RECOVERED HIS PAJAMAs
German Ready to Depart for Iowa
When Woman Returns Mysterious
Package Taken by Mistake.

CONSERVATION was never depicted
palmer on human countenance than
yesterday when an excited German
rushed into the Great Northern office
and asked for package he said he
had thoughtlessly left on the counter
short time before. The package
was missing and the owner was
poor loser.
Railroad men in the Office did some
hard thinking and remembered that
lady had inquired the rate to Chi
cago short time before and had
taken the missing package with her
as she went out. thinking it her own.
The German was inconsolable and de-
manded minute description of the
woman.
Visions of mysterious fortune hid
den in the unpretentious bundle ap--
peared to the railroaders but before
they could gain any information as
to its contents, the German rushed
out apparently in search of the wOm-
an who had taken his property.
The railroaders had forgotten the
incident when lady walked in and
dropped small bundle on the coun-
ter with the appearance of having
great responsibility lifted from her
mind. 1t was the missing package.
Agent W. 8. Weber hustled up to
the counter and the lady said she
must have thoughtlessly taken the
package with her for she found it
was not her property. Mr.. Weber re-
membered the incident of the excited
German and his detective instinct
told him this must belong to that in
dividual.
Il think the owner was just in here
looking for that" said he affably. HE
seemed worried about it.. What is
there in it. anything valuable?"
NO, think not" replied the lady
as she turned pale pink and started
| away.
Later in the afternoon, the German
returned for information concerning
his loss. He was immensely relieved
when told his package had been found
and Mr.. Weber fairly beamed as he
placed the package in the owners
hands.
Anything valuable?" he asked.
YES" was the answer. my blue
polka dot pajamas that bought for
my trip to Iowa. Now, can go to-
morrow as l intended"

CAN'T CHANGE THE WEATHER.

thing Elsa Needed In Stock.

nut inc ClOullnK store Has Every
thing Else Needed In Stock.
I'VE have everything necessary for
a change except the weather." is the
announcement made in the window of
the NJ. Stanchfield clothing store. This
pretty we'll expresses the sentiments
Of the clothing merchants of the city
and others who deal in goods whose
sale depends in great degree upon
the whims of the weather clerk.
The season has been a pretty trying
one for clothing dealers. as there has
been little genuine spring weather and
the garments which are intended es-
pecially for that season have not been
in great demand. When the four sea-
sons of the year become three, by a
jump from winter to summer, with no
spring intervening. the spring over
coat is not the most salable article

THE JAP AND THE JOB

10 be rather general III the EaSt--de-
rived, evidently, from the San Fran
cisco Prcss-there is by no means
u'.animity of opinion on the Pacific
Coast i'll regard to the exclusion of
Japanese laborers; nor, for that mat
ter, with regard to the exclusion of
Chinese laborers. If there were such
tnanimity we might forshorten our
expectation of the millennium. Both
Japanese and Chinese labor affect eco
nomic interests in Numerically OPP
posite way, and even at this day, OH
the coast, one finds violent denounci-
alton of the Chinese exclusion act
Employers in some lines-notably
in the great fruit industry-fnd the
brown and yellow labor exceedingly
convenient. They point out that
native labor is practically unavail
able. 1t is not a sort of work
and does not afford :; scale of pay
that attracts American workmen.
The employers don't know what
would become of them if the Oriental
supply were materially curtailed, any
more than cotton planters know what
would become of them if they didn't
Lave the blacks The total lumber
CT Orientals on the coast is, after all,
a mere handful Employers plead
that one more handful couldn't hur,
anybody. One poin' made in their
behalf has considerable poetic justice
namely, that the East, which as
sisted in excluding the Chinese and
now seems minded to assist in shut
ting out the Japs, is taking gross
advantage because its capital has the
blessing of yearly flood of cheap
labor from southern and eastern
Europe. This fructifying food is,
so to speak, damned up in the East
