In their efforts to raise money to aid the completion of a new $15,000 church at Humboldt a number of the women of the Congregational church pledged themselves to contribute $1 each toward the purchase of carpeting for the new structure and to earn the money by manual labor. Mrs. Will Strong, Mrs. Corry and Mrs. Ferryby, wife of Dr. Ferryby, went out into a cornfield and in bhalf a day husked forty bushels of corn, receiving for their work 3 cents per bushel. Not making the necessary dollar, they went into a neighboring beet patch the fol- lowing day and pulled beets, for which work the farmer paid ther: and then donated the beets.

Although it was known yesterday that Lunstedt was a defaulter the offi- cers of the Grand Parlor of the Native Sons would neither affirm nor deny the accusations that the trusted official had betrayed the trust reposed in him ever sincesthe society had been formed. For twenty-two years Lunstedt seryved as secretary of the Grand Par- lor and not a word had ever been ut- tered against his integrity. The news that he is a defaulter came as a great surprise to the thousands of the mem- bers of the organization. For the last two weeks the officers | of the Grand Parlor of the Native Sons have quietly pursued an investigation of Lunstedt's accounts. Secrecy has been maintained and the officers have been warned not to make public any of their findings, but the startling news leaked out despite the precautions taken. Lunstedt was deposed from his posi- tion as grand secretary a few days ago and Charles H. Turner of the Mer- chants’ Exchange was elected to serve for the term which expires next April, when the Grand Parlor holds its an- nual meeting. The various officers of the Grand Parlor that are located in this city re- fused yesterdaw to discuss the short- age of Lunstedt, and every effort is beinz made to hush the matter up. Lunstedt and his intimate friends were engaged yesterday in trying to raise enough funds to make good the defal- cation. . James C. Gallagher, second grand vice president, and Henry S. Martin, grand treasurer, were seen yesterday, but they declined to make any state- ment as to Lundstedt’s shortage. They declared that Lundstedt was a “good fellow” and that “everything would be arranged satisfactorily.” Lundstedt’s brother, Theodore Lund- stedt, admitted that his brother was a Cefaulter, and said that the accused man did not care to make a statement at the present time. It is generally admitted that Henry Lundstedt has’ worked hard for the success of the Native Sons and that the defalcations of which he is ac- cused arose from his desire to enter- tain out-of-town members of the or- der when they visited San Francisco. The loose methods of bookkeeping pur- sued by Lundstedt and passed by the grand officers enabled the disgraced man to cover up his peculations. The sums of money that he used ille- gally are spread over the last seven years, and were taken in very small sums from time to time. Lundstedt has no property or means to make good his losses, but his friends say that they will see that no trouble comes to him from what they call “a misfortune.” ¢ A surety company is on Lundstedt’s bond in the sum of $4000, and his friends claim that they will make this amount good in addition to repaying the order of the Native Sons the |amount T.undstedt has squandered. Lundstedt's sal was recently raised to $2000 a year. L NOT AFFECTED. ORDER Grand President McNoble Issues State- | ment on the Lunstedt Matter. STOCKTON, Jan. 23.—Grand Presi- dent McNoble of the Native Sons gave {out a statement to-day regarding the | defalcation of Lunstedt. He says in | part: “It is a fact that the grand secretary | is short in his accounts. According to | his own confession he has been short | for eight years. The system he em- ‘ployed is new to experts. He kept a double set of accounts, only one of which the officials knew about. In a second set of books he recorded his peculations. His own handwriting shows the amount of money taken. His misdeeds will not affect the business of the Grand Parior or the management of the order.” ——— Is Man Lazy? The London Daily Mail finds that modern life tends to make us all lazy; | that people will no longer read poetry | because it requires effort; will no longer | row boats, dance dances or take a game | of whist seriously. And in this change of energy when he thinks it useful in his affairs. If he will not read poetry he will at least spend weary hours writing it, for the sake of the magaziae editor's check. If he will not dance he will buy up a whole theatrical troupe and wear himself thin in trying to raise money enough to keep them on the road. e no longer enjoys a quiet | game of whist with three old cronies on Saturday night; but propose to him a game of bridge—well, that, too, is something he can use in his business, The fact is, the modern man is des- perately lazy when he is not doing something.—Boston Transcript. ———— One Englishman's Wit. One of the hits in Lew Dockstader's performance the other night at Ham- merstein’s Victoria was his imaginary receipt of wireless messages from the McClellan banquet. He had dined with half a dozen lively individuals and an Englishman. all of whom had witnessed the show the evening before. “Weally, Mr. Dockstader,” said the Englishman, “can you explain how that Marconigram from Mr. Bryan got to the McClellan dinner, if there is no wireless apparatus on the Celtic?" “Dead easy,” he replied. “but you ‘won't give me away?" “Of course, I won't.” “Did you notice when I waved my hand in the air last evening? Yes? 1 sent it myself.” Then the Britisher got back at Dockstader. “Very good trick. Very ®ood.

The police were at once communi- cated with and an investigation showed that the man had arrived here from St. Louis, where the genuine tickets are printed, a week ago yesterday and reg- He had by Louis the paper on which the tickets are printed and called in the services of a printer here to reproduce some of the alluring slips. As soon as the winning num- bers were published they were printed on the duplicate coupons, each of which | called for $7500 and both were promptly cashed by check when presented at the ‘When the firm discovered the trick it engaged the services of Handwriting Expert Kytka, who pronounced the forgery a clever one. & The crock, after receiving the two checks for $7500 each, went to a ‘bank, but as he had no one to identify him, they were not cashed. He then called on Adolph Ottinger, the ticket broker on Market street, and asked him if he would indorse the checks. Ottinger ‘was obliging and the crook returned to the bank. Instead of taking coin, he secured drafts for the amounts on New York and took his departure for Los Angeles. ‘When Metzger & Franklin were no- tified of these facts the bank was com- municated with and payment of the drafts was stopped, so that the crook, through his own carelessness, may not gain anything by his bold fraud. His description was wired to Los Angeles by the police, with a request that he be arrested, but doubts are expressed as to whether he could be convicted for forging an illegal document. —_————— Detroit, the City of Pills.

Members from other tents will be added to the committee at the next meeting. ————— Japanese Poetry. A Western poet, wandering through a pine forest at night and suddenly perceiving in the utter darkness a gleam of silver light, might compare the moon shining to some fairy palace with glittering window panes; in short, to some object of his experience or imagination. The Japanese poet, on the other hand, would compare the glimmering light to “a moonlit crag of Fusiyama.” The Japanese always remains an ob- server. He never becomes one with na- ture. He does not possess the faculty of endowing inanimate objects with life, To invest clouds and woods with human thoughts and desires, as, for instance, Shelly has done, seems bald and meaningless to him, and such a sentence as ‘“Aurora, veiling herself in clouds, like a blushing girl,” he would consider in very bad taste. He looks at the world with the eyes of an ideal realist, or, rather, of an impressionist. Life passes like the dissolving views of a magic lantern, showing one beautiful landscape after the other, each one containing sufficient material for an ex- quisite vignette.—The Reader.
