Water department officials are hav
ing plenty of grief these days for all
the public has not yet adapted itself
to the stringent rule adopted by the
council relative to the collection of
water rent. Yesterday saw several
tonsumers disconnected for not pay
ing the tenth of the month, according
to regulations, and as it is somewhat
of a necessity rather than a luxury,
the consumer soon guides his steps
toward the department offices. What
happens there can best be imagined.
The department believes the entire
list of consumers will soon become
accustomed to the rule which gives
them from the first of the month un-

tle Tim and Colonel Mike secretly
scanned the bill of fare and found that
four oyster stews at 25 cents each
would Just flt their pile. Little Tim
blandly and innocently impressed this
conclusion upon the young girls. Any
thing Little Tim said was accepted as

stews were before the little party.
One of the girls liked catchup. While

Two burglars were on their trial and
had engaged a smart lawyer for their
defense, who. on cross examining one
of the witnesses, said: "Yon say that
on the night in question the moon was
so bright that you could see the bur
glars in the room. Was your husband
awake at the time?"
Witness 1 don't know.
"Was bis face turned toward you or
not?-
The witness answered that she did
not know.
What: You don't know? Now, come,
tell me. was bis face turned toward
you or the wall?'
'"I don't know."
"Ah. ha: I thought so," turning to
the jury. "She could not see. She
who identifies the prisoners could not
see which way bet husband's face was
turned. Explain that if you can."
"Well, sir. my husband is so bald
that in a dim light I can't tell his face
from the back of bis head."

Maxwell Wins
Thrills followed thrills as speeding automobiles shot around the
course of tbe Inglcside Race Course, on April 24th, In the second and
final day events of tbe successful meet promoted by tbe members of
Islam Temple of tbe Mystic Shrine.
ThehoBors of the dsy were divided between Barney Oldfield, with
Bis 200 horsepower Bens machine, and C. O. King, with his Maxwell
30 horsepower stock csr. Oldfield lowered his previous record of one
mile to 61 5-6, which is a new coast record for the circular track.
With the exception of this performance, Oldfield had to take second
place In the list of racing honors, as the world's champion met detest
In both the five snd fifteen mile handicap events, and In both races
King and his Maxwell were tbe victors. In fact. King proved the
surprise of the meet, driving all of his races with much judgment and
taking tbe turn's with his car as close to the fence as did Oldfield. In
the five mile handicap, Oldfield drove his Knox racer to tbe utmost,
but tbe handicap was too strong and he could not get tbe lead away
from King. Not only in tbe handicap events did King and his Max
well prove stars of tbe first order, but In one of tbe first events of the
day, the fire mile race for cars costing from $1200 to $1600, which was
one of the bestmatrbes of the meet
The time for tbe five mile handicap was ss follows: Maxwell,
King, 4.40.30; Oakland, Nelson, 4.46.25; Chalmers. West, 4.49.30: Anto
Car , finished fourth, and tbe Knox car. Barney Oldfield driving, fifth.
In the event number eight, ten miles free-for-all handicap, King
sod his Maxwell again were the winners, the Maxwell's time being
