Wednesday night was the night for
one of the enjoyable "42" club gath
erings for the young people again.
This time the club met at Miss Bertha
Hunck' s. AS usual the game of "42"
predominated in the joys of the even
ing. 1t was INDUCED in until l1.3O
at which time a lunch was served that
an "habitue" of Delmonico's would
have relished with delight The "42"
club was only organized a few weeks
ago and has met with universal de
light among the younger set here,
the party at Miss Hunck's being the
second meeting.
Miss Hunck is a most charming
hostess, and makes all of her guests
feel perfectly at home. The next party
will be held at Miss Mary TOlbert's
two weeks from Wednesday night
The A. F. c. club here among the
very young girls is doing exception
ally well. This is strictly an athletic
club, and all of the games are out
door sports. The club gained two new
members lately and more are promis-
ed. A most enjoyable evening was
spent last week the house of Miss
Caldwell
Mr.. Perry WvIty leaves in the
morning for a vacation to be spent
with Mrs Welty, who left here some
weeks ago and who is now in st.
Joseph, Mo. Mrs. Welty, will probably
remain away the balance of the sum-
mer, but Mr.. Welty will return in a
couple of weeks.
Crops are coming out in first class
style now and have recuperated won
derfully after the recent storm.
Among recent arrivals here are the
AIessrs. French, and the Messrs. cliff.
These families are both from Plains,
Texas, and have come with the idea of
each family having bought
several hundred acres in the San Ben
ito vicinity.

That Trash Box Fire.-Tbat the
fire which was discovered in a trash
box on the alley between Elizabeth
and Levee streets may have been
started with malicious Intention. is
the belief of those living in that vi
cinity. 1t is fact that the family at
whose gate the trash box stood uses
only gas for cooking, and hence there
could not have been any ashes thrown
INTO the box Someone was heard
striking matches near the spot
short time before, and it is thought
that the trash may have been pur-
posely set afire, in order to cause the
occupants of the house to run to the
alley leaving the filed clear for a bur-
glars raid on the house. A man SUM-
posed to be the miscreant who set
the box afire, knocked at the front
door OF the house and informed the
family that it was burning, but it was
extlnguished so quickly that, if such
were his Intention, he did not have
time to get into the house.
A number of the hackmen have
fallen into disfavOr with the base |
ball fans by refusing to allow banners |
advertising the baseball to be placed
on their hacks, unless paid for the
privilege. The baseball management
claims that, as the hackmen benefit
more than anyone else by the hall
games, they should be willing to as
Slst in advertising them.

A Footnote to History.

The open season is at hand, and now
all the angling clubs tall stories are to
be heard said Commissioner George
M Bowers of the bureau of fisheries in
Washington.
L heard a group of anglers boasting
and wrangling the other night. A pale,
grave man. after listening TO them for
some time, said quietly:
Gentlemen, did you ever wonder
what finally became Of the whale that
swallowed jonah"
What's the use of wondering about
that? Nothing dehnite's known said
trout fisherman rudely. Boys" he
went on, she tipped the beam"
Look here" the grave man inter
rupted. I know what became of that
whale"
.Humph! what?" said the trout
fisherman.
For the rest of his life he made a
bore Of himself telling all the other
whales how the largest man he ever
caught wriggled loose and got away"
