unMIse comforters.

I have listened helplessly for hours
while two women talked over a death
in the family. No pang was neglected,
no misery passed over. 1t was a thor
ough recapitulation of woe. II must
have done them good, for otherwise do
not understand how two human beings
could spend so much time on the har-
rowing details of dissolution. But l de-
voutly hope that I may be spared this
relentless comforting in time of trou-
BILE and that when l am gone inquisitive
acquaintance will hold upon my men,
ory no such psychological autopsies.
But still the prospect of it, as was said
of Campbells Lives of the Judges, adds
a new terror to death.
Comfort is the absence of uneasiness.
True comforting strives to remove I'M
easiness. Sometimes it is fruitless. No
one can comfort bereft old people. They
have lost the power of reaction. Their
sorrow travels around in an endless
chain. But It is otherwise with the
young and those in the prime of life.
They may be Influenced to look on the
brighter side of things. 1t is natural
and fitting that bereavement should
leave us disconsolate for a while, as
man sits desolate before the ruins of
his burned home. Now no wise man
will talk to him of the beauty of the
house that is gone, its comfortable
rooms, its well remembered furniture.
Rather will he strive to turn the others
mind to the building of new house.
So when death lays its cold finger
upon some loved one of our little circle
it is of little use to talk to him about
the bitterness of the loss-no one knows
it better than he, or the sadness of the
passing-he will never forget it, or the
gap it has left-no one is Indispensable.
But there is much in the life of one who
has met duty honestly and fulfilled well
the purpose OF being, to console and
those who are left. Why do
they haul out the worn old platitudes as
the undertaken brings his battered fold
ing chairsl
We are all cyclists when invested
with the pomp of woe. The crepe |
that swings at hundreds Of sad door
knobs. that grim decoration so clair
of the scene within, has made |
small impression upon US IN the past. |
Death and destruction daily stalk be- |
fore US, a pageant of horror, in the

Family Manners.

Family manners are apt TO suffer
from too much candor- We speak with
great plainness in the circle of our own
kindred; we express the contrary opin-
ion too readily and with too little cour-
tesy. A slight infusion of formality
never harms social intercourse, either in
the family or elsewhere.
Beyond this too common mistake Of
an overbluntness and brusque freedom
IN the manners of household, in some
Of our homes there is greater fault,
even lack of demonstration. There is
the deepest, sincerest loves in the home
the brothers and sisters would cheer
fully die for one another if so great
sacrifice were demanded-but the love
is locked behind a barrier of reserve.

Sour PEOPLE.

Sour people not only have hard
time in getting through the world them
selves, but they make it hard for other
people. The more sour people profess to
have religion, the harder they make it
for the Lord to reach those who have
much to do with them.
Sour people who claim to be Chris
tians make sinners think that the Lord
is opposed to anybody having very
good time IN this worlo. Sometimes
people are sour because they have just
enough religion to make them misera-
BILE ard have not enough to make them
happy. Sour people are very often
made more so by brooding over their

Grippe was first described in Eng
land in 1173. since when there have
been more than 100 epidemics. 1t first
appeared in the United States in 1927
and went all over the western hemis-
phere The last epidemic started in
Bokhara in May, 1889, and reached the
United States in the middle of Decem-
Der Its rate of spread is exactly as
rapid as travel Since 1889 there have
been grippe epidemics in most Amer

are many mild cases of "cholerine"

treatment OF sprains.

Sprains require prompt and thorough
attention. They sometimes give rise to
permanent injury. Soak the affected
part in hot water for twenty to thirty
minutes. The water should be main
aimed at as high a temperature as is
possible by the little addition of hot
water at frequent intervals. The dura-
ton Of hot foot bath should be ten to
twenty minutes, after which an elastic
banGage should be applied to the af-
tected joint in such a way as to pre-
vent swelling on the outside of the
bandage. The foot should be elevated
for a few hours, until the tendency to
Inflammation has subsidized. After the
first twenty-four hours very gentle rub
bling Of the limb may be employed. The
rubbing movement should be in direc-
ton from the injured part toward the
heart.

Rest.

NV feet are wearied, and my hands are
Nv soul oppressed
And desire what I have long de-
sired
Rest-only rest.
IT'S hard to toil-when toll is almost
vain,
I'm barren ways;
,Tis hard to sOw-and never garner
grain,
In harvest days.
The burden of my days is hard to bear,
But God knows best;
And have prayed-but vain has been
my prayer
For rest-sweet rest.
'Tis hard to plant in spring and never
reap
The autumn yield:
'Tis hard to till, and tbs titled to weep
Der fTuitless field.
And so I cry weak and human Try,
So heart oppressed;
And so ] sigh a weak and human sigh,
For rest-fOr rest.
NV way has wound across the desert
years,
And cares infest
NV path, and through the flowing Of
hot tears,
I pine-for rest.
Twas always So when but a child I
laid
on mothers breast
My wearied little head; cen then
prayed
As now-for rest.
And / am restless still; twill soon be

Keep A-Tryino,

Say I willr' and then stick to it
That's the only way to Go it.
Don't build up a while and then
Tear the whole thing down again
Fix the goal you wish to gain,
Then go at it heart and brain,
And, though clouds shut out the blue,
Do not dim your purpose true
With your signing.
Stand erect, and like a man
Know They can who think they can
Keep a-trying.

journals. But when the crepe is hung
at our door, how different! 1t seems the
first instance in history, a tragedy.
Friends do what they can to comfort
the forlorn, but after all there is but
one Comforter. God help those who
have not Him to lean upon in the hour
of bitter need! Only the saint can rise
supreme above the bereavement, but
when faith is strong, the habit Of life
time, it comes forth at the crisis as a
consolation, whose place nothing else
can take. This is often the blessing of
the poor. Their daily misery makes
them live near to God. Death levels all
distinctions, but they who have had no
friend but God all their lives feel His
friendship at the time of death.-A

To Fry Salt Bacon.

The best way to prevent bacon being
too salt when it is fried is to place a
little water in the pan along with the
bacon. Let the water come to a boil,
then pour it out, and fry the bacon
IN the usual way. 1t will then not be
too salt, and will also be very nice
and tender.-Woman's Life.

BECOMES TOO GAY OVER
WIFE'S INTENDED VACATION
Delivery of Trunk Starts Trouble
That Is Finished in Court

my wife's gone to the country
hooray! hooray!" sang A. w. Locke
Saturday night in jubilant tones as he
purchased a trunk in the store OF G.
Steinbach in Main street for his wife,
who was preparing to leave for a va
cation.
Yesterday morning his song was
changed to a mournful plea to Police
Judge Frederickson for leniency to-
ward him on a charge of disturbing
the peace.
When the storekeeper objected to
making a delivery of the trunk Satur-
day night, Locke suggested that with
the aid of a clerk he might carry it
away"
Steinbach, in an effort to please the
customer, ordered the clerk to assist
in Juggling the trunk to his home.
Everything went we'll until the pair
had gone several blocks, when the
clerk, becoming fatigued, inquired
where he lived "At Seventh and San
Julian Streets" happily replied Locke,
thinking only of the gay life he would
lead during his wife's absence.
The tired clerk evidently was think
ing of returning to the store and call
ing it a days work. He flatly re-
fused to carry the trunk any further.
Despite Locke's persuasions he could
not induce the clerk to assist him any
further Locke became abusive in his
entreaties and an alteration ensued.
Locke was arrested and charged with
disturbing the peace.
After taking considerable of the
courts time in endeavoring to gain
clemency he was fined SIS. He paid
the fine.

THIEVES LOOT HOME AND
TAKE FAMILY SILVERWARE
Pass Key Burglar Robs Three
Rooms on ToWne Avenue

While the family was at one of the
beach resorts thieves entered the home
of John A. Murphy, 419 West Washing
ton street, about 10 O'Clock Sunday
evening, and after ransacking the en-
tire house, stole three dozen pieces of
silverware, valued at 5000.
Murphy returned to his home shortly
after 10 o'clock, and, upon entering
the house, discovered that everything
had been ransacked. Drawers of the
sideboard and dressers were thrown on
the floor and their contents strewn
about the house. The thieves evidently
left nothing undone in their search for
money or its equivalent.
Entrance was gained by prying open
a bathroom window. The matter was
reported to the detectives yesterday.
A number of small thefts, the work
of passkey thieves, were also reported.
F. p. Hoffman, who lives at 533
Towne avenue, reported that his room
had been entered early yesterday
morning and several articles of jewelry
stolen.
S. A. Stocker, a roomer at the same
address, reported the loss of a gold
watch and chain and a small amount
of cash.
Leroy Heindel also of the same ad-
dress, discovered his gold watch and
$3.50 in cash missing.

inmate at Hamburger'S
ACCUSTOMED TO LONG DROPS

Within sight of hundreds of pedes-
trians who gazed in wonder while he
was scaling the eastern outside wall
of the Hamburger building, at Eighth
street and Broadway, yesterday after
noon, Steeplejack Charles Miller, rs
years old, the human fly" missed his
footing on one of the crevices and
fell from the fourth floor to the side
walk, a distance of about sixty feet.
He sustained injuries that caused his
death in the county hospital last night
He had been refused permission to
climb the building.
Miller was picked up unconscious by
several persons who had been watch
ing him in his dizzy feat, and taken to
the receiving hospital in the police
ambulance. Later he was removed to
the county hospital.
Shortly before he ascended the Ham
burger building Miller climbed up the
side of the H. w. Hellman building,
Fourth and Spring streets, in the
presence of hundreds of spectators.
After reaching the top of the building
he climbed the slender flag pole, a dis
tance of about forty feet, while those
watching him looked on in awe.
During the past few weeks Miller
had scaled several of the tall buildings
of the city, working his way to the
top by the gripping power of his fingers
and using every crevice to aid him in
his dizzy feat.
Miller had earned a livelihood by
scaling buildings for the past ten
years. During that time he had had
several narrow escapes from death.
He had been living in San Francisco
until a Few weeks ago, when he came
to Los Angeles.
According to members of the Ham
burger company, Miller asked permis-
sion to scale the wall of the building.
but was refused. A few minutes later
they were notified he had gone to a
second floor window and there started
on his perilous journey. BY the time
a house detective arrived he had passed
the third floor and was nearing the
fourth. Before they could get to him
he had fallen. Internal injuries and a
fractured skull caused his death.

EDDIE SAYS FREDERICKS
MAN TO BE CRITICISED
Replies to Charges Involving Non
Enforcement of Strike Law

In reply to a criticism directed

the duty in this respect is the district
attorneys and not his own. Mr.. Ed

l beg to call your attention to an
editorial attack you made on me
in your issue of June IS, wherein
you charge me with standing
against the enforcement of the law
in the present strike situation. For
your better information permit me
to inform you that your attack
should have been directed against
the district attorneys office rather
than the city prosecutors office.
Some months ago, while Mr.. Thorn
as Woolwine occupied the position
which 1 do now, that of city prose-
cutor, Mr.. ]. D. Fredericks the
present incumbent in the district
attorneys Office In this county, and
under the thorough appreciation of
your paper, withdrew from the city
prosecutors Office the authority of
prosecuting disturbances of the
peace, riots and all crimes of vio-
lence, as we'll as all other offenses
under the state law, which the dis
trict attorneys office had formerly
allowed the city prosecuting office
to handle. AS a result of this the
only cases my office has the power
to prosecute are ones arising un-
der the city ordinances. The cases
which you mention do not come un-
der the ordinances. Now, accord
ing to your attack, am not full
filling my duty in matters of dis
turbance of the peace and conspira-
cies against the welfare of the city.
1 could not perform any duty there
If wanted to, and all because of
the aforesaid withdrawal of author
ity by the district attorney from

directing your railings against me
you had better proceed against the
