Chips "

We yesterday morning received a
letter addressed to "The HERALD"
that is somewhat unique in appear
ance. On the eft h1nd upper corner
of the envelope is u donkey bestrided
by pioneer III wooden shirt and top
boots, with clay pipe in his mouth.
On the saddle behind the man is a
large pair of saddIebags marked "Ex-
pressp-no allusion to Senator Jones'
Los Angeles paper. On opening the
note we found printed invitation in
keeping with the envelope. On the
top of the page is the donkey, man
and express bag as on the envelope.
Beneath the picture are the figures
"l85ln." On the left hand side of the
page is steamer Gnder way, and on
the right hand side ii stage coach
drawn Uy six horses, all on the keen
run. On the lower margin of the sheet
is u railroad train, and beneath the
cars the figures "1S76." The letter
press of he invitation is as follows:
"Mr. and Mrs. Chips express their de-
sire to see yourself and lady at San.
ders' hall, cor ler OF New Montgomery
and Minna streets, Wednesday eve
ming at expressly o'clock, for the eX-
press purpose of expressing friendly
greeting. Signed, Mr.. and Mrs. P.
Hodgkins." The explanation of all is
that Hodgkins, whom few know by
that name, and whom all know as
"Chips," the genial and ever-faitheul
messenger of Wells, Fargo & Co., and
his estimable wife, wish 10 meet their
friends at the time and place above
named. "Chips" has been an ex-
pressman since Isl, and his pictorial
invitation tells at glance how he
travelled. At first the donkey, then
the stage coach, then the steamer,and
last scene of all, the lighting express.
Thus he has played and is playing his
part. No man has discharged his duty
more faithfully than "Chips," and we
know no man possesses to a greater
degree the confidence of those with
whom he has lived and moved. We
wish himself, wife and friends a pleas
ant evening on the occasion of the
"friendly greeting"

The following strange story Is told
by the San BernardinO Times: While
excavating the trenches for the gas
pipes in front of the Western Union
Telegraph office on Third street, there
was found embedded in the earth, q
curious piece ofcoin. On the face is
represented in bold relief profile of
J. G. Fremont, over which appears his
name, while underneath is seen the
date, Jan. 13, 1913. On the reverse
side is an American eagle, with the
motto, "Our Country" The metal of
which the coin is formed seems to be
brass or some composition similar,
and shows age and use, although still
in good state of preservation. 1t is
now in the possession of MIR. Baca.
A theatrical entertainment will be
given tonight at Turn-Verein Hall
for the benefit Of the Odd Fellows Re-
lief Fund. James Mortimer's come
dy, "Joy is Dangerous" will be per-
formed. The cast includes Mrs. G.
Roster, Miss Millie Leffens, Miss Fan
ME Benjamin, Messrs. B. w. Edel-
man, Z. II. Rothschild and Martin
Lehman. At the conclusion of the
dramatic entertainment the audience
will indulge in dancing. A very en-
joyable time may be looked for. A
great number of tickets have been
sold, and there will doubtless be one
of the largest audiences present ever
gathered in Turn-Verein Hall.
Dupuy g. Finney of the Pioneer Sta
bles make speciality of boarding
horses. They have the care of some
of the finest rigs in the city, and are
noted for the close attention and ex-
cellent treatment which they devote
to them. Besides the boarding facili-
ties this firm also have all the appoint
ments of first-ciass livery stable,
keeping every kind of turnout and the
most reliable horses in the city.
When you want Sunday rig, for
style, for utility, or for pleasure, go to
Dapuy & Finney.
Our enterprising fellow-citizen and
merchant, William Slaney, will visit
San Francisco in a day or two for
new stock of boots and shoes. When
he arrives with his goods, those who
desire pedal comfort as well as enjoy
the pleasure ofa graceful appearance,
should give him call.
Horse thieves are abundant and
very bold. A two thousand dollar
stallion was stolen from Los Nietos
night or two ago, but was captured
near Santa Monica. We have heard
of several other cases of such robber-
les. Double barrelled shot guns and
hemp are in order.
Those who observe the rules of
fashion as well as study comfort
should call on Desmond at once, who
has new stock of hats of every char.
