HUMOR ON
THE FERRY
An Oakland Naiden's Sorry Plight
and How it Game
About.

HA T was on the hal:-past 6 evening boat
ta to Oakland that it happened.
EI Now, this particular boat ca cries
very gloomy and misanthropic load of hu-
manity. Indeed, not even the early morn
ing boats coming this way, laden with
people who have been forced to rise In the
chill gray dawn, carry so grim and unso-
ciable lot of passengers as are seen on
this special trip through the dusky shad-
ows of approaching night to the regions
across the bay.
A few of the morning travellers are, it is
true, San Franciscans who went over to
see their sweethearts-it is q narrowing
fact that some San Franciscans do have
sweethearts on the other side of the bay
and got left.
There are also among them some mis-
guided beings who have been lured from
the peaceful and pious precincts of our
City 10 spend their nights in unholy rev.
elry amid the giittering dens of vice and
lniquity which we have been told on good
authority masquerade under the innocent
name of clubs in Alameda County. and
have, consequently, massive and sching
heads for baggage.
The majority, however, are workmen
who have rested we'll, breakfasted com
fortably, have appetizing lunches in their
neat little baskets and are facing the pros-
pect OF remunerative days work, There
fore, though sleepilv silent. they are for
the most part cheerful, hopeful. and. when
occasion calls for communication amono
them, decently civil in look and sneech
and manner.
Not so with the unfortunates mock
lngly known as 1.-The happy sixers -
They are mostly business men who have
been detained at the Office over time nv
business or lack of business: clerks who
have been ''put upon in the matter OF
extra work; women who have been so
ABSORBED IN the pursuit of bargains
tnat they nave paid no heed to the flight
OF tlme until the store doors have been
| gently but firmly closed behind them
ana persons who have accom- plished the
unsatisfactory feat of ''iust missing" the G
o'clo ock boat
! This being the case everybody is mora
or less discouraged, and nearly every on e
IS cross-decidedly so-for they are all
| doomed to be late 70 dinner and to have
that meal served up 10 them in frag-
mentary, congealed or desiccated state,
NO artless children enliven this passage
oy lnduiging In games of tag through the
| saloon, tumbling recklessly over Gus
pidors and the legs of their inoffensiye
and uncomplaining fellow passengers.
No dulcet strains of harmony are there to
soothe the savage breasts OF the belated
ones. for the sleek musicians have shut nm
| shop for the day and are happily feasting .
on macaroni and oil and sour wine and
other dainties in the bosoms of their re-
| spective families.
