method used by certain of the inhabitants to gen.
crate the necessary social brand. Unconscious
of designs upon them, distinguished citizens
from the East, the South, and the far-off Pacific
Coast, came to be the guests of the various COM
mittees of the affair for a few brief days. and in
that short time, frantic but well disguised efforts
were put forth by the social aspirants to have
their names coupled much possible with
those of the distinguished visitors whose social
standing at home par excellence and more
often of national repute. In other words, it was
hoped that some of the glamour would rub off
and stick so hard to those longing for society's
favor that after the guest departed it would shine
out like FURNISHED glass in the glare of search
light.
Naturally, Mr.. Sharpax, as Chairman of the
celebration in for the lions share of work
in arranging and outlining all the details of the
Festival. He worked hard, incidentally going
deep into his well-lined pocket in order to put
some finishing touches upon things when the
supposedly generous citizens little back
ward in swelling the Festival fund.- called by
courtesy subscriptions and generally corralled
in heartless manner by plain everyday hired
canvaSSers.
Unfortunately for Mr. Sharpax during the last
preparations, he several times incurred the en-

nifty of the labor element and being of
his own mind, refused to be dictated to by walk
ing delegates, labor leaders, union non-union,
when they tried to take hand. This, of course,
led to friction about the completion of the vari-
GUS necessary details, among them the finishing
of the grand stand from which the big parade
was to be reviewed, the feeling even extending to
threats that the bands would not be permitted to
march in the parade. Finally things took such
shape that labor clamored for Mr.. Sharpax to
step down and out But Mr.. Sharpax, with his
social ambitions just about to be realized point
blank refused to do so.
Finally, after an all nights session. the night
before the beginning of the festival, at which
the labor leaders said heated and harsh things Of
Mr.. Sharpax, and to which that gentleman made
extremely sarcastic replies, but refused to bulge
an inch a truce was patched up, the labor side
grudgingly agreeing.
Mr.. Sharpax, however in fierce and homely
language, was given to understand that the truce
would only cover the days of the celebration, and
that when that closed labor would reckon with
him, and it did.
The events attendant upon the festival were
permitted to come off without mar or mishap. MI.
Sharpax, to his great qualification, be 1t said,
rode in the first carriage of the parade, side by
side with person of national prominence and
unquestioned social prestige, four handsome
horses drawing the carriage between human walls
of people lining the streets. Later, with the wife
of distinguished Senator, he led the grand
Los Angeles herald., 1907-12-01

march at the great civic and military ball, and
handsome Mrs. Sharpax, resplendent in a new
gown of great richness, and the Senator came
next At the banquet Mr.. Sharpax was toast
master, and so it went Then at last it all
over and the threatened reckoning with labor
came
Almost from the instant the festivities closed,
Mr.. Sharpax was marked man, as far as tine
horny handed element was concerned. Cook,
servant girl, Mrs Sharpaxs maid and the nurse
all went a strike in bunch the same night
the festival closed, giving a reason that "The
Servant Girls Amalgamated Society of Ladies'
had so ordered it, because of Mr. Sharpax. Then
in the morning followed by the coachman and
hostler, at the bequest of the "Anti-Automobile
Union" an organization to down electricity, and,
it turned out, Mr.. Sharpax. All efforts to hire
other servants in their places proved futile. Even
the butcher and grocer went so far as to refuse
to deliver goods at the house, because their help
mutined, and the mikmen of the "Dairymens
Brotherhood" refused to leave milk, and little
Baby Sharpax looked though he knew who
was to blame. Efforts to press into service hired
carriages even automobiles proved of no avail,
because drivers and operators, when they discov-
cred 1t was Mr.. Sharpax or his family they were
to serve returned to the stables and registered
kick, which evidently strong, they did rot
return.
This at the home. At the Office of
Sharpax Blue & Co. matters were no better.
Porters, teamsters, clerks, office boys and all went
at the instigtaion of the walking delegate, and
pickets prowled the neighborhood to keep away
would-be applicants for work.
At home Mr.. Sharpax helped get his own meals,
tended his own fires, his horses-was forced to
do all the marketing, and then, after carrying it
home, obliged to chase out down the street
to little shop for milk for baby and the table.
Poor Mrs. Sharpax, who wasn't brought up a
cook or housemaid and not used to such hard
ships, did the best she could under the circum
stances, which very bad as far as the cooking
was concerned, and that quickly caused family
friction.
Mr. Sharpax's business suffered Instead of
getting sympathy from his friends, he was
laughed at and with the press Mr.. Sharpax and
his labor troubles became standing joke. Then
it was he decided to close up his handsome and
comfortable home, where he had lived quietly
and happily prior to his venturing to act as chair
man of the Festival, hoping for better social
standing. When last heard from he was unde
cided whether to go abroad or face it out by try
ing to live at fashionable hotel.
But the labor leaders said they were only wait
ing to see what hotel he intended patronizing be-
fore causing further trouble, so Mr.. Sharpax was
not certain whether any hostelry would take him
in unless he assumed an alias and registered in
the night.
AS to his social standing however, Mr.. Sharpax
says he shall never again attempt to force its
growth
