THE opening wetk of school Is an
epoch In every boy's and every
girl's life.
The little tots In the primary room
rhsfe under hitherto unknown re
straint. It is all a mystic maze, out of
which the most comprehensive thing is
a deluge of "don'ts." The teacher is
regarded alternately with fear and af
fection. Then there are a lot more
things to think about than learning to
read and count. Why does teacher
want the whole class to march like
soldiers when It Is easier and a lot
more fun to rush pell-mell out of the
building, and push and tumble over the
sidewalk? Why are stories of personal
experience suppressed? Why cannot
boys and girls exchange glowing ac
counts, more or less exaggerated, of
what papa or uncle can do. Instead of
looking at the blackboard and trying to
appear Interested?
A little further along the line are the
boys and girls who regard school as
nothing more than a designing institu
tion, perhaps founded by parents for
the sole purpose of getting rid of them
for so many month in the year and
purposely robbing them of aU that is
reany wortn living for. rebellion
vmolders until about Friday. The sec
ond week starts oft better, resentment is
gradually displaced by a happy-go-lucky
spirit and school Is not so bad, after all.
Just beyond this age of rebellion at
the opening of school are the classes of
children who realize the necessity of
education and take their studies serious
ly, but the flrst week Is passed in try
ing to figure out, "How I shall like my
teacher." By the end of the week the
teacher has undergone critical scrutiny.
her good and bad qualities are compared
with thorn of other teachers, she Is
freely discussed in the corridors, on the
playground and on the way to and from
school. The children gradually get "on
speaking terms" with teacher while the
analysis goes on, and Friday afternoon
finds them good friends.
General contentment marks the atti
tude of boys and girln in the last , year
of the grammar grades. They want to
finish "common school" and most of
them are anxious for the year to pass
so that they may enter high Khool.
, Once in high school, the battle Is over,
so far as pcrcnnal considerations are
concerned. High school students are
ambitious to begin study as soon as the
doors - of the big buildings open, and
while the instructors are placed in the
balance and weighed, everything starts
off in a perfunctory and matter of course
way.
The teachers, when Friday afternoon
comes, are worn out. The first week is
the most trying, of the year for them.
There are a thousand things to think of
and adjust. The teacher must "make
good" the first week, must establish a
common understanding that means dis
cipline, co-operation and confidence. In
short, everything must start off right
The trying ordeal is now over for ail
and this week it will be more like school.
PRETTY CALIFORNIA TOWN BURNS
CARE AT ANNUAL GRAPE FESTIVAL
Escondido Owes Fact That Municipality Is Free From Debt to Grapes, and People Are Grateful Los Angeles
Still Talks of Attempt Made to Wreck $900,000 Hall of Records.
In whicl, the . fuse could have been
placed there except by Connors. The
prisoner Had not been searched care
fully when booked the night before,
only weapons and money being taken
from his pockets. Several other ar
rests have been made and the police
and attorneys are busy working on the
case. Earl Rogers, attorney for the
iron company furnishing the material
for the Hall of Records, says that the
case against the strikers is complete,
and promises some sensations when the
case comes to trial.
"The Woman Scorned" claimed an
other victim In Los Angeles when Mrs.
Krauss shot Franklin H. Griffith after
he had refused to marry her. There
were a number of unusual features In
the shooting and what led up to it.
Mrs. Krauts cut a figure about a year
ago when she chased Griffith across the
country and every time she caught up
with him, berated him in hotel lobbies
or on -the streets.
At that time, however. It was not love
she was after It was money she
claimed to have Invested In mining
nroDertles on the advice of Griffith.
She said the properties were of no
value, and she wanted her money back.
Griffith denies that he asked her to In
vest and also that the properties are
of no value. Mrs. Krauss gave up the
merry chase of Griffith finally, when
she had to eo back to her home in
MemDhls and defend her- Interests in
divorce suit brought against her by Dr.
Krsnaii a. nhvslclan of note and an edu
cator of standing in the soutn.
Dr; Krauss had no difficulty getting
his divorce, and It seems that as soon
as Mrs. Krauss had got her financial
Interests In the doctor's estate satis
factorily arranged, she resumed the
more congenial occupation of trailing
Ort ffith.
This time, she asserts, that be asked
her to marry him and "her heart was
swept with a whirlwind of passion."
But at that time, she says, her distin
guished husband had not secured his
divorce, so she was not at liberty to
contract new marital ties. Griffith ad
mits that he was engaged to Mrs.
Krauss at one time, but that she had
told him she was single. When he
learned that she was the wife of anoth
er man. he "broke the engagement in
a gentlemanly manner.
Borne years ago,, s Mrs. Krauss was
well known in every newspaper office
of New Orleans, Memphis, and other
Southern cities, for she was everlast
ingly trying to break into print as an
author. She furnished many sketches
of her life with high lights and deep
shadows, telling In detail how she came
to write certain stories and verses that
unfortunately had never been printed.
Jane Doe. a woman who was a
mystery to Matron Shehl and the wom
an prisoners during a recent four days'
stay at the County Jail, returned to
the bastlle this week to thank the mat
ron and one of the prisoners for what
she said was the only kindness ' that
had been shown her since her husband
died 10 years ago. ,
This criticism of modern society was
delivered without the slightest trace of
bitterness, but It stirred many a heart
by Its bitter meaning. JJane Doe was
arrested one baturday night in Pasa
dena for begging food. She was hun
gry and without money and the only
way she could secure either was by
begging.
Four days elapsed before she could
be brought to trial, and in the mean
time the other women prisoners and
the matron tried to learn her Identity.
To all she replied that she was 1,'Jane
Doe" and desired no other name. Only
to Gertrude Drlggs, an aged woman
convicted of forgery, did "Jane Doe"
give any confidence.
To Mrs. Drlggs she confided that she
was 9 years old and that when her bus
band died he left her S000. Alleged
friends caused her to lose her money by
advising unwise investments. A few
weeks ago she saw her last coin disap
pear. For five days she went without
food; then she went to the street cor
ner ans asaed passersby for money.
When she was taken to the Justice court
for trial, she told Justice McDonald that
she would rather die than be imprisoned.
and that she would rather be Imprisoned
than tell him her name. She pleaded her
own cause, and so Impressed the Justice
that he released her. After a brief visit
to the county Jail to thank the matron
she disappeared, still keeping her real
name and identity secret.
From far-off Norway this week came
trie news vnat George G. Mackay, a
prominent local business man, had
walked off North Cape. Now. stepping
orr tne' northernmost promontory of
Norwax comes precious near walking
Into the Arctic Ocean, which would not
appeal to most people, even during the
hottest part of Summer.
(Mr. Mackay was with a number of
tourists, and visited North Cape to see
the midnight sun. The point of the cape
stands rudely sheer. 1000 feet of rock,
above the trapped waves of the Arctic
Ocean. It Is a difficult climb to the top.
but with about 260 'fellow-travelers Mac-
kav succeeded - and saw the SDlendld
spectacle he went to witness.
In making the descent the accident oc
curred. Mackay saw what he thought
was a short cut and took It. It proved
to be nearly a cut-off to eternity. In
making a desperate effort to arrive at
safe footing. Mackay missed his mark,
and his body went bounding 300 feet
down the wall of eternally frozen sur
face. To the onlookers his fate seemed
certain; there was apparently nothing
below him but the Iced waves from the
north and a few Jagged rocKs. Only a
slight projection stayed his fall. Rope
and tackle were secured, and after haz
ardous effort he was hauled again to the
top. His body was cut and bruised Us
entire -lengtn, ana nis rigni arm ana
ihoulder-blade were broken. Crude sur
gery was resorted to, and he is now on
his way home to have the broken bones
re-broken and properly set.

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 17. (Special.)
Eight tons of grapes was the
toothsome gift of Escondido to her
friends this week at the unique cele
bration of the anniversary of her free
dom from debt.
The little town In the sun-kissed val
ley back from the sea In San Diego
County plans for this anniversary from
the day following the celebration one
year until the dawn of the next anni
versary. It prides Itself on the fact
that It has all the conveniences of a
modern city and owes not a penny In
bonds or other civic Indebtedness.
Grapes cleared the debt and allowed
the municipal authorities to hold a
grand festival five years ago, when
bonds to the amount of half a million
dollars were burned. Everybody In
the valley was present at the bonfire,
and then and there It was decided to
make of the event an annual "inde
pendence day. Bo Escondido now
holds Its annual celebration that means
as much to Its people as does the
Fourth of July to the people of the
country. ,
From a purely local celebration. It
has b.romd an anniversary that Is
noted by all the people of Southern
California. Invitations are sent broad
cast, special trains are arranged for.
programmes of sports are prepared,
business houses are decorated and the
streets draped with banners, bands
practice for month for the day. and
everywhere the debt to grapes Is rec
ognized. Speeches are made by the chief city
and festival officials, and from early
morning until late at night the cele
bration continues. The vlneyardlsts of
the valley bring In the choicest fruit
from their vines to be heaped on a
grand platform, to be handed out to
the visitors from out of town as souve
nirs. But the souvenirs do not last
long. In addition to the eight tons
given away on grape day this year, as
many more were sent to city officials
and others In other cities of Southern
California.
Los Angeles Is still thrilled with the
recent attempt of the disgruntled onion
men to destroy the Hall of Records,
the $900,000 structure being erected
next the courthouse, on North Broad
way. The steel in this building cornea
from one of the open-shop concerns
that the onions are fighting. The at
tempt to wreck the building was such
a close call that the police force hasn't
fully recovered from the shock.
That It was a definite labor onion
plot. Is shown by the fact that a union
man himself, horrified by the disaster
planned, which was more than he could
stand, mysteriously notified the police
of the conspiracy. His Identity Is
known to the police, but they are keep
ing it secret to protect the man from
his fellows. There was some excite
ment In the central station when the
mysterious and startling information
came over the telephone shortly before
midnight. ,
The agitation In the voice at the oth
er end of the telephone wire was so ap
parent that, the officers lost no time
In getting to the scene of the planned
disaster. For a while there was no sign
of anything out of the way. Then sud
denly Patrolman Abel saw a figure
slinking through the shadows from the
rear of the building. Abel spoke to
him and for reply got a stinging blow
In the face that almost toppled him
I over.
The man fled as soon as he struck,
but Abel caught him and took him to
the station. The next morning two
sticks of dynamite were found on the
line of flight taken by this man, who
proved to be H. B. Connors, a member
of the striking Structural Iron Work
ers' Union, and a man thoroughly con
veraant with the use and handling of
dynamite through experience as a mine
worker.
His companion on the night of the In
tended dynamiting, up to within a few
minutes of the appearance of Connors
at the building, was A. B. Maple, an
other striker and the first man to be
arrested and given a Jail sentence for
picketing and slugging workmen dur
ing the present strike. He had Just
been released from Jail for this offense
when the dynamiting plot was nipped.
The next day the police were startled
to find In the cell occupied by Connors
a piece of fuse. The cell had been
thoroughly cleaned the day before Con
nors was arrested and there was ne way

Shy Artist Obliges Ator, Who Allows
Picture to Bo Fainted.
PARIS, Sept. 17. (Special). To M.
Paul Mounet, brother of M. Mounet
Sully, in his dressing-room at the
Comedle Francatse, entered a shy
young artist, and reminded him of his
promise to sit to him. The actor was
not pleased. "Five minutes is abso
lutely ail I have to give you; begin
this Instant and do what you can.
and M. Mounet sat down.
The young artist had only just taken
out pencil, and sketch-book, when up
leaped M. Mounet, and roared with a
roar, which made the Theatre Francals
rock. He was cast for a classical mat
inee, and his expletives "were approp
riate: "Zeus and Hades; Thunder and
blazes I I have left my bath tap open.
and I shall be called on the stage In
five minutes. Boy, here are my keys;
run like lightning; take a taxicab, and
turn off the tap."
The artist flew, and arrived Just as
the water was pouring over the edge of
the bath. He came back; M. Paul
Mounet took him to his arms. "My
gratitude will be lifelong; I will sit
for ever," and the young artist is now
painting a portrait of M. Paul Mounet,
with which he hopes to make a name.

There's no drawing the line between curable and incur
able ailments. Each Individual case must be considered.
Most doctors claim that among the class of ailments peculiar
to men one or two are incurable. The idea is wrong. I have
demonstrated that it Is wrong, for I cure all ailments of
men. The truth ia that some cases of curable ailments are
incurable by some doctors, and some cases of so-called In
curable ailments are easily curable by the right methods.
I by no means claim the ability to cure any any every
case that may come to my office, but I claim to cure most
of the cases that others cannot cure, and I always refuse
treatment where conditions indicate that I will be unable
to obtain thorough and lasting results.
Tbe Leading Specialist.
Contracted Ailments
In no other ailment peculiar to
men is a prompt and thorough cure
so essential. Contracted ailments
tend to work backward until the
most vital nerve centers become in
volved in the Inflammation. Then
follows a chronic stage that stub
bornly resists all ordinary treat
ment. Safety demands that every
vestige of infection be eradicated at
the earliest possible moment. My
treatment is thorough. The reme
dies employed have a more positive
action than has ever before been at
tained, and so perfect is my method
of application that even chronic
cases yield completely.
Varicose Veins
Under- my treatment the most ag
gravated cases of varicose veins are
cured in a short time. There is no
pain and it is seldom necessary that
the patient be detained from his oc
cupation. Normal circulation is at
once restored throughout all the
organs, and the'r natural processes
of waste and repair are again estab
lished. If you are afflicted with
varicose veins consult me at once.
Delav can but bring on aggravated
conditions that will Impair the vital
functions and Involve the general
health.
No other physician employs a like
treatment, and so thorough Is my
work that there need not be the
slightest fear of a relapse into old
conditions.
Nerve Weakness
My success in permanently curing
that condition commonly known as
" weakness " fully demonstrates the
absolute correctness of my method
of treatment, which is a method em
ployed by myself alone. I do not
stimulate the functions to temporary
activity by the use of strong internal
tonics. This is a course commonly
pursued by both general practition
ers and specialists, and is a treat
ment that can not possibly result in
a permanent cure. "Weakness" is
merely a symptom of chronic in
flammation brought on by Improper
treatment of some ailment. A com
plete and radical cure is accom
plished 'promptly and completely
without the use of Internal reme
dies. My treatent Is a local one
entirely. It is original and scien
tific, and has been proved absolute
ly effective by thousands of tests. I
am convinced that by no other meth
ods can full and permanent restora
tion of strength and vigor be accom
plished. No Surgery for Piles
Though I have seldom made men
tion of .this distressing ailment in
my announcements, new cases come
to me every day for treatment as a
result of recommendations from'
those I have cured. I positively cure
all cases of piles by use of soothing
and heaMng remedies.
MY BEST REFERENCE IS:

Specific Blood Poison
Others dose the system with min

than the ailment itself. The best
they hope to do by this treatment Is
to keep the ailment from manifest

the body. Under my treatment the
entire system is cleansed. The last
taint of virus is destroyed. Every
symptom vanishes to a'p'p'e'a'r no
more. I employ harmless, blood
cleanslng remedies. They are reme
dies heretofore unknown In the
treatment of thia ailment. They cure
by neutralizing and absolutely de

Such cures cannot be other than
complete and permanent.
