(By w. w. NaughtOn.)

SAN FRANCISCO, March 15.-Jim
Jeffries is back on his broad acres at
Burbank, and a record of the things he
does in day reads like leaf from the
life of Joshua Whitcomb.
From the way Jim attends to the
chores one might think that the mort
gage on the farm was growing bigger,
and that It has become necessary to
discharge the hired man. But that's
not the way of it at all. It's merely
case of combining business and en-

Come to think of it, there was some
mention of Johnson a few weeks ago
and then he was placed in an unpleas-
ant light. It was said he worked his ia
NOUS uppercut on another colored man
who reminded him of the time when he
was glad to blow the foam from

There is a minority report to the
effect that Johnson may have to go
to Jail for the offense and there are
suggestions, even now, that the pro-
moters had better provide an under
study for little Arthur in case he is
not able to keep his engagement with

LETTER
By LAWRENCE AL1RED CLAY

1t is of no consequence what the

understandings, and the more they
are in love the thicker the misunder-

them as tests. Where two people in

1t was little awkward In this case
that Miss Nina Farrand, school

In the morning when Mr.. Jones
came along. Miss Nina insisted on
driving along with him. He was full
of confidence that the letter would be
found, and when he finally reached
the foot of a particular hill he drew
rein and said:
Right here is where the harness
busted. and right here is where l get
down. Well find that letter in

The fatal spot was reached at last.
There on stone sat-not the lost
letter, but Mr.. Clingham himself: She
was within twenty feet of him before
she saw him. They were staring at
each other in the most awkward way,
when rumbling in the distance was
heard. From down the road came
cloud of dust, and in the midst of It
could be made out Farmer Jones and
his old rig. The old horse was on the
run and the old wagon was creaking.
and The farmer was shouting and hold
ing letter up to view. He drew
nearer. He stopped. He fiourished
the letter once more. and shouted:
Never lost the thing tall! Hole in
my pocket, and it got into the lining.

The letter was handed down, and he

Complaints are rife of decreased in.

Photographic exhibitions. There are
certainly fewer of the latter than there
were six or eight years ago, and socie.

on the whole weaker both in numbers
and in enthusiasm. In the United
States their numbers have decreased
90 or 60 per cent. at least. 1t is easy
to deduce from this decay Of interest

number of amateur photographers, and,
indeed, this easy operation has been
performed. Simple deductions on com.
