tucked slyly into the dents of 9 crown or inside
a curve against the couture. And they nod in
great assorted punches Of marguerites and or
chids and gersniums and buttsrcups in front of

"Please Pass Jane. E"

From the San Francisco Examiner
Senator Stanford once had in his employ m
old servant named Jane Wallace After being
with his family a number Of years, she had
saved some money and went back to her old
home in New York. But the climate did no,
agree with her. The doctors told her that il
she came back to California she would gel
we'll So she wrote to her old employer and
asked him to furnish her with transportation.
Without thinking much about it, but ready to
oblige his old servant, he wrote on q sheet Of
note paper, please pass Jane from New York
to San Francisco" signed it and sent it to her
Jane never stopped to think OF the peculiar
form Of the pass or that it might not be recog.
nized by some OF the railways over which she
was to travel. She knew that her old master
owned two or three railroads, and she had an
idea that he owned one all the way to New
York. So she got on the train, and when the
conductor came around handed out the slip OF
paper. He looked at it. then at her and didn't
know what to do. There was Leland Stanford's
signature. and he didn't like to dishonor that.
So be telegraphed for instructions. and his su-
periors told him to send the woman right
though, and she came.
