Ifumor.

Everybody is familiar with the sort of
person whose humor is iii regulated who
laughs heartily ut your joke, but at tho
wrong place; who gives you the answer to
a conundrum to crack instead Of the CO.
nundrum itself, and who is always putting
she cart before the horse in her witticisms,
after n fashion rs exasperating as IL Is
fatal. According to Tammas Haggart,
humor is Of "twa sorts. One sort is the
making of n joke, tho other the seeing"
Of it. "a body can't be expeckit bath
TO max joke and to see It, That wad be
doin twa folks wark." This philosophy
not only accounts for, but excuses, those
many intollccts whose bumor is somehow
not subject to average rules and regula-
tions They're not going TO have the
Brooklyn bridge any more" observed a
woman of this species not long since. An
tiquc rs was tho joke that she was trying
20 spring upon her companion he failed -
recognize IL in SO mutilstcd shape.
"Why notY" he therefore asked. And
when the woman, with much gusto, re.
piled, because it's long enough" she
wondered why he didn't laugh. New

places. If the Street Committee will only
make tests of every block of pavement we
have laid | will be thoroughly satisfied.
1--WE bought in good faith the bituminous
rock put down on San Carlos avenue in
1892. When we put it down we believed it
to be the best in the market. For the con-
crete foundation we used what is known as
red rock. Time has proved both to be poor
materials but we did not know it then.
The winter after we laid the pavement we
learned that the bituminouS rock was not
good, and we quit using that quality. 1t
came from the San Luis Obispo mines.
We have used the Santa Cruz mine rock
since, though we have to pay 81 25 more
ton for it. 1t costs us between 5000 and
$500 more to pave a block now than it did,
but we use the Santa Cruz rock for the bet
terment OF the bituminous rock industry
and to keep the name OF our firm high.
We also quit using red rock in our con-
crete and use none but the blue or gray
rock The specifications were changed by
the last Board of Supervisors. as the red
rock will not stand the RATHER test, which
has also been adopted by Oakland, Ala
media and other places where there are
good streets.
"Elwood street is only private alley and
not a public thoroughfare, and while |
will wager that the average depth of the
bituminous rock will come up to the stan
dard of two and a half inches there was no
necessity of conforming with the regular
CITY specifications. Elwood street is but
walk. No team can go through it. In
spector Dobbie went there to-day and cut
place where the bitumen was three and
half inches thick and took it to Superin-
tendent Ashworth."

CAPTAIN HILL A VICTOR.
Upon the Whole the Methodical Con-
vivialist Gains His
Point

Upon the whole, Captain John T.
Hill, the convivial "kicker'' on prin-
ciple against being overcharged for
little suppers and incidentals at Tor
toni's, has come out victorious Judge
Hunt yesterday rendered decision
in his case cutting down the bill against
him materially.
Captain Hill entered the legal lists as
gallant knight fitting against extortion.
He was armed with a wonderful diary, in
which he claimed he inscribed the min
utie of his carousals, SO that he could tell
on any morning where he had been and
what he had spent on the previous evening
or period of evenings. He was alleged to
classify 'bats" from ''toots" and 'toots"
from ''razzle- dazZles," and although their
definition did not appear in court, it was
apparent that the gallant captain con sid
cred that his journal was irwin chile as
weapon against a restaurateur's common
place books.
The court in its written opinion said:
The amount claimed herein is $3.50. Under
the objections made by the defendant the vari-
Gus items of drinks" charged were stricken
1913, at 25 cents, amounting to $48 25. Allow
ing of this the sum OF So as provided by the
statute, the remainder, $43 25, must be re-
jected The last item of $40 for music not hav-
ing been paid, is also rejected.
Finally, after reviewing the evidence,
the court decided:
Deduct the $50 item for music not paid
amount of drafts in question, which drafts
are for $50, for $780, for $50 and 500.
These deductions aggregate 1888 %, which
deducted from the $500 claimed, leaves'a re
mainder of $416 70, for which amount, with
interest thereon, judgment in favor of plain
tiff and against defendant is ordered.
