1t was purely question of caste
from the beginning. The lines of so
cial standing were very severly drawn
atAdam's Ferry, as Pearl Amboyne dis
covered very soon after her first visit
to Lake Linwood. She was good
looking girl of practical turn of
mind, who had worked her way up to
fairly lucrative position in the serv-
ice of New York clothing firm and
was spending her vacation WITH her
mother at a short distance from the
great metropolis.
Everybody at Adams Ferry goes
to the landing to inquire for mail, and,
incidentally, to see what manner of
people are going up the lake. Law
renee Daniels was holding a parasol
over his aunt's august head, when he
saw Pearl Amboyne Fastening over the
gang plank. Before he could beat a re-
treat the girl had nodded to him, and
he was compelled to acknowledge her
salutation with perfunctory dip of
his hat.
Il was not aware" said Miss Eva
Joliffe, sister of Lawrence Daniels
mother, recently deceased, that you
had an acquaintance among the hotel
people,"
WELL" returned the young man,
nervously, "a man who is reporter
on big newspaper, as I am, is bound
to meet few persons who are not
eligible to the select set at Adams
Ferry"
II trust, nephew" said Miss Joliffe,

Up His Manuscript and Stole
His Orders.

A PARIS contemporary dealing with
the love of great men for animals
gives an amusing account of Chateau
BRAND and his monkey When he was
engaged in preparing Fontanes' works
for the press on returning one day he
was met by his monkey.
"Ah, you rogue" said Chateau
BRAND, your shamefaced look tells Of
mischief" The monkey was chained
up, but as things did not appear much
disturbed Chateaubriand thought no
more of the matter until it was time
to resume work. Fontanes' manu-.
scripts were not to be found
At last Chateaubriand looked into
the waste paper basket and there were
the manuscripts. The monkey had
watched his master, and as he had
seen him fold sheet Of paper and
tear it into four. SO he had dealt with
Fontanes writings. With much labor

can have" explained the young man.
ager. ut makes the handling of stock
easy. 1t is especially easy and con-
venient for me-for am dairy farm.
er, remember"
To carry out this, the most impor.
tant of his ideas, required another
innovation, most interesting of all.
The big barn was divided into long
rows of stalls for the cows. Each
animal has swinging iron neck hold
er that gives it ample liberty yet
keeps it in place.
In front of each row is an iron pipe,
air tight, leading to vacuum tank in
the power room where are indicators
telling of the air pressure. The en-
CINE pumps the air out of the tank
and so out of the pipes, leaving sue
ton that is used to operate milking
machines, of which eight are installed.
These are of the ordinary type used
in the agricultural colleges and can
be operated by a boy.
1T takes us about an hour to do the
milking of 80 cows" explained the
young man. 1--WE shall have 40 COWS
soon and it will take no longer then.
1t is not profitable to use the milking
machines with less than 40 COWS, be-
cause of the expense of installation.
Something like $500 is invested in this
apparatus.
"But it helps solve the hired man
problem. Few men like to milk. In
the foreign countries and in some
parts of this country where dairying
by hand has been the custom for a
long series of years it is easy to get
mixers. The western hired man balks
at two or three hours of milking daily.
This makes it difficult to secure help
on the farm if attention is given to
dairying. With these machines it is
different. Any hired man will manage
the machinery and likes it, for he is
relieved of the drudgery of the actual
work himself. There will be easier
work managing this farm than ever
before and l expect to make more
money out of it, too"
Along with the change in the farms
methods have gone changes in the di-
vision of the crop-raising plans. In
stead of producing grain for selling,
the farm will now produce feed for
the cattle and hogs. Two hundred
head of swine are being cared for and
the income from these is not to be
despised.

Chateaubriand thought it advisable
to see what else the monkey had
done. His orders had disappeared
from a drawer which was always
kept closed. The servants searched
everywhere for them, but they were
not to be found. Nearly week
elapsed before they were traced. and
then a domestic noticed that the
monkey had suspended them to the
cornice In quasi symmetrical way.
The monkey was given his congo
and Chateaubriand replaced him by a
cat, which was allowed place on his
masters writing table, and great was
the pleasure which he derived in play.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
bic can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because Of its great
er strength than other makes.

cuticura Thus Proven Pure and Sweet
A New York friend of cuticura

A New York friend Of Cuticura
writes:
my three year old son and heir,
after being put to bed on trip across
the Atlantic, investigated the state
room and located a box of graham
crackers and box of Cuticura Oint-
ment. When search was made for
the box, it was found empty and the
kid admitted that he had eaten the
contents of the entire box spread on
the crackers. 1t cured him of bad
cold and I don't know what else."
No more conclusive evidence could
be offered that every ingredient of Gu
ticura Ointment is absolutely pure,

safely eaten by young child, none but
the most beneficial results can be ex-
pected to attend its application to even
the tenderest skin or youngest infant.

The tornado that struck in the coun-

performed some peculiar pranks at
the farm of Charles Steinmetz, who
found a number of eggs scattered
over the ground near where the barn
had stood, not one of which was as
much as cracked, although the barn
in which they had been laid was re-
duced to kindling wood.

Shift Pastures.

Shift the animals from one pasture
to another. as often as possible, both
for the good of the animals and the,
pasture. Sheep especially should
have their pasture changed often, as
they contract disease when kept in
one place too long. Too close pastur-
ing kills out the grass by reducing
the leaf surface OF the grass.

This device when properly adjusted
takes the greater part of the strain
from the top hinge, yet places no
more on the bottom one.
1t also helps to keep the gate closed,
as the wire is frightened as the gate
is thrown open.
The manner of setting the posts and
of hanging the gate need not be so
fully described, as the most of the
farmers have their own way of setting
posts.

POLICE HELP WOMAN
TO RECOVER Her HAT
MANAGER OF CLEANING SHOP
MOVES SUDDENLY
Proprietor of Place Takes Millinery
Left in His Care When He
Changes Address Without
Notification

A hat that its owner, Mrs. William
Kriebe of Sierra Madre, has been
searching for several weeks, resulting
in her visiting the prosecuting attor-
ney's office several times to ask for a
complaint against the proprietor of the
Croft Hat works, Spring street, near
Second street, was recovered by the po-
lice yesterday after Patrolmen Brown
and Clifford had worked on the case
for several days.
Several weeks ago Mrs. Kriebe took
the hat, which is valued at $25 and
belongs to her daughter, to the hat
works to be cleaned. She called at the
place several days later and was told
that the article had not been finished
and was told to call again. She re-
turned several times afterward, so she
stated, and each time was told to call
later.
On her last visit she found the place
closed and vacant. She then asked for
complaint against the proprietor OF
the place. She was not given a COM
plant, but the police were asked to in
vestigate and Croft finally was located
at an apartment house and the hat re-
covered.
Croft is alleged to have vacated the
place without notifying George Ben
nett, the agent and to have torn UP
the flooring and otherwise damaged
the store. Bennett also was anxious TO
locate Croft, but it is not likely that
any complaint will be filed against him,
unless others who claim he has failed
to return their hats show that the ar
ticles were deliberately taken with in
tent to defraud.

PICTURES CANNOT APPEAR
IN CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
Senate Committee on Printing Abol-
ishes the Practice of Publish
ing illustrations

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The Con-
gressiopal Record is no longer an IL
Illustrated sheet. 1t never has been pur-
posely decorated with pictures, but oc-
casionally a wide awake senator or an
active representative has succeeded in
having printed some article carrying
illustrations. Even that limited priVl-
lege has been withdrawn.
When the step was taken no one
knew it. but Senator Owen made the
discovery. 1t came yesterday at the
conclusion of the address of Senator
Bristow on the sugar schedule of the
tariff bill.
Mr.. owen then sought to have in
serted in the Record an illustration of
the scale by which the sugar trust, as
alleged, succeeded in underweighing
sugar for the purpose of evading the
payment of duty.
Mr.. owen stated that he had asked
to have this illustration inserted in the
Record when he recently spoke on that
subject and was surprised to find the
right was denied him. He wanted, he
said. to make a public record of the
practice.
senators Smoot and Gallinger then
explained for the first time that the
committee on printing. to which they
were members, had abolished the prac-
tice of publishing illustrations in the
Record After some discussion it was
agreed that there would be no objec-
ton to having the speech of the sem
ator from Oklahoma and tie accom-
panying illustrations published as a
public document, and this course was
decided upon.

Lunacy

Charged with sending threatening
letters in which he demanded 100000
from A. Douglas, a millionaire mining
man of Bisbee, Ariz., who is residing
temporarily in Pasadena, Sam lie Roe'
alias Fred Riviere. was arrested yes
terday by Joseph Nolan, deputy
sheriff. at the ranch of B. Barrlianl'
near Redondo. Accompanying the
deputy to the ranch were c. V. Batter'
head of the local office of the Plnker-
ton detective agency and DR.. George
w. Campbell. The latter examined lie
Roe as to his mental condition, and
after the man was placed in the county
Jail a complaint charging insanity was
issued.
LIE Roe will be taken to the county
hospital today and will appear Tor eX-
animation before the lunacy commits
sion some day next week.
About six months ago LIE Roe sus-
tanned severe injuries by falling in
shaft of the Copper Queen Mining
company, Bisbee. He was taken TO
hospital and later, owing to his weak
ened condition, resulting from the ac-
cident, was sent to an asylum in Arl-
iona. He was released three months
ago and came to Los Angeles, since
which time Mr.. Douglas, one OF the
owners OIL Tie 0OppCL QuCNAAt
ceived a number of letters in Whlcn
the writer threatened to take the law
in his own hands if 100000 in money
was not forthcoming.
The matter was placed in the hanos
of Detective Halter several weeks ago,
after the receipt by Mr.. Douglas OF
several threatening letters, and sus-
picion was directed to LIE Roe when ne
was seen in the neighborhood of a spot
where the mining man was Instructed
to place the price of his safety.
Two weeks ago, by means of decoy
letters, LIE Roe was traced to Redondo.
Until three days ago a search of the
surrounding country was carried on,
and Tuesday the efforts of the detec-
tive were rewarded when he found lie
Roe working on the Barrliani ranch.
LIE Roe at first denied his identity
and refused to give the officers any
information concerning his movements.
When Deputy Nolan showed him the
decoy letters taken from his room at
the ranch house ne is said to nave
acknowledged the authorship of the
letters sent to Mr.. Douglas, contendlng
that the money was due him on ac-
count of the injuries he sustained at
the mine. oo
LIE Roe is a French Canadian, ~
years old. and unmarried.
