Earning an Honest Quarter

From theeIouthS Companion.
 Winslow Homer was a great painter who had the unusual good fortune to have his merit appreciated early In life. but no one ever presumed less on wide rep utation. Affection was weakness from which his sense of humor saved him.
 Tn his biography lately written by w. H. Downs, is printed the story of a New York gentleman of wealth and artistic tastes who made the journey to Scar boro, Me, where Homer had his studio, to make the artistic acquaintance.
 On his arrival he found the studio door locked; the owner was nowhere to he seen. He wandered about the cliffs for awhile, until he met a man In rough old suit of clothes, rubber boots and a bat tered felt hat who carried a fish pole. He aceosted the fisherman thus:
 'I say, my man, if you can tell me where I can find Winslow Homer have a quarter for you.'
 "Wheres your quarter?" said the fish erman
 He handed 1t over and was astounded to hear the quizsital Yankee fisherman say, T am Winslow Homer .
 The sequel of this unusual introduction was that Homer took his new acquaint- ance back to the studio. entertained him, and before he left sold him picture.

Through the Outlooking Glass
mn the New York Evening Post

From the New York Evening Post.
 Soon they came to the top of the hill and Alice saw a large, heavy man with genial smile standing on the lawn of the White House.
 'srhat," said the Red Knight with frown, lis a deceptive candidate for the presidency"
 why do you call him deeeptive?' said Alice.
 Because he always says what he means" replied the Red Knight.
 "But that isn't deceiving at all,' said Alice,
 'Yes, it is." said the Red Knight, an- grily. "A man like that deceives peoples hopes for novelty and excitement. Now I am a receptive candidate.''
 q don't know what that means, either" said Alice.
 'ir means" said the Red Knight, "a candidate who receives his views and his principles as he moves along. am also perceptive candidate. because I am us quick as lightning at pereeiving which way the wind blows. F Furthermore l am an inoeptive candidate and a susceptive candidate and an deceptive candidate. That big man you see over there is my friend. But he has queer notions about some things. For instance, he says he'd rather be a White Knight than be presi- dent"
 'Aren't you gong 10 sdy Ioou ihoi IT ing to him. if he is your friend?' said Alice.
 ''Oh, mo-" said the Red Knight. "I never do things like other people. treat my friends and my enemies alike. give them all a square deal"
 Tt seems to me, then" safd Alice, that what you want to do is to walk over and shake hands and say, I hope you are feel ing quite well, and here is square deal for you"
 That would never do," said the Red Knight. ''When I give a friend square deal give it to him between the shoulder blades especially If he has broad should CTS like this man in front of us.'
 q don't see that the size of the mans shoulders has anything to do with It. said Alice.
 That is because you have forgotten your geometry" said the Red Knight. '1f you hadn't you'd know that a square deal on the hypothenuse is equal to the sum Of the square deals on the other two sides

Municipal Diseases

From the Indianapolis News
 Dr. Howard $. Anders of Philadelphia has paid much attention to what he calls, not inappropriately. municipal diseases. !" and shows that street dust is an active element in the propagation of disease; that it is a pernicious and persistent men ace to the public health because of the ir- ritating and infeetive matter it carries animal and egetable--which seethes with rottenness and in dry weather is blown into noses, houses, clothing by gusty winds or set astir fin noxious, stlhing clouds by automobiles and street cars. Along with this come the dust borne dis eases-catarrhal tonsilar, bronchial, infin- enza, rheumatic and cutaneous. He notes that most of the so-called colds are dust infections got in places where people con- gregate and traffic circulates freely. The writer does not advocate the abolition of the machines that set the dust awhirl to be conveyed into houses. but favors the dustless operation of automobile vacuum street cleaners.

FRANKLIN GETS FINE

| BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONSl
LOS ANGELES, March Bert H.
Franklin was fined $4,000 by Judge
Cabaniss. Assistant District Attorney
Ford announced that $4,000 taken
from Ford al the time of his arrest
would be used TO pay the fine. The
fine followed Franklin's plea of guilty
on the charge of corruptly influencing
a Mcnamara juror.
Replying to the direct question whe-
ther an agreement had existed where
by Franklin would be fined the exact
sum taken when arrested, Judge Ca
baniss said: If there was an agree
ment, | was not aware of it. and but
for the district attorneys Offices rec
ommendation that justice would best
be served by fine | would have i'm
posed Imprisonment also"
1t is generally believed the district
attorneys office will hold the $4,000 and
use it as evidence against Darrow. The
fine will be paid after the Darrow trial.

Bigger Than the Brag

Now and again during recent years
the Sun man has visited the Imperial
valley. and written of some of the
things he has seen there, and also
dreamed of some of the possibilities in
the way of production. Which same
reports have sometimes been queS-
toned by folks here at home, as being
100 big to be true. The story of what a
former Highlander, Nels Jacobson, has
done there in seven years of ranching,
published in yesterday mornings Sun,
completely Outclasses anything the
Sun man has dared TO guess. His
$1,000 in seven years grew not only to
5137,500. which he received for his
ranch and stock, but he has other in
vestments that Imperial furnished the
basis for Not every farmer can DO
that-perhaps few of them will, be-
cause of JacobsOn's peculiar ability to
farm on a big scale. But the people
who know Jacobson will now be ready
to believe almost any story that comes
out of that mawelOusly productive val
ley, where everything grows amazing

Charles E. Howard Disappears

Charles E. Howard has disappeared
from his home and the haunts of those
who know him. He left home last
week telling his wife that he was 60
ing into the valley with local real
estate man and that he would be back
in Yuma the afternoon of the same
day He has not been seen or heard
of since. Mrs. Howard has searched
diligently for a clew or trace of him,
but has only met with disappointment.
Mr.. Howard came to Yuma several
months ago. He has some stock which
he has hired out to the grading camps
and his wife formerly lived in CaleXico,
where he is we'll known. Mrs. How
ard was continuing the search for her
husband or some clue that would
throw light upon the mystery of his
disappearance, but without results

Pictures of Volcano Lake

Col. J. A. Ockerson is home from a
visit TO the Volcano lake country.
where he has been inspecting the
work under way to control the Colo
rado river. He brought home with
him some interesting pictures of Vol
cano lake and its surroundings. These
pictures show the spouting geysers of
mud and the cones which surround
them. One picture shows the interior
of the crater on Black butte and is
most interesting. The bottom of the
crater is 100 feet below the rim and
is almost perfectly round, with sand
floor. showing some growth of grease
wood. The crater on the floor level
is SOC feet in circumference.-Yuma
