How about the big beefsteak supper
at Maier's brewery?
Were you there?
Well, anyhow, Barney Oldfeld was
and there were twenty nine others, but
Barney was the champ.
He ate more steak than anybody in
the party and was therefore awarded
the bun, although it was a close con-
test between him and our old friend Jim
Villipigue of Sheepshead Bay and the
Hoffman house.
All the Boys Were There
There have been many beefsteak sup
pers in Los Angeles during the past few
years, but the one given by the Maier
brothers, Freddie and Eddie, on Friday
night at their local brewery was the
prize. In way it reminded one Of the
famous Metropole beefSteakS that John
and George ConSidine used to give in
the Metropole, New York, where some
Of the famous men of the country used
to foregather.
Altogether it was a select party of
racing men-a stag affair pure and
simple. There was plenty of beer-bar-
rels of it fresh drawn from the wood
and lots of steak. Steak! Yes, there
was stockyard full of it-and Barney
Oldfeld took care Of the lot. What he
didn't eat wasn't worth eating. And,
as one Of the crowd said after the party
adjourned in the wee shall hours of the
morning, he is in a class by himself
when it comes to the old beefsteak.
Look Who's Here
When the party broke up I noticed.

Orpheum Records Broken
For the first time in its history the
Orpheum box office crowd was unable
to accommodate purchasers Of road
show tickets yesterday The long line
of would-be purchasers extended well
out into the middle of Spring street,
so interfering with traffic that the
police put a stop to it and required the
opening of a second ticket window.
AS the Orpheum does not possess two
box offices Treasurer Sonnerberg
showed his rolltop desk in front of the
door to his private office and sold
current show tickets there, while the
regular window handled the advance
sale, and Assistant Treasurer Warwick
stood in the lobby and spelled to the
throng, separating the two sets of pur-
chasers. At every performance of the
road show so far the utmost capacity
of the house has been sold, the IS. r.

top gallery. All Orpheum records have
been broken.

cars began to move slowly out of the
station.
After a few minutes Rosie found her
self flying across the country at a very
rapid speed. "Oh, I'm going to mann
ma" she whispered to herself. smiling
happily. won't mamma be surprised
when she sees me coming into auntie s
house? 1 know the way there, too. All
/ have to do when 1 get off the train
is to jump on a street car and ride till
/ come to the park where the fountain
with the flying doves throws water
about all day long, and there 1 will tell
the street car man, who wears a blue
suit and brass buttons, to let me off.
And across the park is auntie's house.
And I'll run up the steps and ring the
doorbefi, and mamma will say to
auntie: I wonder If that's the doctor
or caller? And the maid will let me
in and I'll run upstairs to auntie's room
and say: Here's your little grille on
her sixth birthday, mamma Oh, won't
that be a happy surprise for mamma? !?
And then she'll say: What about the
party this afternoon?' And I'll ask her
to telegram papa and grandmamma
that am in the city, but to let the
party go right on, and let Estelle
Johnson take my place and look after
everything, and put my birthday pres
ents away for me-"
Tickets" said a big voice in the
aisle behind Rosie, and looking back,
she saw the conductor taking up the
passengers tickets. Not having bought
a ticket, Rosie took from her purse the
silver dollar Once when she and her
mamma were going to the city they
reached the railroad station too late
to procure tickets before boarding the
train, and she had seen her mamma
pay money to the conductor instead of
handing him tickets. So she intended
adopting the same method.
The conductor stopped beside the
seat occupied by Rosie, but he spoke
to a woman who sat across the aisle
from Rosie. "Tickets, am" The
woman handed him ticket, which he
took and punched. Then he said:
Cricket for your little girl here"

JOY birthday when mamma is away.
Then Rosie let fall the doll she held
in her hands and began to think. AS
an idea flew through her mind her eyes
grow round and sparkling and happy
smile crept to the corners of her dear
little mouth. After a few minutes sho
sprang from her little chair and ran to
look at the clock in the hall. "Ill have
lots of time," she said to herself. And
I'll not tenn a soul about it, Papa won't
children all come to the party they can
children all come to the party they can
have the cake and ice cream and all the
goodies same as though | was here.
And I'll telegram to papa when 1 get
through"
Just as the closk struck 10 Rosie
passed out through the front hall door,
going off at a run toward the railroad
station. She carried. tightly clutched
in her hand, tiny gilt purse. one which
her papa had given her at Christmas
And in the purse was q silver dollar
which grandmamma had given her on
the same festive occasion. She had
watched her opportunity to slip out
from home while the cook was gone to
market.
Reaching the railroad station, Rosie
saw the train standing beside the plat
form. A number of people, heavily laden
with luggage, were going aboard, ana
Rosie, asking no questions, entered one
of the cars. She found an unoccupied
seat and took possession of the end
nearest the window. Hardly had she
become comfortably seated when the

HONEY POTS

This is an old game, but one much
enjoyed by small children.
Two players are selected as Honey
Merchant and Purchaser. These two
should be the tallest and strongest of
the party. 1t is better when older
brothers or sisters, or papa and man.
ma" can be induced to act these parts.
The Honey Merchant has his store
where the rest OF the children take the
parts of honey pots. They must sit IN
row on the floor, or on the grass II
playing out of doors, with their hands
clasped under their raised knees. Then
the game proceers in this way: The
Purchaser approaches the Merchant
and asks: Have you any good honey
for sale?" The Merchant says; "Yes,
sir; first rate. This pot is from Mount
Hybla the finest honey in the world;
this one is from Sicily, as good as any
you could get from Martindale's. Taste
and try before you buy"
The Purchaser shakes his head and
says: mot very good. 1 like this Eng
lish jar; how much will you sell it for?"
"a shilling a pound How much does
it weigh?" Then the Merchant says:
1--WE will see, if you will be good
enough to help me-" They then take
hold of the arms of the English jar
(who must hold her hands tightly
clasped under her knees) and swing her
backward and forward till she cannot
hold her hands together any longer and
her feet touch the ground. She is then
said to weigh as many pounds as times
she has been swung backward and for
ward.
The Purchaser may object to the
weight as too much or too little and
choose another pot; thus the game goes
on till each jar has been swung and
taken mart in the play.

woman, looking sharply at the con-
ductor I'm travelling alone, sir"
"Well, whose child is this?" asked
the conductor, speaking to the woman
and pointing toward Rosie.
I'm Mr.. Jackson's little girl, sir"
spoke up Rosie, not waiting for the
woman to reply to the conductor.
"And is your father travelling in the
smoker?" asked the conductor of Rosie.
Papa isn't travelling at all today"
explained Rosie. II am going to the
city TO visit my mamma and aunt.
Here is some money, sir. L didn't get
a ticket" And Rosie handed the sill
yer dollar to the conductor.
"But where are you going?" asked
the conductor, looking at the silver
dollar. "And why didn't your father
see to getting your ticket? You're a
mighty little trick of girl to be trav-
cling alone"
I'm going to A" explained Rosie.
"Going to Az" and the conductor
opened his eyes very wide. why, my
child, this train is going in different
direction. Our next stop is Danton,
fifty miles from here. What did your
father mean by allowing you to get on
the wrong train?"
MY papa didn't know I was going
to visit my mamma" said Rosie,
"But please let me off, sir, and I'll run
back to the station and get on an
other train-one that will take me to
A"
why, my child, I can't stop this
train till we reach the next station.
This is a limited train and every
minute counts. Besides, we're now
fifteen miles from where you live. No,
you'll have to go on to, Danton, where
I'll put you off and instruct the station
master to put you aboard the next
eastern-bound train and to have the
conductor take you in charge. This is
a pretty mess, little girl. You're.
runaway. and just a baby, at that"
"But-but-oh, please, sir, I must get
off and go back to my home,' cried
Rosie Papa will be crazy about me
when he doesn't hear from me. If
had gone to A mamma would have
telegramed to papa, and that would
have made it all right"
Los Angeles herald., 1909-07-04

whats your fathers name, little
one 2" asked the conductor, taking d
pencil and a slip of paper from his
pocket. "I'll wire from Danton that
you are safe and sound, and that you'n
be home on the $50 train this after
noon. Here, give me this dollar to pay
for the wire. I'll give you the change.
AS for your farewell, your father Will
fix that-if there's any fare due the
company I'm in doubt about that, for
you should not have been permitted to
get on the train alone"
Rosie felt somewhat relieved when,
about two hours later, she stood in the
station at Danton and saw the big con-
ductor write out a telegram to her
father. And the conductor put her IN
the care of the station agent, very
nice man, who gave her some chewing
gum and who telephoned to his OWE
little daughter to come down to the sta
ton and keep the little runaway com
pany till time for her to depart.
And with the money that was ieft
after sending the wire to her father
Rosie bought something to eat at the
lunch counter in the station house ana
invited the station agents little daugh-
ter to partake of it with her. IT'S my
birthday" confided Rosie to the little
companion "And there's a party be-
ing given at my home for me this after
noon. But I'll miss it all, for it's to
be over at 4 o'clock. But III get home
before supper, and grandmamma ana
papa will tell me all about it, and I'll
have lots of fun looking at my pres
ents. But it's very wicked of me to
have run away, and when I get home
again I'll never leave without mamma
or papa are with me. Just think what
might have happened to me if the con-
ductor hadn't found out that L was on
the wrong train! oh, l might never
have got home again!" And Rosie
trembled to think what might have
happened to her-a naughty runaway.
And that evening when she rolled
into her own home there were papa
and grandmamma to meet her, and
both had many things to say to her
about little girls running away.

DOG THAT eRINps SCISSORS

A dog named Rover, owned by
George Ross of Carpintoria, Cal, has
been taught to turn the wheel that fur
nishes the power for his masters scis-
sors- s-grinding machine. Rover gets on
the wheel of his own accord, and mer-
rily treads, treads. while his master
sharpens scissors and knives
The good dog seems to think that 1T
is a game devised for his special
amusement, and when business is slack
he will run to his wheel and bark re-
proachfully at his master until Mr..
Ross feels obliged to attach the rope
which turns the stone and gets TO
work
Rover never seems so happy as when
business is brisk, and he can send his
big wheel around and around for a
whole morning. He will then sleep for
a half-hour after he has had his din
ner, and then be ready for work again
with his master in the afternoon.-M.
