It Is apparent to any one VINO looks
about the residence streets Of our large

cannot enjoy these homes during the

IT WAS A TEN.STRIKE,

A certain young Washington man
who went down TO one OF the Chesa-
peake beaches on Sunday last has been
wearing pensive they'ye-got- me
guessing expression ever since his re-
turn, which is explained by n couple
OF friends who accompanied him on the
trip as follows
The young Washngtonian, very
near sighted and a slow dresser and
undresser, emerged from the bathing
pavilion with his bathing toys on
about Is minutes after his friends had
already had a dip in the water They
met him at the bathing pavilion en-
trance as he emerged In his bathing
suit and they pointed TO a recumbent
figure lying face downward and almost
entirely covered with sand, down on
the beach,
There's Jack lying down there In
the sand. pretending that he's asleep"
they said to him, mentioning the name
OF a mutual friend. I'VE covered him
over with sand, but he kept right on
with the bluff that he was sleeping.
Go on down and wake him up"
The near-sighted Washingtonian
strolled down TO where the recumbent
figure was stretched out, face down
ward on the sand Then he stopped
over, raised his right palm. grlnned
with an "lt's-a-shame- o-do-it" ex-
preston, whirled hls arms around three
or four times to give IL momentum,
and brought his palm down kersmack
with all his might on the exposed por-
ton Of the recumbent figures anatomy.
Just two seconds later he was can
tering back TO the bathing pavilion at
a 200 Nat clip. The distlnctiyely fem
inine shrek that followed the swift de-
scent Of his palm enabled him to learn,
even before the passage Of the two sec
onds, that he was IN bad and he didn't
waste any time or gray matter In
thinking Il over, but Just got away
from the barrier az a dead lope. and
hid In his bathroom for about an hour

Rock Island Now Negotiating for Santa

Payson and w, A, Bissell, two leading
officials OF the Santa ZEE on this coast
admit that the Rock Island people are
negotiating with the Santa Fe ror the
privilege Of running its own trains over
the latter road into san Francisco from
Albuquerque.
The impression prevails that before
the end Of the year the Rock Island viii
either have absorbed the Santa Fe or
else obtained contract TO run its trains
into this city.
The basis Of the present negotiations
is an exchange Of trackage rights, For
the privilege Of running its solid trains
over the Santa Fe from Albuquerque to
this city the Rock Island is said to be
willing to give the saita Fe trackage
rights over It's system in southwestern
Kansas, New Mexico, the Texas Pam
handle and oklahoma.
