A GOOD JOKE

Last night, filled with peaches, pie and
cream,
aWoke from troubled dream.
thought I saw in a lawyers office, a
large. portly form trying to hide his
horns, claws. cloven feet. and hooked
tail under the sanctified clerical robes
of a Christian church. \ crown of
thorns upon his head, a large white
temperance ribbon upon his breast and
in his hand he held a placard: Equal
right TO all and special privileges to
none" He placed his hand upon his
| breast and said, ITO Tallahassee for
me"
| Then I recognized him-a politician
holding a caucus with his running
mate.
AS I listened his running mate said
"Parson, parson, you know the boys
and myself are with you in all your
| schemes But you also know that we
are mere children in comparison with
| you when it comes to tricks up your
sleeve.
! But parson, parson, you must under
stand that I am not to be left out in
this race by any single shot arrange
ment that you may have on hand. For
| il you do go to the legislature. you
| would need me up there to post you on
law points.
Say, parson, parson, the people know
me and it is no use for me to try to
| hide beneath any kind Of an old cask
or robe. I have got to come out into
the open to make fight for the sa-
looms, though 1 do say in public, that
personally l have cut them out. Yet
there are plenty of other men and boys
to be engulfed by them. So I say let
| them continue to do business in the
same old way. Long may they live and
prosper at the expense Of their human
lsacrifices.
But parson, parson, we who are on
1.-The inside know that your fight for our
beloved saloon interest has to be mads
under cover of the church.
Say parson. parson, that spiel OF
yours about separation Of church and
state is a corker It fools 'em. You
know two years ago we cried down
with the preacher in politics. But now
we don't say it, We need preacher te
make our fight for US. And you surely
are the man to fool the church and
Temperance people and get their votes.
| But now parson, parson, I'm mighty
!glad that this campaign is nearly over

coming which I fear will strip off your

livery of heaven, and leave you stand.

So draw yourself together, tighten your
robe bands, put lead sinkers into your

heart, SO that with your hidden sell

Carmel yawned and took another nap

What was the use? The city papers

and mattresses at Pine inn and Carmel
hotel, and the stablemen who had to
get ready to haul the visitors away
when they finally made up their minds
to go.
But when Carmel, smiling through
half dispersed and gentle fog, finally
did arise, 1t was happy. The show had
been a big success. Michael Williams
who is away in Arizona chasing and
catching health, was many times men
toned, for 1T was he who had con-
ceived the idea of placing a theater
in the pines of this classic retreat
across the hills from Monterey. George
Sterling, Mary Austin, Herbert Heron
and finally-last but by no means
least-J. T. Davendorf, who had gently
linked finance with art to the end that
the theater might be a reality, were
thanked for their important share in
the realization which had come of
Williams dream
Auto parties had come from the Pre-
sidio last night filled with Uncle Sam g
officers and their ladies'; buss loads
from Monterey and Pacific Grove made
the round trip. The Importance of the

by the clientele which was drawn to
the spot to hear Constance Skinner S

auto from San Francisco, brought
