QUESTION OF TRACK.

Mr. Borden SAID ne thought that
horsemen would prefer half mile
track to a three-quarter mile one.
President Spreckels thought that the
three-quarter mile track was preferable
and Mr.. Borden added that while the
longer course might not suit all horse
men they would nevertheless be salts
fled with the track as planned because
the automobile, bicycle, polo and other
sports would be better provided for on
a three quarter stretch.
The Police Department, at the re-
quest of President Spreckels, made re-
port that Policeman Kessing had ar
rested r. Fl. Trout for driving an auto
mobile beyond the speed limit The
number on the machine did not cor
respond with Trout's permit. Trout
told President Spreckels that the
change Of numbers was due to his ma
chine having broken down and the
number on 1t was then substituted. It
transpired, after investigation, that
Trout was running his auto too fast
and he will be cited to appear before
the commissioners and show cause why
his permit should not be revoked.
Complaint was received from resi-
dents near Lafayette square Of certain
drifting sand. They do not know
whether the sand Is on street or park
property. The matter was referred to
the City and County Attorney for in
vestigation. The squatters on Frank
lin square, Sixteenth and Bryant
streets, will be proceeded against by
the City Attorney.
The contract for furnishing 1900 cubic
yards of clay for the park was award
ed to Owen McHugh for rs cents per
cubic yard.
The United States Life Saving Sta
tion at the beach has been using park
water and the Government has been
notified that a charge for same will
be made. Sheehan's place at the beach
has paid $50 for water taken during
eight months from park pipes without
the consent Of the commission.

SUNDAY MAGAZINE for DECEMBER II. 1905

/ was born three minutes after mid
night on the star-spangled mornin' of
February twenty times.
Now, William, says he, real solemn,
not havin', in your brief but miserable
existence, run up ag'in' anything any
tougher, you might, at first glance,
think that about as tough as they make
'em, but that's because you never felt
a consumin' desire to talk foolish to a
woman who can't understand you any
way you can fix it. Now, says he, any
other man would have fallen in love
with blushin' female critter who the
same had all the human faculties worth
mentionin'; but, William, it was for me
to continue to exist for forty long and
lonesome years and then get loco over

tell me if she did
" But if the gal reciprocates-' says l,
not thinkin' of anything less interestin'.
&c That's just what's got me on the
rum says he. I dunno.
"'Of course says 1, 'diff'rent people
have different and varied ways of gettin'
themselves into trouble. But if it was
me, I'd ask her.
That's what I've been tryin' to do,

Luke wilted like a sunfower in a
simeon. This says he, is what l call
sure disheartenin'. Waited ten years to
deliver that speech, William, and she's
so cussed def she couldn't hear it thunder
down the ages. It's discouragin' to
American oratory.
1t is discouragin', says 1; but if
she didn't hear you, maybe she won't
lay it up ag'in' you none
THAT night Miss Angel sleeps in our
parlor bedroom whilst me and Luke and
Mr.. Swan Gol1y scouts for soft spot to
lie down on. Two days later sees Luke
wanderin' up the canon and nurnblin'.

Bells of Christmas
By Madeline Bridges

No other bells that ever rang
Ger land or sea were like to these;
No other chimes, nor melodies,
Nor any song that poet sang
OF Lies swift-changing histories,
Of Deaths unbroken mysteries
Gave such strange music to the breeze,
Nor swept on the wind S wings so far
High, and beyond the highest star,
Far as the doors of Heaven are
All other bells that be, ring clear
And loud and sweet for the worlds ear:
Cadences tuned to bliss and woe,
Soft bridal lays, sad dirges slow,
Glad peals for joy, low peals for prayer;
But this, that thrills the Christmas air,
Breaks all of silence everywhere.
The living and the dead are stirred,
AS with one vast outreaching word
The grandest ever said or heard.
Chime! bells of Heaven, with clang and
clang,
Ger all the lands, DER all the seas
No other bells that ever rang
Since time began were like to these.

I don't want to jedge no Twin critter

to hear it?'
"'I amt feelin' very wel1,' says I;
but if it will ease your Conscience

"'Huh,' yells he. don't you reckon

"'You did?, says /, purt' nigh scarf

expression which the same was con-

is it hog-cholera cure.

considerable work to float Luke's bonds
of matrimony. Howsomever, thought
the result might be worthy of the effort,
for | could sense fate less pleasant than
bein' married to woman who can't
always have the last word. So my
spirits begin purrin' when Luke comes
about two sizes too big for him, and says
he knows of a Teller over to Cheyenne
who peddles out the deef-and- dumb
lingo, and he's goin' to squander FIVE
dollars anyway for luck and general
results. So I bid him a fond farewell
and let him go.
He's gone three days. When he re-
turns he plants himself in front of me
and begins to vibrate his fingers like he
had an attack of Saint Vitus's dance.
Luke says 1, ought to be sorry
for you, but I amt. You ought to have

of such delirious joy that he couldn't

he runs amuck of the only loose stone in
ten mile, and the next minute he's
evo1uted into a battered wreck. With
wonder and vain regret l gathers up his
mortal remains and finds he's fractured

l dunno, says he, but it does seem
to me that when l amt nursin' sore
head and a vain regret I'm rushin' head
long into a new misfortune which no
man never had the delirium trembles
and thought of. If l ever gets to that
pint where I've had all the experiences

for me to have, then says he, 1 sure

There's one experience I remarks,
that you wasn't called upon to go up
against, which the same if you had been

Luke sat up and took notice And
what was that?' he says, tremblin' with
apprehensions.
This mornin',' says I, as I came
around the corner of the cabin, there
stands Miss Angel, and in her pretty
little hands is two of the biggest and
most reckless pistols I ever see at one
look, which the same is starin' at me in
way that didn't add none to my pussonal
comfort. Not wishin' to disturb the
ladys meditations, l quit movin' with
considerable suddenness. Just then here

NOT TO EXCLUDE WOMEN.
They May NOsc Compete for Posi-
ton of Register of Records.

The recent attempt to exclude women from
animation for the position OF Register OF RECORDS
in the Tenement House Department has shown
that the influence Of women is not altogether
powerless to effect change OF heart n public Of
icias. Only one previous examination for this pO-
sition has been held. and at this there was no
question of sex. Miss Kate Holiday Claghorn was
one of the FIVE candidates who passed. She was
appointed assistant register, and the resgna-
ton Of the register DR.. Patterson. in September,
she became acting register. 1t was therefore
surprise to the public when a second examination
was advertised and women were expressly excluded
from competing.
The ruling caused great connection not only
because it excluded women in general but because
it excludes Miss Claghorn in particular. and her
friends regard the natural candidate for the
position. which has a salary Of 5000 a year at
tached to it. Protests have, accordingly, been
rained upon the Civil Service Commission. and ap-
pear. as already stated. to have effected change
OF heart in that quarter.
No definite action regarding the readvertisement
of the examination be taken until the Civil
Service Board meets on Monday or Tuesday, but
those familiar with the situation consider change
in the ruling practically certain.
The president OF the Civil Service Commission,
William F. Baker. has expressed himself as person
ally in favor OF such change. and it has also been
recommended by the Tenement House Commits
siCner, Thomas T. c. Grain
Il was much surprised" said Mr.. Grain yesterday
when I learned that women were TO be excluded
from the examination and I have written TO the
Civil Service Commission 10 say that hope they
may their way clear to open the examination
to persons OF both sexes. know no reason why
the position should not be filed by a woman and
the only reason that could be alleged would be the
fact that the position involves the supervision OF
a large number of clerks. both men and women
This might be harder for some women than for
most men. The present acting register Is a wO-
man, and very competent, palnstakiug worker
Among the Organizations which have protested
against the exclusion OF women from this examina
ton Is the Woman's Municipal League. In a letter
to the Civil Service Commission, the president Of
the League, Miss ". L Chanler characterizes the
ruling as retrograde STEP and one which seems
to contradict the very principle OF Civil Service
which holds out the possibility Of advance IN place
10 those who have served we'll and pass proper ex-
aminatiOns."
