the sides of the building. and that they
then had a quarrel among themselves
In which one of the boys was seriously

tn pay her landlord $50 damages, is
very glad to have got rid of her lease
The landlord objected to pet animals
in his flats and so put clause in his
leases that tenants could not keep an
animal of any sort. The court showed
that this provision prevented the
actress from owning and driving car
riage and horses. Each time she went
for drive she was liable to pay the
landlord damages. She was brought
into court because she smuggled a wee
lapdog in her pocket into the fiat One

DOCK HOUGHTON
is In TRAINING
SIXTH WARD STATESMAN is
HARDENING MUSCLES
Some Day, When He Is a Samson,
the 112-Pounder Says He
Will Avenge Certain
Insults

Mayor McAleer is spending the rest
of his term in Office in fear and trem-
bling Whenever he sees the burly 112-
pound form of Dock Houghton ap-
preaching he ducks under a table and
pleads for mercy.
There was a time and it wasn't so
many months ago, either, when the big
hammering rivets in a boiler factory,
could pick the dock up by one ear and
gently watt him through the door on
the point of his No 10 shoes. And, in
cidentally. there was a time when the
mayor did that very thing But those
good old days have gone by.
Dock Houghton is now taking ply
steal culture and his one ambition is to
avenge that day that sticks out so
sharply in his memory when he made
an undignified exit from the mayors
office with the sole of the mayors shoe
one of the most prominent features in
the background setting.
Makes Queer Spectacle
There is something pathetic about
Dock Houghton in physical culture at
tire. AS one idly watches the fiighty
statesman of the Sixth ward try to
step on his left hind ear, under the di-
rection of Prof. Somebody or other, one
has a vague recollection of having seen
something like that before. 1t is one of
those vague, puzzling remembrances
that almost converts one to theosophy.
Somewhere, sometime, memory tells
one, someone or something that looked
exactly like the dock appears when he
takes off his well tailored garments and
dOnS pair of high cut pantieS You
become almost mad in your efforts to
think what the dock resemb bles. At last
you have it. Did you ever see two
match sticks Joined together with one
head? That is Dock Houghton ready
for his gyrations, red hair and all.
Tailor Is Clever
With all his clothes on Houghton
might possibly be mistaken for man
Weighing $50 pounds. When he takes
off his coat there Is remarkable dis

the professor puts dock through. In
two minutes the Sixth warder is ready
to sweat blood but he shuts his eyes and

cine as though he liked It. All the while
he is nerving himself up with the re-
membrance OF what McAleer did to him
that fine spring morning and what he
will do to McAleer when he graduates
from the physical culture school.
When the physical culture professor
Is through, another professor gently
takes him by the hand and leads him
into the center Of the arena. A pair
Of the regulation boxing gloves are
placed on his hands. Oh. this is sport.

he Will. Just wait about a month or
two. oh, let me at himl Hold my hands
or I'll knock his block off
Mutters His Threats
These and sundry other reflections are
muttered by the budding pugilist.
Then the professor stands in front Of
him and let's Houghton land a few light
blows that couldn't possibly hurt a
baby.
You're doing fine" says the profess
sor, encouragingly and then he taps
Houghton lightly on the chest. DOCK

MARRIES ALICE B. SL0SS0N
SUDDENLY
Former Mayor and Father of Owens
River Project Joins Hands
With City Attorneys
Stenoerapher

City officials and the many friends of
Fred Eaton were surprised yesterday
afternoon to learn that the former
mayor and father of the owens river
project was married at noon to Miss
Alice B. Slosson, stenographer in the
city attorneys Office.
Eaton has a way of doing things
without a brass band accompaniment,
but his friends were probably no more
surprised when he announced the big
water project after working on it for
ten years than they were to learn of
his marriage He told no one of his
plans and Miss Slosson was equally
secretive.
Yesterday morning Miss Slosson was
working in the city attorneys office
until ten minutes before noon. At that
minute Eaton opened the door of the
city attorneys office. Miss Slosson
pinned on her hat and without saying
a word the two left the city hall. Less
than half an hour later Miss Slosson
called Assistant City Attorney Hewitt
on, the telephone and with many
bushes in her voice told him what had
hannened
