RODGES THINKS
SARATOGA IS GOOD
CLIMATE, THE GRUB AND THE
SOCIETY OF CALDWELL
THE BEST THERE IS.
Walter Sebree Finds that Everything
Agrees with Him, Especially
Poached Eggs on Toast in the

toga Crowd.

Poached Eggs on Toast in the
Evening-Sidelight on the Sara
toga Crowd.
Frank Rodges approached the Tri-
bune the other day and asked: why |
do you never say a word or two about |
the Saratoga hotel? The wise news
paper does not discriminate. You
are all the time boosting for new ho-
tel, when in fact Caldwell has today
one of the best hotels on the Short
Line; Ed Potter is one of the pleas
ATTEST inn-keepers in the country, and
Tompkins-you know Tompkins, 9th
er than Dad Patten, Tompkins is the
only cafe man Caldwell ever had; and
then think Of the good society the
guests of the hotel have absolutely
free of charge At the hotel there can
be found Sebree, Knight Gibobns,
Richardson and Fred Hartenbower as
guests, and Tompkins, Potter Bur
roughs, Banks and Petrie as entertain
ers. Some times the guests entertain
the proprietors and sometimes it is
the other way about. But all in all,
up one side and down the other, it is
a happy ro,licksome crew.
why, do you know, Walter SIS
bree spends his entire winters in this
town simply to enjoy the good society
and the poached eggs on toast iur-
nished by Garcon Tompkins. You
know that Los Angeles is supposed to-
have the climate in the winter, but it
does not furnish the entertainment.
mean no reflection on Caldwcll's
climate nor on the Los Angeles So
ciety and poached eggs on toast, but
both of the latter would have to be
fresher than they are in order to equal
those of the Saratoga. And it is
doubtful if there is a town on earth
that could furnish SO many to help
him rest. AS a helper at restfest
Gibbons is hard to beat He can
rest in more ways than any person
with whom | have ever been acquaint-
ed No disparagement is meant to
the others at the Saratoga. There
are others not to be despised at rest
ing, but there are kingpins in every
line Wise is he who recognizes the
kingpin when he sees it. Now for
manly beauty. Fred Hartenbower is
the kingpin. He is without compe-
tition Dan Banks and Fred Richard
son have pretensions, but they are
clearly outclassed. Of course Jim
Knight cannot be overlooked and Ed
Potter is some beauty, but for reaI
, pulchritude Fred Hartenbower is the
boy. Others have the form, some the
eyes, a few the hair and one or two
the complexion, but have yet to SEE
the combination on any other thar
Fred. If he had lived in days of yor'
