A story with q deep human interest is Mother, one that needs must reach every heart and stir it to it's depths.

.L|vERYMAN GIVEN
 SUSPENDED SENTENCE
Charles Stevens Cleans up Place and
 Court IS lenIent

Because Judge Thomas, presiding in pended sentence in the case of Charles Stevens, proprietor of the Palo Alto stables, it was pointed out from the bench that Stevens was no less guilty of violating the city nuisance ordinance in permitting manure and livery stable refuse to collect upon the lots adjoin- ing the stables proper. There were two distinct charges, to both of which Stew ems had previously pleaded guilty. They were preferred by Bert o. Brown. city sanitary inspector, acting upon complaint of several residents of the West Adams street and North Fourth avenue section.
 There was no disposition upon the part of the city health department to make an example of Stevens, according to the statement of Sanitary Officer Brown. His arrest came only after he had been notified that he should re- move the objectionable collection from the premises and failed to keep his promises to comply with the order.
 When Stevens appeared in court sev-
 
 not cleaned up the premises but plead ed that he had been too busy to attend to the matter. Accepting the plea of guilty, Judge Thomas set date for sentence at yesterday. It was reported to Judge Thomas yesterday that since the charges had been preferred, SteV- ems had compiled with the require ments of the city ordinance.
 In announcing that sentence would be suspended during such time as Stevens compiled with the ordinance and kept his property in a cleanly con- dition, Judge Thomas stated that he wished it understood that this case should be a warning to other livery men, The case of Stevens was the first in which an arrest has been made. In the other cases, according to Sanitary Officer Brown, d single notice has brought about compliance with the law. And even in the case of Stevens 1t is believed that there was carelessness rather than q genuine disposition to ignore the ordinance

KNOW WHAT THEY WANT
 AND WHERE TO GET II
Why the Confidence People Have in
 the Big Curio Store.

The people of this community and many people far away from this com munity know what they want and where they can find it,-at the reliable Big Curio Store which has been in business here for a quarter of a cen tury In ali that time it has never sold an article that was not genuine, that was not precisely what it was said to be.
 Its great reputation as headquarters for Navajo blankets rests upon the fact that 1t has never sold for a Ma vajo blanket one that was not made by a Navajo from native wool prepared by the Indians
 For a quarter of century there has been standing offer of $1,000 to any one who will show that an Indian blanket sold by the Big Curio store was not a genuine Indian blanket. There has also been and is yet a standing offer to buy back at any time any blanket sold by the Big Curio Store at the price paid for it.
 Neither of these proposition $ has ever been presented to the Big Curio Store and in all this time, the store has never taken back but one blanket that it has sold and that was not at the instance of the purchaser who yielded only after frequent solicitation and returned from Honolulu where she is now living, to the store a blanket for SIPS though she had paid only $65 for it some years before.
 This offer applies to all Indian silver and baskets as well as blankets.-Ad- VertiSement

Meant Much In tho Old Days, Though
They Seem Peculiar to the
People Of Today.

Ancient requests for having bells

pose Of guiding travellers by night are
quite numerous. which is hardly to be
wondered at when one considers the
apologies for roads and the absence of
fences In the good old days"

woman of the place with a new petit

In the old days, when rushes were
strewn on the floor in lieu of carpets,
many persons left requests OF money
and land for providing rushes for the
floors Of churches. Their use, Of
course, has long been discontinued,
but in certain places the church war
dens attend to the preservation Of
their rights by cutting a little grass
each year and strewing it on the
church floor.

EARLY HEARD CALL Of WHO

His Bent In tho Earliest Years
".. OF hIs Long Life. i =

When I was q boy in Scotland ]
was fond Of everything that was Wild
and all my life I've been growing
fonder and fonder of wild places and
wild creatures, wrote John Muir in
the Atlantic. Fortunately around my
native town Of Dunbar, by the stormy
North sea, there was no lack Of wild
ness, though most Of the land lay in
smooth cultivation. With red-blooded
playmates, wild as myself, loved to
wander in the fields to hear the birds
sing, and along the seashore to gaze
and wonder at the shells and sea
weeds, cells and crabs in the pools
among the rocks when the tide was
low. And. best of all, in glorious
storms to watch the waves laundering

ruins of the old Dunbar castle when
the sea and the sky the waves and
the clouds, were mingled together as

I ran away to the seashore or the
fields almost every Saturday, and ev-
cry day in the school vacations except
Sundays, though solemnly warned
that must play at home in the gar
den and back yard, lest should learn
to think bad thoughts and say bad
words. All in vain. In spite Of the
sure sore punishments that followed
like shadows, the natural inherited
wildness in our blood ran true on its
glorious course as invincible and I'M
stoppable as the stars.

Influence Of the Shirt.

You may talk about education, and
science, and philosophy, and skill, and
knowledge generally, but they all lack
their full truth unless they are super.
vised by the spirit, by the faith, by the
aspiration. The beginning of all things
was the spirit, and the end of all
things will be the spirit. and the mat
ter between loses its high Significance
and it's relation to either If it becomes
simply hard, earthly fact All prog.
ress, social or individual, depends
upon the recognition of the divine in
every fact and deed. It wouldn't take
ten years to bring a millennium IL this
doctrine was practiced.1 We are now
confronting great social and political
problems: their solution would be
easy II faith, love, justice, honor and
the other forms Of spiritual force were
given full play. But they are not. The
opposite seems to have the right Of
way. Every man who has any hope
of lettering his fellows will have to
drop his envy, his spite, his ill will,
his hatred and come square on a spir.
itual footing or his struggle will be In
vain.-Ohio State Journal.
