Mr. Castiglionis, still gazing sus- piciously at the counterfeit present- ment, muttered: “Great. Whose mug is it?” The picture dealer frowned and Mrs. Caetiglionls gasped. “Whose?” she stammered. “Why, how can you stand there and ask such a thing? Just as if a blind person couldn't see that it's mamma.” Mr. Castiglionis’ doubt abruptly van- ished. “Mamma, hey he Inquired, surveying the portrait with unfavorable eye. “And how much am I expected to pay for mamma?” Ere the picture dealer could answer Mrs. Castiglionis, with illy concealed trepidation, twittered: “Oh, it's too cheap for anything. When you see it hanging in the sitting-room and think of what we've paid for it, you'll—" “How much?’ implacably repeated Mr. Castiglionis. “Six dollars and a half,” said the picture dealer. “Take it away before I break it,” said Mr. Castiglionis, stretching forth a menacing hand. “Touch it if you dare, you stingy brute!” shouted Mrs. Castiglionis, grasping the picture. “Your mamma, indeed!” yelled Mr. Castiglionis, seizing the fragile thing, wrenching it from the lady’s clutch and plunging one of his heavily booted feet through it. “Mamma, indeed! That's what I'll do with mamma’s likeness, and would like to do with mamma her- self!” And he hurled the demolished portrait out of doors. Police Judge Conlan, before whom Mr. Castiglionis was accused of mali- cious mischief by the picture dealer, L. Shenker, proposed a compromisee, but it was mutually rejected. The de- fendant claimed that intrinsically the picture wasn't worth 50 cents, and he | wouldn’t take that number of dollars | and allow it to be added to his art col- | Mr. Shenker, on the other hand, declared that the frame alone was cheap at the price he asked for the entire outfit, and he couldn’t think of accepting one cent less than that price. “Then,” said his Honor, “I must dis- miss the case.” Mrs. Castiglionis was too grief-strick- en to testify. . . Fred J. Chase, a cigar dealer, con- versed over a ten-party telephone line with Miss Violet Posener of 373 Hayes street, and G. W. Ledyard of 365 Hayes street “rubbered in” and regaled himself with the young folks’ exchange of lan- guage. After Mr. Chase had rung off Mr. Ledyard rung up Miss Posener and =aid things to her which impelled her to inform Mr. Chase that she had been grossly insulted, whereupon Mr. Chase enlisted the aid of his chum, “Jack” i Curtis, and proceeded to Mr. Ledyard's’ residence, called him to the door and soundly thrashed him. That's_how the story was told to Judge Fritz, before. whom Messrs. Chase and Curtis were charged with battery by Mr. Ledyard. The complain- ant said the defendants first requested him to apologize, which he did, and then they most feroclously assailed him, Miss Posener has been subpenaed to estify next Tuesday. Ll “What's the use of me saying any- thing?"” inquired P. H. Ashman when asked to explain why he stole a patent clock from 2 bowling alley in which he was employed as a setter-up of ‘en- he contmued, “and you wouldn’t belleve anything 1 would say. But I don't blame you for that, because I don't be- h(:,ve d:w-‘:lt half the time.” udge Mogan pronounced him guils of petty larceny. 3 H t Attorney J. D. Grady so far forgot th deference due the dignity of Jndr:g le Laniss’ court as to lose his temper in 2 lottéry case and call Attorney Jacob Meyer a double-blanked liar. Thé Judge promptly pronounced the excited plead- er guiity of contempt and as promptly “I was too abrupt, your Honor, apoiogize to the court for my llu!:::l; lanszh e.; l;id Grady. ““Then the fine is reduced t " 2 the Judge. “‘and if o o ard reiteraled his regret (Le fine wes | reduced to ¥ W.

It was h_ls | wont to practice marksmanship in Madame Nateneka's establishment, his ' putative purpose being to fit himself for efficient service in the Mikado's army if he should be summoned to serve, and the lady testified that every time he made a poor shot he swore | strange oaths at himself and incident-| | ally hurled insulting epithets at her.| He pleaded provocation, alleging that| { while he popped at the targets Madame | | Nateneka twitted him on his misses | and broadly hinted that if he ever en-| tered the army his shooting would be; more dangerous to his comrades than to the enemy, so widely did his bullets | ily from the direction he intended.

R e Hogan's monthly pay day is al- hailed with unction by the fun-.| ng folk resident of the vicinage of | Twenty-second and Kentucky streets, | | for Pat Hogan spends a considerable | | portion of his salary for ardent :plflu; |and when under their influence is a | | | source of innocent merriment for the neighborhood. He is naturally of jocose | temperament, and even while dead sob- | | er can always be depended upon to say or do something funny; but when his | | inherent humor is enhanced by liquid | stimulation, no circus clown can equal His employers, a firm of contrac- have become so accustomed to his ity of jest that they no longer consider it derogatory to his usefulness as a laborer, and his monthly absences from toil are accepted as a matter of course. No other man on their pay roll could do as Pat Hogan does and retain | his job a second month. Mr. Hogan’s periodical lapse occurred | Thursda when he received his hire | for November, and the capers he In- | dulged in kept the neighborhood in an | alternation of chuckles and screams until Patrolman McAuliffe, whose sense | of the ludicrous is not of the keenest, | spoiled the fun by running him in. | Completely to enumerate the defend- ant’s comicalities, as they were re- | | i s counted by the policeman to Judge Mo- gan, would be an unwarranted trespass upon space. Suffice it to say that he cut pigeon wings, pranced cakewalks, turned somersaults, sang ‘‘come-all- yes,” gave imitations of varlous ani- mals and birds and incidentally spent his hard-earned money with the free- dom of a drunken saflor. It was to| save several feminine spectators from threatened side-splitting, the policeman averred, that he hastened Mr, Hogan to prison. Hogan’s dismissal is likely to be his sentence to-day. . James Connor, alias “Jimmie the Pig,” waved as a tree sways in a gale when he stood before Judge Conlan to be tried for vagrancy, and in response to an inquiry if he was drunk an em- phatic negative was uttered. “l was as sober as any man could be Mr. Connor explained, “when I | started to come up here, but the twist- | ings and turnings of the stairway de- ranged my physical equilibrium and I have not had time to regain it. That corkscrew-like means of ascent is enough to make the stoutest man crooked and wobbly.” | If a betraying breath had not wafted from the defendant to the bench his plea of sobriety might have been ac- cepted, but the Judge sniffed and then said: ‘1l give you twenty-four hours in the lower cells, and I hope the return trip may take the kinks out of your legs and restore your bodily balance.” . Miss Edith Hyde, the cand; irl w) haa Car Conductor L. O. D. ‘Aloxanaes arrested for obtaining a license to wed her while he was incumbered with a better half, pressed her perjury charge in Judge Mogan's court. Her testi- mony developed no new facts, other than that she had quarreled with alex- | ander when he procured the license and submitted it to her as a peace offering, which she accepted by promising to ac- company him to the hymeneal altar on January 1, 1905. The hearing will be re- sumed to-day, when the clergyman who married Alexander to Miss Callahan will testify. ——— A New Art Gallery.

Consideration of this bill was not reached until the evening session. In the morning Chief Justice Beatty, act- ing as president of the association, read an annual report, in which he relterated his statements of last year to the ef- fect that, referring to the failure in the Legislature of what is known as “the | Works bill,” he “never considered any lating the acquisition and use of water rights essentiil to the attainment of the main _objects of this association.”” Jus- tice Beatty also reviewed the tramsac- “happy to feel assured that there is no abatement of public interest and no Jjealousy or opposition to the efforts we are making.” He further said: The laws enacted and proposed for the pur- pose of averting the denudation of our forests are the result of a strongly aroused public sentiment and the general conviction of all who have seriously considered the subject is that the policy I8 wise and of vital importance and | insures popular support of legislation of the | character which, in the more highly civl lx@dj countries of the 'world, has proved that forests may nct only be preserved, but extended at the same time that they are yielding a hand- in_the science of forestry. No new plan of the revision of laws govern- has been formulated and published. Therefore | there 18 nothing to be lald before the conven- tion_except the expediency of again presenting the Werks bill in its original or in some modi- | fied form. My own opinion, as you are aware, | is that it is not the true policy of this asso- | ciation to engage in any effort to revise the water laws of the State. What is most urgent- and natural conditions in order to obtain the tion and other uses is economically feasible and in what manner the destruction of our forests by fire and other causes may be pre- vented. Such_investigation has been actively carried on during the last two yéars by officers of the Federal Government, the expense being partly defrayed out of the appropriation of $60.000 granted by the last Legislature at our solici- NEW COMMISSION 1 am confident, show that the money has been | wisely and economically expended and that a mass of avallable information has been ob- tained at a minimum cost. They will also show, formed, that the work, though 1 am inf far advanced, 18 still {ncomplete and the Legis, lature will be asked to furnish the means o carrying it to completion in co-operation with the Federa! Government. E. A. Sterling of the Bureau of For- estry read a paper on the subject of “The Place of Lumbering in California Forestry.” He said that protection of | the forests against fire is the greatest requirement. Second only to fire pro- tection and dependent upon applied | measures of fire protection is the util- ization of the forest resources, in other words the cutting over of timber lands in such & manner as not to destroy the future forest-producing power of the | land, open it up to erosion and destroy its water retaining capacity or cause | it to revert to worthless chaparral. Sterling spoke about the forest re- serves in this State that aggregate near- ly 9,000,000 acres. The greater part of | California’s timber lands is in the| hands of individuals and corporations, | he said, who can and will utilize it for their own interests. Concerning this phase of the situation Sterling said in part: I want to make particularly strong the point that the State should not, stand idly by and | depend on what the National Government has | done and will do to save the State's forests. | There is an urgent and definite State duly | toward the private timber land owners, in n-! | | sisting them by wise laws to protect their holdinge from fire and by giving them expert advice in matters of forest management. Practically the whole lower timber belt of the Slerras the greater part of the forests | elsewhere are held by lumbermen. One Investor in the northern part of this State owns no less than 400,000 acres. Many others own tracts of from 20,000 to 100,000 acres. lmagine the effect upon stream flow on the flocd conditions and on the timber supply and future pros- perity of the State if these enormous tracts are cut over and burned until the lands now forested are bare or chaparral covered, whether you consider the floods in the Sacramento Val- ley, tbe water for irrigation ditches or the | prices you moust pay for lumber, the outcome | along any of these lines will be mightily af- fected by the methods followed by the lumber. men during the next fifteen years. W. C. Hodge Jr. of the Bureau of Forestry read a report in which he sug- gested a working plan under the co- operation of the State and of the United States in California. Some of his suggestions were as follows: Reclamation of existing chaparral to consist of experiments for restoring the forest by care. ful burning of the brush, followed by plant- | ing of seeds or seedlings; protection of forest areas from fire in order to prevent an increase | in the chaparral and give opportunity for the | natural return of the forests. These resuits | would be obtained by careful burning of | “slash’’ left after lumbering and the prepara- tion of detailed plans of fire protection suited | to the local conditions on limited tract | plication of lumbering methods, which will | insure a future growth of timber instead of | chaparral. Under this head. plans of man- | agement for representative s would be prepared. The result of such a series of ex- periments would be of enormous value to the State. Professor Samuel Fortier of the Uni- versity of California,connected with the irrigation and drainage investigations of the State's Department of Agricul- ture, who is in charge of the co-opera- tive irrigation investigations in Califor- nia, read a long report in which he con- sidered from a practical standpoint the pumping plants of the State, the duty | of water under pumping plants, the value of water in fruit growing, the evaporation from a water surface and the relation of soil moisture to plant growth. A part of his paper is as fol- lows: In portions of California which receive more than fifteen inches of rainfali in a year opin- fons of orchardists differ as to the value of irrigation in their industry. In regard to this we have obtained testimony from & large num- ber of irrigators throughout the Pacific_Coast States. As to the general results it may be sad that they are decidedly in favor of the value of irrigation. The first inquiry was with reference to the quantity of the product | as affected by irrigation, and the testimony | of over 200 experienced men went to show that the increase due to a supplementary water supply by irrigation varted from 10 to 100 per cent. The secend inquiry was whether irrigation increased the regularity of bearing. Of the opinions received about 90 per cent were fa- vorable to irrigation and 10 per cent were doubttul. The third inquiry was with reference to the general qualities and commercial characters of irrigated fruit. The numerical result was that cighty-seven growers maintained the superior- ity of firigated fruit. The effect of water on the yield of cereals on the worn out soils of the San Joaquin Val- ley 18 belng tried. In experimenting with barley last winter the natural rainfall, which amounted to four and a half inches during the period of growth, produced at the rate of nine bushels per acre, while the application of sixteen inches of water increased the yield to twenty-two bushels per acre. In the case of wheat, the rainfall produced straw but no grain, four inches of water produced a yield at | the rate of ten bushels, and sixteen inches of | water increased the yield to thirty-elght bush- els per acre. At the evening session Southern Cali- fornia/ for the first time since the as- | sociation was formed, was given the| presidency on recommendation of a nominating committee appointed by Justice Beatty, consisting of Scipio tation.
