man Made Happy.

"On, please sir, mas any OHe brought d
purse to you?'
She was pretty little woman. but there
was tremor about the mouth as she ad-
dressed the query to the police officer at
the children's quarter in the Golden Gate
Park yesterday, that plainly indicated
that the lost purse contained more than
she could afford to lose.
when did you lose your purse ?" in
quired the officer.
81 don't know" was the reply. 'but l
had it in my hand when | came here" and
Mrs. d. J. Bassett-for that was the lady's
name-.urned to 90 away with troubled
look on her face.
She had not taken many steps before
dark.haired, bright little lady tapped her
on the shoulder. Excuse me-" she said,
but are you the lady that is looking for
her rurse?"
Eyes. oh, yes!" was the eager response,
and outstretched hands eagerly grasped
the purse 50 willingly surrendered
"Humphr exclaimed the officer, who
had been silent onlnoker of the scene,
"the chances were 100 to against her get
ting it again. | do wtsh," he added. that
women would carry their purses in their
pockets or anywhere else but where they
do-in their hands"
While Mrs. Bassett was made happy by
recovering her money, some other lady
was made just as unhappy as she had been.
Close TO the Haght- street entrance to the
park Mrs. Cham bers of Bush street. while
strolIing along, espied purse lying on
the grass. She also acted the part OF the
good Samaritan, but not being able to re-
turn it to the owner she turned it over TO
the police. from whom the owner may re-
cover it upon proving ownership.
arly tfraa ta1
narily large crowd of people yesterday, the
mild, warm weather and the good musical
programme being no slight aid in this
direction. There was counter attraction
to the band, however A fairly we'll
dressed individual, seated in front OF the
music-stand, was so carried away with the
volume Of sweet sound, or, mayhap. the
inordinate amount of tangle-foot whisky
that he had mbbed, that he INDUCED in
wild geSticulations. accompanied with
running commentary on the musical per-
formances. couched in choice Italian.
When interviewed by police officer he
sought to impress upon the thrOng who
crowded around that his name was Jean
Baptiste BaiZone, and that he was scholar
and gentleman. By force OF circum-
stances, alas, he was compelled to work for
support in a bakery at the junction of
Francisco and Dupont streets. This
gentleman Of foreign extraction pleaded in
extenuation of any Otfense he might I'M
wittinglA have committed, that the to-
bacco he had been using In his cigarettes
had not agreed with him.
No sooner had this individual been dis
posed of than another disturbed the pro-
gramme. He was evidently follower of
the socialistic or anarchistlc school OF
thinkers, for a negligee costume was enc
ivened by the addition of a flaming scar
let neckerchief, that made one uncOmfOrt-
anly warm to look at it.
He made his appearance in the park
early in the day with panel pain ting
under his arm, and was then warned 10
vacate the park in consequence OF Outrag-
ing the properties by creating disturb
ance. In the afternoon he reappeared dur
ing the concert. and after disporting HIM
self for the edificatlOn solely OF the small
boy, was placed under arrest. He pro-
tested.
81 am an artist" he said, with very
decided French accent. INV name is Ed
win Marion Rnaldo. and 1 do nothing. I
come to get the-wnat you eall?-inspira-
ton from the muslQue."
you are not an American, are yOu?'
some one chaffingly asked.
He drew himself up and his Boulanger
whskers bristled as he replied:
"Mon Deu! oui--yes. / am a citizen of
this repubique since 1881"
You see this picture" he continued
ut is st. Joseph. painted by Murillo,
brother artist. 300 years ago. I have rep
do you call ii, lie caraillep l painted a
fair picture of Gathering the Cotton
which Mrs. Croker did buy. do nothing
to be arrest"
The park police thought dfferen tly. so
they arrested him and Baizone and locke ed
them up for disturbing the peace.

ronized yesterday. The driveways were
perhaps not quite so thronged as usual,
but there was fair showing and. strange
to relate, not one runaway team was re-
ported during the afternoon.
j. f. MrG0verD. who resides at South
Park, was in sad trouble. The very pride
of his life are his twin boys. Youngsters
of years, their mother delights TO add to
mystiication of people who cannot tell
"tolher from which" by dressing them
exactly alike.
Dressed each in little gray suit, with
white befrilled waist and white straw hat.
the boys looked each the very counterpart
of the other. While mingling with the
crowd one of the young hopefulS mys-
teriously disappeared.
The father and mother looked around.
The boy was not to be seen. Grabbing the
one remaining the father turned up his
face. Are you johnny" he asked.
mo. I'm Tommy" whlmpernRiy an
swered the boy. and the parents. satisfied
on the one point, began search for Tom
my's missing duplicate.
The hunt was unsuccessful, but the park
is SO we'll patroled that the lost twin was
finally recovered and taken to his alarmed
parents. 1t Is bad enough to lose a child,
but to break the set makes it additionally
hard.
