I'll PUNK the money in the bank;
If you don't mind. I'd rather.
The old man in deep faint sank,
The blow almost killed father.
The Knights of Labor have been
keeping mum and saving wood, but
they were growing all the time. Last
night the new officers were installed
and afterwards there was social
meeting at which an elegant lunch was
served and many members showed
their post prs udial abilities with good
effect. The meeting was one OF gener-
al good feeling and did much to cement
a closer friendship among the brothers
ings of similar character follow.
A bout l35 names now appear on the
roster of the order.
While the police are ''nosing"
around "Smith's Creamery" las the
Times puts it, for hop joints it would
be just as well for them to look around
lust below the Times office and see if
there is not some dives located there.
If the Times, "Around Town" man
really roamed around town locking for
news he might be able to locate q
few dives nea: err the Times office than

tree it looks like the Times has In
specially for Smith, even to greater
extent than it has it in for the Chinese
hop joints. Smith may have his fanlts,
all men have, but all the years that
the Times has spent in trying to down
him have come TO naught. When the
Times efforts, with democratic ad-
ministration nearly four years ago sue
ceeded in getting j. A. Smith removed
from the postOftice, Smith at that time
warned the Times outfit that he would
make it exceedingly warm from them
in the newspaper line. He has made
his warning good. 1t is true that
a. Smith is president and general
manager of the HERALD Publishing
company, but as to his work on this
paper it is very little except to shape
its policy and see that his ideas are
carried out, but this fact is the cause
of the Times always referring to the
"opium joint next to Smiths Cream
ery.' J. A. Smith does not own the
building in which his creamery is
situated nor has he any control over
any other part of the house.
81 don't think it is right" said pro-
minent real estate man to

For several days past there has been
a couple of bum operators hanging
around town. "pauhandling' their way
through the world. The other night
Doc Yaudell was walking along on San
Anton o street when suddenly he was
accosted by one of the above mentioned
twain. The fellow talked to Doc q
minute and then asked him his bust
ness Doc ans ered that he was a tin
horn gambler. That's a good bust
ness" said the B. O. I'm a train
dispatcher and my partner Skinny
over there does a trick in the G. H.
office. But say. partner, can't you set
up the beer" "Well," said Doc, "You
see I'm short on cash just now. I'm
shy dime for three drinks and only
have "a nickel for d beer for myself. {"
''Well, that's G-n frosty" said the
B. o. as Yandeu walked away.
A lot of little children were playing
the game called "Thimble" in the
park last night, and each one passed
around and then asked the question:
Whose got the thin ble?' One little
fellow was awful anxious to get the
thimble so he could ask the question.
At last bis chance came. He passed
down the crowd of kneeling children
and then stood up and asked: Whose
got the $4,000 donated by the state to
the flood sufferers?''
Officer Franco got some experience
last night. JaciutO Armenia, the dri-

ing around at lively rate when o.
