more rapidly on account of

Wife Game
Over; Asks :.
Separations

Andrew and Steenie Falk were
married happily and lived togeth-
er I'm Sweden until four healthy
children, two boys and two girls,
were born. Andrew thought
chances would be better in this
country, SO he came over, Ieav-
ing Steenie with the children.
For sixteen years he worked
along alone in this country. Then
he sent money for the :. family.
When his wife came she brought
him not only the four children,
but little girl 13 years old also.
They lived together some. time
and finally he brought suit for
divorce. She replied in cross
bill saying he was q shiftless fell
low and had accumulated moth
ing but farm which was given
to him and asked for the divorce
herself.
Judge Easterday is trying to
unravel the domestic tangle this
afternoon with the help of an in
terpreter for the woman.
Judge Easterday this morning
granted a divorce to Irene Annis
against w. A. Annis. whom she
says just picked up and left
home last May and never has
been heard from since. Three
children were left for the mother
to support.

he added. II do not mind it any
more. Lots of people come here
every day and roast me to my
face. l just SMILE"
We asked Bean what complaint
was occupying his attention at
the moment.
1.-The smoking complaint" he
replied, smiling. "Perhaps you
didn't know it, but Tacoma has
more miles of track per capita
than any other city In the world.
Fact! Necessarily there are long
hauls. 1t is a hardship on q man
who cannot smoke at his work
not to he allowed his pipe or cigar
on the car. It's about the only
chance he has to smoke. L have
to. explain this to great many
women every day. They say to-
bacco smoke makes them ILL.,
''There are complaints about
transfers, and about the conduct
of conductors, and about sched-
ules. The. door, as l said, is al
ways open. The only way to
please our patrons, the public, is
10 get their views and adopt their
suggestions wherever possible.
There are pessimists in Tacoma
who say our street railway, char
itably viewed, is the rottenest in
the world. And even our most
incorrigible optimists do not call
it good.
But this much can be said with
truth: that it is better than it was
when Bean took hold. Personal
ly, Bean is a pleasant man to
meet. He is tall, smooth-faced
and calmly smiling. His eyes
smile even when his lips are
grave. His ciose-cropped black
hair is tinged with gray, and there
are tiny wrinkles about his eyes.
We would say they were wrin-
kIes of worry and care if he was
not always smiling.

It is n privilege to be known by
the name of Bean. Living up to
the name is not easy. One ex-
poets much of Beans.
Beams are more than whole
some food. Boston beans, like
the Sacred Goldfish and pie for
breakfast, stand for culture.
On the other hand, il we de-
scend to the vulgar language of
the street, we mention "spilling
the BEANS" "Spilling the beans"
has mueh the same meaning as
.supsetting the apple cart" Beans
are desirable, and to "spill the
beans is catastrOphy.
Hence we have come to look
upon beans as symbolic of all ex-
-cellente enterprises and institu-
tions. We should be careful not
to '.spill the BEANS"
Lewis HI. Bean Is an excellent
| institution. 1t would be a dis
aster IL the Tacoma Railway &
Power Co. were to spill Bean.
! About three years ago the COM
pany spilled Dimock and brought
young Mr.. Bean down from Bell
ingham to be general manager of
the traction system.
Dimock ran the system with a
snarl. Bean runs it with a smile.
Smiling is the best thing Bean
does. They say he takes off his
smile with his clothes and wears
Epaianias and frown until break
fast time. This, however, is idle
/ conjecture. The general public
has never caught Bean when he
was not fully clothed and smiling.
| : We-the photographer and T.
interviewed Bean today. The
most remarkable part of the in
lterview came before it began. We
walked right into Beans office.
Ponder that : statement. We
walked right into the office of the
| general manager of street rail-
way system, and said: "How-de-
lido, Mr.. Bean" And ''How-de-
do, - said Mr.. Bean. What can
| do for your"
| He was smiling.
ssYou can let us take your pic
tures' we said.
"0ertainly," said the smiling
MIR. Bean. AT my desk? How
dots this position suit you?"
We talked.
We told MIR. Bean we had heard
| he had the most trying job in Ta-
coma.
s.No, mol" disavowed the smil-
ing generaI manager. '.It is true
I receive many c0mplaintss. Some
iustffiable and some foolish. The
door is always open. You expert

men in charge of the mechanical
end, In the accounting department
and so on. May ask IL it is the

me?''
We FASTENED to assure Bean
that such was not our intention.
His smile widened.
II am used to being roasted. =
