AMAZON SM0TE MAN
WHO ANNOYED HER

A sharp, resounding slap was admin
istered late last night by a dashing
young woman to man who was rude
to her on an Eighth and Central street
car. The slap was not love-pat. It
came with singing force and left a
white spot on the mans cheek, which
an instant later became fiery red.
It happened because the man forgot
to be reasonably polite. He boarded the
car at Sixth street and Third avenue 8.
A number of passengers were standing
in the rear.

The stranger, with an unighted cigar

'Get up in front or get out Of the

left. Men got out Of his way as best
they could, falling over each other to
do so, while the resolute man went on.
Suddenly he was confronted by a
woman in brown. !.
'Get out of the way,' said the man
roughly, at the same time Selling her
by the arm and attempting to push her
out of his course. It was then the slap
came and resounded thru the cal, like
the crack of a pistol. .s....-
There was a suppressed litter. -
"Served him right, the brute," said
one woman. In the meantime the two
were glazing at each other:

man from the end seat, as he rose up

TO PROTECT HOUSEWIVES
FRANK GAYLORD WILL ASK FOR
PREVENTION OF SHORT.
!. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

Frank Gaylord, sealer Of weights and
measures, will seek to have a bill in
troduced in the legislature giving off
GERS the power to inspect and weigh
produce offered for sale on the streets.
Under the present city ordinance he
is not allowed to stop a peddler or
farmer who is selling vegetables and
measure or weigh them. If the buck
ster sells short peck Of potatoes, the
only redress for the purchaser is to
weigh them himself and then swear out
a warrant. If the sealer Of weights
and measures and his deputies are given
the power to stop the vendors and
weigh the baskets or measures offered.
many bad deals might be prevented.
The real point Of the bill, however.
will be to make all vendors sell vege-
tables by weight. Now many Of them
can dodge the law by Offering to sell
by the basket, making no claims as to
the cubic contents. In this way he is
safe from legal proceedings, but the
customer, nevertheless, thinks he has
obtained full measure.
Mr.. Gaylord will consult with CITY
Attorney Healy and a bill will be
drawn up and introduced by some mem
Der Of the Hennepin delegation.
