SAN Francisco, April 6-Bookmaker
Martin Brady, better known as the
"ColoneP'-a title he justly earned in
recognition OF his ability to marshal his
irlends in line at the Del Monte With
military precision-takes delight in the
joshing of his friends, but last Sunday
the tables were turned for once. About
10 in the morning of that day a messen-
ger called at his rooms with the infor-
nation that he WAS wanted Immediately
at his headquarters. Now the colonel's
usual time to rise is anywhere between
3 and in the afternoon, but on this
occasion he broke the record by show.

ten and inquiring the reason of the mes
senger's visit. He was informed that
Martin AQuirre and Johnny Carson had
called and left word for him to come to
the hotel.
Taking a few extra bracers in antici-

Scanning the register, the clerk replied
that no one of either name was a guest.
Brady insisted that there must be
mistake, and the clerk, to make sure,
ran his fore6nger up and down the list
of names, but the result was the same.
The colonel looked surprised and started

stopped suddenly. A bright idea
seemed to strike him and his knees
gave a few extra knocks against
each other. Turning back to the
Office he accosted the clerk with broad
smile, saying, "Well, old man, guess
I've got you now It's Agwyrie and Oar
son | want to see." For answer he re-
ceived the freezing information that no
"A2wyrie" was at the hotel, and Carson
would probably be found in Nevada.
Brady was crestfallen but still hopeful;
he visited respectively the Grand. Lick.
Occidental and Baldwin, but still no
trace of his friends. AS he wandered
back to Coley's, footsore and weary, be
muttered to himself: 81 wonder what
those fellows are under cover for" He
looked so disconsolate when he got back
that the boys took pity ON him and told
him it was only an April fool joke. The
colonel said nothing, but silently left
the place and went back to bed, where
he has been ever since. trying to regain
his broken spirits.

ing the lapel of his coat they were very
much surprised. Upon investigation it
was found that Billy had not become a
disciple of General Booth, but was only
the victim of joke. It seems that be-
coming exhausted with his long ride
from Los Angeles. he had fallen asleep,
and while in this state soma of his
friends su bstituted the Salvation badge
for the one he had earned at the last
election, after which they walked him
about town for few hours.

intimaIed that there would be a radical
changs, and to show that they meant
what they say, make the bold assertion
