Birthday Surprise In California.

DlEtuuhy surprise In OaAl1OFn1a.
PASADENA, CAL, April TO- 1903.
To the Editor of The American:
This is the sixty-seventh birthday Of
w. o. Smith, formerly resident of South
Hancock, but now resi- dent of Pasadena,
Cal, and he was surprised this evening in
way that did his old heart good. The
first thing he knew he was having many
callers, and SO, after several had arrived, he
caught on to part of the game that was
being played on him.
There were about thirty guests, chosen
friends of the family, present. The house
had been decorated, suppositively for
Easter, but really for this special occasion,
roses from the garden of the home, ar
ranged in vases and covering the castings
of doors and windows in most artistic
manner, having been so disposed by Mr..
Smiths only daughter, Zelma, who was
the prime factor Of the very pleasant al
extremely weil-ordered affair.
After treat of candy, ice-cream and
cake tincluding Mr.. Smiths birthday
cake, which he had to cut and pass to his
guests) one of the guests read an original
poem about Mr.. Smith from baby hood to
the present time, which called forth great
cheering.
During the reading of this poem Mr.
Smith was presented with large and
beautiful American flag which, in the
meantime, had been hoisted and was
floating in the calm air OF the night from
the front balcony of the house, over the
lawn, to which all repaired and sang ''The
Star spangled Banner.
After returning to the reception room,
the poem was nnished. Mr.. Smith re-
ceived many other presents. He rose to
speak his appreciation, but his heart
was too full for his lips to give utterance.
About all be could say was, II thank
you, thank you'll! And that was erf--h.

BUILDINGS TELL THEIR STORY.
Unwittinoly They Reveal Secrets Of
-Ate 'i~srts OF inoee Who Con-
structed Them.

The observer of~buildings may reod
er's heart, whether II be pride, nmhi-
tion, hypocrisy or solid worth. The
apartment building that is built to
SELL is easier to read than some
structures which are the expression
OF composite thought. There is a
good exterior appearance. halls heavy
with style" with tiled floors. marble
walls, and massive chandeliers. But
inside the apartments, on every hand,
there are evidences of conscious
intention to skimp and neglect even
ordinary standards OF good carpenter
work.
How unwittingly does the builder
rear this projection Of his inmost
character! Would It restrain him to
know that others regarded his work
as an open confession OF the very
things he would prefer to hide? 1t
raight not change his character, but 1t
-ould cause him to make such build
ing as he would like to be thought OF
as corresponding to In character. II
this method OF interpreting builders
were to be popularlzed 1t might raise
the standards Of the industry. Our
contribution to this end would be n
proyerb. to pass current wherever
buildings are contemplated: "A build
ing is n confession in stone.'-Col-

ing an order restraining the inter-

forcing its order reducing class rates
on merchandise shipped from this city
End St. Louis to Denver.
The order of the commission will be-

In the Kindel case March 2. The rail
roads seeking relief from tais are:
The Burlington, Rock Island, North
western, Milwaukee, Santa Fe, Mis-
souri, Pacific, and Wabash. The roads
claim that the new rates will give the
Chicago shippers the advantage of %
cents hundred pounds in rates over
the Missouri river shippers and an ad-

NAIROBI, May 10. Roosevelt, on
Sunday, got the biggest female rhin-
erocos killed in this vicinity In years.
He went out from McMillan's ranch
on horse back in a search OF hippo
potamus, and while riding at full
speed, sighted a female rhinoceros. He
shot at 1t from his saddle, but the aim
was high and wounded it in the
shoulder. The animal took refuge in
the bushes, and Roosevelt dismounted
and crawled after 1t. He fired five
shots without seeming effect. The
rhinoceros charged him. Dropping
on one knee Roosevelt took careful
aim and killed it with the seventh
shot. The hide and head Of the ami
NAL weighs 400 pounds.
The porters have nick-named Ker-
nit Bwana Mtoto, or Little Master :
The father and his son constantly use
the nicknames in addressing each
other.
Later Roosevelt killed hippopot-
anus. Tie hippo was encountered
as the party was returning for the day
after hope was abandoned. Roosevelt
has every specimen OF African big
game to his credit except the elephant
and zebra.
