AT THE DAVIS. “Californ| and Photoplays. ‘When an Englishman of wealth was building a railroad and his civil en- gineer ran it straight through the mi: sion of St. Juan, it made a young lady angry. For her father's bonmes lay buried there In “California.” The monk and his Mexicans were also grieved. So when the surveyor and the magnate came along that way there was billed a double hanging on the tree in.the mission yard. The plot gave the charming senorita opportunity for some effective acting and dainty dancing and soulful singing at the Davis on Mon- day, to the end that the Englishman arranged a detour, the engineer suc- cumbed to her charms,and the paternal Dbones remained undisturbed. The men of the company and the mule supported their leading lady to the satisfaction and applause of the full houses.

The subscriber who calls his house and in reply to the operators re- port of “They don’t answer,” says, “Ring them "again. I know thers is_someone there,” is the pest of the telephone operators. Upon a second or third report of “Don't swer,’ he calls the information operator or the chicf operator and bitterly com- plains of the service, saying that he can never depend on his telephone. The chief tries his telephone and of couse, gets the same report. Oces this make him feel any more kindly toward the service? Not on your life? When.he gets home and tells wifey'all about it does she help out the company? Not noticeably.
