Just
One Girl

He was dressing for dinner, and the
strains of that good old Methodist hymn,
Just One Girl" were running through
his head, and he hummed it, and finally
sung to himself: Just one girl, just
one girl, there may be others
Hello, Harry old boy. where did
you come from? Well, say, bpt I'm
glad to see you" And Harry, slowly
drawing off his gloves. remarked, Say,
do you know it's mighty lucky for you
that there's JUST ONE GIRL? If you
had from two to six at this time of the
year you'd go broke. Why don't you do
as 1 do every year? 1 always find an
excuse for a row about December, and
1t lasts till along in January, and I'm not
bothered with Christmas presents, and
don't have to go broke three months,
just to get pair of impossible suspect
ders with big tin buckles, or some freak
neckties that come from some bargain
counter in some dry goods store. Oh,
no, buy my own suspenders and ties
and gloves, and I buy 'em at Silver
woods too. I don't go and pay 75c and
Woo for ties when l can buy the same
things for SOC at Silverwood's. Not me.
If l had girl with sense enough to go
to Silverwood's and buy me some of
those swell Ascots, 1 wouldn't mind
that. She would show she was sensible
by going to reliable store where they
keep up-to-date goods"

THE OWL A SUCCESS
Arrives on Time to the Second-Rail-
way Notes and Personals

Superintendent j. A. Muir of the South
ern Pacific received the congratulations OF
the Southern Pacific officials yesterday on
the success of the first trip of the Owl
limited train from San Francisco to this
city. The train came in at 7:45 yesterday
morning on time to second, and brought
twenty-five delighted passengers. These
were able, if they so wished, to spend the
day in attending to their business here, and
could have left last night on the same train,
getting to their homes at this morning.
The regular equipment for the train was
not ready on Sunday, SO two Pullmans and
baggage car were used. BY todny, it is
thought, the cars of vestibue6 pattern and
the composite car and diner will be ready.
The train which left at 7 last night was
well filled, the indication being that the
service will be as popular as it is perfect and
well managed. G.'F. Richardson, the mas-
ter of transportation for the Southern Pa
cifc at Oakland, came down and went back
on the train last night, keeping an eye out
for all the details Of time and running.

storm I'm the Turn verein wholly
Abated.

Despite the fact that there was some
talk of several of the young ladies con-
nected with the first ladies' class OF the
G~reenville Turn Verein resigning because
the officers wanted them to appear in
public in bloomers: it is thought that
those who refused to go on in the bloom
or costume will go back to the class at
the solicitation of the others who took
part in the drill. 1t will be remembered
that three of the young ladies of the
Greenville urn Verein refused to par
ticipate in the wand drill because they
were requested to go on in a bloomer
costume, consisting of a loose blouse.
ibloomers reaching to the knees and low
soft shoes. The committee which was in
charge of the .gymnastic exhibition which
was given a week ago. thought that the
bloomer costume if worn by the young
ladies would give them more freedom in
their movements. Others who are not in
terested in the verein were of the opinion
that the committee wanted the young
aides to appear in that costume because
it would be a good drawing card.
When the matter was brought up for
consideration three of the member re-
fused point blank to take part and said
that sooner than do so they would re-
sign. As only tWeiVe were .ueeueu. LOT
the drill and the class numbers fully
twenty-five this obstacle was soon over
come The performance was finally given
with much success. the wand drill in
which the young ladies appeared in their
novel costumes being perhaps the best
number on the programme. Since then
the girls have expressed themselves as
perfectly satisfied will the costumes and
they all say that if the occasion requires
it they will appear in the same costume
again.
All the talk about the class being dis
rupted has vanished and things are rum
ming along very smoothly.

employed as stone cutters on the Erie
Railroad on the work CT elevating the
tracks. Striker went at the same work
yesterday morning. The two Poles re-
fused to work with him and ordered him
away as he does not belong to the stone
cutters union.
They went to the boss and demanded
that Striker be discharged, as if they
worked with him they would be fined s25
apiece by the union. The boss refused to
discharge Striker and the others
threatened him. He had them arrested.
Police Justice Nevin thin morning read
the two union men a sound lecture. He
said he believed in unions to a certain
extent, but that he did not believe that
any man had a right to deprive any other
man of his livelihood. Striker was a resi-

rather that he had the job. The outsiders
could get another job if they were not
satisfied. They had no right to interfere
with Striker. Justice Nevin discharged
the prisoners with a warning.
