Shotguns and rifles hang all around the walls, kniyes in :heaths and knives without sheaths are scatiered here and there and on a peg is bung a belt filled with shotgun cartridges, w a small casein a drawer is filled with caliber cartridges for use in a target ri In one corner isa bibycle and in another arow of clubs with huge knobs on the ends. In one of these clubs the boy had drilled holes and run the excrescen of iead to give it greiter weight. A small revolver with the cylinder missing lies on the table. Though the boy seems to be filled with 80 many peculiar notions he is a sensible little feliow and bas never given the neighbors more troubls than most boys hisage. Heis rather large for his age and has a shock of tow.colored hair on his head that would delight a Circass beauty. His father is a metal-worker at 109-111 Mission street in this City.

The cost, it seems to me, would not be very great, and if neces- sary, bonds might be issued for the pur- pose. A small tax on wheels could levied to pay interest and help toward the payment of the debt. and thus taxpayers who do not use wheels would ave no ounds for objecting to the means pro- ted for the pieasure of others.” Professor Putzker thinks this newly sug- gested plan is an excellent one and would make Berkeley a paradise for wheelmen.
