DEAD? NOT BY ANY
MEANS, PROTESTS MIKE
Somebody, Arrah! Who Was It?
Dropped Brick on Cocoa

Mike DohertyS is looking for the
Mick that threw that brick yester-
day. There is an old song by that
name, but it never struck Mike SO
forcibly as yesterday. Neither did a
brick. He was standing under the
new hall of records, the construction
of which is just at present making life
miserable for the court house boys.
He was watching the men sling the
hod up in the steel rafters of the par
TALLY completed building.
Somebody dropped a brick. 1t must
have started toward earth some dis
tance from the ground because it made
quite an impression on Mikes skull
and cross-bones. Had it not been for
a stiff-croWned derby and a can of
tomatoes he was carrying concealed
in it the brick might have made a still
deeper impression with the little Irish
man. But as it was, Mike seemed TO
rise to meet the speeding brick. He
started a substantial bit of oratory
fitting for the occasion, but dozed off
in the middle of it.
Attaches of the justices courts
brought their feet down from the
clerks desk with a resounding bang
and hurried to revive the dead. Mike
was lying fiat on his back looking
straight ahead. His gaze was riveted
somewhere between Mars and the
comet. They couldn't tell. But it was
riveted. Someone suggested that he
was dead.

briclkll be a dead one if Oi lay me
hands on him.

DECLARES HYDROPHOBIA
EPIDEMIC IS IMMINENT
Health Board Issues Appeal for
Strict Enforcement of the
MuzzIng Ordinance

Declaring that an epidemic of hydro
phobia is imminent in Los Angeles,
members of the board of health last
night made a public appeal to citizens.
The board recites that within the last
four months four human beings have
died of rabies, and that within the last
week six dogs have been proved af-
feCted with disease.
Continuing, the board says:
"The board Furthermore appeals to
all owners of dogs in the city to lend
their cooperation with us in seeing
that the provisions of the ordinance
which pertains to muzzling, or the
confining of dogs, be strictly carried
out as we feel that by strict en-
forcement of these provisions the pres
ent danger can be eliminated in pc
riod of from sixty to ninety days.
"The board feels that unless there
is a cooperation on the part of dog
owners and those who have the power
to enforce the ordinance. the matter
will drag along for a period of many
months, and possibly years, resulting
in the end not only in an unwarranted
number of deaths to human beings,
but also be the cause of an unneces-
sary hardship by an undue length of
the enforcement of the muzzling ordi-
nance"

GIVE UP ELLA AND ERNA

Jebsen & Ostrander have chartered three
big freighters to take the place of the
steamers Ella and Erna. which have been
plying between Central American ports and
Victoria for the past year and half Their
charter on the passenger boats has expired
and it is not probable that passenger ser
vice will be resumed until after the rainy
season in Central America. The Ella and
Erna are owned by Capt. Jebsen of Ham
burg. the father of one member of the firm
engaged in the trade on this coast
IT is not expected that the big frelghters

steamers as they have all the freight they
can carry between Victoria and Mexican
ports. on account OF the present heavy de-
mand for wheat in Mexico. one or the
steamers Is the big British turret steam
er ClaverIey. and another the British
steamer Knight of ST. George. The Jebsen
line did as big a passenger business with
the Ella and Erna and It is expected that
larger steamers will be placed on the run

Origin Of Common phrase,

It is generally assumed that the ex-
preston Ito the bitter end" is Of
nautical origin. When there is no
windlass on board ship. the cable is
fastened to pieces of wood called
bits. SO that when the whole Of the
rope is payed out the seaman has
reached the bitter end, or In other
words. he has done all that is pos.
sible The phrase should be Ito the
better end" and arose from the fact
that when, the cable of a ship had been
payed out to its fullest extent 1t had
run out to the end which was little
used, and therefore to the better end.
The latter Is probably the correct
term, as. 1t is used by Defoe in Rob
inson Crusoe," when he describes. the
storm OF Yarmouth. He says: I'VE
rode with two anchors ahead and two
anchors veered out to the better end"
While. on the other hand, Dr. Brewer
calls attention to Proverbs 5:4. "Her
end is bitter as wormwood" and sug-
gests that possibly the origin OF the
phrase lies therein.
