BEWARE OF FRESH OLIVES.

How n California Planter Amuses Himself
% At tho Expense of Innocent Travellers
Eastern visitors in California arc al
ways much interested in tho olive plan
tations which, in recent years. have be-
como q feature Of the most southerly
counties of the state. The lovers Of the
succulent fruit when picked and bot
tied for sale in tho east and north are
always anxious to taste the olive fresh
and ripe. '"hcre is popular impression
that it is sweet and delicious; but. like
umany other popular impressions, this is
"a delusion and snare.
A few miles south OF San Diego,
where the railroad makes junction
with small one track road leading into
Mexico, large planter has taken nd
vantage Of this delusion for his own
amusement On the arrival Of each train
fiom the north numerous travellers dis
mount 20 wait the starting Of the trnin
across the Mexican border For theiI
benefit the planter has nailed n box out
side of his fence Just across the way
from the railroad station which he keeps
filed with nice, ripe olives. A placard
invites victims in these words:

IS IT RIGHT

Yesterday morning your subscriber had occasion to go to the postoffice on business. He came down Eighteenth street from Third avenue and walked up the stone steps to the beautiful and massive doors on the west side of the building and attempted to enter. To his amszement, however, he found the doors securely fastened, and was compelled to go around to the Second avenue or south entrance of the building.
 We ask the question, '.Is it right?'
 From our understanding of Uncle Sam's intention in erecting this beautiful struct- ure it was for the purpose of placing therein the United States government offices and last, but by no means least, tn @ United States postofice, for the reception, delivery and transmission of mail and transaction of other business connected with the postoffice department.
 In erecting this structure the architect planned for four entrances, two for the ex- elusive use of the DO itoffice employees aud two for the accommodation of the public. One of these latter entrances Is facing on Second avenue, the other on Eighteenth street.
 This being true we ask, s'Is it right that one of these entrances should be closed against the public?'
 On the west side of the building is the
 
 mail matter of all kind, stamp, money order and registry departments. This be- ing true why should this door, which leads directly 10 these all important depai tments, be closed to the public? We again ask, :Is it right?,
 The city code has q clause which reads that all trains, including electric cars and dummy trains, must stop at crossings be- fore passing over them. There is a certain dummy line in this city, operating on the east side of Twentieth street, which runs neither east, south or west going beyond the city limits, and to the certain knowl- edge of the subscriber there has been more than one occasion when one of it's dummy trains failed 10 come to a stop at a certain electric car line crossing, one time, espe- cially, when an accident was narrowly averted.
 Is it right?
 There is section of the city code which defines tramp, tells all about what he doesn't do and what the recorder should do. There are numbers of such "Weary Williesn loitering around the residence portion of the city, who go to back doors and take stand, ofttimes frightening fe- males.
