The experiment on the elevated

noise by the use of a gravel roadbed

FINE QUALITIES.

gushed society and artist of San Francisco for
her originality and good
Having arrived at decision to indefinitely separate
from her husband Mrs Graham Sunday got up music
ale at which she calmly announced that fact OF it
may prove bit racking to society ladies to be
invited to a musicale and have their Beethoven and Wag
ner mixed up with delicate family affair, but think
moment and you will appreciate Mrs Grahams policy.
Under the usual procedure about IA reporters would
have begun roosng the Graham porch at the first
whisper of domestic trouble Mrs Graham interviewed,
would have told the society reporters beautiful yarn,
which they would have published along with half dozen
other yarns which she did not tell them. Or if she posi-
lively refused to talk at ALL they d have done the talking
themselves with illustrations. Then every last society
woman would have taken the main fact cut it on the bias
and sewed and other embellishments of
her own conception until neither Mrs Graham nor her
George could recognize their domestic affair.
Mrs Graham takes the short cut to "having it over

of originality, and most any we've ever met could
afford go slow about being cut loose from with
such qualities other things being equal or thereabous.

ROW At
WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON, May There
is great excitement among the
hired help at the White House.
The new housekeeper brought In
by the Tafts has ordered that the
three separate dining rooms here
tofore maintained by the colored
servants be merged into one, and
that all shall eat together in the
future. Up to present there were
three "sets" among the help en-
ployed by the president-first, the
upstairs crowd, which includes the
walters, the coachmen and the
chambermaids, with the colored
steward presiding; second, the
kitchen help; third, the laundress-
es and scrubwomen. The members
of the first class have been living
on the fat of the land and have
had a share of everything that the
presidents family ate. The kitch-
en- help Jared pretty we'll but not
quite so sumptiously, and the third
were glad to get what was placed
before them.

keeper will insist not merely on all
the colored help eating together,
but on their getting only plain

Ever since an alligator catchers'
union was formed in Florida some
thing over a year ago the funny
photographers have had great fun,
but now this object of keen wit
and fine sarcasm is no more. A
Florida labor paper says the A. c.
u. has been forced to disband. not
because all the gators have been
fished out of the swamps, but for
the reason that the reptiles are
considered luxury and the de-
mand for them was greatly re-
duced during the past year owing
to hard times.
However, the disconsolate news
paper humorists who read this
should cheer up and take new
hope. for listen: A circus clowns
union has been organized. Reason:
The supply of clowns, owing to cir
Gus consolidation, was becoming
greater than the demand and
wages have been falling to a point
that theatens to knock all the fun
out of these ancient and honorable
humorists. So for the good OF "the
greatest show on earth" itself, the
clowns are following the example
OF the actors and are organizing a
genuine union.
