WHY DID HE TAKE UNFITTING
HEADGEAR WHEN HE HAD HIS OWN?
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.

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.
