A Girl's Temptation.
The following from the pen of
uoromy liix should be read by
cvti j jruung gin :
"Lurking in the shadow behind
every young girl, so close that it
can almost touch her, is a demon
ot temptation that is forever
whispering in her ear. What does
it say? To each is promises her
heart's desire if she will only
listen anu go a little way down the
primrose path.
"To the poor pretty girl it
promises rich clothes, jewels and
laces that will make a fitting
frame for her beauty.
"To the half starved girl of the
sweat-shops it offers food and
warmth and shelter, the softness
and case of life.
"To the weary shop girl it
whispers of fast automobiles that
go like the wind, mad joy rides
and gay suppers where champagne
foams in the glasses, and all is
laughter and light and merrymaking-
"To the ambitious girl is holds
out the allure of swift success,
the thrill of seeing one's 'name in
flaunting letters over a theatre
door.
"To the sentimental it talks of
love of romance, of great passions
that gave all and counted not the
cost, and that defied all the laws
of God and man when they stood
between two hearts.
"To all the worn and weary and
lonely, to all who have struggled
and been defeated, it whispers:
'What's the use? Be happy, if
even for a moment. Take what
you want, whether it be right or
wrong.'
"And so temptation gathers
them in, the poor little girls who
have turned their heads to listen.
They don't know enough to know
how to answer it, or even to be
afraid, because the temptation
comes to them in so many guises.
Sometimes it takes the appearance
of a handsome young man, some
times an old friend of the family.
Sometimes it is dire need, and
'often it is just the things a girl
wants. That's the way it gets
them.
"It's always just behind close
close girls, this demon that is
ready to seize you and devour
you, body and soul. Go surely,
and r;i fear ami trembling, and
when the devil of temptation be
gins to whisper in your ear, run
home to your mothers. That's
the only safe place, for mothers
have a charm to exercise witch
craft." THIS 'HYPNOTIC DOCTOR
FELT EVEN IN GRAVE
Widow Who Gave Him Fortune
Says
,s Dead Husband Warned
Against Him.
San Francisco, April 7. Did the
isychii ctise of Thomas Holdsworth,
icightencd by his blindness, enable
hiiu to detect the smster hypnotic
powers f Dr. Arthur Fournier?
The answer lies on the other side
of the grave, for Holdsworth died on
September -V Itut the widow of the
old river captain, Mis. Nina Holds
worth, who caused Dr. Fournier's ar
rest on a charge of having taken her
home and her jewels, answers the
unction emphatically in the .titirin.v
ttve. She s.ivs her husband, while
living, w. lined her against the danger
ous aura ot their new (omul friend.
M
is. Iloldswoilh sas that, under j
the spell of Dr. Fournier, she grad
ually sank into a state of deep hyp
nosis, in which she deeded to Four
nier her home at 417 Lyon Street,
and'gavye him all her money and jew
els. ..' .,
Dr. Fournier, who was arrested in
Oakland as he was about to take a
train for Boston, was arraigned yes
terday .before Police Judge Weller,
ami his hearing set for April 10.
A civil suit also has been filed in
file Superior court in which Mrs.
Holdsworth charges that, after her
health had been broken by the sinis
ter influence of the physician, she
was sent to the Buena Vista Sani
tarium, where, under the strange
necromancy of Founder, she signed
a deed to her home o'n November 1 1.
Mortages Home; Spends It.
When she returned home and, under
Ihe ministration of relatives, began
to understand what had happened, she
learned that Dr. Fournier had mort
gaged the Lyon street property for
$2,500. About half this' money had
been spent, he said, when he was ar
rested Thursday night.
The police are investigating hints
that other women had had similar
experiences with Fournier. Mrs. Ger
trude Winter, niece of Mrs. Holds
worth, said three women had tele
phoned her to inmiirc about the nhv-
sician, making guarded reference to
having been victimized. None, she
said, would give their telephone nu
hers.
The county medical board inquired
into Fournier's connection with the
death of Mrs. Fannie Muse Haswcll
about a year ago, on the ground that
he had no license, and his reputed
purcuasc oi questionable drugs at
waneicys ilrug store.
"1 have been nromiscd some im
portant evidence in the case," said C.
A. S. Frost, attorney for the board,
out as tne evidence did not appear,
no action was taken against Four
nier. Dr. Fournier met Mrs. Holdsworth
through J. A. Thompson, a former
river pilot, who lived at the Holds
worth residence.
HOBBLE SKIRT LOOKER
FALLS BEFORE TRAIN
New York Subway Express
Stopped Barely in Time to
Save Youth's Life.
New York, April 8. A daper young
man descending the subway stairs at
the Seventy-second street station
passed a trim young woman on her
way up the street. She wore a hob
ble skirt.
Turnino- when he reached th nln
form, the youth watched the irirf as
cend. At the same time he kept walk
nig backward along the edge of the
platform and -'fell "on-the uptown ex
press iracKs.
Several women fainted. The vnimir
man lay where he had fallen, his head
within a fraction of an inch of the
deadly third rail.
An elderly man jumped down and
ran south between the rails, waving
his silk hat. As the northbound ex
press, going at too sliced., swim 17
around the curve, he dodged back to
ine sotiinnound tracks and was near
ly struck by a train that rushed in
from the north.
1 he engineer of the tmtnwn train
however, had applied the air imme
diately, stopping the cars with a jerk
mat uircw tne passengers trom their
seats. The forward trucks of the
'rstj car rested against the prostrate

Several men iumned Imm tl ,-
form and lifted the youth Ito hit
feet. He took the train that had
come within inches of killing him and
was whisked away. The elderly man
who had saved his life took the down
town train and disappeared. Less
than five minutes had passed since,
the peeper had turned to watch the
hobble skirt, lint several women in
various stages of recovery gave new
comers a hint that something strange
had happened.

OTTO LESCH AGAIN
REFUSES TO WORK
Man Given Chance to Redeem
Self Is Ungrateful Towards
Police Court.
IS NOW RESTING IN CITY
JAIL ON BREAD AND WATER
Is Most Eccentric Character
Local Police Have Contended
With in Sometime.
Miraculously escaping from death
Sunday afternoon, when he was
dragged from a cell in the
city jail , after - it is alleged he
had set fire to the building, and being
dealt with linently in the police
court yesterday morning by Police
Judge Van Tassel, who imposed a
sentence of 10 days in the city jail
or $20 and costs on the drunk charge,
after giving him some sound advice,
all appeared naught to Otto Lesch,
when he was taken before the court
this morning where he again refused
to do any manual labor on the streets.
Lesch is conceded to be the most
unreasonable and eccentric character
local police have had to' contend with
in sometime, and they are at a loss
to fathom his case.
This is the second 'charge of drunk
enness preferred against the prisoner.
He was arrested on another charge
about two weeks ago and created
considerable attention when he re
fused to pay a fine of $10 and costs
or to work on the streets. He was
placed in the city jail on a bread and
water diet and after spending the
day, a friend came to his relief and
paid the fine.
Judge Van Tassel's leniency toward
the wayward man came as a surprise
in police circles. It is claimed that
if ever the judge gave a prisoner
good sound advise and a snlenHtrt
chance to redeem himself, it was sure
ly given to Lesch. but from the ac
tions of the man this morning when
he declined to work has proven be
yond a doubt that he has utterly dis
regarded or failed to avail himself
of the chance to turn over a new
leaf.
It is reasoned that Lesch's actions
were instigated from pure stubborn
ness .or that, he is unable to com
prehend the significance of his situa
tion. His action in the police court
was the same as" before, when he
point blank refused to work on the
streets. He stated that he would be
willing to clean up the city offices,
by mopping the floors and washing
the windows, but that he would rather
go back to jail than do any other kind
of work.
Judge Van Tassel remanded the
prisoner back to jail on bread and
water. The judge later stated that
no prisoner can select his own work
as punishment and that if they are
not willing to bear the work imposed
upon them, bread and water in the
city jail will fall their lot.
Lesch will be compelled to remain
in confinement unless he submits to
work as designated by the court, or
pays the fine. It is believed that
Lesch has plenty of money to pur
chase his release but out of stubborn
ness refuses to do so.
, When he was taken from the burn
ing jail by Policeman Marshall it is
claimed, Lesch after surviving jeer
mgly remarked that it was an easy
matter to get out of that hole and
he appeared to consider it a good
loke. B
