At One Hundred and First street and
Broadway q man was talking into a
telephone. Presently he was heard to
say: "An right, I'll come. I am now
at Twenty-third street snd Broadway.
I'll be up In about half an hour"
That chap seems to have lost his
bearings," said a man who had over
heard the error In locality.
"He knows where he Is all right"
said a drug clerk. Hes just putting
up a blur. It is quite a common bluff.
Men who have a mighty high regard
for truth at all other times do not hest
tate to ten q whopper about where
they are when talking over the tele-
phone. I have heard persons swear
over that wire that they were tele-
phoning from points ali the way from
Hoboken to Amityvilie. They were
not seasoned liars, either; Just wanted
a few minutes grace apparently and
thought the easiest way to get it was
to make out they were. a mile or two
farther away than they really were

For that matter. most sane people take the same stand We be- republicans will he found voting against it as for 1t.
 The object of the extremists is. of course. to put California in the La Toilette column and thereby create an unfortunate split in the republican party of this state. They can not eff fec, any purpose of value or advan- tage to themselves or to LaFollette who will not In any case he nominat- ed. and could not be elected were he nominated. but they may succeed in creating discord in the republican ranks, in fine. the single effect they can produce Is to promote democratic suc- that success would inevitably be fol lowed by an attack all along the line on the protection now enjoyed hy Cali fornia industries

Keepers son. talented. handsome. won. derfuliy eloquent and magnetic, and apparently patriotic. attempted to re- store 10 the Eternal City" her de- parted liberty and glory. He even went so lar as to dream oi United Italy" with Rome as It's capital. as was the case in the proud days of the Punic wars. when the eloquence of the Catos and the military genius of the Scipios made Roman citizenship the proudest heritage of the world
 The Roman people. proud of their brilliant countrymen. met him more than half way. and in an amazingly short time Rienzi found himself "Trib. une"-the leader of the people. He chopped on heads of some eighty of The nobility. assumed full charge of the affairs of state. and inaugurated jus tice and prosperity. All Enrope rang with the young Tribunes fame. His name was upon the tongue of every one who loved the true and the right.
 And then something happened that had not been counted on. Rienzi was suddenly stricken with a very severe case of the disease known as big head" and from being the leader of his peopel he attempted 10 become their master. He would listen to no one. He would make his own will supreme. In his arrogance and conceit he tried 10 make himself a god. before whom all should kneel in abject submission. Hot iy indignant at the rashness of the mans pretensions. the outraged peo. pie beat him to death and threw his mangled body into the street for the dogs to devour.
