Sup e \

must be confessed it adds much to the
excitement to have financial interest
at stake. Many man who did not see
much to enjoy in the running races found
that an investment OF few dollars on
the outcome added great deal of zest.
Speaking of the races, many who have
been buying pools on telegraphic re-
ports heretofore had the pleasure of
laying their money with their favOrites
in full Sight-horses they have been
reading about and betting on for months
without seeing them. The chances are
that more than one man looked with
curiosity when he saw for the first time
tine horses that had won or lost him
money before he had the pleasure of an
introduction.
Every man who visits the ball park
stops to wonder why the SiX-foOt space
between the sidewalk and the fence was
not given the ball park. Why didn't
they get it? Why? Because it is
boulevard. AS boulevard it is not
shining success. The city had better
take some care of 1t or let Morton cover
1t with fence. Such bOulevardS make
better appearance inside high board
fence, anyhow.
a rumpus because of the disturbance
the games would create in the neighbor-
hood, are all quiet now. Aid. Bar
rows, the other, day, was
asking his Tenant, who had
protested so loudly against the ball
park nuisance, that the alderman felt
constrained to vote against it-"how
do you get along with the ball park?
Does it disturb you much?' NO."
answered the Tenant with grin. "You
see the management sent me pass, so
l go over and enjoy the disturbance
with the rest of the boys"

There Is a good story told on Amos
Cayerly, illustrating the embarrassment
of getting into the wrong house A few
nights ago Amos and family were in
Vited to party at Fillmore'S. on Thrift
eth street, and, hitching up the family
horse, proceeded leisurely to the place
of entertainment. Arriving they were
ushered politely upstairs and removed
their things" After a few minutes the
dismounted Caverlys came downstairs,
stepped into the parlor to greet
the host and hostess, and found
themselves among total strangers.
They had gotten into the wrong house.
There was a party there, but it was not
the party they were looking for. Mutual
explanations followed. and the family
carryall was soon bowling along toward
FillmOre's. 1t proved that they had
gone two blocks beyond their destina-
ton, and had gotten into County Treas
urer James residence, who was cele-
brating his silver wedding the same
evening.
One of the surest indications of
health and clear conscience is gen
uine old-fashioned snore. That being
the case there is a certain gentleman
who resides Cn Western avenue, who
must be perfect imbecile as far as in
nocence, health and clear conscience
is concerned. About II o'clock each
night he begins his nightly task of
snoring and God help the weary watch
ers who live within half block of
his domicile. His snOre is not the ordi-
nary, kind by any means, but
that comes to his hearers with trill
and whoop. 1t begins with basso
profundo, and slides down the scale as
far as ia, me-" then takes a switch
and climbs up as far as zee, do" gem
orally as clear as flute, depending.
however, upon the state of the weather
and larnyX of the Snorer. 1t bothered
the policeman the first time he came on
the beat that runs directly under the
snoTer's window. IIeimagined all sorts
of things, and was positive that some
one was being murdered. He has
since learned the cause of the
fearful sour IS, but vows vengeance Oh
the man W. makes them, as it breaks
up his midnight and early morning nap.
Inc police commission, which is having
hnger in nearly every pie, will pr0ba-
bly, take some action regarding the mat
ter, providing that Commissioner Giiert-
son will coincide.
