of 'nad canines on the rampage at
their civil service examination in the
Grand avenue school yard Saturday
afternoon.
Possibly what amused tho youngsters
most and confused tho policemen was
;i demonstration of their ability at
handling "mad" doga Two obliging
caninea of medium size were led Into
tlir open and turned loose. A f"t l"> •
Itceman armed with alaaao approached
cautiously. A sergeant from a dls
tnnco endeavored to make the dog run,
but he stood still. Just as the patrol
man hail raised his a.nn to pend tlie

a mar of laughter eauaed 'hi' dog

utter considerable time had been

acted even worse than Fido. He re

The examination then adjourned to

crammed themselves Into scats that
were not built for two, and went to

Some Prominent Men
SOMBBODT will pleaea got out
their comic opera fountain pen
nnil their QOtnlc opora pad and
write two or three arts about this. The
H.\. Charles A. Merrill has been
i baperonlng a party <>f thirty Wellea
ley college girls on a slumming
expedition in the oust. They huvo
visited tho Immigrant stations, the
general court and the Charles itreet
jail In WellPßley, all of which would
make great scenes for a musical melee.
At one of tho Immigrant stations an
Incoming steamer oould i>n shown.
Passengers in green tights could alight
mill make love to the thirty Oollega
nirls. They might be Italian Street
par track artists and Hungarian tunnel
diggers. A bunch of wild animals for
smile American 100 could be Introduced
to lend Ufa to tho picture.
In the Jail scene the convicts, in
Stripes, oould sing a rock pllo chorus.
The warden might be a OoMgnan come
dian, and one of tho inmates might
recite "Roger and I," to lend a touch
of sentiment. As a climax to the Jail
act fifteen of the trusties could elope
With llftoisn of tho girls, the remain-
Ing fifteen girls offering to remain in
the place of tho departed prisoners
for the .sake of their alma mater.
In the general court Bceno. which
should ba tho last in the play, every
thing could be Btraightenod out. The,
judge, of course, would bo the Jail
warden promoted. The fifteen eloped
couples should be married as the grand
finale, and it subtly auggeated that
the fifteen remaining couplea be mar
ried immediately auor the tail of the
curtain. It would be highly inartistic
t.i have all thirty couples married in
the show proper, henco the delay for
the fifteen.
Orland Chester Thompson of Greene
county, Indiana, Is perhaps the moat
remarkable lawyer In the United
State*. First.he Is a bby, a "mere
child," as the" reporters say. Second,
lit- has never lost a case. Third, he
advances Ideas that many of the gray
heads In the profession might look
over with grave consideration. This Is
a sample Interview with the ambitious
child, it being noted that It Is all one
sided—Orland never gives his Inter
viewers a chance:
"I am proud of my record. I have
never lost a case. But I am prouder
of the things that I am going to do,
rather of the things that 1 am not go-
Ing to do. I am never going Into poll
tic*. Politics Is the dirtiest game that
a man can fight. Pardon my use of
the word 'man.' I am young, but I
think I'll grow up. I like to fight,
but I want to flght clean. You cannot
do that in politics. Sometimes I think
I'd llko to run for mayor of Switz City,
but I do not want the politics. I am
sure that any boy can do what I have
done, If he works. I have studied law
at night after working hard in the
postofflce all day, and then I did dou
ble work In law school. You'll excuse
me. I am to give a lady in the next
room some advice in a divorce case.
I do not want to seem egotistic, but I
believe you might do well to keep an
eye on me. I 1 am going out for ele
phants."
Secretary Wilson to bat. Secretary
James Wilson of the department of
agriculture with an explanation of the
high cost of existence. Lack of soil
education, says the secretary, Is the
goat. When our university class rooms
become the scenes of gatherings of
long whiskers and blue bloomers of
the sort that they wear in tlfe rural
precincts, eggs will be within reaoh of
men of moderate fortunes and hay may
be bought for horses In families with
as little as a few millions. Practical
education, urges the secretary. To

The call of the wild Is chirping
mightily for Senator^ryc of Maine.
This 13 tho time of yoar when tho sen
ator hears the chirp. He looks bored
at tho way tho senate persists In
pottering around with legislation. Ho
would like to get away to his native
state, seize a fish polo passionately
and hustle away to tho beckoning
brook. He Is ono of the most en
thusiastic fishermen in the senate, de
spite his years.
That former Governor Folk of Mis
souri takes himsolf seriously as a
candidate for tho Democratic) nomina
tion for president Is handed around In
a conversational way at Washington.
Some letters have been received there
asking support in tho 1912 campaign.
Mr. Folk Boema especially anxious to
have Tennossoe lend props. He has
brothers there who aro prominent in
Democratic politics, and their inlluoneo
may help somo in dragging tho dele
gation correctly. At any rate, he has
an eye on Tennessee and apparently is*
starting into the fracas long In advance
of the campaign.
In many cities of this great country
women are allowed to voto for school
officials. Not so In Philadelphia, how
ever. That's why Dr. Robert Kills
Thompson, president of the Central
high school, as they call him, dared
to say what he did say a few days
ago. Dr. Thompson is no believer in
woman suffrage, and he didn't mince
matters in his speech. When that
speech was printed in the newspapers
the women called on him for a retrac
tion, but they didn't get It. Dr. Thomp
son declined to re-anythlng except to
reiterate what he had already said.
That was:
"I do not believe in woman suffrage,
because women are not qualified for
the duty of the ballot. They are Just
as capable and Intelligent as men, but
they are more impatient of delay and
restraints. They want to accomplish
a thing Immediately and out of hand,
Irrespective of me,ans and results.
"It i.s this Impatience that has given
rise to the lynch law of the south and
every time It is brought to bear upon
a case it proves that the southerners
are tinged with this woman's impa
tience and are acting like women.
"Women's interest In public affairs
should be a personal, not a practical,
one. They are capable of bringing
about great reforms by their concert
ed movements for good, but with the
ballot In their hands their powers for
good would be nullified. Now .they act
as a whole. With the franchise they
would be split into political factions
and lose sight of their aim to better
humanity."
With marriage and divorce growing
every day into greater problems, some
are prone to think that they may be
taken up soon In a scientific manner,
and perhaps added to the curriculum
of the big universities. If this should
come to pass in the march of events,
friends of Professor Brander Matthews
of Columbia university stand ready to
nominate him for a chair. He has
Often been quizzed by lovelorn 'mem
bers of classes under his instruction,
and Invariably, they declare, they have
found him ready not only to discuss
the subject at length, but Indirectly
he has invited queries on these after
runners of love. One day a student
asked him just exactly what language
should be used and what was the
proper mannor of proposing to the girl
of your heart. Without hesitation Pro
fessor Matthews replied:
"There is absolutely no way. Pro
posals are not made In mere speech;
words are futile."
"But," Interrogated a bespectacled
youth, "ho.v, then, are they made?"
"Why—cr —they just happen, that's
all," returned the professor, gravely.

Women and What
They Are Doing
MRS. CARRIE CALVERT of Brook
lyn Is probably the holder of the
world's record as the meanest
living married woman. One day last
week she met her husband at tho train
and when he alighted from the car
steps she threw her arms around him—
and then a whole squad of policemen
ruehed up and pinched tho poor fellow
for desortion. Think of It! If her hus
band had deserved anything like that
she might have been excused, hut tho
only thing ho had done was to run off
and leave her after they were married
a few days. Ho had been gone about a
year, It is true, and being careless,.like
all husbands, had forgotten to write
homo and tell his wife where he was,
but to bo hugged and pinched is cer
tainly too much punishment for such a
small crimo as that. Mrs. Calvert
learned where he was by some means,
just as if she had a right to know, and
wrote him loving letters to lure him
back home. Faithful and trusting hus
band that he was, he complied with
her wishes and returned. Then Mrs.
Calvert hugged him as the high sign
for the cops. It is to be rejoiced thai
sucH treacherous women exist only in
the far east.
Princess Juliana Louise Emma Marie
Wllhelmina of Holland is 1 year old.
However, sho deserves a position In the
parade of notables, by virtue of the
length or her name it lor no other rea
son. Tho celebration of the birthday
of the little princess was one of the
features of the entertainment of Col.
Roosevelt during his recent visit in
Holland. Every man, woman and child
In Holland wore a daisy, the name
flower of Juliana plus, on tho baby's
birthday, and Col. Roosevelt recognized
the event in the same manner. The
birthday was among the first that
Juliana plus had experienced, and It
is given out that she was much de
lighted with tho feeling.
Chorua girls of 45 (age) are to be
seen in every front row. It 1b impos
sible to get them all In the back row,
so some of them are necessarily
crowded out into plain view. An
actress, yet alive and frisky at 75, how
ever, is a rarity, it must bo admitted.
Berlin boasts of a stage favorite 75
years old who delights her audiences
nightly by her Irresistibly funny act
ing. She Is Frau Schramm. On occa
sion the news comes, she hops and
dances .with grace and verve. On the
stage, when made up, she could pass
for 30 or less. This Is another remark
able thing. What back row American
chorus girl can pass for 30?
Frau Schramm celebrated her
seventy-fifth birthday recently. The
kaiser wired saying that he V em? m"
bered with gratitude many delightful
hours watching her play. The empress
also. All the kaiser's sons sent her en
thusiastic telegrams. It was all right
for the father, why not for the sons?
From the length and breadth of Ger
many came congratulations In heaps.
One would have to look several days
In this country to find a great number
of chorus girls "over 60.
Let joy be unjailed and rejoicing un
chained. Let them tear up and down

been admitted. It can not be tiue,
surely; certainly. She has been ad

organizations of the metropolis of New

The daughter of Plermont Morgan,
Anne Morgan, was to speak at a mass
meeting of the Woman's Public Service
league in Denver not many evenings
aeo When she got there, as the epic
gfes, the room was anything but bare;
m fact it was so full of citizens, the
majority of whom maliciusly repre
sented the municipal ownership faction,
that Miss Morgan pouted ami hurried
into a box, where she sat all the time
that she was supposed to be throwing
oratorical hooks into the assemblage.
The Princess del Drago, 807 Fifth ave
nue New York, owns a brewery. Upon
her return to the United States last
week she was met at the pier by a
squadron of brewery wagons. Some of
them carried her baggage to her home,
some carried some more of her baggage
to the Waldorf-Astoria and others per
haps transported the princess herself
to the place to which she wanted to go.
Passengers on the ship were puzzled at
the sight, and guests at the Waldorf
were likewise bewildered. The former
husband of the princess was August
Schmid, who left her the brewery, the
Lion. The name of the former husband
makes the story seem possible.
Prince Giovanni del Drago is the
fourth son of Prince Philip, head of the
Roman house of Del Drago. His father
married? Maria, a daughter of the queen
of Spain. The prince is about 50 years
old He was married to Mrs. Josephine
Schmid about a year ago. She was
then estimated to be worth $20,000,000.

Around Hotel Corridors
THRKB ohMl* for Carleton Gilbert
and the Virginia. The unanimous
verdict reached about one minute
after the hotel clerks of Los Angeles
and Southern California arrived at
Long Beach Saturday, where over one
hundred of them spent the afternoon,
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Carleton Gil
bert at the Virgtna hotel, was that
as a host and hostess the clever man
ager and his wife are about the best
ever.
And say, they certainly enjoyed
themselves for a few hours. The dally
life of the average slave who attends
the wants of the traveling public con
tains time for few such larks as Sat
urday's affair. However, when the op
portunity does offer Itself, the way
they take hold of It makes up for the
rarity of such occasions.
From the minute the visitors stop
ped off their special car in front of
the big Long Beach hotel Saturday
they were made to feel that the place
was unconditionally theirs, at least for
a few hours. Mr. Gilbert took the men
In charge and escorted them about the
hostelry, while the women of the party
became the special charges of the man
ager's pretty wife, who won everyone's
regard by the cordiality* of her wel
come. •'<■-.
On arrival the guests were led into
the great dining room, where lunch
eon was served. The visiting guests,
representatives of the Long Beach
chamber of commerce and of the Long
Eeach Bath Houob company, sat down
around the big banquet table and, with
formality thrown to the four winds, en
joyed themselves. Toasts were pro
posed and drank to the hotel, to Mr.
Gilbert and to the secret of his suc
cess—Mrs. Gilbert—to which both the
honored ones responded.
Following luncheon,"" through the
courtesy of the Long Beach chamber
of commerce, the visitors boarded one
of the small launches stationed -at
" Long Beach and went for a sea ride
to the Los Angeles harbor and Portu
guese bend. On the launch the party
sang songs, told jokes and watched
Frank Cummins, representative of the
St. Francis hotel, do his cute little
cork tricks. Returning to the main
land the visitors were invited by the
Long Beach Bath House company to
enjoy the privileges of the bath house
and plunge, and many took advantage
of this kindness, enjoying a dip in the
salt water.
The clerks returned home In time to
go "on watch" In the evening, and
around hotel corridors the trip to Long
Beach was the chief topic of conver
sation yesterday.
R. J. Prince, a traveling man of
Boston, will entertain every traveling
man he knows tomorrow eveningl at
the Angelus with a banquet. Every
body who has ever joshed him is in
vited—at least that's what some of his
closest friends say.
You see, Prince has to square him
self some way or be joshed to death,
and giving this little spread is the
way he proposes to do it.
Prince a few weeks ago had an
invitation to a banquet to be given in
a large hotel In San Francisco. It was
to be one classy affair, and Prince
was very proud of the fact that he
was to be among those present. He
took no pains to keep the fact to him
self, either, and let everybody with
whom he came in contact know that
he was going.
The night of the banquet arrived—at
least the night Prince thought it was
to be pulled off—arrived. He bade his
fellow knights of the grip good-by and,
rigged out in his gladdest rags, de
parted for the big feed. Maybe the
boys who were not going envied him
just a little, but they said nothing.
Prince arrived at the hotel, and
strolling up to the desk asked in a
rather loud voice:
"Where Is the banquet to be this
evening?"
"What banquet?" politely asked the
clerk.
"Why the traveling men's banquet!
replied Prince loftily. "What other
banquet do you suppose?"
"The traveling men's banquet?
Why why, my dear sir, that was held
last evening."
"What!" screamed Prince. "Last
night? Impossible. I'm sure it was to
bo hold tonight."
"Oh, no; it was held last night. Big
bunch of traveling men here, and
they certainly had a bully time," an
swered the clerk, unconsciously heap
ing coals of tire on poor Prince's head.
Prince turned from the lesk in
despair. He didn't dare return to the
hotel and face the bunch there. He
realized what would be coming to him
If he did.
Instead, he wandered around town
for about four hours, until he thought
all self-respecting drummers should be
in bed. Then he returned to his hotel.
The bunch was waiting for him, how
ever. Some other drummer who had
attended the banquet the night before
had blown in and had let out the fact
that the banquet was a thing of the
past.
When Prince arrived at the hotel
the reception he received was one he
will long remember. They laughed,
yelled, joshed, joked, poked fun at him
and made him buy until he was weary
both In soul and pocketbook.
Since then the fun has never ceased.
No one who is oij ever sees him with
out referring in some manner to ban
quets. And so Prince will entertain
the bunch at th£, Angelus tomorrow.
The only thing he will dentend of his
guests, in return for the feed, is that
they individually and collectively
swear that they will never mention
banquets again in his presence. A
large attendance is expected.
"George Young and wife"—A gentle
man stepped up to the Angelus desk
the other day and wrote that on the
register.
"Do you care to go up now, Mr.
Young," asked Room Clerk Mullen as
he Jotted down a room number after
the name.
"Yes, right away," replied the gen
tleman, grabbing up a small hand bag
and handing It to the attentive bell
"Wonder where his wife is?" a^ked
Mr. Mullen. "He seems to have for
gotten all about her."
Just then another drummer, for Mr.
Young is a drummer and travels for a
house in Portland, stepped forward

and asked who it was Just ramn in.
"oh. yes—Young of Portland. Gee,

with him. He always travels with his
wife, she hlkea all over the country
with him. Quest I'll <lnip up and «cc

ber?"
"Three hundred ami five," replied the
clerk.
Very soon Mr. Young came down
stairs again and started out.
"Would you like to leave any word
for your wife?" asked Mullen as the
man passed the desk.
"My wife?" questioned Young.
"Tea, I thought possibly your wife
might rnme in while you are gone and
ask for you," replied Mullen.
"Say, I give up—what's the gag—l'm
easy, spring it."
"Why, your wife, sir. Where is your
wife?"
"Say, what husinrss is that, of yours;
my wife Is In Portland."
Tn despt Ir the clerk whirled the
register around and showed the man
his name.
"Holy Qee," yelled Young. "I've
traveled with her for so long thai I
write 'and wife 1 from force of habit.
For the love Of Mike don't let any Of
the bunch Ret hold of thin. Scratch it
out, quick."
But he was too late In discovering
his mistake. The other drummer, who
happens not to be named Brown,
dropped In on him suddenly a little
later and the first thine he asked was,
"Where is Mrs. Young." (< %
Young had to explain and then '>'"■■
trouble—or his troubles—began. Brown
telegraphed to Mrs. Youni; in Portland
that- her husband was registered at the
Angelus with his "wife." Not only
that, but each mail brought stacks of
personal letters from widows desirous
of becoming wives, affinities, marriage
bureaus and chorus girls, all desiring
to marry Younff. And then there were
letters from every drummer In the
house offering to be best man at the
next ceremony, inquiring when he was
going to T'tah. how soon he expected
to get caught and warning him of the
awful penalty inflicted upon bitramists.
And it was not long before the un
fortunate man began to receive some
rather warm telegram? from Portland.
Mrs Young was becoming interested
very deeply interested. Young couldn't
wait untjl night and send a night let
tergram. He had to telegraph the
whole story home at once in order to
keep from having- his wife start south
at once. Three and four page tele
grams cost something, too.
The traveling men at the hotel, and
even those at other houses, are having
the time of their lives with Young. If
they don't cut it out soon he says he is
going to hike back to Portland and
spend the rest of his days in a home
for absent-minded children. Just what
Mrs. Young is saying about the matter
he is not giving out.

INSANE OVER HALLEY'S COMET
NAILS HAND TO MINE HOIST
Discharged Shecpherder Rescued
by Mining Prospectors
SAN BERNARDINO, May B.—While
insane from brooding over, his belief
lhat Halley's comet would bring an end
to the world, Paul Hammerton, a sheep
herder, nailed his left hand to the hoist
of the Discovery mine, near the Sheep
Hole mountains. He believed that he
could nail both hands to the timbers.
He had his left hand spiked fast when
he discovered he could not also nail
his right hand.
Hammerton had worked for years as
a sheep herder and became a student
of the stars. He saw Halley's comet
when it first became visible on the
desert. As it grew in brilliancy the
fear possessed him that it would strike
the earth. He soon became mentally
unbalanced, and his employer dis
chnrged him.
He then became the watchman at the
Discovery mines, which are idle.
When prospectors found him nailed to
the timber and attempted to release
him Hammerton fought them off. He
was overpowered and the spike re
i moved.
