How He Got His Dinner.

How He Got His Dinner.

the big workman, "I'm sure Of just as
fine dinner for Thanksgiving as the
market affords. >
'Invited to his house?"
"No, of course not. He has too much
sense to set me down to a table with a
lot of the upper crust. I'd feel like
crawling under the board and could no

house, and we never get it all closed
out much before Christmas.
"Does he treat all his men that way?''

daughter, the prettiest woman in the
state, and with spirit enough to lead an

her. Grinder fairly kicked the roof off
the house and told me to do the same
with the young boss if / ever caught
him on the premises. About that time l

Grinders maid, and she told me mighty
plain that if took sides with old Grind
er against his daughter I'd have to go
away from home to do my courting. 1t
was a warm Thanksgiving day when
the young folks planned to elope. The
mistress wanted me to drive them, but
/ told her in a meaning way like that
better drive the old gentleman when he
took up the chase. She saw the point
and told me not to hurt him serious.

FLOWERS AND LEAVES.
Some Appropriate Decorations For
Thnnksgiving Day.

Some Appropriate decorations For
Thanksgiving Day.
The woman who converts her house
into sort of green bower. with avenues
of palms and the like, may be creating
pretty effect, but she is not arranging
an appropriate decoration for Thanks
giving Thanksgiving is an American
festival, and exotics are out of place If
one desires to preserve the American
spirit in her decorations. Those hardy
flowers which might grow out Of doors
in American yards are the best suited to
Thanksgiving ornamentation, and of
these the chrysanthemum is naturally
first.
That obliging flower comes in almost
every possible shade now and can be
made to harmonize with any scheme of
color decoration. 1t is as white as
snowdrop; it is tawny yellow and pale
yellow; it is reddish brown and clear
red; it is pink; it is soft lilac. Each Of
these colors comes in numberless sorts
of blossoms-big ones, with tightly
curled leaves and little ones, with strag-
Cling, ragged leaves. No woman can
despair OF beautiful results who uses
plenty of chrysanthemums
A glass bowl full of the starry white
blossoms set on table of polished ma
hogany or deep red cherry is most effect
i've. A bowl of dark red ones glowing
in fine contrast to the polished oak of a
library table is beautiful Mantels on

are lovely if blossoms of one color are
chosen The deep yellow ones with
edges darkening to brown are particu-
larly good for this massed style of deco
ration.
One woman, who appreciates the value
of oheesecloth, has covered the wall
above her fireplace and mantelshelf
rather fully, On the center of the man
tel itself she has arranged to have
low, big bowl Of white chrysanthemums,
while old fashioned glass candelabra at
each end will add to the glittering.
| bright effect.
Smilax is not to be despised in deco
ration. Chandeliers and window frames
may be wreathed with it, mantel mir
rors half hidden beneath a Iatticework
of it, and streamers of it tsuspended from
available picture frames. Of course the
cool, feathery green is not particularly
appropriate for Thanksgiving decora-
| tion, but it serves as a delightful back
ground for warmer, more glowing floral
effects
Besides chrysanthemums, which by
their size and profusion at this season
of the year lend themselves particular
| ly to Thanksgiving decoration, there are
baradia, with it's coral, pink and red
blossoms, roses of all descriptions, vio-
let's and the like. The woods still have
trailing vines of red and bronze pine
boughs and cones, brilliant leaves and
dusky berries. The clever woman makes
use of these profusely in decorating her
house at Thanksgiving, and they seem
particularly appropriate. New York

That part of the deposition made by
Mr.. Weinstock that the telegram re-
ceived from Won Arnold was from San
Francisco was taken up and Attorney
Metson again commenced questioning
the witness concerning it.
Attorney Johnson contended that the
witness had not deposed that the tele-
gram was received from San Francisco,
but that the deposition set forth that
the Bee had said so.
Attorney Metson offered certain por-
tons of the deposition made by the
prosecuting witness in the formal libel
suit in evidence.
Attorney Johnson objected on the
ground that certain sections should not
be put in 10 the exclusion of others.
The court held that in case the ma
teriality of the sections could be shown
they should be admitted and upon a
motion of Attorney Johnson that the
entire document be admitted because
certain sections had been SO admit ed
the court reserved its ruling. Mr..
Weinstock was excused.
c. B. BROWN.
c. B. Brown, reporter for the
Bee was the next witness called by
the prosecution, and Attorney Bruner
took up the examination. He testified
that he knew John We'll and H. Vein
stock, and that on the afternoon of
February 2S 1897, he had been de-
tailed to interview Mr.. Weinstock.
The witnes said at that time he did
not know Carl Won Arnold, and had
never heard of him until Mr.. McClatchy
mentioned his name when he detailed
him on the case
To question as to whether the wit
ness had at that time ever seen Won
Arnold's handwriting. Mr.. Johnson OBJ
jected, contending that the case was
not brought to determine the veracity
of either Brown or Weinstock.
WARM, WARM WORDS.
Attorney Bruner contended that the
matter had been brought out in ques-
tioning Mr.. Weinstock, who had said
that Brown had told him he had seen
Won Arnold's handwriting, and be-
lieved that the letter had not been writ
ten by him. The defense would prove
Attorney Bruner said, that the state
ment vas absolutely false.
Attorney Johnson said that any man
who would state that the last witness
on the stand CMr. Weinstock) was
false, was false himself, and that he
would not believe him under oath. The
reputation of the prosecuting witness,
he said, was too we'll established in the
community to be asailed by such impu-
tations.
Appealing to the court, Mr. Johnson
said the question for the jury to de-
eide was not whether Mr.. Weinstock or
Mr.. Brown was the more truthful man,
but whether the publication In the
Bee" was libelous The defense. ne
said, had placed Mr.. Weinstock on the
stand, and he, being their witness,
ought to be protected.
Attorney Bruner replied to Johnson,
contending that the defense had a per-
feet right TO show, if possible, whether
or not the statements made by Mr.
Weinstock on the stand were true, and
that 1t had perfectly legal right 20
show by evidence that such was the
case. During Attorney Burners argu-
ment an adjournment was taken until

PROMISED SHAKE UP.
National Guardsmen Wondering
What Dickinson Will Do.

The recent appointment of John II.
Dickinson as Major General of the
National Guard is causing all manner
OF speculation in military and even in
civic circles Referring to some of the
forecasts of events that are looked for,
San Francisco paper of last even
ing says:
Those familiar with General Dickin-
sons plans say his method of shaking
up the guard will take such form as I'M
expected inspections. and among other
things that are mentioned as his proba-
BILE ideas is the calling out of the Ma
tional Guard by telegram from time to
time with such prior secret arrange
ments for inspection as will give the
true condition of the affairs in the mil
tia.
These methods will furnish the mate
rial for report TO the Governor at
the next meeting of the Legislature
that, those in the Generals confidence
say. will square matters through the
last four or five years.
THAT General Dickinson intends to
shake UP the dry bones of the regiments
around the Bay is agreed by all those
who are in his confidence If. Incl
dentally, he takes a whack at Colonel
Park Henshaw, State Inspector of Rifle
Practice, for the fact that target prac-
tice has gone to the smithereens, no
great surprise will be expressed, as
Henshaw was President of the Court of
Inquiry that roasted Dickinson for his
conduct of the Second Brigade move
ments at Sacramento in July, 1894.
Lively times are looked for too. in
the First Infantry of this city, of one
battalion of which, the Nationals,
Major Charles L. Tilden is in COM
mand. Tilden was a member of the
Court of Inquiry, and is said to have
written the report. AT any rate, there
has always been a feeling of bitterness
between the Nationals and the rest of
the regiment, and, as it happens, when
Dickinson was in the regiment he was
not a member of that select band and
was antagonized by them at many
stages of his steps upward in rank
So that there will be a hot time ia
assumed to be a certainty by all those
interested in National Guard affairs -
