about in good spots from which to inspect
the procession. No one who has never
been to ''calico ball" can have any idea
OF the possibilities of calico when prop
erly combined with feminine genius.
After that the calico feature. of the
ball dropped out of sight and it was
ordinary dancing and flirting, with oc-
casional saunters to the bar-room on one
side and visit to the supper-room about
one o'clock. While George and Jennie
sat at table there the strawberry
blonde, who had found a partner in a
gentleman with bias eyes, came in, and,
sitting near, drew her upper lip we'll
back in cutting smile, and, between
draughts from trimming glass Of beer,
remarked with extreme distinctness and
direct look at Jennie:
cts my opinion that somebody amt
been actin square here tonight"
Jennie, biting the end off of pickle
meditatively, seemed not to hear.
1t was three o'clock when the ball
broke up. Jennie and George walked
home, the street.car was such long
time coming. Jennie was tired, and it
was no wonder she leaned heavily on
Georges arm. She had to slip off her
gossamer in the vestibule in her wrestle
with her pocket in search Of the key.
When she had found it she slipped 1t in
the lock, and, facing about in the dim
light, stuck her hands again in the
apron pockets and locked saucy. George
seemed to have an idea again, but II
there was any inspiration connected
with it, it came too late, for in mo-
ment afterward Jennie's hand had
stolen back to the key, the door was
opened, and with goodnight that
forcibly recalled "Cash here!' when
''cash" hasn't been here after the first
two calls, she went inside, and the ball
was over
George walked home with an uneasy
feeling, as If he had lost something
without just knowing what it was, and
Jennie, up in her room, stood before the
glass for a moment with her hands in
those apron pockets again, laughed
little laugh, and gurgled:

"Oh, nothin'; amt 1t pretty?"
Jennie probably referred to the looks
Of the hall under the brilliant lights,
and George replied that it was pretty.
With the first bars Of the music the
important looking man had started out
on a slow, impressive pace straight down
one side Of the hall. Others in calico
coats fell in behind him, keeping step.
George got up after Jennie had nudged
him seven or eight times, and joined the
procession. After all who wore calico
coats were marching those who were
in ordinary dress, including three swal-
low tails, few frocks, many cutaways
and fine assortment Of sacks, fell in
behind them, SO that presently there
were hundred or so men in line pacing
solemnly and with short steps down the
hall. At the end the leader turned, took
two steps, and then turned again to
face back at the end from which he had
started, and so the line doubled on itself,
the march proceeded.

BOY AND BULLDOG.

A Pair of Them Create Excitement on
Public Street.
Last evening little girl was going down
street, accompanied by gentle we'll
hammered setter dog, as her guardian.
When in the vicinity of Sixth street she
encountered young hoodlum with a
square-jawed bulldog which bore strik-
ing resemblance to himself.
The hoodlum set his big headed brute
upon the child's pet, and for the next ten
minutes that neighborhood was in wild
uproar. The bulldog chewed the setter,
and the little girl rent the air with her
shrieks and was thrown almost into con-
WILSON'S.
While this was going on crowd of men
gathered and tried to save the defenseless
victim of the bulldogs brutality, and there
was more shouting and yelling, the hood
lum coming in for slap, which sent him
home crying.
Finally, when the bulldog relaxed his
jaws for rest, the little girl gathered up
the remains of her pet dog and was about
to leave the spot, when a woman, who
claimed to be the boys mother, bore down
upon the scene, and in language that would
have filled fishwoman's breast with envy,
vented her wrath upon the crowd because
her bye" had been assaulted.
The air was SO blue about there for a
while that the electric-hght bugs lost their
reckoning.
The bulldog crop this season appears to
have been rather prolific one. The hood
lum harvest never fails.

Last night was decidedly the "buggiest'
one of the season. The wind got around
to the northward during the day, and after
nightfall the bugs came in from the tules
in such swarms that the electric lights in
restaurants and saloons had to be shut off
There was an endless variety of the
pests, and "bugolegists" should have been
in their glory.
There were heavyweight bugs, with
webbed feet; big bugs that were nearly all
feet; middle-weight. welter-weight, light
weight and feather weight bugs, and bugs
so small tnat ordinary screens afforded no
protection against them.
They swarmed everywhere, and the
newspaper compositors picked more bugs
out of their cases than they did type. No.

a Farmer who Should Engage IN Some
Other Business.
A rancher who lives near the American
river called on the Supervisors yesterday TO
see how the place was taxed. He did not
object to the $50 an acre valuation placed
on $50 acres of it, but kicked" vigorously
at being taxed $40 an acre for the other 80
acres.
"Why, gentlemen" said he, II rent out
my ranch for 5000 year. Last year paid
$3.50 10 in taxes, leaving me but S4l9 80 to
live on for the year. Right across the
river on the grant the average tax on the
land is but SIT an acre. l don't call that
just and equal taxation, by long shot ~
If the gentleman owns 160 acres of land
that he considers is worth even $50 an acre
he should be able to make more than S4l9
a year on it. III another column appears
an item from a Woodland paper to the
effect that $1,000 profit was made on
twenty-five-acret tract of potatoes this year
on Cache creek.
While $50 or $40 an acre assessment on a
160-acre tract that yields but $419 year
seems like an excessive valuation, on the
other hand it seems equally strange that
the income should not be at least eight
times that sum if the land were properly
cultivated
