18th has the following:
In the Justice court this after
noon. the case against Eugene
Segale, alleged to have rented q
house for immoral purposes located
within, 800 yards of a school house,
was dismissed upon motion OF the
district attorney and a new com
plant issued in which the word

being argued and authorities pre-.
Sented late this afternoon, no
decision having been given on the
motion to quash as we go to press.

 Because" replied the boy, If you was my dads little boy, an you heard what he said about Aunt Eliza comin' to visit us with her children, and Aunt Eliza had asked you if you weren't all glad to see her, an you told the truth, like did, you'd think there was a place where your trousers was mighty thin after dad had finished with you"
 He went back to his desk, and as he sat down with great care there was an expression on his face that showed the great lesson of truth had been, at least in measure, lost on him.

What He Thought.

A man awoke one night with a toothache.
 He groaned. he turned and twisted. he howled. he sat up and lay down again. He arranged his pillow and pressed 1t against his face with an- other groan.
 His wife slept on and never moved
 He wanted attention, he wanted sympathy, and he groaned again.
 Still she slept.
 Injury added to the pain; 1t wasn't treating a fellow right to sleep like that when he was suffering with a painful tooth, and he called her name.
 Still she slept
 He had groaned three times as loud as he could, and she didn't awake.
 Then the baby. in its crib in another room, sighed softly in its sleep.
 The woman was on her feet and standing beside its crib. anxious-eyed, ln an instant.

democratic love feast. The living, hu
 man suggestion was intensified when
 the king and queen, the prince and
 Princess Mary. with her simple frock
 and fiuffy hair, sat under the canopy
 and glanced from one to the other
 like a happy family.
 The king, in admiral's uniform,
 looked as brown as any sailor of his
 fleet. The queen was in a plain, neat fitting dress of pale-green silk, embroi- dered with lace and accentuated by
 stripes of black satin about the bod ice. Her moderate sized hat was dec orated with white feathers. Her ap- pearance was most graceful and most motherly. The Welsh, having keen eyes for sympathetic faces, displayed again and again their lively admira- -tion of the queen. As Prince Edward knelt on a footstool before his father to receive from the kings hands the mantle, sword, ring and coronet, his head was bent and the back of his neck, not quite far enough under the canopy to be shaded, looked as if it were blistering in the sun. The boys straight, fair hair was combed flat over his head. His surcoat or tunic of royal purple, drawn in at the waist with purple band, and with a fringe of ermine on the skirt, was very beau tiful. His white satin tights, white silk stockings and patent leather pumps revealed a boyish figure of ideal proportions and shapeliness. His face, oval and boyish, is emphatically attractive. He is almost as tall as his father and promises to develop into a man of much sturdier appear ance.
 The queen is distinctly taller than the king. Princess Mary might be any sweet little school girl of fine birth. The most dazzling scene of the day was when the king and queen, leading Prince Edward in his trained mantle of investiture, stepped from under the canopy into the full blaze of the slant ing western sun. The answering showers of diamond light were almost too much for the naked eye.
 The color flood in the castle sur passed in richness anything else that has been seen in connection with the coronation. The great choir of Welsh women, sitting or standing in a square on lofty seats at the east end of the castle, was dressed in high black hats, with narrow vivid green bands and scarlet capes. Scarlet and gold uni forms appeared in spots throughout the throng of 10000 people. The uni forms about the royal canopy made a center of color so intense as to pain the eyes. The women, from end to end of the castle, held parasols of every imaginable hue. The dresses and hats exhausted the solar spec trum. The final touches to the as- cending scene was afforded by the trumpeters on the tower heights, in their gold coats and peaked purple caps, holding their silver trumpets draped with embroidered silk. Only one thing was above them-the royal standard floating from the vertical flagstaff on the apex of Eagle tower.

Walked Home.

Any pigeon fancier who wants to enter a bird in a slow race need but communicate with Charley Otto. He has one he thinks is positively the slowest feathered biped in the world. Otto has been pigeonist for a good many years, and during the St Louis exposition of 1905 he took part in the pigeon fly His birds were all marked by the usual identification bands on their legs, of course. All got in but one, and in the five years that have passed MT. Otto had completely for gotten about that bird.
 But the other day when I went into the cote" says Otto. q saw an old pigeon there that looked familiar He seemed to be perfectly at home, SO by and by I picked him up. Sure enough, 1t was Thunderbolt H., the pigeon that didn't report after the St. Louis race"
 And was he in good health7"
 "Oh, yes," said MT. Otto Perfectly good health. A little thin, perhaps trained down pretty fine by the exer- else of the race, but otherwise all right. Only his toenails were worked down to the quick by the long walk" Cincinnati Times-Star.

Did he know any thing about Welsh history or the Welsh heart? Wales was left out of imperial itineraries It was not, people, had on troubles, possessed no sensibilities.

California Memorial to stevenson.

California Memorial to Stevenson.
 The Robert Louis Stevenson me morial, recently erected upon the side of Mount St. Helena by the women of Napa county, has proved to be a fit ting object to commemorate the fame of the delightful Scotch writer whose association with the district in which the monument Is erected Is one of which the people of that district may well be proud. The Ladies' club of Napa county had charge of the collec- ton of the funds for the erection of the monument and had no difficulty in raising the necessary sum within a very short time.
 The monument Is erected near Cal istoga at an elevation of 2,400 feet, and upon the trail which leads up the side of Mount St. Helena to the sum- init. It was at this place that in the early days Stevenson brought his bride, and there he wrote The Sill yerado Squatters." This fact is com memorated in the monument-CaIis- toga Correspondence Oakland Trib- une.

EPIC OF HUGH GLASS
OLD ACCOMPLISHMENTS WONDER.
 FIJI BATTLE FOR LIFE.
Horribly MangIed by Grizzly Bear, He Was Left in the Wilderness
 to Perish.

An epic story in its essence is the story of heroic men battling, aided or or frustrated by the superhuman John c. Neihart, in The River and l. says that Americans do not write epics, they live them; and he recalls the story of old Hugh Glass, which he declares to be wonderful enough to be the foundation of a tremendous Aeschylean drama. He describes him as a giant to endure, and an angel to forgive.
 He was in the Leavenworth cam paign against the Arkaras, and after ward went as a hunter with the Henry expedition. He had a friend, a mere bay, and the two were very close.
 One day Glass, who was in advance of the party. beating up the country for game. fell in with a grizzly. and when the main party came up, he lay horribly mangled, with the bear standing over him. They killed the bear. but the old man seemed done for. His face had all it's features scraped of, and one of his legs went wabbly when they lifted him.
 It was merely a matter of one more man being dead, so the expedition pushed on, leaving the young friend with several others to see the old man underground.
 But the old man was a fighter and refused to die, though he was uncon- scious. He fought stubbornly for sew eral days. but it seemed plain enough that he would have to let go soon. So the young friend and the others left the old man in the wilderness to finish up the job by himself. They took his weapons and hastened after the main party, for the country was hostile.
 But oue day old Glass woke up and got one of his eyes open. When he saw how things stood, he vowed that he would live. merely for the sake of killing his false friend. He crawled to spring near by, where he found bush of ripe bullberries. He waited day after day for strength. and finally started out to crawl a small matter of 100 miles to the nearest fort
 He did 1t. Also he found his friend after much wanderings-and forgave him.-Youth Companion.

RemarkahIe "RemedY.D

Humanity has always had a weak ness for medical prescriptions. Here. for example, is an old Scotch remedy for consumption that was once much in vogue. You catch twenty-one large earthworms which must be wiped clean" Soak them in a quart of old Malaga for twelve hours. Then drain them of and add to the wine sliced nutmeg, a little saffron, and piece of gold leaf. It was to be taken in large glasses "as long as you think convenient" By leaving out the earth worms 1t is easy to believe that this was a good and comfortable medicine and that it would prove convenient" for quite long time. Another favor ite remedy was the baked lungs of a fox mixed with white sugar. steeped in water and bottlef
