O'ER TRUE TALES Gathered at the Recent Editorial Rodeo at Bakersfield MRS. HOGABOOM'S LOBSTER Mrs. W. C. Hogaboom, wife of the editor of the San Pedro News, was recently showing some Pasadena ladies along the shore of the inner harbor at the seaport town. The fishing fleet was just coming in with a great catch, and the captain of one of the vessels presented her with the largest lobster caught by the fleet this season. Figuring that one lobster at home was not enough, she took the crustacean, placed it in a paper bag and soon started home with the other ladies. After walking a block or two she noticed the heft of the paper bag had suddenly lightened, and looking back beheld the lobster, which had fallen from the bag, following her upon the sidewalk. The good lady took it home and has trained it to sit upon its perch and whistle like a parrot. It is also learning to laugh at her husband's jokes, and Hogaboom and the lobster have become so attached to one another they sit up nights together swapping yarns. Mrs. Hogaboom intends to teach the lobster to write editorials for her husband's paper. THE PSYCHOLOGICAL MOMENT. At Bakersfield the other day a cistehachepi editor was shown to an elegant suite of rooms in the New Southern hotel which had been occupied by a noted prohibition orator conscionable depth. The ladder ended. They dropped—thousands and miles. When he landed he upon a heated and black way, with sulphurous lightning flashes emanating great furnance in the door which the roadway earthly groans came to closure. He approached the knocked. A portly gee horns and spiked tail, whiskers and goatée, hand, opened the door Senator Estudillo. "Is this—ah, pardon me I at?" queried the Victor. "This is Sacramento is in session. In here without a pass." The door was slammed. The editor felt himself on the wings of the night and rose, it seemed few years. Finally he stood pearly gates. A wick and St. Peter peered out. "Who are you and business here?" the said. "I'm Mr. Chapin of H." The door swung wide. Peter issued forth in a "Come in, come in," he said, graciously, grazed the hand. "You're the man we have had since I've been holding job." THE PSYCHOLOGICAL MOMENT. At Bakersfield the other day a cistehachepi editor was shown to an elegant suite of rooms in the New Southern hotel which had been occupied by a noted prohibition orator some days previously. The New Southern, by the way, will linger long in the memory of the newspaper men recently housed therein, for a more elegantly appointed hostlery does not exist on the coast. Its cuisine and dining service may well be patterned after by some of the more pretentious hotels and high-sounding restaurants one hears so much about. The morning after his arrival this particular newspaper man was taken with a severe toothache, and being unable to procure the usual medication in such cases made and provided, and having left at home his revolver wherewithal to shoot the tooth out, he hearkened to the suggestion of the bellboy to acquire a modicum of a new toothache panacea recently discovered by Mr. Boggs in the Kern river oil fields. This remedy was a moment later on produced, and was found to have inserted in the cork a tiny corkscrew nowhere ever seen before except in Kern county. The editor, eager to sample the new remedy, and wishing to still further guard himself against snake bite, for he was billed for a trip to the McKittrick district to search for big game, endeavored with such particularity to extract the cork that the wire was broken, and the bellboy had to be rung for again, for the editor had left his own corkscrew behind, and the toothache seemed to be getting worse. The bellboy failed to appear, and the editor rang for him again. He waited patiently for the sound of footsteps in the hallway. "I'm Mr. Chapin of H." The door swung wide Peter issued forth in a "Come in, come in," he said, graciously, grazed the hand. "You're the man we have had from since I've been holding job." STORY OF A FRESNO A Fresno editor was feathered—as doubtless rel richly deserved to editors have never a fee for never was an editor that county, and Mr. still lives there serene and wearing a white waist when it comes to the suing asphaltum, that's Fresno editor moreover a chicken in the historic county. The following day a vidual entered the sandstentorian tones demand where the editor was. "He's up in the loft, printer's devil, 'the city and feathered him last he's afraid to come down." "That's just what I him about," replied the than ever, "those feathers to me, and I want him them."

The bellboy failed to appear, and the editor rang for him again. He waited patiently for the sound of footsteps in the hallway. Presently he heard them approaching. A gentle knock came cautiously at the door. Seizing the flask and opening the door, the editor thrust it into the darkened hallway, saying: "I've broken the corkscrew, and can't get the cork out." A delegation of Kern City anti-wide-openers, who had called to pay their respects to the orator herein-before referred to, turned on their heels, and stiffly said, "Good morning." PASADENA EDITOR IN HEAVEN. A Pasadena editor dreamed he died and went to—well, the place all Pasadena editors go to when they turn a rule on this mundane sphere and hie themselves into the beyond. He descended a long flight of winding stairs, going down, down, down. When the stairs ceased he came to a ladder. This he descended for thousands and thousands of miles. Then the wooden ladder ended and a rope ladder began. This the editor descended to an un- The Kelson Mining and Company G. L. McIntyre, Los Angeles, Pres. C. C. Chapman, Fullerton, V. Pres.

New Postmaster for Fulferton Fullerton is looking around for a new postmaster, Mr. Tresslar having tendered his resignation to the department at Washington. About six months ago, after an investigation was made of affairs in our neighboring town, according to the Tribune, an inspector recommended to the department that a change be made in postmasters. At that time strong political influence was brought to bear and the present postmaster has continued in office up to the present time. Some weeks ago a second investigation was made into local postal conditions and according to the latest news from outside, Mr. Tressler was asked to resign. The central committee has been asked to recommend some one to succeed him. A leading republican of Santa Ana notified Mr. Tresslar on Saturday that a change would be made soon in the office. Mr. Tresslar stated that he desired to take up the matter once more with Congressman S. C. Smith before he tendered his resignation. It is said he did not decide to resign until Sunday or Monday.
