AIDING MOTHER
TO FREEING BROTHER

Raphael Huschalk turned from broth
er to mother in Judge Chambers court
yesterday and said he would rather
make the Christmas of the latter happy
than to spend his money to keep the
brother from behind the bars.
AS the result. Jules Huschalk will
spend his Christmas and New Year be-
sides in a cell of the city jail, provid-
ing he is unable to raise $50 to pay the
fine assessed against him by Judge
Chambers for following and accosting
Blanche Heyer, a clerk in a downtown
department store.
Miss Heyer said Huschalk followed
her several blocks and persisted in his
attentions until Ewakichi Sunny, a Jap
anese florist, came to her assistance by
threatening to thrash Huschalk. The
latter admitted that he had tipped his
hat and smiled at Miss Heyer.
You are guilty as charged" said
Judge Chambers. You are fined $50,
with the alternative of thirty days in
jail"
Raphael Huschalk pleaded with the
court to reduce the fine, but being un-
successful he turned to his brother and
told him that he could not help him.
II have $780," he said, but our mother
needs it, and I would rather make her
happy at Christmas time than to pay
your fine"

Forest Fairyland to Charm
Hundreds of Poor Children

Three hundred poor children will be
guests of Mrs. Robert Marsh and her
two daughters, Martha and Florence,
at their home in Westchester place at
a Christmas party. Each child who is
invited will be one who has never seen
a Christmas celebration before. Frau
Johanna Won Wagner has helped Mrs.
Marsh in inviting the children who are
to enjoy this treat, all of them from
the poorer quarter of the city.
Elaborate arrangements will trans
form the magnificent grounds into a
veritable Christmas forest and the
Christmas trees will be included among
other trees, all of which will sparkle
with simulated snowflal1es and frost
crystals. While the visitors are ipves-
tigating the beauty of the grounds an
orchestra will play and later all the
guests will gather around a fireplace
at one side of the tennis court, where
the freight from big logs will brighten
the twilight dusk. Hot cocoa, cakes,
fruit and bonbons will bo served, and
then Santa Claus will arrive.
Instead of the customary reindeer,
the sleigh Will be drawn by group
of little Yama Yama girls, who Will
deliver Santa and his great load of
gift boxes right into the throng Of
eager children. There will be box
for each guest, plainly marked with
the name and containing toys, some
pretty article of wearing apparel as
hair ribbons for the girls and ties for
the boys, candy and huts.

BABY BICYCLIST PROVES
A REGULAR 'SCORCHER'
Three-Year-0Id Tot Takes Four
Mile Ride and He Comes
Home Feeling Fine

on a tiny bicycle made to order,
Harry Legouby, aged three years and
five months old Of 2731 Brighton ave-
nue., is developing into an expert bi-
cycle rider. Five months ago his par
ents had to have a wheel made Tor
him, as he is small for his age and
they could not find one small enough
for him. Now he rides all day long,
going two or three miles at q time.
Sunday he took a fOur-mile ride, ac-
companied by his mother on her BIZ
cycle Harry rode with so much stren-
uOsity that his mother was quite IA
tigued at the end of the ride, while he
was not in the least tired. He is
sturdy little fellow with sparkling
brown eyes and a determined chin
which indicates his mastery over things
in general which come his way, and
bicycles in particular. His parents
have a hard time to keep him from
passing every minute of the day on
his wheel. and to keep him off the
busy streets of town with it.
The parents and friends of the little
fellow are convinced that he is the
youngest bicycle rider in the city.
While he is doing only straight away
riding now, and needs his mothers help
when he is getting on his wheel, it is
expected that he will learn TO get on
alone soon and win master some of the
simpler performances of the trick rid
ers.

FERRIS HARTMAN AVERTS
PANIC 1T OPERA HOUSE
Goodness of Actor Over a False
Alarm of Fire Prevents a
Disaster at the Grand

The coolness and ready resourceful-
ness of Ferris Hartman, coupled with
the bravery of his two little children,
prevented a panic at the Grand opera
house yesterday afternoon at mo-
ment when disaster seemed inevitable.
The theater was packed to the doors,
fully half of the seats being occupied
nv children. 1t was a special chill
dren's matinee of Tho foymaker."
The performance was progressing
smoothly when suddenly a woman sit
ting close to the stage jumped from
her seat, stumbled into the aisle and
ran Historically to the exit.
For a moment there was pause. Then
an uneasy rustling. The gallery START
ed to stampede and in the parquet
CRYING children began an unreaSoninS
scramble for safety Other women
started for the doors and then some
one raised the cry of fire.
The chorus tried to drown the noise
In the audience BY singing as loudly
as possible. Then Hartman made his
appearance. At once he realized what
had happened, appreciated the danger,
and in an instant he contriEed solu-
ton. Turning to the wings he called
to his children. They answered their
fathers call and he took them by the
hand.
"There is no danger" he said. None.
These are my children. 1 love them,
ladies, just as you love your children,
and if there was danger l assure you
l should try to get them out of the
theater instead of holding them here
on the stage"
By this time Walter De Leon and
Muggins Davies had come on the stage
Smiling, they, too, reassured the terror
stricken audience.
In the audience itself men and Wo-
men, cooler than their neighbors, de-
voted themselves to stilling the panic.
Down in front one man pushed back
into her seat a fear woman
who was struggling to reach the aisle.
Then he caught and held her little
daughter who was trying to climb over
the back of a seat on her way toward
the door.
Following Hartman's speech someone
started to applaud. Tho ushers took
it up and in another moment the dan
ger had passed. The chorus retired,
De Leon and Muggins Davies began
their duet and the performance was
resumed.
The trouble, so far as its source
could be determined, originated with
one woman who thought she smelled
smoke and who at once became fear
stricken.

What Happened to the Militant Press.

The one newspaper of San Francis
co that continued to denounce graft
and encourage Heney was the "Bul-
letin." The Interests desired to Grip
pie and punish the Bulletin" and to
reward the newspapers that did their
will, says Charles Edward Russell in
Success Magazine. All business houses
are dependent for money supplies up
on their banks. One day in the
height Of the conflict the head of a
great department store, which is also
great advertiser, stepped into the
bank where he kept his accounts and
wanted 100000. It is one of the
most famous banks in the West, and
directly connected with the Southern
Pacific Railroad, which is connected
with the Standard Oil, which is con-
nected with about everything else
that makes money.
The president paused and hemmed
and hawed.
"You know, Mr.. x" says he.
money is very scarce in San Fran
cisco.'
II suppose so." says Mr.. x,
carelessly.
Very scarce" says the banker,
"and we are making no large loans
except to our personal friends"
"Oh, WE'LL" says Mr.. x, "you
and I have been friends for many
years."
YES" says the banker, "but il
let you have this money it will be on
the grounds OF personal friendship,
and I shall ask you to do me a favor
in return
What Is it," says Mr.. x.
II see you advertise in the 'Bulle-
tin.'" =
"The favor ask Is that you take
out your advertisement there. That
paper Is injurious to the best inter-
ests of San Francisco and of Busi-
ness. We are not disposed to assist
houses that advertise in t. Bulle-
In Advertise in the papers friendly

Mr.. k explained that he ad-
vertised In the Bulletin" only for the
sake of the trade he thus secured. In
the end they reached a compromise
By which Mr.. * reduced by
three-fourths his advertisement in
the Bulletin" and on these terms he
got the money.
