Question Requiring Deep Thought and Much Philosophy to Solve Is Herein Propounded for Happy Solution That Will Bring Ease to Two Pates. THIS Is not a story of the missing link, nor is it a tale, weird and awful, of the man who tried to solve tlie absolute and of course failed. It is merely a yarn about a hat and the natural question that is always asked, why will a man, with his own peculiar shaped head, insist in carrying off a hat that does not fit-his conning tower, even when it !s the same size? This question gives the run to the problem of how old is Ann, and puts those who tried to find the "Lost Charley Ross" in the booboo class. It is a mys tery of the great and pleasant light of the dny. Rnd the solemn darkness, of tne night made glorious by its many artificial liphts. that has never been solved. Not only to the wise, but to those who have been educated in the broad school of just living, all men know that a hat must in needs first fit the head before it Is comfortable; else why should each and every hat tore have its round shaping block, and Its funny little rig-a-Jig. hat the obliging clerk slips none too gently down over your dome, and then when it reaches the stopping point, press down a flap that sends the sharp points of th little slats crushing through a bit of white paper, thus re vealing the bumps and other hidden tilings to your gaze? Another question that surges into Boace without an answer is why a man who has carefully punched in the hat band of his headgear his initials, will persist in carrying of fthe other fel low's derby? Is It because "the lights are burning hrlglltly, sir?" because the flow of liquid refreshments, the music and the dancing eyes across the table. have made him forget the shape of his head? Maybe so, but it certainly was not because the man who took the wrong hat was in need of a better one. Now, here is the story of why this was written. A man with the latest creation in headgear, whose Initials are C. H. W., gave his hat to the obliging waiter and it was deposited on the coat-rack. So did a man wnose initials are G. C. A. Both hats w'ere new. The sweat of neither brow had even discolored the bright brown band Inside. Nor were both heads shaped alike, and neither Tcnew the other. It wasn't a ca3e of exchange to get the best, it was just one of those tricks of fate that forced a condition upon two men that neither realized. It Is not always that such an ex change takes place In places where hearts are light and the lights are bright. A barber shop where men go with serious Intentions, is another pop ular place for exchanging hats that won't and couldn't fit. The restaurant is another place, only at the eating joints, you aro apt to have some crafty person swap, not only your hat for one that has seen better days, but vour overcoat as well, else why the sign, "Not responsible for hats or overcoats " Now, Q. C. A. can have his own hat and C. II. W. will glaffly exchange. .Hist call up Main 7070 or A 60i5 and ask for Williams. O. C. A. may have one kick coming, and that is because C. H. TV. carefully removed the price tag that still was clinging to the band, like a miser to his coin. WE RENT FINE PIANOS Every Home May Have Music for the Holidays.

COUNCIL SUSTAINS VETOES PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DATS. Fasn Ointment 1 guaranteed to cure any case of H-'him;. blind, bleeding or protruding Dilei ia Q lg 14 days or muney refunded. &oa Souther.n Pacific Gels Xo Extension of Franchise on Fourth Street. The City Council yesterday morning sustained the vetoes of Mayor Lane on the Fourth-street ordinance, grant ing one year's extension of time to the Southern Pacific Company to operate steam engines and freight trains, and on the ordinance revoking the employ ment agency license of Wisschusen & Jones, at ll'l Burn-side street. There was no comment whatever on either veto. The action is regarded as a big victory for the Mayor. The action of the Council means that the Southern Pacific Company will have to renew its petition for an ex tension of time, if its officers wish to again try to secure such a favor at the hands of the Council. Mayor Lane vetoed the ordinance because it con tained no provisions whereby the city could compel the company to abide by the law at the expiration of the time limit. ' In the matter of the veto of the em ployment office ordinance, the Mayor contends that the employment agents have authority, under city license, to furnish sailors for ships, and that no state license is required.
