At least, when Hi" tub Is.full of water and tho soap is nfloat, she squeezes five or six lemons Into the water. If the lemons are large ihe Squeezes five; if they are siikill she squeezes six. Slid h:us been known, when the lemons are very small, of tile bargain <luy variety, to MjUeem seven. Thua It Is said the queen preserves her beauty. Squeez ing lemons Is fine exorcise for the beauty. It Is a hard life, these comet days, for young couples who would elope In the small hours of the morning. Mar-| garet Wlnterburn and B. P, Johnson of Charleston, I'm., are glad to stand 1 up and raise their right hand and testify to this. They had it all framed up one morning to get up while every body else was sleeping and run off and have themselves married. John son drove up to the Wlnternurn man sion with his elopement outfit, consist ing of a speedy horse and a well oiled buckboard, and he yelled lustily into the night air jfcjr someone, preferably Mlns Winterburn, to hurry out and elope with him into the darky night. Having yelled, he put one foot on the dashboard' and sllded over in his seat to make room for the intended com panion of his Intended travels. Pres ently or, In fact, rather sooner than presently, a figure tripped down from the front porch ann down me Troin walk The flfure was In a nightie and barefooted. Johnson was ready to ask MiM Winterburn why .she had adopted such a loose stylo of eloping gown, when a. stein voice, coming somewhere from near the top of the nightie, :''.l'.hnson did not linger to drink In the utterances of the stern voice Miss Wlnterburn'i voice, he knew, had noth ing or Fterness, and he was certain that it was MIM Winterburn that lie sought with his eloping outfit. Papa Winterburn (for It was no other than he. as has no doubt been already suspected by the shrewd reader), who with his stern voice put to hasty flight the gallant lover as he I father! trod dowri the front path In his nightie, we* back into the house and found his daughter with a ■Uit oase ready to take part In the getaway. Father Winterburn confessed, amid hls> daughter's tears, that he had been out conducting a personal inspection of the comet. Just what Mrs. Lewis Classman of New York admires in a wax figure is not known, but it is certain that a wax figure has some attraction for her, for she lias married a man whose pro fession is that of a wax figure. When Mr. Olassman was working as a lay figure In the show window of a Louis ville department store, his wife, who WOULD STOP JEFF JOHNSON BATTLE W. C. T. U. Passes Resolutions to Prevent Fight and Kill All Ring Contests TTm twenty-seventh annual convention of the Southern California Women's Christian Temperance Union was open ed yesterday in the First Methodist church with a large attendance. The sessions of the first day were devoted largely to routine business, but a rous ing resolution condemning prize light ing was unanimously indorsed at the afternoon session, and In the evening the time was devoted to addresses of welcome, in which Mayor Alexander struck a note of popular accord when he said that one of his greatest troubles since assuming the mayoralty had been the saloons. Mayor Alexander was present at the evening session and extended a wel come In behalf of the city. He said that he wns glad to be able to wel come the W. C. T. U. to the city, and paid a high tribute to the work being done by the union. "I thought a year ago when I took up the office of mayor that I knew what to expect from the liquor element, but it is only since I have been mayor that I have come to realize fully its de moralizing forces. It is the hardest thing that we have to handle. "When I look back over the last fifty years and see the advance that has been made it seems wonderful, and When I look forward to the coming fifty years it has a bright side, although I do not expect to be here then." Prof. M. C. Bettinger spoke In behalf of the public schools and said that the motto of the nineteenth century schools was "administration." while the motto of the present school system Is "co-operation," and paid a high tribute to the W. C. T. U. and Mothers con gress. At the close of the address by Prof. LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 13, 1010. was at tho time not his wife, Haw him and fell In love with him.

It whs probably Specified by Mrs. Gliis*niun in the marriage contract that her husband in never to transform himself without the word from her. Terrible, raving Eva Tanguay placed a Joke on a moving picture audience in New York recently. A bunch of ama teura were booked for the evening's entertainment. Eva slipped in among the amateurs. The crowd thought ihe was fierce until some reckless spfti#, who had been at a theater at which Eva had fidgeted, denounced her as the original Eve. Then the crowd knew generally that it was the orig inal Eve and they pronounced her act the best of on the amateur program. Miss Tnnguay was constrained to con fess. She apologized for her voice, saying: "I am a trifle hoarse. I slept in a stable last night." Unrefined young lady! She enjoyed the Joke even though It had failed. However, it is to be hoped—for the sake of the cul ture of the slum dwellers—that she will not go slumming again. Miss Blanche Scott of Rochester, N. V., is on her way across tjie continent In an automobile. She Is going to make the trip entirely without any male assistance, even to revamping the carbureter or patching the crank shaft If that heroines necessary. She started from Rochester Monday morning and by taking her time and seeing the sights on the wty out expects to ar rive in San Francisco in August. From town t6 town the may take a woman along just for company, but she Is de termined to do It all herself. The public might make this reply: "We do not go to your comedies to hear the comedies, George B. We go to your comedies to laugh. If our laughter spoils your comedies, put us out, for wo are determined to laugh. Mrs. Sarah I>. Clarke, a retiring lit tle Chicago woman, broke a record of sixteen years when she fractured nor ankle last week and had to stay away from the Pacific Garden mission. For 6000 successive nights she has attended the mission, devoting her time to re claiming boys and young men. He sldes, she has established a home for homeless girls. "The physical pain I endure, paid Mrs. Clarke, "la not as great as the worry of my absence from the mls- Blon and the girls 1 home. I have never left Chicago for one night during six teen years and four months. Kvery night" during that period I have passed at the mission. Bettlnger Mrs. Hester T. Griffith, the state president and presiding officer, asked all delegates who had served as public scTiool teachers to stand, and a large portion of the delegates rose, showing the cloae relation of the teacn ing forces of those of the unions. Mrs. William Bauerhyte, president of the Los Angeles district Federation of Women's clubs, spoke in behalf of that organization. Honorary state presidents gave three minute addresses, Including Mrs. Mary C'.arbutt, Mrs. Emma Cash Clapp, Miss Gabrielle T. Stickney and Mrs. Lucy S. Blanchard for Mrs. W. D. Gould, who was unable to be present. Mrs. Hester T. Griffith, state presi dent, presided at the sessions yester- day. The union adopted the following reso lution regarding prizefighting at the afternoon session: "Whereas, we, the executive board of Orange county W. C. T. U., and repre senting all of the societies of the coun ty, hereby affirm that we stand for 'a single standard of morals for men and women,' and we appeal to the W. C. T. U. in state convention assembled, to unite with the church federation of San Francisco, the pastors' union of Ban Jose and other ministerial bodies to not only strive to prevent the Jef- fries-Johnson fight, but to bring some pressure to bear on our legislature to drive the prizefight from our fair state. "That we appeal to the governor and state's attorney to prevent this im moral, degrading and disgraceful sport to be practiced within the borders of the state of California." The convention officers announced were as follows: Mrs. Martha Dods worth, sergeant-at-arms; Mrs. M. J. Townsend, timekeeper; Mrs. Mary Garbutt, Miss Jennlo Staples and Mrs. Rose Wheeler, credentials; Mrs. Ada R. Hand, Mrs. Julia D. Phelps and Mrs. Martha Drawbaugh, courtesy; Mrs. Laura T.

Despondent over a love affair, Cook Hawkins crawled tinder his sweetheart 1! porch, and, grasping a portrait of the unfaithful one In his left fist, deftly killed himself with bis right. Not to make Jest of the solemn occurrernce. the thought is not to be resisted that the incident would make a charming central Bcene for a pretty little vaudeville Hketch. Vine-covered portico, purple light properly mixed and scatttered about the starve with on particularly strong ray thrown on the porch; sweetheart sitting in a hammock on the same porch singing love songs to the photo of another, and despondent one breathing his last under her feet unknown to hpr until his last words are wafted up by the evening breeze, "l love you and I die for you." Realizing that she has lost a true friend and regretting her lack of ap preelatlion, .she Inserts her head be tween two of the porch rails and twists and twists until the curtain is all the way down. Note.—The property man can supply the evening breeze with an ordinary electric fan. Jean Hartzell, a young man of Chi cago, Is a wise young man of Chicago. He was engaged to marry a young woman of Chicago. No distinguishing sign of wisdom there, It is exclaimed. The joke ir. this: Immediately aftei his marriage Jean Hartzell went to serve a term In prison. He was mar ried on the way to prison. It is not the contention that all married men should obtain a sentence —many are successful matrimonially without it— but no young man can be said to be making a. very great mistake when he takes such a precaution. Mr. Hartzell mar now enjoy all the pleasures of married life, such as receiving sweet letters and footing- bills, while at tho samn time he Is not denying himself the glorious freedom of bachelorhood. When Mr. Hartzell cornea in now, after being out with the boys, there will be no one to say him that' he should have been in earlier. Mrs. Hartzell will de vote her married life to an effort to obtain her husband's pardon, which Is also satisfying. Her time will not rest heavily on her hands, she -will have the snug feeling that she is devoting her life to a noble end, and all the time there will be no husband to bother and insist that she should give all of her moments to him and the home life. Happy couple! When Thomas Quigley, counterfeiter, makes'any more $1000 bills it is prob able that he will ose some digestible substance In the construction. Quigley was fn -ed to eat one of his $1000 slips the other day as a last resort when he WBl caught in a swindling scheme and cornered by cops. His adventure opens the question of what would be a good substance of which to make counterfeit c.-ike. Breakfast flakes have been sug gested, but It has been maintained also that there la a question hero about digestibility. If Inventor Quiglev suc ceeds in concocting digestible bills, he might offer them as unique desert for vegetarian dinners. Prom beans to billions. Frank Rooney. a hash hurler of Hartford, Conn., had such a career, figuratively speaking. Tears ago Rooney was one of the tough youngsters of Hartford's east side. I>ater he became one of the figures in an unpretentious lunch room of the open-all-night, stool variety. Since then he has had his share of worldly ex. Now ho has taken his place among- the Idle rich. He wears glasses when he wants to read. He owns three houses that net him a com fortable income. To add to the enjoy ment of life, they say he has cornered the market on buttermilk and sunshine. Arthur Brown, Yonkers. N. V., was robbPd by the meanest burglar in the annals of crime, awkwardly classifying the burglar, not long ago. He was de prived of every thread in his boudoir, including all his week day clothes and all his Sunday clothes. If he had not been asleep in bed he probably would have been robbed of his pajamas. When he got up to chase the thief he could find absolutely nothing in the house to wear on the chase. All was gone. A gold watch and $49 were also gone. Bring a resourceful man Mr. Brown telephoned the Yonkers police. M. Gregory Wilenkin, recently ap pointed as financial agent of Russia to the United States, has arrived In New York with his wife. "I am delighted to return to this country." he declared. "I have many friends In the United States. In fact, I like youf country go well that when I was sent to Japan, Instead of going by the Transsiberlan railway, I went through the United States. "Russia* Interests are growing. Her commercial affairs are expanding. American financial people are coming to Russia. The government wants to get Into closer touch with affairs here, Russia was always rich, but only re eentiv other countries began to know It. There are many matters here for attention." ARMY ROMANCE ENDS IN BRILLIANT WEDDING NEW YORK, May 12.— Romantic courtship, begun at a lonely military post In Arizona, following the publication of tho young wom an's photograph In a New York newspaper, extending over a period of three years, had remitted In the marriage of First lieutenant Collln 11. Rail, IT. 8. A., company K. Fifth United States infantry, and Miss Maude Lor raine Eno, residing with her widowed mother, Mrs. Walter Kirn, at 651 West One Hundred and Seventy-second street. Lieutenant Ball, serving with his regiment at the Arizona post, glancing through a. news paper, wag attracted by the photographs of four girls attending the Wadlelgh high schol. One Hundred and Seventeenth street and Sev enth avenue, among which was a portrait of Miss Kno. Cutting Miss Eno's portrait out of the paper and writing,* message In French on the reverie stile, Lieutenant Rail mailed it back to the young woman. Miss Kno promptly acknowledged its receipt. Letters began to pans. Although the writers had not seen each other, the correspondence soon became fervent. Lieutenant Ball's regi ment was transferred to the Philippines. He took part In several engagements against the warring bands, and at one time, it Is said, performed a secret mission for tho Chinese government. Recently his regiment wan or dered to th» military barracks at Plattsburg, N. V., and a few days ago Lieutenant Hall came to New York to claim Miss Kno as his bride.

He is the night clerk. The guy Who stay* until all hours of the morning to put belated wayfarers to bed and finish up any little jobs the boys on the day watch are unablo to attend to. The fellow who has to keep busy when there is absolutely nothing to do, no one to talk to—who has to go to bed When all the rest of the world Is Just starting on another Jolly old d that's the night clerk, and some long suffering bard, who la all out of sub jects should just hand out a few verses eulogizing him. He really is to be pitied. He can never have a girl, for what foung wo man would favor a fellow who can't come to sec her even once a week, let alone half a dozen times? Even the daily trend of his married life is badly disturbed by tho late, unholy Watche which he keeps. At the same time there ara few divorces among the hotel night clerks—possibly because they al ways have good excuses for staying out late. And still, thorn are some advantages about being- night clerk. Scientists claim there la no difference between a night and a day clerk. These Individ ual! themselves differ with their more learned brothers. The clerks know there is a difference—in salary. They tell a story about a young- hotel proprietor who was about to discharge one of hIK room clerks for some rea son. Just before the manager tied the can he happened to consult an old hotelkeeper. "I'm going: to flre So-and-So," said the young manager. "Why?" asked the old manager. The young man explained, stating several grievous offenses which the clerk had committed. The old man listened patiently. "You don't want to fire him," he told his young friend. "You want to make him night clerk. That's worse." HURRAH FOR DANIEL CUPID, 78QUIRE! The little blind, or alleged blind, boy is at work, and as usual is busiest at his old stamping ground—the Hollen beck hotel. Result—two marriages at the Hollenbeck yesterday. There certainly must be something In the atmosphere at the Hollenbeck. Nearly everybody who stays around there long enough gets It. Some of them get over it, of course, but in nearly every case it's fatal. In yesterday's first match figured L. C. Bowles of New York city and Miss Jessie L. Simmons of Clyde, Ohio, both of whom are guests at the Hollen beck. They were married at noon and will spend their honeymoon here. No. 2 wedding took place last night. The principals wore B. Z. Haggerty and Miss Alice E. Rushton of Kansas. They will make their home in Los Angeles. A couple of drummers were talking in the lobby of the Alexandria last even ing-, and their topic of conversation was, to say the least, a surprising- one. for drummers. They must have both been married and homesick, for they were talking music. Did you ever hear a drummer talk music? No? Listen—this is what they had to say last night: "There's something awful brewing In the popular music line," said the iconoclastic salesman. "Ha'-e you got hep to it? It's a touch of the sri-nt masters, the big boys in the realm .it' tones. Don't know just how it started, but I g-uess it was that thing on the Orpheum circuit, ringing in Mendels sohn's Spring Song. That wasn't so bad, If the thing could only rest with that. But now I see there is another one—about that lovely melody Ruben stein wrote. When I saw that I said to myself, the thing's off; before the end of th« year every last one of the great masters will have turned over In his grave several times and groaned. If there is anybody that lacks real originality it Is the so-called popular song writer. One In several hundred strikes something new, and then all the others dig- In after. You remember 'After the Ball,' that started all the rest of 'em on some sad dance affair. "Where the Silvery Colorado Wends Its Way' sent them all up and down the streams of the country. Remember •Waltz Me Around, Willie? 1 Then the others got to two-stepping and polka- Ing. So it has been going: in the pop ular song line, until finally one of them discovered Mendelssohn. I'll bet that at the present time several hundred of these song writers are poring over the masters, trying to figure out some tuno that can be Introduced by 'them's the melody he wrote.' Now, don't for a minute think I am knocking the -big boys.' They were the real thing, and all others are Imitations. But thin is what's coming. We are going to h*VB fair maidens throwing themselves off cliffs with slush words set to Verdi's 'Miserere;' the brave young soldier, cutting through the enemy, waving the stars and stripes, to the March from 'JPaUit;' while the butcher boy who is in love with Annabelle will pour forth his yearnings to the strains of Bellini's 'Hear Me, Norma. 1 "Wagner's 'Bvening Star' will surely bo frazzled. Talking about evening stars reminds mo of Halley's comet. I hope it will hurry along. If it hits anything I hope it will collide with this new song notion." Just to illustrate how a hotel clerk must be continually on the lookout for crooks and dead beats anil their like, Fred Wood of the Haywurd staff told this little story last evening: "It was while I was in one of the houses In Salt Lake city," he began, "and was very well acquainted with all the hangers on around the hotels. "At thiH house the cafe was In the basement, and I always tried to ar range my luncheon hour so as to ho in the dining room when It was not crowded. This afternoon about 1:30 o'clock I .was down getting a little bite to eat, and there was not another per fton in the room, with the exception of the cashier, a pretty little girl who ■was altogether too innocent to handle the money she did. During the meal I glanced up occasionally, hoping that some one would blow in and eat with me. Someone finally did blow in, but not to eat. He stepped up to the cash ier and bought a cigM" from her.

He pretended to feel in his ]■• ckets a. little—stalling, .seemingly — and it Just dashed into my mind that hi' was trying to beat that little girl out ft some money, i hiked for her desk aa soon as i could ami asked her what that fellow had wanted. "Hi bought two cigars, 1 she an swered me In rather a haughty tone, disliking to have me butt In the Way I did. " 'Did he pay fur them?' I asked. " 'Yes, he did. and with a ten-dollar hill. 1 " 'IJlil you .omit the change out for him." l asked next. 1 'Yes,' she replied. " 'Well, you count your cash,' I told her. 'You'll tind >ou arc just ten dollars short ' "And, sure enough, she was. Sly counted it over again, and waa still short. Then she began in gel excited about it and burst into crying. 1 told her not to worry, that I would K>'t that guy, and then explained how it was done. "The man pays for the cigars with a ten-dollar note and gets his change. You Bee, he still holds the note In his hands, and as soon as the change la laid down he reaches in his pocket and draws out a quarter, Baying: " 'Why, there i.-- a quarter I did not know I had. I'll Just pay for my cigars with that.' "He thru tucks the ten Into his pocket again, and still having the change, walks off. Now that trick sounds simple when it is written out, but there is many a barkeeper and cashier around hotels right here who have had It worked on them, and the worker get away with it. When clev erly done it is almost sure to work. "This guy, however, I caught later and made him walk down into the cafe and hand over that ten to the little girl. He didn't try it again around there." Someone tried to start something around the hotels last evening, and they came near getting it started. A Western Union messenger boy was making the rounds asking if Carrie Na tion was stopping at each particular house. He really had a message for her, with instructions to find her. Gee, the way some of the clerks and managers did double up when the boy would ask for that woman. Washing ton, at the Lankershim, yelled "Lock the bar!" Harry Fryman reached for a chair and prepared to contest every step of the way into his wet goods em porium, while at the various other houses detectives and special officers were called out to head the illustrious Carrie off. She didn't show up, how ever, and the messenger is still hunting. Miss Maud Allan, the dancer, re turned last evening from a short visit to San Diego and Is once more at the Alexandria.
