Be Patient with the Boy.

| have a profound respect for
boys. Grimy, ragged, tousled boys
in the streets often attract me
strangely. A boy is a man in CO.
coon-you don't know what he is
going to become-his life is big with
many possibilities. He may make
or unmake kings, change boundary
lines between states, write books
that will reyolutiOnize the COM
merce of the world.
Wouldn't you like to turn time
backward and see Abraham Lincoln
a pair of boots? The lank, lean,
yellow, hungry bOy-hungry for
love, hungry for learning, tramping
off through the woods for twenty
miles to borrow book, sBd spelling
it out, crouched before the glare
of the burning logs,
Then there was that CoFsiean
boy, one of a goodly brood, who
weighed only fifty pounds wheH ten
years old; who was thin and pale
and peryeEse, and had tantrums and
had TO be sent supperless to bed
or locked in dark closet because
he wouldn't mind" Who would
have thought that he would have
mastered every phase of warfare at
twenty,six; and when told that the
exchequer of France was in dire
confusion would say, "The finances;
l will arrange them"
Very distinctly and wildly | re-
member a slim, freckled boy, who
was born in the Patch" and used
to pick up coal along the railroad
tracks in Buffalo. A few months
ago had q motion to make before
the supreme court, and that boy
from the Patch" was the judge
who wrote the opinion granting my
petition.
Yesterday l rode horseback past
a field where a boy was blowing.
The lads hair stuck out through
the top of his hat, his form was
bony and awkward; one suspender
held his trousers in place; his bare
legs and arms were brown and sun
burned and briar-scarred He swung
his horses around just as | passed
by, and from under the tapping
brim of his hat he cast a quick
glance out of dark, half bashfuI
eyes, and mOdestly returned my sa-
lutte When his back was turned l
took off my hat and sent a God bless
you down the furrOw after him.
Who knOws?-I may go to that boy
to borrow money yet, or to hear
him preach, or to beg him to de-
fend me in a lawsuit, or he may
stand with pulse unhastened, bare
arm, in white apron, ready to do
his duty, while the cone is placed
over my face, and Night and Death
come creeping into my veins
Be patient with the boys-you
are dealing with sOul-stuff. Des-
tiny waits just around the corner

TO TAKE CENSUS OF MExICo.
President Diaz and Other Prominent
Men to Assist.

The unusual and probably I'M
precedented sight of the president of
a republic takeing an active part in
the work of taking the census of his
country will be witnessed when the
next census of Mexico is taken. Ac-
cording to the Mexican Herald,
President Diaz and other prominent
government officials will take the
census in their immediate neighbor-
hoods, i norder to awaken a general
pride and interest in the matter of
securing an exact enumeration of
the population of the republic. The
Herald says:
The central committee on census
work appointed by the local author
tiles to Draw plans for the taking
of the census in the federal district
has completed arrangements for
making an accurate estimate of the
inhabitants of the capital and out
lying towns and has decided to ap-
point prominent persons in every
town to take down the names of res
idents personally to preclude the
possibility of any names being left
off the lists.
I'm former years it has been the
experience of census takers that
large majority of the natives re-
fused to give the names of all the
members of their household for fear
that they might be recruited in the
army The government has decided
to appoint prominent persons as
census takers in order that the ac
tual number of inhabitants of the
republic may be secured within
close margin of accuracy.
President DiaZ will personally
take the census of the block on the
north side of Gale de Cadena where
he lives; members of the cabinet
will perform similar duty in their
respective neighborhoods; the arch
bishop of Mexico will take the cen
sus of population in his own quar-
ters and an effort will be made to
have all prominen citizens accept
the appointment for their neighbOr-
hoods generally in order that conf
dence may be inspired among the
natives and the figures may be as
accurate as possible.
But in the interior of Mexico an
uphill task is in store for the au-
thorities, as the majority is bent
upon thwarting the census work, be-
ing formed of illiterate poems and
farm labOrers who are still afraid of
compulsory military service"

RANGERS WILL ENFORCE
LAW IN SAN ANTONIO.
Gambling VIII Be Suppressed BY
Thei Aid If Necessary.
San Antonio Express.

San Antonio Express.
Every ranger in the state. de-
clared Assistant District Attorney
Chambers, in prosecuting a gaming
case in Justice Umscheid's court
yesterday morning, will be called
to San Antonio if necessary to put
an end to gambling in this city.
There can be no doubt about the
law on this subject" asserted the
assistant district attorney, land you
need have no doubt that the state of
Texas is going to have the law en-
forced. Rangers will be sent here
as often as they are needed, and
they will make arrests wherever
they find violations of the law.
On the evidence presented, the
defendant, D. TrevinO, was found
guilty of entering and remaining in
a place where gambling was going
on, and was given the minimum
penalty for that offense, $25 and
costs. The jury was out but a few
minutes.
Only in the D. Trevino case of
all the fifteen booked as the result
of the raid August II by State
Rangers did the defense make any
serious effort in its own behalf
Even in that case the defense in
troduced no testimony. In the P
Trevino case, disposed of yesterday
morning, and the D. Moreno case,
Friday afternoon, the defense made
no argument Notice of appeal was
given in all three cases, and the de-
cisive fights on them will take place
next fall in the county court.

GOOD PANTOMIME
AT THE AUDITORIUM
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD" is
LIVELY SPECTACLE
Organ Accompaniment Proves a De-
cided Success in Spectacular Mu-
sicaI roduction-Chorus
Work Impressive

Two wicked bandits, later repentant;
a very bad Mephistopheles, a we'll
trained wolf and a charming Red Rid
ing Hood, with an agile and ambitious
chorus combine tomake the pantomime
at the Auditorium this week an unusu-
ally pleasing and diverting spectacle. In
scenic effects and coStuming the per-
formance is far more pretentious than
the preceding Cinderella and much
more creditable. The chorus work is
much better and the singing far su-
perior to that of the opening production
The same pantomime is nightly pack
in the Essex theater, in Drury lane,
and it is difficult to imagine that in
scenic effects at least the London pro-
duction is superior to the Auditorium
performance. The ballet still is a tri-
1e amateurish, but the principals are
good, the costumes are new and gorge
GUS, the stage business is well man
aged. The performance deserves far
better patronage than it is receiving.
Miss Olga Stech is a dainty and fas-
cinating Red Riding Hood, and shows
clearly that she can sing and act as
we'll as dance. The two robbers, i'm
personated by Walter Reed and Roscoe
Arbuckle, jingle the bells throughout
their foolery and are just about fool
ish enough to be really diverting. There
are a number of good musical numbers,
brought out admirably by the organ
accompaniment of Gordon Kingsley,
and several good chorus ensembles. The
present most urgent need of the pro-
duction is a less nervous spotlight man
The present man behind the calcium
handles it so shiftily that the audience
forgets about the play in watching for
the glare.

Alpine street, when the occupants OF
each of ten rooms simultaneously de-
tected his room was on fire. All rushed
from the burning building early yes
terday morning, clad onlyNin their night

The fire is thought to have been OF
an incendiary origin and the work OF
a former boarder. An alarm was turned
In and the fire department responded
quickly and soon extinguished the
flames. The damage to the building and
contents is estimated at $780,
The fire was first detected by the pro-
prietor in his room. He rushed into
the hallway to telephone the fire de-
partment and met other roomers who
had been awakened by the sitting
smoke. Each said their room was
ablaze.
The matter was reported to the po-
lice and an investigation will be made
Marakich gave the officers an excellent
description Of the man he believes Is
responsible for the fire.
It is believed oil from a f1ve-galIon
can was sprinkled about the house
and the man hurried from one room tc
another. setting each spot on fire and
then made his escape before the blaze
had gained much headWay.

september. She was born in Toronto
and has played three years in America
With Blanche Bates and with the No. 3
company of 1.-THE Man of the Hour"
The news Of her wedding was a sur
prise to her friends, as the secret of
her engagement to Mr.. Ray had been
carefully guarded.
Mr.. Ray, who is the son Of wealthy
Duluth manufacturer, has been with
the Lewis S. Stone company several
months. His present engagement is
his first stage experience and he has

big automobile has played an important
part in the wooing which reached an
exciting climax in Monday night s
run to Santa Ana. After the perform
ance Monday night the bride found
the machine waiting in front, with
Ray at the steering wheel. Eluding the
other members of the company, she
slipped out the side passage way, and
by IL o'clock the couple was on its
way to Santa Ana. The first accident
occurred at midnight, when a stretch
of muddy road brought the car to a
sudden halt. After an hours perspir-
ing effort on the part Of Ray, the ma
chine was freed, only to meet a second
mishap a few miles farther on. At
$3.50 o'clock in the morning the auto
mobile drew up to the hotel and the
occupants, mud spattered and excited,
rushed into the lobby, to find that Jus
tice Smithwick, after waiting two
hours, had gone home. He was sum-
moned and the wedding quickly con-
cIuded

HARMER DECLARES HE
MADE BUT ONE GIFT
SOLITARY PRESENT WAS TO
CURE RHEUMATISM
Acknowledges Placing Diamond Ring
on Mrs. Jones' Finger and Accom-
panying the Contribution
with Kiss

George Harmer, who says he was
the dupe of Mrs. Minnie Jones, or, Mrs.
Joseph Batchelder, concluded his testi-
mony at the preliminary examination
of the woman, who is charged with
obtaining money under false pretenses.
After the evidence Of two other per-
sons had been heard the case was con-
tinued until 10 o'clock today.
Harmer denied he ever made presents
to Mrs. Jones, except on one occasion,
when he sent her a pair of electric
foot pads, which, he believed, would
cure a rheumatic attack.
How about the diamond engage
ment ring?" asked Mrs. Jones' attor-
ney.
Il didn't regard that as present, %
said Harmer.
What did you say when you gave
it to her?' inquired the attorney.
Nothing. / kissed her hand when I
placed the ring on her finger. She said,
Don't kiss that old hand, kiss me- and
1 did,
Harmer was not permitted by Mrs.
Jones to visit her on Sundays. "She
asked me not to do so,' he said. "She
told me there were roomers at the
house, and she was busy caring for
them, that it would be impossible to
entertain me-"
Mrs. Elizabeth Seabury, 923 Denver
avenue, owner of the house at 1885
Orange street, occupied by Mrs. Jones,
testified that she owned the building
and it's contents. She denied the story
Harmer said was told him by Mrs.
Jones, to the effect that the furnish
ings belonged to her.
Louis l.. Wilson said he answered
Mrs. Jones' advertisement, but invested
no money in her mythical properties.
He was still on the stand when court
adjourned.

SUED FOR BREACH OF
PROMISE; DAMAGES
PLACED AT $4,000
EXPECTANT BRIDE TRAVELS
FROM CHICAGO
Defendant Is Wisconsin Man, Reputed
to Be Wealthy, Who HabituaIIy
Passes the Winters in
California

Equipped with an expensive trous-
seau and happy in the anticipation Of
a lovers welcome, Miss Marie Confer
arrived in Los Angeles from Chicago
several weeks ago to meet and wed
Andrew Becker, whose home is in Wis
consin, but who passes his winters in
California Miss Confer was diSap-
pointed. Becker, she says, refused to
fulfill his promise to wed, and al
though the marriage contract was en-
tered into not more than six months
ago. the young woman claims her
recreant lovers change of mind has
wrought havoc with her womanly feel
nigs and caused a heart pain which
only $4,000 can assuage. To recover
this amount she filed suit in the SUI
perior court yesterday.
Attorney Alfred Cooper is acting as
Miss Conter'S legal adviser. He was
extremely reticent yesterday and would
give no information concerning his
client. No one has as yet appeared to
represent Becker. He has been living
at 12211b South Los Angeles street.
81 don't know where Mr.. Becker is
said the landlady yesterday. "He left
home early today and has not re-
turned. What is the trouble?"
When told that her roomer was
wanted to explain why he had not
married the girl to whom he had
promised his name and protection the
landlady said she knew nothing about
Becker's private affairs. She did know,
however, that he was not at home dur
ing the afternoon, and it was surmised
that he received information that the
action against him had been instituted
and absented himself to evade service
of the papers.
Miss Confer says the formal promise
to give her hand in marriage to Becker
was made December 19, 1908, and that
his refusal has almost broken her
heart.
Becker is reputed to be quite wealthy.
