A ViesrOx,s Plain Living.

In Miss Juliet BredOn's book about
her uncle, Sir Robert Hart. the grand
old man Of China" for many years
in charge Of the imperial customs serv-
ice; is the following story:
Zone OF the most influential of Sir
Roberts Chinese friends was the great
Ii Hung Chang. The diplomat liked
LIS household because of the simple
fly be found there-nO wearisome
courses at dinner, but fish and perhaps
a dish Of chicken with rice. Incau-
tiouSly. as ii turned out. he praised this
frugality 10 his own Chinese servant.
for the remark reached LIS ears in a
distorted form. Next time Sir Robert
went there he had to face a grand GER
emonial banquet.
"'You shall not have the chance to
go away again and say that you have
been fed like a cody in my house,
said the viceroy proudly at the end
Of the banquet,
Nevertheless the very simplicity
Of your hospitality was what l most
appreciated Sir Robert replied. But
IL you believe that l could have made
any such remark and IL you persist in
altering the style OF my reception l
shall not come to lunch with you
again."

Pauners' Paradise.

The authorities Of Samoa. the little
island upon which Robert Louis Ste
.venson lived and died, provide board
and lodging absolutely free to stran-
gers who are unable or unwilling to
pay for their keep. Every village on
the island has a guest house. called a
"faletale." and here the tourist is IN
vited to come and be fed, lodged and
entertained without any payment
whatever.
The officials of the town Of Klincen-
Main. IN Bavaria. are ex-
ceptionally generous, for they not only
provide free beds and free board TO
poor people, but give away big pud-
dings every year end to all who ask
for them. Klingenberg owns several
pottery clay pits that bring In so much
money to the town Golfers that they

Sense and feasibility,

For some days the dining room had

JUST FOR GIRLS.
NY Dear Girl:
/ who write to you this letter am
fifty years Of age. and / write to you
rs to a daughter And If you will
carefully read what say and ponder
over 1t you may be saved from some
regretful hours-or worse.
Know this:
The average man In his attitude to-
ward girls and women is sort Of Dr.
JekyIl and Mr.. Hyde parsonage. He
has two sides-a good and a lad side.
For instance
The average young man will spend
hours in coaxing a girl to kiss him
and then think less Of her when she
consents. Strange. but true.
The average young man will out
wardly encourage a girl to do things
that he knows TO be wrong and in
wardly despise her for her weakness. q.
Inconsistent?
Precisely. Men are built that way.
IL you think that putting aside your
natural modesty and doing the things
men may ask you to do-things not
necessarily criminal in themselves. but
merely indiscreet-yOu make big mis-
take.
With a mans inconsistency. the one
20 whom you permit a familiarity will
brag about IT TO his chums- And they
Will laugh about IL. and your good
name viii be lightly held.
But
There's another side to the man.
II you prove 90 him that you are
modest and pure and capable Of TAX
ing care Of yourself be will respect
you down deep In his heart.
And should your name come up IN
discussion be will see that II is IN
sullied And II you should need his
protection he will defend you as
UtanchIy as II be were your brother.
Do you see?
Every girl ought to know. Her
usOther should tell her.
II your mother has never explained
this two sided nature OF men TO you
], who write. would feel myself guilty
toward you who read my writing II
hailed to make II plain.
Do not be a prude. and do not be
afraid Of any man. Be honest. frank
and fearless. but DRAW THE LINE.
Let every man know be crosses that
line at his peril! he will not cross it.
But he will respect you.
Remember. my girl ~-'i--'

a shower Of beautiful birthday wishes
from all parts of the country. Mrs.
Condit had the mail withheld for two
days..
AS soon as the congratulations and
card reading was over, DIR. Marsh
read a poem dedicated to Edgar NJ.
Condit entitled, Three Score and Ter,
which was greatly enjoyed by the
company. DR.. Houghton gave a num-
Der of beautiful photograph selections
during the evening Elaborate re-
freshments were served, and the
evening otherwise enjoyed in social
converse.
Those participating in the celebra-
ton were: DR.. and Mrs. B. F. Marsh,

The husband himself appeared. and
she said fretfully: tits a perfect
shame the careless way the tailor sew
ed this button on. This Is the fifth
time I've had to sew it on again for
you"

KETCHEL SAYS TEN-ACT
BOUTS ARE REAL CANDY

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Stanley
Ketchel the middleweight champion,
believes that Governor Gillett of Cal
ifornia has set the pace for other ex-
ecutives of the nation.
''It is the so-called finish fight which
has tabooed the game to a large ex
tent" says Ketchel 'These bouts
were made a hobby by Battling Nelson
because the Dane thought no one could
beat him over the long route, whereas
he felt that he might get outpointed in
a shorter battle.
"Then the sanguinary talk between
Jeffries and Johnson and the fact that
they finally signed for one of these
finish fights turned the tide of public
opinion roughly against prize fighting.
l look to see the time when boxing will
be regarded as fencing is now, and
would not be at all surprised were
the bouts of the future to be limited to
ten rounds at the outside. Ten rounds
are amply sufficient to establish SUI
periority in boxing if not in bulldog
courage.
"It will put the game on much
more solid basis if the ten round rule
is effected. I do not believe, either,
that it would be a difficult thing to
proselyte the fans. for there is no
lodging the fact that finish fights are
naught but exhibitions of brutishness.
When boxing is conducted for science,
as is fencing, the games stock will
take q boost"

thusiastic good government meeting
addressed by ]. T. Mclean and w. E..
Hinshaw, candidate from the Sixty
ninth assembly district, and DR.. Sher-
win Gibbons, candidate for coroner.
DR.. Gibbons declared he did not want
the office of coroner unless there were
also a district attorney and sheriff
who were willing to do their duty; that
the office of coroner had often been
used in interests of corporations. He
cited cases where the families of acci-
dent victims might have been side
tracked from getting their just rights
by a coroner's verdict in not placing
the blame of the accident. He showed
that the reform movement was one that
was national in scope, and referred to
the examples of New Hampshire, Iowa
and Kansas.

TUB HACKETT MAY Be
GRABBED BY SENATORS
Big BackStop Must Cut Out the
Rough Stuff to Stay
in the League

SACRAMENTO, Aug. S.-Rumor
hath it that Thomas ("Tub') Hackett
will soon join the ranks of the Sena-
tors. Hackett is a class A catcher,
probably one of the best on the coast,
but his actions in the past on the ball
field have queered him with all clean
admirers of the sport Hackett was
given a chance by the Sacramento
Coast league club last season to get
back into organized baseball and af-
ter signing up a contract with Mama
ger Bill Curtin, failed to live up to
it's agreements. Early in the season
of last year he was taken from More
ing's Oakland team and given a chance
to get back into the fold. The man.
tin, one of the best friends to ball
players on the coast, is remembered
by all. Hackett is a heady catcher
and that is what is needed by the SEN
ators. 4 majority of the members
owning stock in the Sacramento ball
club are in favor of signing him up,
even those whom he treated in any
thing but fair manner going to bat
for him. Ed Walters of the Oakland
team, to whom Hackett belongs, said
At the time that Hackett jumped his
Sacramento contract that the corpu-
lent one would never get back into
organized baseball. Whether Walters
will change his mind remains to be
seen.
If Thomas .Iackett gets back into
baseball he should be made to act the
part of the gentleman on the field or
be given the roust in double quick
time

GOOD GOVERNMENT BODY
To SELECT SECRET TARY

The executive committee of the Los
Angeles Good Government organiza-
tion is expected to meet this week to
elect a secretary for the central body,
to succeed Charles E. Bent, who re-
signed recently, but has been holding
office until the committee could select
a successor.
Louis Guernsey, one of the most
active Democrats and Good Govern
ment workers in Los Angeles, has been
aiding Mr.. Bent as assistant secretary,
and there is a we'll defined movement
on foot, it is said, to retain Mr.. Gurn-
sey as permanent secretary. Some OBJ
lection has been raised, however, and
this objection, it is claimed, has come
from few Republican members of the
organization who seem at times to for
get the organization is non-partisan.
The fact that there are So many Re-
publicans in the organization, it is
argued by many, should prove favor
able for Mr.. Guernsey, and it is be-
lieved the election of a Democrat to
act as secretary would tend to encour-
age the non-partisan sentiments which
prevail in it.
