Show A REAL CALAMITY. A Sunday passenger on an Oakland ferryboat studied out a complaint sufficiently important to make the Board of Harbor Commissioners take notice. She hunted up a deckhand and directed his attention to the life preservers stored in the deck ceiling. "Just look at these things," she said. "What's the matter with 'em?" he asked. "Matter?" said she "They're dirty. They ought to be washed. If a' woman with a nice summer dress on had to put one of these dusty things on over it", it would never be flt to wear again." Town Talk. |
