often great rascals. and l knoW one, a
BethIehemite who has Just received a
lesson which he is not likely soon to
forget. The mans rosary store is sit
uated down Christian street, not far
from the place where YOU turn in to
the Church of the Holy Sepuichcr- His
lesson came from a Jesuit priest who
lives in Chicago and who IS just now
starting home. The holy father had
come into the shop to buy some rosa
gies TO carry back TO his friends. He
had picked out a half-dozen beautiful
ones. and had paid the price without
barsaining. As the ~storekeeper
wrapped up his purchase, he ooked at
him out of the tail OF his eye and saw
him slip the rosarieS he had selected
under the counter and put some
cheaper ones in their place. The
Jesuit said nothing. but ne took up
several beautiful carvings representing
the crucifixion and ascension. each OF
which was worth about twice the
amount of the rosaries he had picked
out. Handing these to the man. he
told him to wrap them in paper, and
upon his being done he took both
parcels and started out or the store
The Bethlehemite merchant ran after
him, and told him he had not PAID Tor
the carvings. The father replied:
INV friend, I saw you change those
rosaries and give me the cheaper ones,
and Won may consider this q Judgment

them up at the score or more sacred
spots in the Church Of the Holy Sepnl-

HOLD-UP MAN
BUSY
Ralph Pickett Forced to Stand
Up and Deliver

Early this morning as Ralph Pick
EFT was returning to his home frsn
work at the saloon a hold-upman
forced him to throw up his hands
Pickett did not have anything of val
ue on his person SO the robber failed
10 land with any goods.
Pickett, who was naturally rather
nervous at the time did not render a
very minute description of the Of
fender. The authorities have en-
deavored to pick a few clews in the
matter. 1t is believed that the oper-
ator is local man and the police
hope to have him in line before long.
The fact that the Savage & Randall
saloon was broken into and an at
tempt made at the Park Hotel lead
to the belief that the same party has
grown bolder and taken the highway
route. No strangers are IL this city
whom the police suspect. 1t will re-
quire but little more evidence to

FLOOD AGAIN
THREATENED
French Rivers Rising and Damage
is Feared

PARIS, Feb. 1O.-The river Seine
has risen nine inches here during the
"a hours ending at noon Wednesday
on account of the rain and ME ting
snow. The photographic department.
predicts a continued rise until FRI
day, when it will reach height of
more than % feet at the Pont Roya;
and equal the flood level Of 1882.
Although confident there is no dan
ger of repetition of the recent dis
aster, authorities are taking every
precaution. The level of the para
pets at low places throughout the
length of the city are being hastily
raised by improvised dykes.
The return Of high water threatens
to retard greatly the work of repair
which is in progress. The waters,
which had been considerably below
the mouths of the sewers, are again
pouring into the. conduits, drowning
the electric light and power lines.
While service has been resumed
on several sections of the subway.
the management holds out no. hope
that the main line passing st. Lazar
station will be restored for another
month.

WOULD RUN A
CAMP
CarSOnite Asks For Concession
at Big Expo.

Sam Davis, who is at present ir
San Francisco. has put in bid fol
his 40 Camp to be reproduced at the
Panama-Pacific International Expo
sltion to be held in that city in 1915
All those who attended tae Midwinter
Fair at the Bay in 1894 recall the
camp there and the great success 1t
was. The San Francisco Examiner,
in speaking of the matter. has this
to say, in part:
Sam Davis of Carson. pioneer mi.
ner. editor. humorist, the originator
of the famous. 40 Camp at the Cali
fornia Midwinter Exposition in 1894,
wishes to resurrect that picturesque
and interesting concession at the
PanamaPacific International Exposi-
tiOn in 1915. Davis, for half a centu-
ry renowned as the bosom friend of
Mark Twain. has forwarded an ap-
plicatiOn for a concession TO the ex.
position company.
OF all eXpOsitiOns none ever had
such a concession as the '49 Camp.
1t was the expression of brilliant
idea. Those who attended tAe Mid.
winter Fair have never forgotten the
camp. with its replica of Mount
Shasta. its aliuring paths winding
through thickly wooded glens to the
gambling houses: the primitive ho-
tells and the dance halls, alive with
gyrating men and women; gay camp
dandies in long frock coats and glis-
tenins boots. and dark-visaged senor-
1tas. whose eyes beggared the flicker
ing oil lamps with their CLAW. Nor
has anyone ever forgotten the old
stage coach. the daily hold-ups and
the crack of trusty guns and muzzle-
loaded Long Toms

Headed For
This City

A telegram was receive yesterday
from Kansas City, Mo, Stating that
Sheriff Ed Regan was to Leave last
night for home. Mr.. Regan has been
in Kansas City for the pas: several
days, following up several ,iaAs
which led him to believe that his man
Graves. who was released from Gus
tody at Oklahoma City before his Az
rival there. was in the Missouri City.
The act of the Oklahoma officials
in releasing the man after they had
received word that Sheriff Regan had
left this city with an attorney would
lead one to believe that the officials
were persuaded" in doing the act.
Graves trial was set for last Sat
urday, Feb 5, but he was released
from custody on the I'd inst. without
a trial of any sort on the crime charg
ed in the notices sent out which led
to ais arrest.

The Department of Agriculture has

the Forest Service, has been misrep-
resented as saying that California
will In few years be the only source
Of hardwood supply in the United
States. Such statement has never
been made In any of the Forest Ser
vice publications and Is not consider
cd fact.
The Department experts believe
that there Is promise of considerable
success In the cultivation Of euca-
lyptus trees in many parts OF Cali
fornia, but estimates Of profits and OF
growth have been attributed to the
Department which are unauthorized.
There are many uncertainties con-
nected with eucalyptus culture. tae
government experts say, WniCh tht
investor should take into account.
In some cases statements falsely
attributed to the Forest Service in
advertising matter have been co
rected when attention was called to
these facts, but not before the mis-
statements had been widely circu-
lated. Secretary Wilson says he does
not intend to allow the name of his
department to be used as means
of victimizing the pubic, and that In
future any concern which attributes
to tae Forest Service unauthorized
statements may expect the state
ments to be publicly disavowed.
