to stand while "Swick' spoke with
fatherly directness upon the model
behavior demanded by the service. and
growing eloquent as he saw the earn
est look upon his victims face, spoke
on for a full quarter of an hour.
Then seeing tears starting down the
young mans face "Swick" gravely dis
missed him with a gesture as ''in-
itiated."
During the next four or five days
the young fellow failed to show up,
and finally the genial but gigantic
desk man C'Swick" stands over six
feet in his stockings) inquired of the
janitor where the young fellow was.
Dansby replied by asking what had
been done to his assistant, saying that
the young fellow had absolutely re-
fused to come back to the city hall
after the first morning.
"Swick" explained how he had SIM
ply given the man fatherly lecture
as a sort of friendly initiation.
Dansby began to laugh as the sit

result of crusade made by the
Womans club for park on East Third

ing ground for rubbish and tin cans, the
board Of trade last night indorsed the
scheme for the park and will ask the

The committee held that the scheme
was impracticable. owing to the unde-
sirable location of the land, IL being in
a section largely inhabited by MeXicans
and Indians and close to Chinatown.
