"Within the Law


The minimum wage question and re-
cent agitation thereupon play an impor-
tant part in within the Law" which
will be seen at The Majestic Wednes-
day, matinee and evening. The heroine
Of Bayard Veiller's melodrama is a
poor shop girl, underpaid and underfed,
who, after serving three years in pris-
on for an offense that she did not COM
nit, and trying vainly to obtain decent
employment, becomes the head of a
band of "crooks" and with their as
sistance takes her revenge upon society.
AS the leader of "Joe Garson,' the
forger; English Eddie Griggs,' a
thief; " "Aggie Lynch" an amusing lit
tie blackmailer, and ,sther confeder-
ates, "Mary Turner obtains enormous
sums of money, but manages always to
keep "Within the Law"
She even hires lawyer to help her
evade wrongdoing which is punishable.
1t is curious to learn, as one does in
this play, that there are many forms
of crime which are practically legal.
Another interesting feature of the
drama is the introdu ,tion Of a Maxim
silencer, which is shown in this play
for the first time on any stage. 1t is
device by>which revolver may be
fired without producing report of any
kind. How "Joe Carson" makes use
of this formidable gun is a point of
pivotal interest in working out of the
plot. "Within the Law is in four
acts and there are more thrills to the
situations of the act than were ever be-
fore written into one drama by any
author. Well-known names of players
will be seen here in Mr.. Veiller's alb
sorbing play. Clara Joel, the charm
ing young actress, will assume the role
of Mary Turner, the shop girl heroine.

MOTHER OF QUADRUPLETS
California Legislature Asked to Vote
Her $1,000

Sacramento, Cal, March 29.-High
tribute is paid to the Shasta county
woman who few days ago gave birth
to four children in a resolution pre-
sented by Senator Scott, of San Fran
cisco, who further asks that the State
Legislature vote $4,000 for the hum
bic parents of these quadruplets, who
have raised nine other youngsters.
Scott S resolution, which is consid-
cred by other Senators as being decid-
edly unique, is as follows:
Whereas, Mrs. c. o. Mcknight,
wife of Shasta county farmer, has
now added to the glory of this State
by giving birth to four children at
one time, thereby increasing her pro-
geny to thirteen and adding four
prospective citizens good and true to
the population of the State; and
Whereas, the said Mrs. Mcknight
has followed out the Scriptural man.
date and has been fruitful and multi
piled beyond the widest dreams of ex-
peetation; and
Whereas, the said Mrs. Mcknight
has by deed instead of mere empty
words declared a refutation of the
theory that race suicide prevails in
the State of California; and
Whereas, the husband of the said
Mrs. Mcknight is engaged in the in
dustry of farming and in spite of the
fruitfulness of the soil the acreage of
his farm is inadequate to support SO
numerous progeny; now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, BY the Senate, the AS
sembly concurring, that the Finance
committee be instructed to draw up
and report a bill providing for an ap-
propriation of $4,000 to be presented
to the said Mrs. Mcknight in recogni-
ton of the great boon which she has
conferred on the State of California. -

HERE IS A WON.
DERFU Ill COW

In the Live Stock and Dairy de-
partment of the current number of
Farm and Fireside appears an inter
esting account of remarkable COW
owned at Woodland, California, that
has given 10000 pounds of milk in
year. What this means is EXPLAIN
ed in the fol owing extract taken
from the article about her:
ut Is a most astounding achieve
ment in milk production. 1t means
that this great milk producing ma
chine called Title Alcartra gave a
10 quart pail of milk every milking,
morning, noon and night, for eleven
months of the year-for such COW
would have to be MIXED at least
three times a day.
This sort of COW is like the horse
which can trot mile in two minutes
not creature which every man
may hope to possess, but mark to-.
be set as the possible attainment!
On the average farm Title would die
ol iii usage. She could not safely
be chased by dogs or worried by
swearing men and stone throwing
boys. 1t would not do to take the
milk stool to her as part OF her
education, nor to leave her lowing
at the bars until nine, either morn
ing or night, waiting to be MIXED.
Under such conditions Titles great
udder would be ruined by pressure
of milk or the bruising and tearing
of running and jumping about to
avoid punishment.
she must be wonderfully vigor-
Gus animal, but her vigor is directed
to milk production, and not argument
