"That don't sound ikeN the presi-
dent" muttered the general passenger
agent as he left the office. "But I
guess it's all up with old Tom" That
afternoon old Tom responded to his
chiefs summons with the same CHEEKY
face that had endeared him to fellow
employees and to the public. The I'M
suspecting old man began to speak Of
former times and the general passen-
ger agents pluck oozed out of his In
ger tips.
'Tom," he said, "how are you
fxed?"
Bully" replied Tom. "We're get
ting along famous at the depot, and l
don't know how things could be bet
ter"
Little by little the general passenger
agent learned that all old Tom had In
the world to keep himself and wife
from starvation was his salary and
board cottage on bleak portion Of the
Atlantic coast near Salem, Mass.
you've been working long enough,
Tom" declared the general passenger
agent. 1.-THE president has suggested
that you retire on half pay. Could you
live on the beach at that price?"
Old Tom was the happiest man alive.
Half pay and life in his seaside cot
tage had been his dream for some
time. Several months after Toms sue
cessor had been appointed the presi'
from the depot. He had misgivings
and hastily sent for the general pas
senger agent.
where's Old Tom Kelly" he de
manded.
well, you know what you told me
the other day about pensions and get
ting the work Of my department done
at any cost. remember you said the
sooner the men understood that the
road didn't want fellows who were
looking for pensions in their old age
the better"
"Oh, I know all about that, but
where's old Tom Kelly? haven't seen
him about the depot Of late"
tom had become entirely incompe-
tent and l had to supersede him."
"You don't mean to tell me-" de-
mandetl the president angrily, that
you have fired poor old Tom Kelly?
Why, man, he was working for this
road when I was boy. He was too
good fellow to ever save a cent, and
he never refused to help any man who
needed help and many who didn't.
How in thunder did you dare to fire
the old manY
II did not say that 1 fred him."
What did you do with him, them"
well, as there was no pension sys
tcm on this blamed old road, 1 pro-
noted him.
Whats old Tom doing now?" asked
the president as a smile of satisfaction
stole over his face.
Il have promoted him to the posi-
ton of advertising representative of
the X road for the town of Salem
Mass"
"Oh, you did, did your" grunted the
president in satisfaction. As the gen.
eral passenger agent was about to
close the office door the president call
ed to him:
by the way, old Tom was just the
man for that job."-Chicago Record

Yesterday however. it was the talk of
police headquarters and Fillmore
street.
The police are aware of MitchelTs
influence over the newsboys and are
inclined to think that there will be
more trouble if a bunch of them should
fall afoul of Graney.
When reporters applied for informa-
ton of the fight at Graneys' saloon
last night they were told that the
blacksmith was away at the Orpheum
and would not be back until very late.
The fight was between couple of
stew buns" said one of Graney's bar
tenders. There was nothing to it."
When told that the names of the
principals were well known and were
being talked of at police headquarters,
the bartender made further efforts to
hush the matter up.
Some one has been stringing you,"
he said. "Graney had nothing to do
with il. AS 1 said before, it was be-
tween couple of stew buns. You're

THOUSANDS ENJOY
SUNDAY OUTING

Bright sunshine and a delightful at
mosphere attracted thousands of pleas
ure-seekers to the park and to the
beach yesterday. So beautiful was the
day that 1T was termed a midsummer
day in December" Car service to both
places was congested. Especially was
the crowd large at the park, where the
speedway was lined with fine horses.
People in holiday attire thronged the
stadium, where various games and ath-
letic entertainments were in evidence.
Park Superintendent McLaren com
mented upon the crowds that gathered
in various places, and said that 1t was
one of the largest gatherings of people
In the park that he had ever seen.
The only complaint made was with
the car service. There were not enough
cars to meet the demands Of the occa-
sion, and women and children generally
found difficulty in getting aboard.
In addition to the crowds that went
to the park and beach, many San Fran
cisco people left the city early In the
day for recreation on the opposite side
of the bay. During the morning hours
the ferry boats were crowded with peo-
pie bound for various destinations.
