HE WOULD NOT PAY.
A Queer Adventure on Car and Its Sur
prising Sequel.

A gentleman accompanied by his wire
and children boarded a Fourth avenue car
at Twenty third street recently The wife
and children found seats inside the car,
while the husband sought the front plat
form for smoke.
When the conductor called for the fares
the man gave him two dimes, at the same
time explaining, with jerk Of his thumb
over his shoulder, that he was paying for
the other three members Of his family
seated inside the car.
The conductor rang up the four fares
and then extended his hand with the re-
mark:
"You owe me another nickel"
what for?" laconically inquired the
man, blowing a Whit of smoke around
tho corner of the Car.
"You'll have to pay for that other child
in there. She's years old, isn't she?"
eyes, guess she's nearer 81
"Then why don't you pay her fare and
not keep me standing here all day?' ex-
claimed the conductor with considerable
emphasis.
because l don't want to- that's why"
replied the man on the platform with
grin.
"Then I'll have to call policeman
said the conductor spitefully, ringing the
bell to let off passenger.
CAN right, call a policeman-call ten II
you want to. There's plenty of Them
While this dialogue between the two was
going Oh the passengers shot many indig-
nant glances toward the front Of the car at
the man who was SO mean that he would
not pay his own child's car fare. The
wife's face turned as red as a poppy as she
heard an old lady in black exclaim:
THAT mans too stingy to live"
When the car reached Eighth street, it
came to stop, and policeman, who had
been signaled by the conductor came ON
board.
"Why don't you pay the child's fareS"
said the policeman, marching up to the
cool but apparently mean man.
Because she isn't my child" calmly
answered the man.
The policeman looked at the conductor
and the conductor looked at the man, ant
the passengers looked at each other. The
delightful silence which followed was in
terrupted by the little girl herself, who
called out to the conductor:

A PEAN TO THE PUMPKIN,

How dear to my heart
Is the old yellow pumpkin
When orchards are barren
OF stuffin for pies.
When peaches and apples
Have both been failure
And berries of no kind
Have greeted our eyes
How fondly we turn
To the fruit of the cornfieldi
Only fools these despise-
The old yellow pumpkin,
The mud covered pumpkin,
The big bellied pumpkin,
That make such good pies.

and summarily dealt with by the union in
the near future.
A report was made that caused great
indignation on the part of'the painters. 1t
seems that soon after the strike began a
painter named Oliver McGinty caused the
relief committee to believe that he was in
destitute circumstances. He was given So
to tide over his distress, Notwithstanding
that he had been in the union only very
short time. Those who are watching the
unfrien1ly shops reported that McGinty is
at work in the shop of an avowed enemy.
When reproached for his conduct, it was
reported that McGinty answered that he
would return the S. and that the union
could go to place where there is no need
for strikes. AT this stage of the strike such
ingratltude is likely to cause trouble for
the migrate.
A cheerful letter was read from the

A DESTITUTE STRIKER.
The Relief Committees Timely Aid
to Family That Had Been
EViCtad.

One of those pathetic incidents that al
ways attend a labor strike came to light
yesterday through the relief committee.
The case was reported in the morning
meeting by Mr.. Ames. 1t seems that a
union painter living on Bryant street, near
Eighth, went out when the union ordered
the strike. Like many of the laboring
class, he had not been able to save any
money ahead for the rainy day, and when
that day came he was unprepared.
Work as hard as he might the paint ter
had not been able to earn over So or 50 q
week, for even in good times he was un-
able to keep continuously at work. When
he went out with the others he had only a
few dollars, which did not go far in pro-
viding for wife and five young children.
The greatest frugality was practiced in
the household and the family managed to
exist.
Yesterday morning crisis came. The
landlord had on several occasions given
notice that the rent must be paid up OF
the premises vacated. 1t was then that
the man laia the case before the relief
committee, who promised to be with him
in an hour. When the man returned to
his home he found all of his household
effects had been moved out on the side.

The painter said that he would attend
to the moving of his furniture, but he

mlttee was called upon. The expressman
had kept the stove until the carriage was
paid. 1t took an hour to find the express
man in order to get back the stove. The
members of the striking painters family,
with tears in their eyes, thanked the com
mittee as the latter hastened away upon
other missions of relief.

it was a success financially as well as in an
artistic way.
Armory Hall was well filled, about 300
representatives of the leading Alameda
families being in the audience. Most of
those present were boys and girls. There
were tots of 4 or years who stood up in
the aisles or on the chairs and clapped
their tiny hands at every outbreak of ap-
plause, tiny chaps who tumbled head over
heels when they tried to walk rapidly over
the floor, which had recently been waxed
for dancing, and kindergarten delegates

istration Why It Should Not
Be Revoked,

The council of administration of the
Grand Army of the Republic, Department
of California and Nevada, met at the ST.
AIMS building last night to hear repre-
sentatives of Lyon Post, Oakland. on an
order to show cause why the charter of the
post should not be revoked. The pro-
ceedings grew out of the resolutions of the
post condemning the management of the
Veterans Home.
Department Commander Wilson pre-
sided at the session of the council. Other
members of the council present were !:
Comrades Sullivan. Masteller, Wiegand,
Jacobs Burgess, Cahen and Robinson.
Among the comrades present from Lyon
Post were: Judge Gibson, Mr.. Talcott.
Comrade Norton, the adiutant, and Major
Woodward.
All the proceedings relating to the adop-
tion of the resolutions were reviewed and
the position of the post explained.
The department commander announced
that the decision of the council would not
be made Immediately.
Several Grand Army men, who discussed
the matter on the outside while the coun.
Gil was IN executive session, expressed the
opinion that the charter of the post would
not be revoked.
