the promoters
of this enterprise to cater to the do
mestic fuel trade, in which petroleum
does mo- figure as a competitor.
The production of petroleum in Cali
fornia increased from S3,O9S, sos barrels
in 1906 to $50, 74S, 1916 barrels in 1907. and
to 44,S61, 742 barrels in 1908. This enorl
nous output of crude petroleum has
almost eliminated coal as a fuel for
railroad and manufacturing
in California, where it is used almost
entirely for domestic purposes. There
is promise of additional coal supplies
from Monterey and San Benito
II transportation facilities are pro-

SOMETHING OF MEXICO'S
BANKS AND CURRENCY.
Stringent Regulations in Vogue

The new commercial life of Mexico
and the stimulus to investment OF for
eign capital followed Immediately after
the adoption, in 1904. of the gold ex-
change standard. This put Mexico In a
position where she could treat with for
eign interests on a satisfactory basis,
and 1t stopped at once the enormous
losses among importers, owing to the
unstable rates of exchange. 1t was a
common experience for h merchant In
the republic to find himself with a
handsome book profit n day and
hopelessly in debt the next, when ex-

standard was accepted and only stopped
with the panic.
Prior to the panic of 1907 the banks
in Mexico had been running into some
reckless enterprises. They were loan
ing out too much of their funds in
| mining and land ventures. The worst
feature was that bank directors were
allowing too large a proportion of their
loans to apply to companies In which
they had a personal interest. Finance

CHEAP RATES TO
KiLAUEA VOLCANO

When the lava shoots up into space
for fifty feet and keeps shooting hour
after hour and day after day it is a
sign that there is a tremendous force
below the surface of the earth No
one knows how long this condition OF
affairs will continue at Kilauea. Ordi
narily such outbreaks do not last as
long as the present one Usually there
is squirt for month and then the
bottom falls out without notice.
In the opinion of those familiar with
the antics Of Kilauea there has not
been such an exhibition for years if
ever. Fountains ali over the lake are
playing fire, shooting up stream fifty
feet continuously and the fascination
to stay at the brink and watch the
swash of the liquid fire is irresistible.
Rest houses are provided at the crater
and food is cooked over the cracks

escapes. Coffee is boiled and eggs fried

against second jeopardy in order that
an accused person might once and for

whether the court and jury reach the
right conclusion or not.

MORE REFORM


 Missouri comes to the front with something new by way of reform that invites inspection and measure of con sideration. A solon of that state pro poses an act prohibiting the entertain ment" by candidates for office of their constituents, together or singular, in any manner whatsoever calculated to influence them in the casting of their bsllots for and in favor of said candi- dates.
 This would be an altogether whole some measure, we believe, and it's enact ment would undoubtedly operate to great ultimate good, notwithstanding the grave possibility of its wyccking the careers of many statesmen primarily involved in its institution. The dis position in this country to look upon candidate for ofice as an ''easy mark is painfully evident to the most casual observers in average communities. And that which is true of the candidate be- comes doubly true of the ofiiceholder suspected of deep-laid desire to sue ceed himself. They are objects of many petty impositions; anything that may be obtained from them by means not ut terly vulgar is considered legitimate graft by 3 large proportion of their fel- low-citizens.
 From another point of view, tiis re- form will appeal to some thinkers, too. It will deprive the opulent and very wealthy candidates of one of their most effective weapons for winning over vot- CTS who think more of being "enter- tained'' than they do of putting an in telligent ballot in the ballot box on election day. There are quite a num- Der of these people, we think. They could not be bribed or bought up; no, indeed! But they can be easily "in- fiuenced" by the proper form of enter taining--and that is the point, after all.
 This proposed law, however, will never be success in the fullness of its entire possibilities unless it be fash toned to operate both ways, and also prohibit the entertainment of the candidate by any person or persons whatsoever. There would be a law with teeth in it, sure enough. If our malefactors and undesirable citizens- our plutocrats and exploiters of predat- tory wealth---could not entertain" the candidates, and the candidates could not entertain the common peo- pie, then nobody would be center tainsd' that amounted to anything, and conditions would be ideal for a fact.
 The more we think of this double back action proposition, the more we become convinced that it is something along the reform hne that ought to be encouraged. It seems to catch unideal citizens "a-gwine and a-comin We shall watch the progress of this Missouri suggestion closely It may be the thing lated to usher in the political millen- nium
