After the. pincess Carazina had
loved King Bilbul month, the
King sat one day with the princess
and tainted the mournful duke.
"See," he called, lifting a golden
goblet, II will give the princess to
drink, and she will love me yet
more" So saying, the king gave
the princess to drink, and the
princess slipped at the contents as
she looked roguishly at Duke Ar
turo. But no sooner had the po-
ton been tasted than she turned
fiercely upon the king.
why, thou hideous crab-face!

IRON MAN "WALKS"
TO WORK AND BACK
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Charles
Guest Norris, an English engineer,
is over here with a new ''iron
man" which he has invented.
He calls it an Iron man" be-
cause it can walk" 1t is said to
be great invention, but aside
from walking it has no resem-
blance to a man.
1t will walk around the cor
ner with a dozen tons of tools and
machinery. 1t has four legs, and
will walk in water as we'll as on
ground. When stationary, the
back forms a level platform from
which work may be done.
The walking" is accomplished
by two frameworks, one within
the other, each having four legs.
One frame slides forward and the
legs are lowered. Then the legs
of the other frame are lifted up
and that frame, or platform, slides
forward and the legs rest again on
the ground. And so, ad infini-
tum.

Thou ugly bag of wrinkles! spit
II stamp at thee!"
AS the king gaped with surprise,
the princess beheld the wonderful
ly relieved countenance of Duke
Arturo. A sudden CLEAN came in
to her blue eyes. "Ah, Arturo
1t is thou whom I love! Come!
twill teach this toad a lesson"
The king stood in impotent rage
but as the princess hurried away
with the golden goblet, he reused.

But the Princess Carazina was
fleet, and before King Bilbul
could reach the palace he was set
upon by the SO beautiful, once
loving wives. "Old double-nose!
Thou shrivel-skin! Go have the
cut off thy ugly
facet"
In a corner of the garden the
Princess Carazina leaned her
head against the good shoulder of
Duke Arturo. "Dost love me?"
whispered the duke.

quoth the Princess Carazina.

held in his withered hand a COB

liquor, and his evil eye glittered.
"The liquor keepeth the bloom

The princess looked curiously at

Then the princess took a little
sip, then more and more, until she
had emptied the golden goblet.
After that she turned upon the
king. ooh, my good lord, how I
do love thee-thy beauteous wart-
tipped nose and the three teeth of
gold!" She would her lily
arms about the king, and the Duke
Arturo, passing through the gar

BILLS FOR DIRECT
LEGISLATION READ
Senator Gates Explains Meas
ures for Initiative, Refer
endum and Recall

Two bills involving amendment to
the state constitution for the perfec-
ton Of direct legislation We're read
yesterday afternoon for the considera-
tion OF the state central committee
by Senator Lee c. Gates of Los An
geles. The first dealt with the initia-
tive and referendum, the second with
the recall. Both bills were drawn up
in detail, but were presented to the
conference in brief form
With the initiative and referendum
it was explained that the committee
on direct legislation had worked out
provisions for giving the people of
the state the power of legislation with
out opening the door to the enfran-
chisement of special privileges
With the recall bill the question
arose as to the exemption of the ju-
dietary. It was stated by Senator
Gates that the committee had not been
in accord on that point, but that a
provision had been made in the bill
for such exemption. He expressed him
self as against it.
Discussion the narose over the use
of the recall should three parties in
the state attain an approximate equal
ity of strength, two parties uniting for
the recall of the incumbent of the
third. The idea was dismissed as i'm
probable.

FRESNO Man TO
GET new TRIAL
Supreme Court Reverses IA
Year Sentence of Emmett
Higgins

The supreme court yesterday re-
versed the decision of the trial court
of Fresno sentencing Emmett higgins
to il years Imprisonment for assault
70 commit murder. The order states
that the right of a fair and impartial
jury is one of the most important and
sacred Of the guarantees OF the con-
stitution."
higgins attacked A L. Kreiss. Prior
to the trouble with Kreiss, higgins
killed Robert Dean of Fresno. This
was in 1905, but he was acquitted. In
selecting the jury for his trial on the
assault charge, the attorneys for Rig
gins asked all veniremen if their
knowledge of higgins former trouble
would prejudice them.
Three men who answered that in the
event of a reasonable doubt they would
decide against higgins because of his
former shooting affair were allowed to
remain in the jury box. After the con-
viction an appeal was made on the
grounds that the jury was not an inn
partial one. The court Of appeal did
not reach an agreement and the case
was transferred to the supreme court.
The order of yesterday goes into the
testimony Of Simpson, Bargroth and
McKeen, JURORS, to show that they were
prejudiced against higgins The case
is remande1 for trial.

ANOTHER OF EARLY
Settlers IS DEAD
Death Takes Former Broker
for Bonanza Kings During
Days of 81

With the death Thursday night OF
Orlando H. Bogart, former confidential
broker in the days of 81 for the Bon
anza kings, Mackay, Flood and O'Brien.
another of the early Californian pioneer
band has passed away. While for many
years inactive, because Of i'll health and
failing eyesight, Bogart was once a
prominent figure in local financial
circles, and at one time held large in
terests in many important mining
claims
He is survived by a widow son by
his first marriage, William f. Bogart
business manager for the Examiner, and
a daughter, Mrs. w B. Holden He has
been making his home with the latter
for the last few years in California
street, and 1t was there that the end
came from an attack of cystitis, the
outcome of slight stroke of paralysis
two years ago.
Bogart was not only the first retail
druggist of this city. but he also opened
the first gun store near the old post
office building in Washington street.
He was, besides, for some time cashier
of the Pacific bank, and was associated
in business with the firm of r. H. Mac
donald. His main interests, however,
lay in mining and ranching, and like
many another Of the great men of his
day, he made and lost fortunes. For
the last few years he had taken prac-
tically no interest in business matters,
although he retained his faculties until
the end, few days after his eighty
first birthday.
Bogart was a member of most of the
local shooting and sporting clubs, and
took special interest in the Tule Bell
club, of which he was the founder.

This frank confession of the ascend

There were several waggish fellows
in the crowd who turned the occasion
into one of such merriment that even
grim Mrs. Johnson was found chuckling
half aloud. while Thyrza Masterson
and Mrs. Simmons, being at heart good
natured and keenly susceptible to even
poor wit, laughed louder than any one
else and walked home together side

That was the end of all i'll feeling over

A giraffe is very timid on hearing
slight sounds. but is Indifferent to loud
ones. A writer in the Leisure Hour
says: "Noisy sounds. hke man walk
ing by with hobnail boots, it does not
notice, but lady coming in with hard
ly more sound than the rustling of her
dress makes it start. with pricked ears
and eyes distended. We remember
well after terrible explosion Of gun
powder on barge on the canal, ask
ing the keeper of the giraffes of that
day how they had taken it. and he said
he was surprised how very little notice
they took. They jumped to their feet,
but almost at once lay down again
when they found nothing happened.
But" he added. "if ! were at night
time to creep along that gallery in my
socks they would be so scared that l
believe they would dash themselves to
bits. They fear the lurking foe"

An Australian elowhoIe.

A great natural curiosity is the blow
hole on the Australian coast near
Kama in the colony of New South
Wales. 1t may be found in the mid
die of a rocky headland running out
into the sea. With each successive
breaker the ocean spray is sent shoot
ing up into the air. sometimes from
800 to 400 feet, accompanied by rum
bling noise as of distant thunder,
which can be heard for miles. This
"blowhole" consists Of a perpendicu-
lar cavity, nearly circular. with a di-
ameter Of about ten yards, and has
the appearance of being a crater of an
extinct volcano. 1t is connected with
the ocean by a cave about hundred
yards in length. Into this cave waves
rush during stormy weather. and as
the cave extends some distance farther
into the rock than the "blowhole" on
the entrance of each wave this hole
becomes full of compressed air, which.
when the tension becomes too great,
blows the water with great force up
the perpendicular opening. - London

An Iowa Granger Compares Prices Re-
ceived and Paid Now With Those of
Thirty Years Ago and Says One Can
Pay For a Farm Easier Now Than
Then.
At a meeting of Jones Mill grange,
in Iowa. G. II. johnson read paper
on the opportunities and possibilities
which are offered the young man of
today who is willing to take up an hon
orable employment and enter upon his
life work as a progressive farmer.
The superior inducements offered at
this time are compared tC the Condi-
lions that existed from twenty 10 thir-
ty-tve years ago.
The purchasing power of our prod
uctS at that time said Mr.. johnson.
and the prices we paid for the necessi-
ties in the home and on the farm and
the rates of interest on borrowed mon
ey all combined to make life on the
farm a most serious problem and in
deed caused many young man TO
leave the farm and seek the city in
hopes that be might secure a paying
position with less effort and shun what
to him seemed life of drudgpry.
Let us now make comparison of
prices of farm products and cost OF
farm supplies" continued the speaker.
Thirty years ago we could in Iowa
buy-ten yards of calico for 81, taking
forty pounds of butter: today the same
amount of butter will buy 2OO yards.
Twenty years ago you paid 81 for
100 pounds OF 5arbed wire. which took
over 100 bushels of oats: today 1eO
bushels of oats will buy 200 pounds
of wire and the staples thrown in.
Thirty years ago we paid $50 for
harvester. taking $40 bushels of good
wheat; today the same amount OF
wheat will buy four self binders Thir-
ty-hve years ago the wife took a trip
on the railroad distance of 100 miles,
round trip, which cost Sl6 which took
300 dozen OF eggs: today the same
number of eggs will carry YOU 5000
