She's n la mode ana chic
But entire nous, one 50 high born

With joy | clasp my ragged Kate
And leave that grandc dame sitting straight,

WHO GAINS MOST BY MARRIAGE?
BY Harold Owen.

AS to the comparative tribulations of the
married state, does the man who marries
give no hostages to fortune beyond those pro-
vided by his collaboration? Is it for his own
selfish creature comforts that he bolts his
breakfast, rushes for the morning train and
stews In the city-all to earn an income OF

of iur-limublc value to me. The first

was this: "Bc very careful what com

one that your words are always ohcyod.

Qucucc of his actions il always more cf-
fcctual than ono ne fcoIs is an injustice
to him. Vice versa, the same system
should he carried ont IN regard to re.
wards for good conduct. If lac is angry

proper state of mind To associate with
other people, If his behavior away from
home has not been satisfactory, dcbar

sure that he can he little gentleman
Of whom his mother may be proud. On
the other hand, if his manners are pleas
ing, allow him some special privilege

last time he accompanied you" etc.
A child thus dealt with comes To- ap-
preciate the fairness of those who con
troll him and realizes that he himself is

MRS. PATTON TO END
MYSTERY OF DEATH
Will Be Important Witness at
Inquest Over Mrs. de la
MOntanya

That the inquest into the death OF
Mrs. Lorena de la Montanya. which is
to take place at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning, will clear up much of the
mystery surrounding it is the confident
belief of the police, who are far from
satisfied with the many varying tales
told by the principal witnesses.
The fact that Mrs. w. H. Patton was
mixed up in the affair was a startling
surprise to local social circles, in which
she moved until two or three years ago.
Prior to her marriage to Patton she
was one Of the most popular of the
yunger set, being known as Maggie"
Rodrigue Patton was wealthy man,
but died when quite young a few years
after his marriage
After his death Mrs. Patton began to
absent herself from social functions,
and of late years she has lost all in
terest in them. The announcement that
she was an important witness in one
of the most sensational deaths of the
year was the first news her old friends
had Of her for some time. and it is
probable that the inquest will be at
tended by many of them.
Pending the inquest Mrs Patton re-
fused to give any further interviews
on the death of Mrs. de la Montanya.

CHARGES AUDITOR
WITH BAD FAITH
Roster Hostile to Prosecution,
Says Assistant District
Attorney
Third Refusal to Honor Paw
Warrants ROuSeS Ire of
HOff Cook

The auditor is not acting in good
faith in refusing TO sign the pay de-
maAds of Special Agent Burns and his
men, said Assistant District Attorney
William Hon Cook yesterday. The
application presented to Deputy Ma
thewson yesterday had behind it the
very procedure outlined by the auditors
office in it's objections TO the demands
refused earlier in the month The BILL
in other words. was backed by spe-
cifc ordinance of the board of super
visors, passed unanimously and signed
by the mayor. The refusal OF the au-
ditOr to approve this warrant can have
only this foundation-that that Office
is hostile to the prosecution.
I'VE have two methods OF procedure
open to u.s." continued Cook. Eve can
and will seek a writ of mandate in the
supreme court to compel the auditors
approval Of the demands. and we have
the further recourse of suing Rosters
bondSmen for the damages due to the
delay. Whether this last action will
be taken or not, 1 can not say. II is
under consideration.
For the third time the auditors Office
demands Of Burns and his men yester-
day. The first refusal. shortly after
June /. in regard to the May salaries.
preceded Judge Sturtevant's decisions
that Citizen Burke. who sought 70 stop
payment. would not be injured thereby
and further that the demands were
made out in illegal form. Left free TO
act by these Judgments. Roster held up
the demands Of his own vOlition- In
the second case. District Attorney
Langdon made out a single pay demand
for the entire sum due. which Roster
refused to honor and which was held BY
the court not directed toward the
proper fund.
Rosters third refusal OF yesterday
ran counter TO an order OF the board
OF supervisors and counter to the very
procedure which he had suggested at
the previous refusal. II was in relation
to this that Cook stated he now be-
lieved the auditor was mot acting i'm
good faith but from prejudice and
desire to hamper the work OF the dis
trict attorneys force.
