 Gibbon is charged with accosting Mrs. Alice Stebbins Wells of the Los Angeles force as she stood in front of the Arace depot
 "Ill arrest you" said Mrs. Wells.
 Good joke, said Gibbon, and he winked again. Whereupon Mrs. Wells showed her star and led him off to jail.
 Gibbon was released on bail today a sadder but wiser man.

Tale of a Model Country Town.

A certain country town has $500
population. is not the county seat.
is more than forty miles from the
nearest city. and depends almost en-
tirely upon the neighboring farms
for its prosperity. In appearance this
town differs little from thousand
others of its class, except that the
three garages are a surprise. and the
lawns and houses might be remem.
bered as neater and more trim than
ordinary.
Ask a question and It leads you
far. You notice, perhaps. that the
press of the country newspaper is
run by an electric motor. The power
and light plant is the property of
the town and pays revenue of $500
month into the public treasury.
The heating plant for downtown
stores also is owned by the people,
Ut utilities the waste steam from the
power plant and cuts the merchants
fuel bills in half. A country physi-
clans son. who In this little town
now is completing $4,000 hospital
for general practice. has credit for
the suggestion that the steam be con-
nected with the water system, so that
II the water-pipes ever become infect
