per cent of the Elks who registered at
the big hotels have remained in town
for few more days in order to see
more of the city than they were able
to view during their strenuous round of
scheduled pleasures in the carnival
week.
Bromides Popular
W. H. Sibbald, John B. Mills, FL ].
Make and Joseph Reichl, who are the
'men behind seen around the Alex
andria at night, state that where they
have OF late taken tonCs, they now
think that bromides would be a pleas
ant change. The men, who during the
past week had little time to talk to
anything less than a millionaire or an
exalted ruler, received a newspaper re-
porter in such an affable manner that
the latter thought they had made a
mistake as 10 his identity, and hastened
to explain his status. However this
made no change, and the embryo HOr-
ace Greeley went away highly eated.
". II. Sibbald Informed the inquirer
that all who remained in the host Try
which he served did so because of their
enthusiastic approval of Los Angeles
and its inhabitants, and not because of
any inability to raise the price Of the
ticket home. ANY way they all have
return trip tickets, and broke people

Vention was in fact a delegation of the
Epworth league, 100 in number and
under the escort of Rev d. E. Glow,
which on its returnrfrom d convention

Last week we had a stormy voy-
age" said Clerk a. f. Molina. but
this week we will get a respite, and
then our men will not need to take any
sleeping powders in order to enjoy their
nights rest. l shall do "A polite imita-
tion of Rip Van Wrinkle at my first op-
portunity."
Salvation Army Reappears
An aftermath Of the celebration is
the sudden revival of religious fervor
and the Salvation Army, which last
week met with much competition, has
risen again as from sleep and be-
taken itself To garuering in the sinners.
The bass drum and cormct Of the
pioneers of Salvation can once more be
heard and are not drowned by ffty-niece
musical organizations whose members
are largely composed of those who are
more intent upon ways and means of
refreshment than The best method TO
attain eternal bliss Flceting joys haye
taken to the tall timber and the voice
of the tempter. if heard, is now a hOarse
whisper instead of TaucouS roar
Even If father does know some Elks,
he will be expected TO be home TO
supper on time, and if he comes ia

ones at home will expect the head of
the household in future to cOntine him
