the young man or woman is likely to
look upon department service as a
beautiful life of do Little and Draw
Your Pay" and watch the passing
show. But IL has its seamy side and
carries both advantages and disadvan-
tages in its train.
There is the danger OF fossilization;
OF becoming a leaf in the sere; with
energies gone and aspiration dead.
This danger is great and seems almost
inevitable to him who has many years
OF service in the departments. Though
all will not agree with the Hon. Champ
Clark In a recent article in the Satur-
day Evening Post when he says over
the doorways of the Departments
should be inscribed in letters so large
that he who runs may read:

Yet to the young man and woman

San Bernardino People
Make a Quiet Raid on
Wrecked Freight Car
LABELED VINEGAR

Maybe railroad freight hand can
be bunkoed into the belief that whisky
is vinegar, but you can't fool the San
Bernardino farmer :. label won't steer
the latter off the scent of good old
bourbon that cheers down San Ber-
| nardino way until the gallows-like cac-
tus becomes a Christmas tree and the
prickly peap an apple of the Hesperides
freight train was wrecked near San
Bernardino few days ago. One of
the cars contained fifty large barrels
labeled vinegar" These were hurled
out alongside the track. The train
hands and section men didn't pay much
attention to them These men drink
water from canteens and seemed to
Hong for something else The farmers
came from round about" to see the
sight. They inspected the vinegar"
barrels, and left eyes closed slyly in
accompaniment to suggestive shifting of
nostrils. Forefngers went to lips as
the shusbandmen gazed at each other,
and their frames quaked with sup
pressed laughter. 1t was too easy.
The next morning there wasn't bar
rel of vinegar in sight. To put guard
over the cheap acetic product had never
occurred to any one. The indignant
railroad workers expressed the opinion
that the whole county must be putting
up pickles.
A rumor that the vinegar" barrels
had been buried during the night
reached the railroad hands. They be-
gan to suspect that they had over
looked something.
The Southern Pacific Company got a
wire from the East that the vinegar
was really Al bourbon from old
Kentucky Detectives were sent down
to literally unearth it. if they could
locate it's grave. They are now at work
such zeal Ranchers who weren't in on
the bourbon burial thought, before they
learned the truth, that Hartman was
grading to head off a rival.
The message concerning the disap-
pearance of the whisky was sent to
the general freight department in this
city. Before many hours elapsed De-
tective Levin of the Southern Pacific
and a corps of able sleutns were on
ravel the mystery.
The detectives are hard at work look
ing for clews to the missing liquor
Whenever they run across a spot where
the dirt looks as if it had been dis
turbed recently they begin to dig.
Never before has gang of detectives
done such strenuous labor They are
getting low down tips on the location
of the corn juice from farmers who
have, to break ground for new potato
patches.
The officials of the Southern Pacific
refuse to say whether the efforts to ind
the bourbon have been rewarded.
1t is said that the Southern Paclhc
will refuse TO pay damages for whisky
IL the barrels are not located because
the stuff was shipped as vinegar. They
are willing to settle on vinegar basis.
A strong guard would have been kept
over the barrels had it been known how
precious their contents really were, they
say.

HEADQUARTERS SECURED
BY TELEPHONE COMPANY
Corporation to Take Two Floors
Of Shreve Building for Execu-
tive Offices.

The Pacific States Telephone and
Telegraph Company has arranged to
take two floors of the Shreve building,
to be used as the executive offices of
the company pending the erection of
a new Office.
After the fire, in which the company
lost ten buildings, including the exec
utive Office building on New Montgom-
cry street, a temporary office building
was erected on Scott street, extending
from Fell to Page. These quar-
ters are at best makeshift and are
not easily accessible for the general
public. The business of the company
and the convenience of it's customers
make necessary its. Establishment in a
central location in the business dis
trict with the least possible delay.
The changes which will result from
the rebuilding of the burned district
can only be determined when the re-
building is fairly under way, and
meanwhile it is practically impossible
to decide where the telephone center
of the city will be or to select a site
which will permanently meet the needs
of the company. AS it will take at
least two years for the company to
erect its permanent Office building. and
as the Shreve building will be ready for
occupancy. within six months, 1t has
N-oC u SCphiC duSqudtC quar-
tiers which will be speedily available
In location which Is now convenient
for the public.
The ESQ employees who are now ac-
commodated in the wooden building on
Scott street will also be much more
conveniently located in the Shreve
building.
At the present time the Pacific States
Telephone and Telegraph Company has
In San Francisco five buildings under
construction or reconstruction for the
housing of its switchboards and ex-
change apparatus, and three additional
exchange bull.-ngs will be erected
within the next two or three years. The
exchange buildings are especially con-
strueted for telephone purposes and the
company will give these the preference
over the new office building.

Margaret Mccormick
Refuses toAllow Court
to Settle Divorce Case

Nervously pounding the desk in front
of Judge Graham yesterday, Margaret
Mccormick accused her husband of be-
ing a thief. drunkard and looter, and
declared that, once for all, she would
not live with him. Because of the
child the court attempted to effect
reconciliation between the husband and
wife. The Judge gave it up as bad
job and, pending the suit, instructed
Mccormick to give his wife $50 a month
alimony (.
Can you not agree to live with your
husband?" asked Judge Graham

would be dead woman within a week."

with good man on two bits day than
with him on 81 day."
My wife sold all the furniture in the

to make out a case for himself.

there was little use of patching up mat

hearing. In the meantime Mccormick,
who is pattern maker by trade, will be
forced to support his wife.
Cruelty, that consisted in going with
other men and allowing her husband TO
find it out, was responsible for the d.
vorce that Judge Hebbard granted John
E. Dougherty from Lillian Dougherty, a
resident of tent % att Seventeenth and
Kansas streets. Dougherty testified
that his wife attempted to poison him
by giving him a drink of lysol and
whisky, and that when he discovered
her intentions she said she intended to
kill him and commit suicide.
