origin Of an Old Phrase.

"By hook or by crook" caused lot
of trouble when the inquiry into the
Cafe Parisien fire was continued at the
courthouse before Fire Commissioner
Ritchie.
J. T. Hackett, representing fire in
suraRce companies, was handing the
hotel register to a witness when Leon
Garneau, representing the cafe pro-
prietors, objected on the ground that
a previous witness had given the
names of guests in the hotel on the
night of The fire. Mr.. Hackett was

much incensed and raised the point
that Mr.. Garneau was warning the
witness. "My learned friend has
gained his point" he said, "as I knew
he would, by hook or crook"
This angered Mr.. Garneau, who
wanted to know If that phrase i'm
piled that he was a crook, or was us
ing crooked methods; If so, he would
invoke the ruling that only courtesy
allowed counsel for companies to be
present in hearings of thlA kind,

to her was the diamond engagement
ring that Edgar had given her on the
never-to-be-forgotten evening when
she had blushingly promised to take
him 'for better or for worse"
Cowardice was not one of Isabelle's
follies. THE sooner the better she
had murmured to herself, and after
a careful toilet had gone resolutely to
her husbands dressing room, there to
put the whole sordid story before him,
and ask for help once more.
But she had reckoned without the
wet towel and the headache and the
morning-afte crouch And so as we
have seen her mission had ended in
failure.

BOYS We'll Pleased
With Treatment

Harry Lay of San Francisco, one
Of the men in charge OF the Colum.
ba Park Boys club which gave such
an enjoyable entertainment at the
opera house last evening, was seen
this morning just before starting on
his hike to Lake Tahoe and asked
how the boys liked Carson and the
treatment they received. He stated
this is the first time the boys have
been out OF California into another
state on their hikes, with the eXcep-
ton Of last summer Whcn they got
as far as Glcnbrook. and that the
manner in which the boys were treat
cd in the city by everybody, the cour-
tesics extended to them by the gov
ernor and everyone else would never
be forgotten. 1t was revelation to
them and the packed house and ap-
probation shown by the audience
was way above and beyond any re-
ception they had ever lHceived.
The audience inspired the boys to
such an extent that he never. saw
them put on their performance and
stunts so we'll, and all with a warm
feeling in their hearts for Car~on
and its citizens and when they get
back home they will not fail to tell
their people of it.
Mr.. Lay, on behalf of the organiza-
tion, asked the Appeal to thank the
people of Carson for their kind and
generous treatment and hoped again
at some time to make a return trip.
Mr. Lay has been with the club for
over eighteen years.

A Valuable Tooth.

There is an amusing story Of the
economy necessary in the early days
Of the Norwegian theater at Bergen.
1t was in 1S49. when Ibsen and Bjorn
son were creating the national drama.
A lady had been engaged for the part
Of "second old woman when it was
discovered that her elocutionary pow
ers were impaired by the fact that she
had lost one of her front teeth. I'M
poverishcd as she was, the manage
ment came to the rescue and bore the
expense of the necessary dentistry.
When she retired. however. after two
seasons. she had to leave the tooth be-
hind her. the example Of the dentists
art being the property of the theater.
The management was too poor to part
with It.
