On his coat were the letters "J.W., in

by those wno occupied seats at the several
dining tables.
Two children, who were accompanied by
their mother, entired the restaurant about
the time the Kansas couple occupied the
space in front of the clock, and took seats
at a table. Coffee and rolls were served,
and when the waiter presented check the
woman in turn presented one.

But it's not good for what you were fur
nished here"

"Everything goes in rush, remarked
the proprietor, and the incident was de-
clared closed.
Her Purse Was Found.
Seated at a nearby table was a woman
who had ordered a $50 breakfast and then
refused to eat it because she had lost her
pocket book
1T will be all right she was told, but
as her money was gone she said, she would
incur no debts
Il will telegraph for money first" she
stated, land then I'll return"
Fortunately for the woman. her purse
was found in the building, and then she
returned to the table and enjoyed her
breakfast.
A 4O0-pound piece of colored humanity
emerged from the depot with the front of
his coat plastered with badges. Taking a
position in the doorway, he stood there ap-
parently having charge of everybody in
sight.
Say, colonel" remarked a policeman,
you'll have to move along a peg"
Slowly the heavyweight moved down
step.
That's not far enough" a policeman
told him. You take up room enough for
four men, and you can't remain under this
shed"
Out in the rain he had to go.
A coored man who had a pillow tied to
his valise caused some amusement when
he went out in the pouring rain. His pill
low was soon soaked, but the man enjoyed
the sights of the city, just the same.
The police and detectives on duty at the
stations were kept busy all day assisting
the members of the public comfort COM
