As the Rambler came down street
the other day the fare Of the red
light gave the signal that the police
department was wanted post haste.
Soon from down Sixth the entire day
force came rushing in single file. his
star flashing ON his noble bosom. and
his nose In the air for the scent OF
trouble he expected to find at the
corner of Sixth and G streets. He
had been told that there he would
find some Suspicious characters"
who looked as though they needed
police surveillance. and he brought
all the paraphernalia Of the office to
aid in the performance of his duty.
At the corner designated no one was
in sight except the regular habitues
of the lamp post. the little group dis
cussing the coming city election. They
bore no more ominous an appearance
than usual. At the opposite corner
the regulars were figuring on the
probable location of the sugar beet
factory-whether it would be in
south Grants Pass. or IL George
Sanders might not have 1t built on
the opposite side Of the river. Chief
Lewis called the roll OF his force.

returned toward the city hall, going
via H street. AS he passed down II
street there came a merry ha-ha
that resembled noise often made
by Judge Colvig.
Il have a clew," remarked the
chiefto his force. Its another one
OF Georges little jokes. He can't
wait till April 1st."
And from the color of the atmos-
phere on H street the Rambler knows
1t will be good locality to watch
for future developments.
County Superintendent Savage was
in a brown study, as the novelist
might describe the state of mind in
which the Rambler found him while
on his rounds.
Now, have been called upon
to answer all kinds OF questions, and
have usually managed to get away

lily, and II he admitted that his bet
ter half was boss, that would be a
pretty good test"
All OF which is proof that what
Lincoln knows about family affairs
would not bring school district
very heavy fund when the apportion-
.ment was made, and establishes his
position as hopeless bachelor. Who
ever knew q married man to admit
that his wife was boss? Or does the
man OF books think he can use that
kind of bait to change his matri-
monial state and inveigle some good
woman into thinking that she could
be head of the Savage family by and
with his consent?
And speaking OF the family boss
reminds the Rambler Of conversa-
tion that occurred at the dinner
table at Judge Haie's home. A num-
Iber of the lady members Of the local
corps of teachers were discussing the
probabilities of the denomination and
election of Woodrow Wilson to the
office of president.
Wilson will never be president
again" was the undecorated state
ment by the judge when he found an
opening in the talkfest.
why, judge, don't you think he
can be reelected" asked one Of the
fair wielders of the birch.
Il can't say as to that" remarked
the expounder of Blackstone. But
Mrs. Gait will be on the job then,
won't she?"
From which it must be inferred
that the judge believes that the wo-
man may be the head of the house
hold.
A couple OF Grants Pass ladies'
we're making their way through the
crowd at the Panama-Pacific exposi-
tion on San Francisco day, and the
wireless brings the story bone to
the Rambler. They were about to
enter the grounds when one noted
that special tickets should be pur-
chased. Reaching back, she grasped
the arm that she supposed belonged
to her lady friend, and with Come
on, hurry up, and get tickets for us,
and let's make day OF It," she
tugged energetically at the arm.
When the arm failed to respond, the
lady glanced back and noted that she
was vigorously contesting with an
!, other woman for possession OF most
prepossessing-appearing young man.
The young man looked willing, ac-
cording to wireless report, but the
claimant with a prior right won the
day.
