True, "Bum" in “ead rage” got no job. Also, vwiad rage” he got no job. But in glad rage” he got*courteous treatment which was more than he got onthe east side of the avenue. Anyway, the philosopher dotided he would keep an eye on “Bam.” News of the Day Cond Subscribers to The Seattio Mar will confer a favor by notifying this office at onee of ure to secure prompt ular 4 Star. ie the desire of the Management to secure the best service for all, and complaints are given courteous and prompt attention youg paper falls to Fight vy 4 @cloek, kindly phone this office |) at once.
