The restless man of limited means
shouldn't long to get on the steam cars
and go almost anywhere just for change
until he has exhausted all the possibilities
OF riding clear to the end of the route on
each one of the electric car lines.
Seven to one that you haven't tried the
whole of the Admiral street line yet unless

"Here's something you can put in your
observations" said man to the Observer
last night "a couple we're married to-
night. The girl 10 a milliner, and she
thinks . heap OF the groom. The groom
works In market and gets eight dollars
week. The brides home and business,
and all her personal property, are in a
single room, where she carries on her busi-
ness. l don't know whether the groom
had any home or not before he was mar

ried pair have begun life In the millinery
shop. The happy couple were married at
the house OF a minister who has nine or
the wedding guest list, and acted as wit
nesses. The bride and groom took q
trolley car and made q tour down town to
the Gaiety Opera House, and after the per-
formance proceeded 10 their home in the
millinery parlors."
The person who gave me the foregoing
little sketch from real life felt called upon
to add: 81 don't know as that story will
be Of any use to you, because, you see, it's
true"
The Observer declines to understand
what the application OF that remark is
supposed to be.
Col. Hunter G. White, chairman OF the
Republican State Central Committee, de-
clares that the cigars he smokes are taken
out OF the same box that is passed around
among visitors at headquarters.
A friend Of the Observer says that his
breakfast is spoiled every morning
because all through it he is won
dering il he will catch his down
town trolley car. Five mornings
out OF six, he AYERS, he either has TO run
for it or just barely misses II. lie thinks
the railroad company ought TO run an
other car just behind every car to accom-
who always just miss their car.
The Observer has French clock on his
msntel piece. The clock has been rum
ming too slow and the Observer wanted
to make 1t go iaster. There is
little steel pin, or post, or whatever
theyc call 1t, projecting at the top OF the
clock and with a small key you turn this
and it regulates the clock, slow or fast.
The key was originally tied to tag on
which was printed directions telling
which way to turn the post to make the
clock run respectively slower or
faster. But that was many,
many years ago. The children
playing with the key had long since
chewed of the tag. SO the Observer asked
a clock man about it, and the clock man
told him that to turn to the right always
makes the clock go faster, and TO the left,
slower. "You can always remember the
rule" added the clock man, "because if
you want 10 set the hands of q clock ahead
you push them to the right, and if
behind you push them to the
left. The regulator works the same way
ahead, or fast, to the right; behind, or
slow, to the left. That's all there is to it,"
The Observer thought that good way
to remember whichever is what.
Prof. Charles Lovenberg, leader OF the
Gaiety Opera House Orchestra, is a terrific
worker as we'll as an artist. He is credited
with supervising rehearsals all forenoon. !.
leading at matinees all afternoon, playing
again all evening, and by the end OF the
week he has composed two new operettas.
Did you know that Beacon avenue is as
high up as College Hill top? didn't know
it, but Q man who says it's SO tells me It's
pretty nearly.
Colonel Henry b. Winship puts op
clean collar twice aday-except when he's
