beside me, his first remark set all
doubts in my mind at rest.
After a slight preamble on the
weather the old chap, who looked as
though he might be one of your re-
spectacle citizens out on toot, declared
he had just written beautiful ballad
and that he was going to have it set 10
music.
Raffles Suffers Terribly
Before starting to sing he further in
formed me he had thought the verses
out, after indulging in three or four OF
Harry Pearce's "hi'balls' down at the
King Edward hotel. I declared that 1
was not much up on music and that he
better keep quiet or he might get
pinched, all of which was the signal
for the old party to below in boot
leg bass:
Anna Hannah, from Montana
Plan a wedding day.
Do not tarry,
Marry Harry.
Marry right away.
In loves bowers
Flowers ours,
We will ever stray.
Anna Hannah from Montana
Plan wedding day
AS finale the old party gave me a
whack on the back, insisting that join
in the second chorus, but as l am not
much up in the singing line / decided 1t
was time for me to disappear, which L
did just as a policeman, attracted by
the noise, began vending his way
through the crowd.
Broadway Store Girl Loses
The other day while 1 was in a
Broadway department store girl in a
long tan coat remarked in wondering
sort of way: Gee, but you certainly
have a nerve" told her at that time
to wait a bit and that 1 would show her
few specimens of the real article be-
fore was through with this town.
have happened across that same
young lady on two separate occasions
since that time and each time she has
failed to make good her threat to recog-
nize me the very moment she laid her
eyes on me.
In an effort to locate my respected
friend, Prof Rudolph Won Heidelberg.
succeeded in bothering a number of
good people living in the southwestern
section of the city. Personally 1 never
heard of Won Heidelberg, but the way
went after him yesterday was good
enough excuse for those l called upon
to give me all sorts of suggestions and
advice as to how and where 1 might
possibly locate.
Mrs. Llewellyn of 226 West Adams
street, who was reading the wrong
paper on the front porch of her home
and chasing bumblebees at the same
time, declared she had never heard of
such a party as Won Heidelberg.
But" she added, you might try across
the street, as / have noticed strange
man going in and out of there during
the past few days, and that might be
the party you are looking for-but don't
say sent you over"
Visits Polytechnic Girls
Walking down Adams to Figueroa
street I trailed along until reaching
Washington street, where, on turning
the corner, l discovered a number of
young women sketching on the lawn Of
the Polytechnic high school. Singing
out one of these young artists, l re-
peated my inquiry for Won Heidelberg.
Pausing In her work the girl, who was
of medium build with an abundance of
light brown hair, declared she did not
believe there was any such professor
in the school. but added that l might
ask the principal.
/ found a tall, middle-aged, bald
headed man, wearing a white coat and
white apron and smoking a cigar as he
mixed some fruit flavors at the soda
fountain in Leihy's candy store at 553
West Washington street, to whom l
propounded the same query regarding
my mythical friend, Won Heidelberg.
This chap whom l suppose was Mr..
Leihy, declared he did not know of any
such person In the neighborhood, but
suggested that l try next door, as he
had only lived in that locality since last
July,
INthen gave up the quest for Won
and shifted over to DIR.
