IN HOTEL CORRIDORS

| bridegroom. "I'il be able to afford it
as soon as I'm married"
An announcement of interest to hotel
men has been made by the Southern
Pacific railroad, which will hereafter
run limited train over the Coast line
between Los Angeles and San Fran
| cisco corresponding to a great extent
to the Owl train operated over the val
ley line. It will leave San Francisco
at 8 o'clock in the evening and will
arrive here at $3.50 the next morning.
1t is expected this train will find much
popularity among the travelling men
during the summer months.
Harry c. Fryman's auto didn't make
hit with the hotel men while they
were here but that's the only thing
that didn't. The auto got in wrong
because-but listen to what happened.
When the machines were lined up in
front of the Lankershim the first day
the hotel men were here Fryman's
was among them. 1t happened that
there was a party Of three women
with the Chicago bunch who wanted to
make the trip together. They tried to
get into several machines, but to no
avail: either the others were full or
were engaged by some one else. Any
way, the trio waited a long time for
their ride. Finally Harry's machine
pulled up. The party rushed for it and
piled in.
One sat down, then got up. Another
tried it, but she, too, was on her feet
in an instant They piled out and re-
turned to the sidewalk.
"Huh grumbled one of the women
"I thought that was five-passenger
machine. I'd like to see the three peo-
pie who could ride in that back seat"
Harry did not see the stunt pulled off
If he had he would probably have
kicked a side out of his car and made
it wide enough for the Chicago women
Among the many guests at the
King Edward hotel is ]. A. Archibold

department He is in Southern Cali

While here Mr.. Archibold has been IN

ance Of the officials of the local de-

himself as being very well pleased with
them.
You have an excellent department
here" said Mr.. Archibold last even
ing at the King Edward. "A depart
ment in keeping with the rest of your
city. OF course, situated as you are
and growing rapidly, the time is fast
approaching when more apparatus and
more houses will be, needed, yet at
the present time you have ample of
both for the territory which the Los
Angeles department is required to
cover
"The apparatus in this department is
especially good, being of the latest
design and up to date in every respect.
I looked over your water tower and it
is certainly a dandy. We have two
such towers in Cincinnati"
