 1 Ben Steinberg experienced few thrilling moments Tuesday evening l His team ran away and mixed things. l MT. Steinberg was standing in E. C. ! Washington's blacksmith shop, when 1 he heard a noise among some horses tied outside He rushed to the door, 1 excIafming. My stars. that's my l team =" The team had broken the hitching pest and were off up the avenue. The was nothing to stop l them but a telephone pole, and it fail- 1 cd. The pole was broken down and the team was 1oosed from the wagon. The telephone pole has since been used for cooking Mexican meals: one horse was caught and the other found at home: the harness was found in several places. The wagon was un- injured. except for a broken tongue.
 The raisin company has twenty women and girls working at the pack ing house at Glendale sorting raisins The workers are gathered around tables that greatly resemble .'crap' tables. The raisfns are dumped into these tables and the women and girls then spread them. handful at time 7E table and pick out the dark raisins The good raisins are then dropped through a hole in each end of the table into fifty-pound boxes. Covers are put on the boxes and the raisins are ready to ship. C. N. Tharsing waxes eloquent in describing the work of the women. He said they discount ed the men in such work. It seemed the longer the men worked in the grape business the more stupid they got. but with the women it was just the reverse. and he looked off wist- fully toward Glendale when he said it. Mir Thrasing has never said whether he was married or not.

Thars- ing get up one night and walk a quar- ter of mile to the telephone in or der that he might tell him how the rats were living on his olive oil, waicl they managed to secure by putting a curve in their tails and then dropping them into the cans. The ether day Mir Jack hauled his peaches to the raisin plant, cut and sulphuriZed them in the company's sulphur house. The fruit is drying in the yards and is the center of attraction. MT Tharsing walks around the yards gesticu.ating in a peculiar manner and smiling Diandly tO himself This he will do until he reaches the spot where MT Jacks crop Of peaches look up at him and blush. The blush seems too much for Mir Tharsing fer he will double way over, ike enc in agony, then strengthening up. places his hands on his stomach for moment and then with Q thrust of hisright hand into the air ne will break into 9 roar. On his way around the plant if he chances to meet any one he will hail him with. Say. have you seen MT. Jacks reaches? There are just four trays and a grade cn each tray. He sent eight Mexican girls along to cut them up. That's Jacks peach crop. Hal Hal"
