Two Big
Friends

the whiskers like the prov OF man-o war
from the sea spray, stood buying some
tickets for Sacramento. By his side was
handsome lady, when a carriage drove up
and another man came rushing in with out
stretched hand The second man had
soft. wide-brimmed hat his hair looked as
| if it was struggling against heavy heau
wind and his alert face and MASSIVE neck
rose from the folds of an 'old-fashioned
turned down collar. He also was accompa-
MED by very handsome lady, robed IN a
gown that appeared to have just come from
a Partisan atelier. The incoming man
rushed up to the man at the counter, say
ing: 'My dear Steve; how are you, ola
MANI" And the man with the chm ike
warship's prov, turned and SAID, Henry
old fellow; glad to see you, and congratu-
late you, my boy" Then the handsome
lady with the Paris gown kissed the other
handsome lady, and the families OF Gage and
White were as happy together as II they
had all been Republicans or Democrats ana
there had been no election and no dlsap-
pointment or struggle between what friend
ship wished and what principle insisted
upon. 1t was pretty little incident, and
one which was instructive as well as pleas
ing.

One of the interesting things of recent oc-
currence at the Republican county commit
tee headquarters at
]. Mary AIMS the Hollenbeck was
REALIZATION the explanation by D.
Marion Brooks on
Thursday evening of the manner in which
he defeated Mr.. Barlow. 1t was evident to
any auditor that Mr. Waters and the work
OF the congressional committee had
had very little to do with the outcome, be-
yond aiding the efforts of j. Marion. In
view OF those letters and that lawsuit the
JOY OF Mr.. Brooks is not hard to understand
1t is said MIR. Brooks is going up to Ventura
soon to discover another embryo statesman
and put him into training for the next cam
paign Brooks is not easily discouraged by
the failure of one experiment.
eff you wish to do service for any appli-
cants for appointments from Governor
elect Gage" said one
Timely of the closest friends
Counsel of the new executive
to me yesterday,
write them to leave him alone. l know
that Gage will turn down hard anyone who
bothers him with applications before he
goes to Sacramento. He will undoubtedly
send word to some of those he has had in
mind to find out if they will take what he
wants them to have, but he has as good as
said that any undue pressure brought to
bear ON him before he gets ready to con-
slider claims will only serve to injure the
applicants chances. l think there will be
some surprises among the selections that
Gage will make, for while he is,a partisan
and the Republicans will go in wherever
there is a vacancy, he has some very high
ideas as to the class of men to be connected
with his administration and he will exer-
else great care and will be very severe in
his requirements from appointees."

says, so that any little episode that might
otherwise cause distressing amount of talk
is readily patched up. The doctors good Of
fees are credited with the pacific arrange
ment of one of the most startling incidents
in the swell world recently, so that all par
ties concerned have, it is said, agreed to let
bygones be bygones.
This is the season when the enterprisng
halter has blank orders printed for S. hats
and sends them to
Boom members of the fu-
in Hats sion party whom he
suspects of having
bet as they voted. There are several such
little affairs that have been received by
members of the staff of this paper, and they
will be properly used. The only people
wearing old hats after this week will be the
ones who were caught out in the recent
frost.
Two Of the pluckiest betters of the cam
paign were newspaper man and Walter
Parker, both of whom
Republican wagered good gold
Rumblings money that San
Fra would ,yo
Gage when there was hardly single pointer
to that effect. Parker pulled down
hun on that event. By the way, it is re-
ported that all is not as harmonious in the
Republican state committee in this city.
That there are some differences and bicker-
ings seems sure though what it all amounts
TO no one is inclined to say. 1t would seem
that there is some foundation though for all
of the gossip to the effect that there arc
several riffs in the lutes which are now
sounding Gage peaens from the lips of COM
mitteemen. Can it be thatthe lust for ap-
pointments has alreadykeized those amiable
gentlemen? THE GOSSIPER.

some people suit me too WELL"
