manner of nice cookies and meats and
jellies and fishes and conserved fruits
are prepared days in advance, and every

AT this season particularly people will
appreciate the value OF the portable
wardrobe designed by an Illinois man.
Returning from vacations spent in two
by-four rooms. with no closets. the ad-
vantage OF the invention here presented
looms large. In the first place there is
a grooved bracket. with hooks by which

the shelf are rows Of hooks on which to
hang clothing. Depending from the shelf
and inclosing the clothing is large bag
which efEectualiy protects the garments
from the dust and other dirt that is
bound to accumulate. For persons who
travel TO any extent or who summer in
resorts where room Ia at q premium, one

completely than in Norway. In the

But the beautiful custom Of feeding the

the kind-hearted country folks and the

the birds. But such is the custom. The
birdlings scratch for themselves during

pretty duty. and they are taught from

FIGHTS MAN WHO
TRIES TO SAVE
HIS LIFE

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10
Battling with a maniac on the
Southern Pacific tracks at Harri-
son and Seventeenth streets early
today, Special State Officer Cur
ley succeeded in striking the man
on the head and dragging his un-
conscious body from the rails an
instant before a passenger train
roared over the spot where the
two had fought.
The engine had sounded its
whistle shortly before Curley saw
the stranger deliberately lie down
on the track and place his head
on one of the rails and his feet
on the other.
The officers ran to his side and
attempted to force the would-be
suicide from the track. With the
headlight of the locomotive grow
ing brighter as the speeding train
bore down upon them, the two
struggled until lucky blow from
Curley's nightstock made the ma
MAC unconscious. The man, who
appears to be laborer, is locked
up in the Detention hospital.

Atkins also spoke for gravity.
He said he had formerly been a

Mayor Finds Excuse
to Injure Lauzon
Wednesday, Sept. Is, 1909

The administration at last has
found a pretext on which to sus-
pend City Electrician Lauzon, and
Commissioner McGregor will send
a letetr to the council tonight
asking that he be Investigated.
In the meantime Lauzon has been
officially removed by Mayor Linck
and ]. T. Riley placed in charge
of the office.
The excuse for attempting to
fire the electrician is made on
the fact that he paid the city with
his own money for some cooking
utensils the city got from the Gen
eral Electric company and had
not yet sold.
Acting under orders from the
council, Lauzon had the cooking
utensils sent to Davies Brothers.
Later A. z. Smith took over the
Davies Brothers business, and
with 1t the cooking utensils. When
the General Electric company sent
in it's bill for the goods, Clerk
Shelter wanted to know where
they were. The storekeeper said
they were not there. Lauzon was

BEAR PUTS SECTION MEN TO

SUMMIT, Mont, Sept. 10
Just as the Great Northern sec
tion men here were sitting down
to their evening meal yesterday,
a large silver-tip grizzly bear
dropped around informally and
announced his presence by
scratching at the front door of
the house. Peter Mehas, section
foreman, opened the door, and
before he could recover from his
amazement, bruin struck him on
the left shoulder with huge paw
and knocked him the length of
the room. Instantly there was a
general exodus of Greek laborer
through the rear windows of the
shack.
After putting the enemy to
flight, the bear turned his atten-
ton to the supper table, and was
calmly helping himself to a large
platter of fried ham when William
Morris, a trapper, attracted by

enough east of Cooks to prove
that the land they found first was
of considerable width, and that
the islands later traversed are in
all probability an extension of the
big Arctic archipelago. So Grant
land and Grinnel Land, previously
the "farthest north" of any big
tract, now open up the belief that
perhaps there is large hidden,
.ice-covered continent up there.
Greenland, which looks small
enough on most maps. is really as
long as from New York to the
Rocky mountains, and as wide as
from st. Paul to New Orleans.
This is fact that many men and
women who studied Biographies
years and years ago do not appre-
ciate.
So the children of today and
the future, it's plain to see. will
