SeIf-AnOinted Dukes.

Out here we're waiting for that
" Spanish baron and that French
count back in New York to form
the mother branch of their Noble
mems club for the protection of
holders of genuine titles in Amer
lea and, presumably, as a guar
antee to our own homegrown heir
esses that, when they marry for
eign princelings or what not, the
goods will he as described. There's
been lot of title-legging, you
know.
AS soon as the organization gets
started we're going to open the Hol-
lywood division. Since only the au-
thentic nobility may qualify, it's
figured that the active roster will
be confined to very limited group.
The State of the Nation.
EAR be it from me to turn alarm
l. ist right on the heels of the hot
wave, but I feel it my duty to warn
my fellow-Americans that this frag-
lie and crumbling republic is
doomed. That is, it's doomed if
you can believe what comes out of
our sainted political leaders in the
way of predictions.
Hark to the quavering chorus
which already has started up: A
crisis exists. Every professional
crisis-breeder in the land openly
admits it. I can't remember when
a crisis wasn't existing. But they
come larger in campaign years. We
are facing a dread emergency
which has had no parallel since the
last occasion when we faced a
dread emergency. This very hour
the nation totters on the brink of
an abyss.
Miracles and MiSdemeanors.
ONCE upon an early time there
~ was a man so holy that even
the wild creatures would not harm
him. He drew a thorn from the
paw of a tame lion and the CRATE
full beast followed after him. So he
became a SAINT.
Only the other day in a court in
Tanganyka, which is in Africa, a
black mana savage by our def
nitions-was on trial. It seemed
the lions were raiding the stock, so
the native authorities set traps for
them. The accused found lion in
one of these traps and made a lad
der and went down and helped the
great brute to escape.
Being arrested, he explained SIM
ply that the lion was his friend. So
they fined him $3.50. In the olden
times it was miracle. Nowadays
it's a misdemeanor.

MADRID TAKES COVER
IN AIR RAID THREAT
DISTRICT FILES
DEMURRER IN
SALARY SUIT

George Whitlock sued the I'M
perial Irrigation district for ST.
518.75 he alleged was owed him in
back salary for his services as
deputy assessor but when the dis
trict filed its answer and demur-
rer late Friday he was accused of
owing the district SCOTS plus mile
age and automobile and mileage
expenses.
In his suit, Whitlock named l..
w. Allen, r. B. BrisSenden, of the
accounting department, r. H. Mad
dux, business manager; M. j.
Dowd, chief engineer and general
superintendent; and F. H. McIver,
treasurer.
The district admitted Whitlock
had received no salary since Jan.
Is, 1896, and declared Miss Winnie
Barry, assessor collector, fraud
ulently appointed Whitlock a dep
uty collector just to keep him on
the payroll when the board of di-
rectorS did not want him there.
She had appointed him deputy
assessor Mar. l, 1885, according
to the answer, and because he did
not devote his time to district
business, he was cut off the pay
roll by the board.
Whitlock was not legally ap-
pointed to serve as deputy asses
sor, field assessor or field deputy,
did not perform such work but
attended to private and political
business away from the office, the
district alleged.
Members of the board told Miss
Barry they did not approve of
Whitlock's appointment but he was
continued on the payroll, the an
sWer set forth. The board stopped
his salary Jan. Is, 1886.
The district accused Whitlock
of owing the district $1,000 for
illegally drawn salary in 1881;
$1,465.5O in 1892; $1,417.50 in 1888
silimar amounts in 1884 and 1885;
and 5000 in 1886. In addition the
district denied owing the sum
sought in Whitlock's suit.

their entire budget and for some
time have had a balanced budget.
This drew warm applause from
the attending delegates who re-
ported that quite frequently the
local budgets are not balanced.
