a mellow confidence in mankind. She
was ready also to indulge In the fem
mime proclivity for bargaining.
'No work, no food" she said. "If
you will wash my dishes you may help
yourself to the eats"
The tramp agreed; Mrs. iKndall left
him and ran along downtown.
When she returned that night the
od0r of baking was emerging from the
kitchen. She peered cautiously in and
beheld her tramp arrayed in an i'm
provised white apron and cap. Every
thing was spick and span. She tiptoeo
upstairs and found that the house had
been cleaned from top to bottom.
The hobo, as 1t afterward turned out,
had once been well-trained house
servant. lie knew his business. lie
presided over the destineis Of the Kin
dell kitchen for a year thereafter before
the itching foot again overcame him.
Representative julius Kahn, of San
Francisco, the benevolent. curly haired,
one time actor. believes that the public
has fully made up it's mind that tax
money Is always foolishly squandered
and tells the following story to prove
his contention.
A group of the humber citizens of
San Francisco had gathered out by the
Cliff House that looks on the Golden
Gate and had consumed most of q per-
fcctly good Sunday afternoon arguing
political issues, local and national. A
mere handful Of them remained as the
afternoon waned and the customary fog
started drifting In and listened to an
Italian spellbinder as he denounced the
demon extravaganza.
"Whatta you tink they do?" he
cried passionately. They take de mon
of de people and buya de bigga fog
horn for de Golden Gate. They fix heem
up and put hcem on de rock. Listen
You hear heem now maka bigga de
noise. You see de fog. Heem come in

Mrs. Frederick William Kindali, OF

her incidental difficulties In attempting
to reconcile political and household

Mrs. Kindall was one OF that group
which persisted IN picketing the White
House In Washington and which, from
time to time, came quite forcibly in con-

we're many other suffragists with her
and the servitude was afterward ex-

Of the nation in o special train and
prison raiment.
These activities interfered with Mr..
Kindall's three day with wife oppo-
site, but there were constant problems
even when the Buffalo home held its
full complement of occupants. An
emergency, for instance, faced Mrs.
Kindal one morning when she found
that the genius who habitually pre-
sided over her kitchen was q. W. o. J.,
that there was nobody to do the work,
